i don't think that just because we do well abroad, can all this be attributed to the tough education that we had here. the system in india teaches you to be a follower and not to be a leader. This is all inspite of and not because of the craaming that we do here. Thats the reason though we have highest no of engineers in US but are still not not a patch when it comes to original discoveries. A glance at the nobels in chemistry and physics would let you know that a small country like Israel has more to offer than just engineers who have been able to beat and survive the Indian education system to emerge victorious.
