hey, hey...don't pick on india, they're still emerging - they'll make it through this php problem. we still have a lot of people using php here...the thing's contagious.
Although I don't have any hard evidence, I think this is less true with Ruby on Rails, probably Python/Django as well. I just can't imagine that legacy Rails applications are going to be getting outsourced anytime soon. It will probably take another 15 years before Ruby even comes close to the widespread usage of PHP.

Sooner same will be true for other languages as well

15 years is such a long time to predict anything.
If there is enough demand, Indians would definitely catchup on RoR/Python/Django.
Expect your PHP related projects to be outsourced in a big scale very soon.
