Equal pay??

I do not believe that the two software testers should receive equal pay.  The standards of living in both countries differ quite a bit and with $15000 sounds like a lot less this is still probably enough to allow the person in India to live comfortably. After doing some research I found that a middle class Indian can live on about 30,000 Rupees a month.  With the current conversion found on xe.com, an indian making $15000USD a year makes nearly 57,000 Rupees a month, more then double the standard middle class.  I would consider $65000USD to fall into the middle class of salary here, so in this perspective the indian is living at a higher standard relative to everyone else in his country.
