OP is obviously a top student with the Olympiad. It might be worth it applying to top US school even with the financial aid in Asia issues. People are talking about schools like Rutgers or Howard. I don’t see the point in that. You could probably get a much better education at more competitive schools in India than those. I wouldn’t consider anything not at least a top 50 school.

As mentioned, you can do undergraduate in India and apply to US graduate schools. For graduate school, you pay no tuition and get paid a small stipend.

I know you want to do theoretical math, but I would give some consideration to fields such as numerical analysis or computational math. Theoretical math has poor career prospects and is not practical.
