Hey,
You will find in the other posts plenty of information about the cost of living. But in any case, with 640K USD as salary you will have nothing to worry about as you will be making many times the average salary here. Medical costs are covered by the state except for the first 2000 NOK, restaurants are expensive compared to anywhere else and scholl is free (the norwegian one at least).
I think the issues about the legal procedures for Indian parents have been much exaggerated and given publicity for no good reason. Norway punish maltreatment the same way as other countries.

Even better if it's 640k NOK. You shouldn't have any problems living on that salary. Schools are funded by taxpayers so long as you are happy to make use of the state school system. I suppose the maximum concentration of Indians in Oslo would be in the Grønland area of Oslo. This is probably the highest concentration of non-western immigrants.
I don't think that case with the Indian parents which you referred to is something which is common.
You can find a cost of living guide at http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/ci … city=Oslo. I think it's fairly accurate, although the rent looks a little low to me. If you want to look at accommodation you can go to www.finn.no, although the site is in Norwegian.
