What I believe is that we have got one life or in the other words, one chance to fulfill our dreams. People who want to be successful can’t afford to take chance so they prefer to move out of india as they know that their talent will be recognized abroad. India is useless for ambitious people.

This is the duty and the responsibly of the government to retain talent in the country but people there are busy fighting for “Kaun Banega Pradhanmantri”. They just have one ambition in life, ie to be a prime minister atleast once before they die. I myself is waiting for a chance to leave this country forever.

You’re right. I have observed that people abroad are paid 10 times more for the same nature/amount of work that we do here. Its obvious why people who have talent do not want to stay here.

That is why the youngsters are just grabbing their degrees and moving out of this crap to some other country to live a better life that they deserve.

I agree with all of you, but please do not call the country ”crap”. It is too humiliating. The government is avoiding this. People who can, move out. Others who want to stay in touch with the culture and soil of their own country stay back, like me even if the going gets tough.

As far as I am concerned, I do not even care that a government exists. All I care is about the world and society around me. Dependance on Govt is not recommended. The path is tough, but there are few who are striving to make India the best. But without support, everything takes time.

Hey,

Read your blog completely. You seem to be contradicting yourself. Initially you say government sending people abroad and then you say

”Do you believe brain drain, regularly known as a main problem in our country is essentially a bad thing? I don’t think so. In reality it is a big gift that capable minds are able to depart the country and track their goals and dreams elsewhere.”

I have a couple of questions:-

(a) who are you referring to when you say ”sent by Indian government”?

(b) What do you suggest in a case where the particular industry that a person wishes to join is not really upto the mark in the Indian market, like Investment Banking for instance?

(c) Should the person just stay back home and keep trying and getting frustrated because it takes a HUGE amount of time, patience and energy for something to be done in India or go out for a few years, study, work, gain some skills and then come back home?

I am a journalist myself and a die hard Indian. I am outside to study and might work for a few years because I want to spend some real time on covering some serious stories, getting a name and then come back to India.

This topic is quite debated pretty much and if you really want to debate again, try getting a new angle to it. I for one couldn’t understand who your target audience was. It seemed quite whimsical.

Would love it if you could explain more.
