Our country is in ruins today, because the people have led it to this state. It is not only our deeds but our blatant apathy towards the state of affairs that will lead India into utter chaos

People leave because of the conditions (lack of opportunity, for example). The conditions are not due to those who leave. what you mention here is a vicious circle ...

there is a reason why people live together in so called societies an nations and a lot of it is based on the word "responsibility".

No, the resources do not exist and yes the opportunities are there in abundance but not the right people to make the most of it.

People staying back may not for sure improve things but it sure as hell works out much better as a probability than a case where that probability is an improbability ..

cash and kind.. yes thats what this country needs more and more NRI's using Participatory notes and pumping money into the country via FII's and evading all forms of tax and causing wild market fluctuations..

India is not in need of money .. that exists and if anything look at the market trends during recession.. they are proof enough of money in the country .. India needs people and that beyond an ayota of doubt is a fact.. and no I dont appreciate an NRI saying things are bad.. I dont because i know he has stayed away from trying to do something about it .. your reasons are based on the desire of self alleviation .. if so stop talking about the country.. I am not asking people to take up arms or forego luxury. I am saying get all that here. In the process you will improve lives of many people here, maybe not the political scenario or the social scenario but if history has taught something, it is that economics drives them all ...

That people staying back will make things better is just nonsense. That is the way it may feel but unfortunately that is not the way it is. In fact there is evidence that brain drain helps the country as people who leave do give back in cash or kind. At the least they make life of their kin easier. It also leads to more cultural, political and economic exchanges.

Given that the country has most of its people staying back, including many "smart" ones, it is not clear why those who leave will make the country better by staying back.

In general it is best that people expend their energies where their efforts lead to maximum gains (create maximum value). Not sure why anyone has any other "responsibility". This is best for them and also the world.

People leave because of the conditions (lack of opportunity, for example). The conditions are not due to those who leave.

In a country of a billion there must be many with the entrepreneurial spirit. It is worth pondering why they are not catering to the markets you claim exist. BTW, resources, their absence or abundance, is usually of very little consequence.

If exodus of the smart (highly educated?) was the problem, then the solution to world poverty would be to allocate the smart ones to places around the world in accordance with how poor the place is. BTW, prosperity has nothing to do with people having big degrees (as brain drain usually refers to exodus of such people).

Finally, as long as their is an iota of truth in a NRI's rant, its repetition may not be such a bad thing. It may irritate but that is okay. :)

the magnitude of what you do is not under scrutiny here as long as you are trying. See we cant shy away from the responsibility and talk about it .. i feel u lose the right in that case and that is purely what i feel so i will not go any lengtth to convince you on that, for it is personal choice. Hidden inside that strong statement is a weak plea to people , please stay back here. I have seen as an entrepreneur the markets here and the resources available and i have seen the quality of students in our universities and the number or proportion of those who leave the country ... i used to debate a lot over brain drain in college.. i used to debate for and against .. it was a topic then, but today i realise the difference between a topic and a reality. topic can be deliberated upon. reality has to be lived and experienced....

People have the right to complain, well they are abroad but they have lived in this county for last 20 25 years. Coming to the point talking is different from doing, people who talk would not have done a thing even if they were here, so nothing to feel bad about. I should not be talking as I have not done much for the country. I am also not saying that ppl abroad do nothing, there are ppl who want to and some do help ppl here. So, if we have to do something we must, any other opinion should neither affect our mind nor stop us from doing something we beleive in.
