Brain-Drain has to be stopped

Technological innovation always happens in a very limited number of places like the US. That's because you need a very special ecosystem that most other places just CANNOT provide. High-tech talent has to live in such places, otherwise, the whole humanity will die as a result of new diseases, biological warfare or space attacks. But economic development doesn't need a lot of high-tech talent. Singapore is a great example that has a lot of brain drain too but is a very developed country. You need less government interference and a free society for progress to happen, both of which India lacks. Brain drain is the great thing for India and the whole humanity, and it's just not impacting the country's development. Anyone who disagrees should first research facts and historical data on what impacts a country's development.

Many people on this thread are writing purely based on emotions and jealousy, not facts. The fact is that migration of human beings to places of greatest opportunity is the ONLY reason why human race has survived and thrived. Without migration, we would never have any of the innovations, which we take for granted, that have improved our lives unimaginably. In fact, if your ancestors did not migrate, there would just be a couple thousand human beings on the whole planet, all living in some African jungle. Migration NEVER hampers progress. Governments do. People's **narrow mindsets** that don't take into account facts or science do.

A country like India where majority people vote based on caste, religion and populist schemes, where people SUPPRESS their own children in the name of tradition, treat women as animals, try to live off of parents' earnings, progress is not going to happen. **Any country where majority people, instead of taking responsibility for their own lives, always try to tell others what others should be doing is going to doom. And those who don't want their lives to be ruined by such culture will move elsewhere. Developed countries became developed because most people there never tried to suppress their fellow human beings from achieving their full potential. **.

Country is just the people living in it. If you want development, majority of people should make yourselves worthy of it. China has a lot of brain drain too. But has done WAY better than India. Look at manufacturing, for example. Those highly talented people that migrate to places of greatest innovation are never required for economic development.

In a country where rape and harassment are pervasive, half the population (women) would love to move abroad. Most of them cannot because they don't have the opportunities. Basic law and order is missing from the country, something which should've been fixed by government decades back. All the developed countries have great law enforcement, because the governments there did an excellent job, and because the people voted for such governments. India has been messed up mostly by Indians living in it so far. It's those people who have to fix it. Good people will work hard to find better opportunities.

India is a free country, and Indian citizens are not bonded labor that they have to do something for the country. No country expects this of their citizens, countries are just an agreement of people to get collective defense and police protection using tax payer money everyone contributes. All other transactions within the country are done by people working and exchanging goods and services. And people will do as they wish as long as it's not illegal.

People living abroad have done great things for the country and humanity. If they've earned money, it's because of their hard work and integrity, and they deserve a great life. It is many people living in India that are ruining the country - earning money through fraud, or sitting idly and passing comments on others.

If it is possible to exercise highly scientific and technological talent in India, several talented people would've stayed back. It would've been only easier for them due to less competition compared to abroad. The truth is India absolutely lacks the ecosystem to foster any kind of hi-tech businesses, leave alone even mundane businesses. The root problem is government regulations and corruption which hinder any kind of economic growth. Reduce government control, and you'll have lots of prosperity.

To those people wanting to forcibly retain top talent: I think you should just eliminate the hordes of people in the country who hamper progress in the name of caste, religion, gender and community, people who've slacked in their life and expect someone else to take care of them, anyone who is corrupt and has earned money through fraud. With all those people gone, country will progress automatically, and all the top talent will return to the country.

If you cannot do the above, stop complaining about brain drain. The country's education system is broken and society is super backward. Top talent have educated themselves and gone abroad through hard work against all the difficulties that the country threw in their way. Still, those people have strong feelings for the country and help it out in innumerable ways through investments and charity.

What do you mean by doing for the country? No one in the country has ever helped anyone other than themselves and perhaps their close family. Every person is responsible for their own life, and have the fundamental right to live the life they want within the law. You want to target a group of people who've worked incredibly hard in their lives and make them sacrifice for others. Most of those others living in the country don't want to work anywhere as hard and want to forever stay mired in traditions, backward/unscientific thinking, and caste, color, gender and religion based divisions. They treat many of their fellow citizens (such as women and minorities) as second class citizens, harasses them everyday, subject them to rape and acid attacks. Asking super hardworking successful people to sacrifice their lives for such people is absolutely no different from **stealing** and **manslaughter**.

Grow up, take charge of your life. If you want to understand why India is not developing, read some history and economics on why nations don't develop. It is never due to brain drain (take Russia and China in the past for example), but bad government regulations and corruption, and a society that doesn't allow scientific and technological progress to take place.

In my opinion, every answer and suggestions given above is correct in or other way. This topic is debatable as there are different views for or against the topic from different people. At last, I would like to say that it is better to give your view rather read others view. If you agree with me give a like.

Hi guys, I agree that brain drain is not good for the Better future of India but there is also a big dilemma what should the skilled persons should do after being a scholar. Here, in India, leaders have money for doing scams, for making their n their love one's life luxurious but in real no one ever thinks about poor people. Here no regard for flair that it actually deserves. Many problems are here rubbish syllabus, which is completely not associated to which we will do in future but we have to study it, they compel us to waste our time for such things that is not co-related with our future needs. On the other hand, at abroad children study what they wan.

They mainly focus on talent. But just for a getting even a pan card we have to go many times otherwise pay others more than actual cost n get it easily. It is corruption. Govt. Employees don't want to do work properly as they think we are getting salary no need to work more. These are also few problems. Skilled n educated people think they can serve their parents in foreign better than in India. Abroad packages are according to their standard what they deserve. If our get this point n provide same facilities. No one would think to emigrate. Here the system is completely different, the leader who is either illiterate or literate have more respect than their commandos who did a lot of hard work to get that post.

N moreover, leaders get pension after tenure but the govt employees who serve for their nation get nothing. These are so unfamiliar things in India that's why people think for brain drain. I appeal to govt. Please check our talents from going abroad n serving for outsiders. Provide all facilities to them to give better outcomes. Because here no scarcity of money in India. Only usage of money is not in right way. So think about it.

In my point, Brain -Drain has to be stopped because we born in India educated in India then should we go outside the country for doing job and earn money in another country as a citizen of this country people should take the initiative to replace the Brain-Drain. If a person has knowledge people should apply in India. It takes time to known to or become popular because India is a developing country and if we take the new steps with new ideas can also we very helpful for our country.

As many people go to another country for the higher education should take the education and come back to the home and can implement their knowledge and skill for the development of the country in starting we should have faced many problem and struggle should also take place. But intake off these problems are come and Brain-Drain should be stopped.
