Why should anyone leave their own country and live in an alien country like a slave or third class citizen just for a few more bucks is beyond me. Self respect and personal health( both mental and physical) is more important than anything else and when you cant have that, it's not worth it even if you earn a million bucks. If these people had stayed back in India and worked for the development of our country, things would have been much different.

Look, I am Keralite studying in Aus. I think, I do it because I am a patriot and can give back something to India in the future. Look at Shashi Taroor. He was/is 100% NRI. But now we are going to get benefited out of "reverse braindrain". More than that, I would say Indians should take their due place in countries like Aus. It's only a migrant country mate. The "whites" we so cunning and entrepreneurs that they occupied this land just 200 years back and started to enjoy its vast resources. Why cant Indian do that? We are bit late. But it it bit late than never. Go out to all the world and conquer than be a frog in the well. Indian youth should venture out to all possible corners of the world in search of "resources" and claim them. That's in our national interest!

by seeing all these corruption around us.....even they would have become corrupted.........it is better to work hard anywhere else instead of being corrupted.
A successful ENTREPRENEUR is worth 10 MBAs and 10 PHDs. Howver, I suggest every Indian to work and live in a Western Nation for at-least 3 months. You will learn the good, bad and ugly side of BOTH cultures and socio-economic conditions.
