Arun Premraj, this article is talking about "entrepreneurs" returning to India and not about CodeCoolies.

I pray almighty to give wisdom for prematured posts & people who post here
WARNING: Returning NRIs don't read no further and stop now. Others continue reading.
It may sound a bit bitter, but the fact is : opportunists move where money is. These migrating opportunists went to US when India had less opportunities to offer, they are returning because they currently see better opportunities in India than in US. If they see even bigger opportunities in some other county, they will move there.
So, most of these people are neither Indian, nor American. They belong to any country where there is big opportunity at any point of time.
I doubt if 'entrepreneur' would be very correct term to describe these people. 'Opportunists' would be a more accurate term to describe them.
On the other hand think of Tata family. They were in India when India had almost nothing to be proud of. Tata was the only company to create trucks here and those trucks were used to carry goods to build homes, factories. At that time, no foreign automobile companies were interested to come to India. I mentioned about Tata but there were other companies who "created" (rather than "discovered") opportunities in India. So, probably we can call these people like Tata, who built India, as entrepreneurs.
In my opinion Indian govt must provide much more support to entrepreneurs who stay here and build opportunity here rather than those migrating people who change countries for opportunities.

Tatas (or their ancestors) came to India when the going got tough in theirCountry of Origin!! They made their fortune in India. Which week are you smoking?

I know about Tatas. You are confusing with his forefathers. Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the founder of Tata group, was born in India. He didn't come to India from other country in search of opportunity.
Tatas were not opportunists. If they were, they had enough money to move to an advanced country like US, UK etc. Rather they built businesses here in India and they lived here for generations. They could easily migrate their headquarters to US but they didn't do that.

May be you are proud to be Indian, but I don't know if there are enough reasons for Indians to be proud of those returning opportunist NRIs who leave India during bad time and come back during good time.
Opportunists don't care anything else other than themselves and their benefits / profits. So, no they won't bring progress or anything else for anyone. The moment they will see opportunity in another country, they will jump there.
Opportunists are not going to reduce corruptions. Rather, they are more likely to pay bribe to get access to opportunities.
Do Indians need NRIs to learn "the way of life"? You mean those NRIs didn't know how to live before they left India?
Yes, Tata and many other Indian companies are trying to get market share in US, UK and other countries. But they are known as "Indian" companies. Like we can't claim Intel as Indian company just because they have developed their latest processor in Indian branch of their company, US can't claim Tata as US company in case Tata make it big there.
Returning NRIs didn't make what India is today. India was built by those born here, lived here, built things here and made an identity for us in the World. So, returning opportunists are not really required. Not Required Indians.

Or is it money stashed abroad by politicians coming back through 'entreprenuer' route, as the pressure on foreign havens build up ?
These are the persons, once got themselves exported to USA for greener pasture. They ruined the economy of USA and became surplus and burden for them. They will boast themselves as 'US returned experts', capture the jobs and will ruin India and China.
Now the US Government should decree that those coming to their country shall be able to return to their motherland only after completing 10 years in the US. The world has definitely come a full circle !!!! HA ! HA ! HA ! HA ! or is it too early to start celebrating?
Many indians come back from different countries in the world depite they know the fact they are born and brought up in india. When other countries kick them, they think of india citing reasons that they want to serve india in improving economy.It is good lesson all of those who return back.They are not patriotic.Do not believe these people as they are of no use to our mother country.

I am sure Laloo yadav, Mulayam Singh, A raja, Mayawati and millions of corrupt govt officials/politicains are useful to your "mother country". They have served in "improving economy" ..All people ranting against NRIs are retards or jealous..They do not have the ability to even look at their own life and see what was the reason someone had to leave his country..NRIs had the same problems an average citizen has..An average citizen , in your point may be patriotic because he remained in India, has actually not served his country by any means...they become part of the corrupt system..Did u join Anna Hazare's movement..Did u do anything to serve your mother country or ranting on internet during office time is ur def of patriotism...NRIs left just to get a better living for their family..Its always a hard choice to settle in another culture..

Perhasp u are right to some extent. We cannot say that they are unpatriotic but yes they are selfish.It is the condeition in US which is turning back these people to India combined with the better facilities(viz health working etc)here in India the is forcing them to rethink of returning to India

I fully disagree with your observation, Indian who left their home country to earn a bit extra in foriegn land can not be termed as traitor, most of them send there hard earned money back to india if you see data of indian sending money from aborad is huge , few states economy is depedent on that kerala is one them. It is good that highly educated people are also returning to india certainly it will help indian growth.
