The Great Brain Drain

posted on : 2.2.2000 posted by : The Sahib

Ever wonder why there is such a severe "brain drain" from this great country of ours ? If you are still sitting back and wondering, you cannot ever become part of this brain drain thing because you obviously don't have half a damn brain to start with in the first place !

Well, enough of my opinions. Let's hear some of yours.

No, no, no ! That is not what I meant. What was intended to be conveyed was the thought that if it is not evident why youngsters are leaving India for better job and living prospects abroad, what with the relative lack of opportunity and appreciation of talent and education, that would mean that the reader would probably be severely lacking in thinking ability.

How could I ever be critical of a reader of the forum. In the first instance, I have no locus standii to be critical. I INVITE criticism, as against being judgemental of criticism. Without criticism we cannot progress, and life (as I look at it) would stagnate.

In fact I seek critical postings in this issue.

If you are jobless (read that as "without connections to be able to secure a job with a good pay") and well qualified, what is wrong in taking a job anywhere in the world ?? As long as what you have studied and done in the past is what will feed you and if one waits too long, one stagnates to a point where one is not able to do anything. What is wrong in trying to get the best out of it for oneself ? Does anybody care about the jobless and wonder about how qualified they are or how they feed themselves? Do we have the right to stop someone from trying to feed oneself?
