Question

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe

free

These are the words inscribed on the Statue of Liberty in New York.

But ironically, those who go there are not the poor and the wretched but

the skilled and the highly qualified doctors, engineers, scientists, nurses

and technicians, from other countries including India.

The urge to go to the West has become compelling in India in post-

independence years. Both the world wars and political upheavals like civil

wars and revolutions, spawned large migrations during the first half of

this century. The migrations in the latter half stemmed from economic

motivation. People in power like scientists and skilled persons have, from

the very beginning, played a key role in international migration. The

conscious policy to encourage migration of high quality manpower from

other regions and countries is related to the positive contribution made

by the immigrants to their country of adoption, resulting in a net

advantage to it.

The earnings and remittances from the Indians settled abroad or

their eventual return, are poor compensation for the lasting and serious

loss inflicted by their outflow. The specific objectives of the anti-brain

drain policies, within the framework of independent development, are to

bring back to a limited extent, the lost talents and skills from abroad and

reduce the outflow in the short run and finally end it, except that

necessitated by genuine, multi-lateral international dependence.

Brain Drain means professionals going abroad to work. This is not

good because nowadays all the good brains are going out to work for other

countries. If they had efficiently utilised their brains in this country, India

could have been a better country. America has become a developed

country, because there maximum number of employees consists of Indians

only. So if those employees had worked fo India, India would surely have

become America. So Brain Drain is not good from economic point - view.i) What kind of people do not go to America? [ ]
