Thank you Parul. Broadly, you seem to have asked two questions and here’s what I’ve to say :
1. As far as the history is concerned, I think, a nation, it’s identity i.e. what a nation actually is, is also determined by it’s past though I agree that’s the present which matters the most. I too, firmly believe that what matters is not where we stand but in which direction are we moving. And I’ve given quite a many reasons to be happy from the present day India.
2. As far as brain drain is concerned, we all know it’s a two way process. Nobody would want to leave his country, if he gets to use his knowledge and skills. Letting your knowledge die just because you don’t want to leave country isn’t a rational idea as well. And I think, the boundaries created by us in the form of countries are by and large social and geographical. The ultimate aim is – the good of humanity as a whole. And you must not forget, NRI remittances are 3% of the GDP.
And last, we would all agree no individual, no society, no nation can be perfect. India has, say a million flaws but under the darkness of those million flaws we must not let the light of its trillion qualities be overshadowed. At this, I would like to bring to your notice that 13 to 17% of Americans live below poverty line and infact 40% of the Americans fall below poverty line at some point in a 10 year life span!
