Brain Drain !!!!

Re: Brain Drain !!!

Indians are migrating, but it is a less pronounced effect than in Pakistan. More and more highly educated people are choosing to remain in India. Indeed, there is a rising number of cases of reverse migration where Indians move back to India after being permanent residents or even citizens abroad.

The retention of intellectual capital has been one factor that has allowed India to experience such rapid economic growth.

Pakistan and India were roughly on par in this regard until the late 1980s. India only began to shoot ahead when Pakistan began experience severe instability in the 1990s in the aftermath of the Soviet defeat in Afghanistan.
