Epidemic means a disease in a particular community. Its all about Brain Drain and migrating from country to study or earn and its epidemic, it may not cover the complete process and causes of brain drain, its my perception about this epidemic disease.
As I'm on the verge of completing my undergraduate, I hear my friends say about this and they got great desire rather a goal to get out of the country sorry our country. Their goal is very simple i.e to do a Post graduate over there, and earn some and return to India and for some others its like having their child over there to have the child's education at lower cost in an alien country. To put it in simple words they are trying to give this epidemic disease as a legacy to their upcoming generations.
I admit even I was affected once with this disease but very soon I recognized my country is no mean than the country they wish to go to earn or to study. Now I'm immune to it don't know how longer the immunity works. I wish the same immunity to be there with everyone who are trying to expel themselves out of their own country.
There is lot in our country to hail and to be hailed. If you still think you're missing something in our country then work hard to achieve what you're missing here and achieve it while you are still a voting citizen. Instead of spending lakhs in a country where your future is a big question mark, invest in your nation, build the nation and grow with nation. The country will remember you for that and not for studying somewhere and achieving it elsewhere and finally saying that you're Indian born Something.
From the view of these patients, they say the only option for them to earn quickly and swiftly is to become an alien to their ones' own country. They don't call this epidemic as a BRAIN DRAIN but they call it as a epidemic process of MONEY GAIN. Everyone has the desire to earn quickly and legally(to be noted off), but the path they take to do so is not liked by all and by me. For me an objective is a point in three dimensional space there are n number of ways to achieve the point. The thing is we should select the best path.
The path chosen by you all is not THE BEST, whats there in chasing the money in a foreign place and to become foreigner(ALIEN) among your relatives and fellow mates. It might be a BRAIN DRAIN or MONEY GAIN, but beware its like your betraying your motherland of her lack of potentiality.
Finally Its good to be Mr.Venkatraman Ramakrishnan who is residing at UK and a citizen of US, a Nobel laureate in 2009 added to all he is INDIAN-BORN scientist, but the best is Mr.Sir Chandrasekar Venkatraman who was an Indian citizen and a Nobel laureate in 1930. I hope there is enough growth in our country between 1930 and 2009. I feel guilty there isn't enough growth in our minds.
"Be proud to be Indian and make India proud of you"
