Its disturbing when you see this stats. But i am grateful to god that startup culture is growing in india and our govt is doing every possible things to support them and we have great industrialists who are being angel investor investing in potential startups!
No doubt startups culture is growing but how well the govt supports these start ups by tax benefits is equally important. Education is the most important factor for the growth but caste based reservations and politics to support these reservations have led this brain drain. It creates a huge impact and a big question mark on tax payers who don't even get basic facilities for the hard earned money paid us tax. Also indirect tax paid is not even counted for the salaried class. Also imagine a distinction passed out student doesn't get admission in a good college just bcz of a quota which made a 50% marks student get the admission. In the end you find such individual working for a govt entity (that too under reservations) and spend his or her life peacefully. And this goes on generations. No value addition to the country. Sad state. This is the reason Most of friends have migrated to developed countries.
oh please our govt is a joke. Only 10% people have taxable income and govt would spend it on building statues rather than development. And if you believe it's to attract tourists then you are a bhakt.
But it's also true that more and more Indian startups r moving there licensing to countries like Singapore and UAE but do business in India because of India's bureaucracy and corruption. Our education system does only a good job of acting as a filter, it doesn't teach anything about how to function as a human.
Democracies in any country can't be compared with other countries. Even in US, there are people who thinks they dont enjoy democracy in their country. So, the grass on the other side is always greener.
There's always room for improvement. Human being are always seeking better, and nothing is perfect. But that doesn't change the fact that some places have a better functioning democracy, including the US. And you end up comparing when you're thinking about your future.
@@gopalarora9997 US is fully based on federal structure, India is not fully federal. And it must not be fully federal. if it was then Sardar patel might not be able integrate more than 550 princely stste.
@@DilipKumar-nn2ro that's great, but US isn't the epitomy of the western world. There are many other examples of more developed nations and I have no doubt that India will eventually join the club, but I don't want to have lived half my life waiting for that to happen, especially because I don't entertain any superficial notions of nationalism.
US has way more issues than you would imagine. We should compare ourselves with someone that is more developed. Gone are the days when people thought USA was perfect. Living in North America opens your eyes. I think some European countries offer much better examples.
The biggest problem with the democracy aspect is that we and our governments (center and state) think that elections are democracy.. We don't understand that everything that happens between two elections is the real democracy.....!!!
@@SuryadevaraRammurthyNaidu I respectfully disagree, When you elected someone for better economy and if they ends up crashing them over and over and Shrink it to nearly half, while unemployment gets all time high, inflation hits all time high & no serious debate or conversation on news media. No body will be able to smoothly divert election strategy to religion and get away with that.
@@Begonefromme I don't think you follow what happens outside of India much! The things you are mentioning happens everywhere and every country. We in India are just too smart for our own good, we just try and defame our own land!
@Shashank Sharma Nation building, Safety for women, Freedom and equality to do what younger generations specially women, minorities & LGBTQ wants to do in context of india, Not controlling peoples life, proper driving regulations, not banning things just cos they got popular, letting people do peacefully protest even if they are wrong, uniting nation, not controlling media & major industries, taking action against massive scale of corruption exists in India, Spending money to keep country clean not just speeches, not putting people in jail for statements they have given or jokes they have cracked, getting read of criminals in politics. I can literally go on and on & this applies to any GOVERNMENT n I m glad this FLUFFY statements are happening somewhere cos not happening in corrupt media
Some people who have commented about the lack of democracy are forgetting the way some particular people are made to take off their clothes or made to wait at the airport due to the suspicions. Forgetting that they themselves follow the American rules but in India the same people want to ignore the rules n then complain about democratic freedom. Racial differences are still there. All this doesn't seem to bother people because they are earning more. Yes the social freedom is less in India but that starts from everyone's home , country can not be criticised for that.
Yes i feel that democracy is really working well, there is freedom(some problems exist with gender equality which is due to social practices and not country _ infact laws are there to prevent those... but overall there is freedom of press, speech, expression etc) Even if there is not much money(we have to strugglein early years to become financially stable)... and i love India more than any other western country because of its *family values*... the divorce rates are low, there is bonding with parents and even distant relatives.The social structure here makes ppl more interconnected and though minor problem exist like jealousy among relatives, formalities, superstitions, .. when there is a big wrong going on ppl come together and stop it.. Some stupid babies who spoke to you ( the name which i dont like but i feel is correct here) are misleading, misinformed and negative.. in all countries politics with opposing parties have problems .. it is nothing specific to India On the whole i love my country with rich heritage and im very comfortable and happy here 😊😊😊.
Im sure that the money (social security in terms of edu, health come from money, infrastructure comes from money) is the major driving factor than .. democracy, social issues, politics bla bla bla
Managing a country with 1.3 billion people who has their own billions of problem is not an easy thing. Its easy for us to compare and say all shitty things. But never i have seen any Government that has pushed the country down. Their politics might differ. Whether you agree or not, India has grown multi fold and will grow. Why do you think every country is taking on India. They all know we have grown. Only we dont recognise it. No one uttered India in world stage few decades back. We were noone to developed nation. Now we are someone to them. We are on right track. Several things need to change, come lets change it by working towards it, not by shit talking our own country that fed you to talk like this. Whether it was thrown to you or taken by you or shared with you, it doesnt matter, this country provided it to you. May be our politicians are not that great, no countries politicians are thats the fact. We can either shit talk and be sad about it or we can change few thing in our own capacity with a smile on our face. Or the best option run away from this country. Selfless love toward your country is what is needed. Others anyway are not going to contribute anything. Let them better run away. We can manage our show. Probably Govt should charge a million dollar for those who are willing to leave this country after studying in Subsidized institutions like IIT and IIM.
Actually as a person in business, I am telling you, other than outsourcing, Nobody in the world is actually raving about India. Besides in world media the present India government is compared to Hitler style regime. Our only strength in present covid time is people, we can only export them. Manufacturing used to be our strength, with China's present stature, we are nothing, we will look old tech in front of them. Clothing was one of our strengths, not anymore, today Bangladesh is world leader. India has to renegotiate its foreign policies, strengthen in local industries, ease economic policies and make money available to its common people. Imagine if one rupee circulated via our banking channel per person per day it is 1.4 billion rupees per day. Which is great amount of money even if we convert it to Kuwait Dinar(most valuable currency in the world). Our politicians know they have so much money to play with. India has the resources, but it is managed by people who are not qualified for the job let alone read and write. Indian media is shit scared of the current central government, we have lost our freedom of speech in this country. The sense of Indian brotherhood/ sister hood is fading because the current government wants to rewrite 75 years of history. So Right now we are a confused bunch of people who cannot talk about being Indian without discussing religion or region. In reality this is a scary situation. This is how political instability began in countries like Sri Lanka, Syria, Afghanistan. I am not trying to over exaggerate, we should realize, there are other world countries gaining everytime you make fun of your next door neighbors who are dalits or south indians or muslim or from northeast. Our loss is their gain. And the rich and well educated and their generations wont suffer, because they can always migrate.
For me its the social inhibitions, political atmosphere, infrastructural inferiority, and the standard of living. Probably missed a couple more things. But yes, social and personal freedoms are more of a reason than democratic freedom.
Rick is completely off about the democracy part.US probably has a bigger problem there due to the 2 party system.But due to its prosperity and comfort of living most don’t realize it.It does not usually impact their day to day life.The problem with the situation in India is the concept of ‘success’.People in the 70s used to refuse green cards.When the education system in India changed in the early 1970s(for political reasons) it actually started closing the doors of information and appointment.Only people of certain ideology could live comfortably.We start seeing huge changes in government appointments,University appointments etc…The golden period of the Romila Thapars of India.It actually encouraged mediocrity under the guise of sophistication.Beautiful English,not much to say,except culturally negative opinions.For the rest,especially the non English educated bright but not rich middle and lower class it slowly became frustrating.Add to it the reservations of the Mandal commission of 1989 which was the breaking point.Most students in India today are products of the post 1970s curriculum.No wonder they are taught to blame Indian democracy.Social issues exist in every country,they are just expressed differently.As a non white woman,try working under an old white male in a non IT related profession in the US.Not much different.Today the reason youngsters want to move west is definitely cultural as well.The less they know about their own and the more they are exposed to the west via media platforms,the perceived glamour becomes attractive.It is not necessarily the brightest who want to leave anymore.It’s anyone who is attracted to a certain ‘lifestyle’.Maximum enjoyment with the least amount of work.Not to say they do not work at all but the work/fun ratio expected has changed massively.And this is not possible in India.The solution is actually not very difficult .Just make an internship /bond (2-5 yrs of national service depending on how subsidized your education was)for students graduating out every year.It’s only right.
@@1080lights Not sure if you are Indian,follow Indian politics or are familiar with state politics there.There are way more ideologically diverse parties in power .And Indian states are not sparsely populated or tiny either.You should check out the ballot to get an idea(even excluding the independents).Though not all can form a central government on their own,they can most definitely impact it's formation..Besides which I wasn't talking about who 'rules' the country but about how many viable ideologies (parties) are present in a country ,making it a more vibrant democracy. Its not the same 2 parties at Central and State level.So India is indeed different from the US.
Our democracy is fine.. They leave cause they want to make more money, period.. The rest is just propaganda.. I was an NRI for almost 20 years, and now I have lived in India for almost 8 years and while the style of life is different abroad, the rest is almost the same in India.. And dont someone reply about poor people, how many poor people can afford a flight ticket.. So the issue is with the upper middle class and their whining about India.
@@Sticklemako our country is corrupted. People are corrupted. There's not much to beat around the bush or put forth any arguments for this. We all know it! Be it poverty, the brain drain or any other suffering this country is going through is because of corruption. Why do people have to 'leave', leave their home and family and go elsewhere to seek money or whatever other things is the question here! It is as simple as that! The current one is the worst phase for this country to be called a democratic. Why fool around?
The point Rick raised about Indians leaving because of the socio-political climate is valid. As a culture we have certain traits that are not conducive to democracy. These will need to be worked on before we behave like a true democracy. The first place to begin I feel is to make it OK to question authority. Something that we are taught not to do since childhood.
Whatever u may tell , if dollar ,money value difference vanishes 99% will return back to india... india with so many different ppl together has more acceptance towards differences, better family values and good freedom of expression/press. Instead of lamenting over spilled milk.. if ppl here strengthen economy, all problems will be solved
@@sheebagr9702 Most of the IT Sector is dependent on this Dollar-Rupee difference If the difference reduces then most of services that are outsourced here would become unaffordable...
For every Indian who left, there are an equal number who have stayed and made this country good too. While i agree that we lose talent, i still think she focused on one side of the coin.
The few who left actually make more difference. There are so many billion dollar companies started by Indians (Juniper Zacaler Robinhood Bose Sun Microsystems etc etc I can keep on naming)… and the big ceo list.. I don’t think sundar pichai or satya would have had 5% of the success they have now… money plays a role, but the value and appreciation of skills in USA is attracting the talent
Well I am a student, I study Biotechnology and only such students can tell how difficult it is to explain to people what this course really means XD. In the US, as far as I know, it can offer a very high salary going up to 6 figures for senior professionals and here in India we boast of being the largest pharma producer in the world, yet what companies offer are a bare 10-20k rupees as fresher, may be doubling by retiring time. We are 50 years behind in it yet some of the most significant discoveries in this field have been made by Indians. Most of our college alumni are in UK, Canada or US. So what should we do under such circumstances? Settle for 25000 rupee job in an IT firm? Or move to US and be a millionaire? I love my India, may be I donot move out. But it cannot solve the problem. Modi government has planned on boosting biotech sector post covid, but it's still a 10 year process atleast...may be the plan gets successful.
@@kedarnath4777 Both are important. Justice and development. I don't see why you would single THAT out unless you have a particular hateful bias against it?
You might have the best oranges, but to churn out juice you need a juicer. Without a supporting infrastructure and environment to harness the talent, brain drain will continue. Can't blame a talented individual who goes abroad. It's better to make it big outside and let people take pride, instead of staying back and getting trapped in an unknown crowd of desk jobs. A talent wasted.
We shall get a juicer soon once economy goes to next level... Even in life, to get first property is difficult .. once we grow beyond sufficing basic needs level, growth will be easier, (first poverty should be eradicated, educational institutions numbers should grow... these will make life of lower and lower middle class better... these are happening.. once done threats removed, we shall focus easily on opportunities)
Reservations is one of the biggest contributing factor in brain drain..the one who should get reservations don't even know about it, whereas the people who are well off takes advantage of it. The general category people (some of whom would be not as well off as the reserved ones) are getting frustrated due to this system, but the political effect of it is so huge that no politician is interested in changing this system. Due to this people are forced to leave India in dismay for better opportunities in other countries.
So true... Toppers go out of the country for brighter prospects available to them by sheer talent, but the bulk of the people who jump the ship are the ones who have the resources to fly away but their hard work is not appreciated by our society because someone else needs the appreciation more due to historical reasons...
Are reservation there in private jobs? Its easy to say that resevations are a bane for society but the reality is that they are a necessary thing for millions of lower caste Indian who are under poverty from thousands of years!!
Nothing for general, basically nothing All seats reserved yet people are demanding more n more reservations, some states are giving 75% imagine! Yet no one listens to us
The attraction of going to US usually comes from watching in movies and sitcoms that one can easily live life in US irrespective of their academic achievements and people are free to do anything and changing their professions by their liking without getting judged... In India, you have to decide what you are going to do for the rest of your life when you are 15... If you don't get certain amount of education, living becomes hell... And if you change your profession by your liking or you don't have stability? Noone will marry you, society will point fingers, you will die of depression
Well said. That's another prime factor often overlooked but very much the foundation of search abroad. Again what is not being looked at is the *difficulty of leading a regular life abroad compared to native place* . Working in EU (but always Indian) , I can say from experience the dingy cell like roofs and rooms we live in to earn the living. Of course you may work for a reputed R&D but never rent your own apartment unless you can literally afford it. Compared to this back home in India in villages and towns we live in larger apartments and large independent ancestral homes...... This is like 5🌟 living in Bharat compared to the toilet life abroad that too in extreme climatic conditions. It's unfortunately a fact that has toll on health too.
Spot on!! What Indians don't realise is that they are not just watching those movies and tv series for free by downloading it they are infact transferring a huge amount of money in the form of fees to other countries even if 1 in 1000 gets influenced by those movies and move abroad INDIANS WILL ALWAYS BE INDIANS no matter how much you adore watching friends or breaking bad You will never be one of them and stop trying to pretend to become like one of them. This goes especially for those Kpop and anime fans too.

I'm probably one of the biggest anime fan out there, do I wanna go to Japan? Of course I do. I am a human and earth is my planet before India is my country (I'm sorry if I have lesser patriotism for India than for Earth) and I want to have the freedom of living wherever on earth I want whomever with I want.
@@ashaygomashe4253 I get what you are saying One can go to any country they like obviously, even I'm a fan of tv series and anime, but over obsession of them to the point where people eat sleep dream about settling in other countries which is based on the foundation of physiological play of false hope of better life which is not entirely true and people believing and behaving as a coconut(brown on the outside and white from inside ) but in reality they are chickoo (brown inside out ) with a white mold of obsession over what they are not leaves them disappointed and unsatisfied I'm fine with whatever people want but seeing people having obsession over white skin and continuously seek for validation from people of west is what disappoints me It's as if some of us are still not able get over them and there opinion. There is a reason why foreigners reaction channels are successful almost every time but you won't find an indian reaction channel to foreigner because they don't seek validation Just my opinion. Nothing personal

Talent is not valued here. A politician illeterate Son's unemployed friends holds more more than an IIT-IIM Graduate. If you slightly go out of metro city, you will find your degrees and qualifications is useless.
To be very Frank, most of the people leave for "Money". When they go over there, they see the lifestyle and get accustomed of the facilities over there. They know they won't get all these things (lifestyle+money) here, so they don't want to return.
While almost all the reasons are true in some degree some missed ones are reservations (affirmative action), the post independent socialist Anti Rich mindset still prevalent and endorsed by vested interests. Wealth creators are looked upon as villains (like in a lot of bollywood movies). The "democracy" thing is an entirely Ideological opinion based on one's Ideology which has Little to no impact on decision to leave. For instance you can find a large chunk of NRI and Ind-American community sharing the Ideological opinion (in Indian context) which others can call "undemocratic". So that is individual thing. Also, it is not entirely harmful to some extent, it increases our soft power, potential for huge capital influx for example many Indo-Americans have donated to their Alma Mater in India in millions of dollars, many fund our start-ups here in Bangalore, many run social service etc. The issue is yes they get hugely subsidised education in premiere institutions, as in India public institutions are in the best in class. But we can consider that as investment on our HR that pays dividend in various ways years later. Not saying it should not be addressed,but emigration is not necessarily a bad thing just like immigration isn't. The mentioned problems are in any case problem for Indians who don't leave, good infrastructure, opportunities, improvement in gender equality, social security, some existing social-political problems etc need addressing and hopefully they are being looked at
India isn't a bad place to live...if you already have money. But if you are in the middle or lower middle class, your problems grow exponentially and life can become difficult. That's why the concept of "American dream" came along back in the 20th century. Aspiring middle class Indians would move to the United States of America and try to become successful. If they succeeded, great. But even if they failed, middle class life in USA wasn't that bad.

We are socialist since 1947. Simple solution is capitalism. It rewards the values better and india is still quite socialist . And we will never be like the usa coz majority ppl here want free stuff and reservations and no party is truly right wing economically. Also too much population density and that leads to more pollution and cheap labour force in india. Thats y wages are low.
Yes it is. But at the same time our democracy is not benefitting us in any way. We are not likely to give even basic facilities to the BPLs even after 70 yrs of independence. Democracy is functional, it is giving every India what the majority deserve-nothing more nothing less
@@alinachrist8416 Democracy as an idea is wonderful but quality of its implementation varies over time. Although slows the process of development but for handling 140cr people with highly divers country we can't go for any other Model of government than Democracy. But proper education and making aware of people's rights as well as their duties is much necessary. And we can't compare American democracy with Indian considering colonial history, area, population, resources etc.. We have come a long way in 75 years and I'm very hopeful that we will only go in right direction but pace of it remains challenging
Rick must be getting his views about Indian democracy from Bengalis... without being born in India one can't understand the scope and grandeur of India culture and diversity, Bengal has been ruled from past 5 decades by communists and far left...no wonder the people are hopeless.
The main problem in India is caste based reservations. Skilled and talented people are not getting jobs in government sector . That's the reason people who have merit are preferring to work in private companies and in foreign nations like America, Europe, Australia and gulf nations. If government want to develop the quality and standard of government sector they must remove caste reservations permanently in india . That's the only way to improve the condition of government sector and also that's the only way to stop the brain drain . TALENT DESERVES OPPORTUNITIES NOT RESERVATIONS.
It might have been the case some years ago. Now there are quite a number if Indians returning as they find India is slowly becoming a better place to live especially for their children - to grow up in.
How is it that in all these Indian brain drain videos the prime focus is on USA and H1B? When actually, skilled labor has been leaving Indian shores from the 70s in huge numbers! India has provided, engineers, nurses, construction labor, lab technicians, English professors and several other types of skilled labor to Middle East, Europe, Australia and even South East Asian countries in multitudes. Somehow I feel several content creators conveniently marginalize the migration to USA in order to make their brain drain argument more potent. The reasons and impact being stated maybe correct but the repeated use of H1B as a vehicle to communicate those points just seems exploitative and coming from lazy research.
What rick said was true in the past, but things are changing right now. The current government is working hard in changing this situation by promoting FDI, New Education Policy which emphasis on entrepreneurial skills, and many more. Also people in India who preaches to government for jobs doesn't understand that they doesn't have enough skills to be employable they just go on with a rant of unemployment without understanding the lack on skills from their end.
if the middleclass salaries increase drastically, so will the brain drain decrease. not enough opportunities for people who want to have a easy and high paying career in India. it's also quite challenging for small enterprises and startups. helping startups as angel investors are the only way gor current NRIs to effectively contribute to solve yhis issue.
@@protapsen1910 no business can increase product price drastically. but in a 5 year period, if the product prices increases by say 20-30%, salaries should also rise by say 25-35%. in india somehow the salaries aren't increasing in that rate. it's easy to blame population and education. but the median salary for the educated are also not increasing in this rate, whereas in countries where education is of higher cost, the salaries still show 50-70% growth in this time frame. In india it's only the IT sector that is growing tbh.
@@protapsen1910 inflation control of course is a government responsibility by policy. As long as the value of INR decreases against say the US dollar, it would attract more brain drain. it would be hence wrong to point fingers at NRIs , true. But for people who would rather dissasociate themselves from India and become citizens of other country, the issue is not just value of Indian rupee. there are many social factors affecting. how roch or poor one is, they would prefer to find a place that is safe, happy, healthy, respectful etc for themselves and their children. it's human nature. blaming them is also not going to solve the issue, is what i mean.
One thing that it is very hard for a brilliant, prodigy to get fame, money, respect, and more in India than in America. see it like there are many more stages for a person to pass inorder to have that respect, money, fame what he/she can in USA. Simply put success ladder in India is longer, harder to climb as compared to USA. Very hard. And the decision is very easy to leave. A lot lot More than USA making good offer for immigrants, it is the Indian subcontinent which made it worse(as they think and know) for the people here to stay. So it was Indian subcontinent which kind of promoted this brain drain a lot more than USA or other popular destination.
As a married woman who has moved out of India for work in Europe, here’s what I have realised: 1. I am happy to be away from nose poking and prying interference of the relatives and Indian society in my personal life. My mind is so much at peace now! 2. Of course the money I earn is way more than what I was getting back in India. 3. The tax I pay, I see the results in form of various public infrastructure, transport and services. I never saw that in India 4. Because of current political scenarios and reservation system I would not want my future generation to live in India. There is no fair play in India. 5. I feel so much safe to move around even at night. It is not necessary to practice the Indian culture in India. We can be Indian by heart anywhere in the world.
Indian democracy is in a good place, it's not like we are a country settled by immigrants 200-300yrs ago and 10 senior citizens can get together and write a constitution declare it's a democracy and bam we are a democracy... Democracy has to evolve navigating through historical, cultural, regional, individual vs societal and security grievances... It takes time... We are not less democratic than we were 10yrs ago or 20 yrs ago... That's the gauge we need move with...
Democracy is not a problem frankly. Actually India has a too much democracy. Corruption is biggest issue. Another issue is India is a developing country. If country is developed then democracy or autocracy does not matter like chiana or Russia. Now things are changing fast. By 2030 India may become middle Income country and to an extent semi developed country with many urban cities and lot of talent will improve India
That ...... is the literal foundation of ruin for any nation, ours technically. If you are not allowed to grow how can growth happen ? It's mainly the respective state Govts. in cahoots with corrupt officials reason of a nation's ruin. As per Dharmashastra : *Only that Raja is benefited whom have the 'coreect' critiques and not those who dance to the rhyme of the leader and keep him/her happy to suit their selfish interests* ...... Such ministers are literally punishable for treason and barred for life. With anarchists Govts. like in Kerala , WB etc. what can one expect to do ?
The biggest reason people having colonial mindset. In school we are not thought of our rich history as everything was written by british and nothing was changed. I see people are ashamed of there own culture and view it inferior. Many believe that british raj was good for india. but things are changing now.
Nah, I love my rich culture. But that doesn't matter as much because the present isn't as pretty. There's just too many reasons to choose a more developed nation over a developing one when thinking about my future.

The main problem is sometimes overly complex methodology be in govt department , medical, law or education. In addition, they have poor infrastructure. Being strong in IT they can easily overcome these issues, but rather live by the complex ways. On the flip side, it does make life in India interesting, but be prepared for a bumpy ride.

Agree with Rick's last point! Big thanks to you guys and others who are introducing Indians and the world to their lost heritage via youtube! A big factor of brain drain in my opinion is the low confidence and no sense of pride in our own heritage.. Even if we read things, we don't understand them deep enough or with an open mind and are too self critical of our own history.. We need to revive that lost Indian Excellence somehow, and you guys are doing a great job at that.. Thank you.
Reservations was the key factor back in 90s and 2000s when the issue worsened and government jobs declined due to economic reforms. Now its a trend. People who are getting reservations should be made compulsory to stay in India atleast 10 years after.
My brother is an IITian and a US citizen for the last 20 odd years he went the course cos honesty his Stellar mathematical and programming skills just had America as a destination
The answer to all those questions and to make people want to stay back in India depends on the history and awakening of the ancient powerhouses! The way South Indians like Tamil and Telugu people take pride in their culture seems to inspire other areas within the country in the recent past. I am hopeful one day every Indian kind is as passionate about their culture as the Telugus are!
I really admire Telugus for their love and passion for their culture but it has not stopped them from leaving India, read about Telugu diaspora. They may be still connected to their cultures but it doesn't solve the problem
The problem hardly lies in being proud of our culture. The problem is the opportunity to earn fair wages, labour laws, standard of living and frustration with corruption in government. The problem also lies in people blaming migrating Indians for simply not being proud of their culture rather than identifying the real problems that convince them that life outside would be better.
I migrated to Canada 2 years ago for studies. Never wanted to leave India but had to because of a very personal reason. I'm gay and I knew the society would never accept me there.. Still haven't told my family about my sexual orientation yet.
I was born in India in 1994. I love India, but the corruption, caste system, politics, and the lack of opportunities just makes me not want to go back to my birthplace. Honestly it seems to be getting worse every year and it starts from the top, the movies Swedas has truth to it.😕😢
Believe me caste corruption and other things are the least to worry about when your whole social strata is messed up.. But i believe in my country... I would rather take a bullet than ever give up on my motherland... Quitting was never the solution for me... This country gave me enough... And it's my responsibility and duty to return it to her with full interests
Corruption, Racial and Ethnic Discrimination and Politics all prevail in the West especially in the US. The only thing for the reason of Brain Drain is just Money. People in India are fed up of all these Scams, Corruption, Caste Discrimination but when the same thing happens in West it doesn't bother them coz they have their Pockets filled with Dollars/Euro/Pound. All these problem can only be solved when we fight against it rather than running or crying foul. Ask not what your country can do for you - Ask what you can do for your Country- JF KENNEDY.
@@riteshsingh6624 yup... Humans are bloody hypocrites... That's why.. Money matters.. And when you know you got those white washed dollars in your pocket... Why worry about which country you belong to
@@riteshsingh6624 Moreover illogically comparing west with India is what pisses me off.. Population, diversity, complex issues and resource crunch and different histories and what no
Its very convenient for people who are leaving India to say India does not have democracy,why they didn't stayed back and helped India in achieving that. And does democracy should have same definition in every part of the world. America does not face same challenges what India does,we have come a long way from where we were and we will continue to do so despite these people leaving their motherland...🤨
I'm planning on moving out and these are the reasons 1) India - Yeah, living in India becomes more difficult with each passing day through the political tensions, religious influence and pressure from family and traditions. It's suffocating us and most Indians feels the same way. 2) Finances - Just like she said, Indians don't get the financial support in India when compared to the US, Canada, UK or Australia. 3) Personal preference - Our culture through experiencing western media, diving into the habits and life of people from the west have left an good impression when compared to what they are currently living in so the idea of moving out and experiencing a new environment is tempting. 4) A fresh start - who doesn't like a fresh start.
thats the most dumbest reasons i have heard from someone...political tensions?? what sort of reason is that ..usa uk is one of the most politically unstable countries at the moment...religious and racial discrimination are on a rise in western countries woth ppl from different countries settling abroad threatning jobs and demography of the host country ppl finances ..which financial support are u talking about ..usa is one of the costliest destination to study same for europe unless you are there citizen...india has tons loads of subsidy from primary level to higher level go check how much india spends on subsidy ...a capitalistic country is providing you financial support is the dumbest reason perosnal prefernce ..is ur personal opinion ...you are influenced by western culture ....i dont feel suffocated in my culture ...i enjoy it theonly reason is money , discrimination through reservation agaonst general category , higher networking , ease of living etc.

I kinda agree with Rick when he said about how India is a democracy but doesn't act like one. The biggest issue of India is lack of transparency & corruption, which is so institutionalized that its become a new normal in Indian democracy & it has turned into "CHALTA HAI"(its ok) attitude. If that's your attitude, how can you expect change? No government that comes to power takes firm actions against corrupts. Corruption is such a pandemic in India that once a former Prime Minister once said that ...out of every Rupee (dollar) thats allocated for public work, only 20 paise(cents) reaches its intended purpose. That's 80% of money swindled..all of which is used up by politicians & bureaucrats. Most of who I have spoken too gave this as the major reason for them leaving India for good.

I love my country, and I am proud of the history and heritage, but I am not proud of the culture. Indian society is relatively more conservative and I'm more on the liberal side. Maybe I'll turn conservative as I grow older but as a youth I believe in absolute personal freedom. You don't get that in India because we are tethered in joint and extended families, even caste and other such communities, which dictate the limits to our lifestyle. It comes to a point where you feel suffocated by your own parents too. Not to mention the sexual repression until marriage. The west is tempting because it means more freedom for something as simple as daring to love a girl from another religion or live a single life. India never got to socially evolve despite the efforts of our social reformers, and the political clusterfuck has only made matters worse. Moral degradation is real in India and I feel it too. If Indians were not struggling financially, most of us, including me, would leave, because that's practically the right thing to do.

Education is the key of all problems, in feature when we have more than 70 % educated people(who have at list degree) that time will definitely change our country. so just wait for next 30 years you see there is huge difference come.
The reason for an Indian to go abroad is not because their homeland is a hell. It is because of their homeland is a prison. When a foreigner talks to an Indian, he/she will tell their greatest right in that country, 'freedom'. But this is not the freedom to live, it is a freedom to suffer from an Indian life. We Indians became a part of the world after our independence struggle in the 1950s. And we are going towards a 2050s where everyone struggles for their individual freedom to live in their own country. There are a million factors for an Indian to leave India. But Indians who left India not possibly cares about their homeland. Because they know that if they cares their nation, it won't help the primary migrating country like India to recover from its pathetic situation. From family to government, everyone focuses on their own goal. Youngsters in India are more getting tested in their life than their education. Youngsters in India came to an Era where everyone around them eating their efforts and skills. I am proud to be an Indian. And I love my country. Even everyone who's leaving Indian citizenship not possibly cares but always miss their birth place. But every Indian dreams a better life and that makes them to leave their nation.
Startup culture is growing now in india and india have 3 most startups in world after usa and china . I hope we will succeed in future and India will make trillion dollars companies. Like usa and china .
It is okay. We wish well for those who contribute to other countries as well. Life goes in circles.

India has a lot of catching up to do guys...India was probably the richest in culture and science ...and you may find as time changes every thing changes now it is western world's time to shine The main thing fo India to hold it is own values like yoga , ayrveda , family system ....lot of people in west live depressed due to lack of family....so wherever you live heart to heart connection is very Indian thing we need to preserve that in materialistic world...So India "Bharat" was great we need to make great again keeping emotional and empathy intact.....
I was working in south india for an automobile company. got fed up with working culture and caste system encouraged within company. did master's in europe and started working here. common reasons for many of them who moved out.
New teachers in Indian colleges are paid Rs.200/hr i.e $2.68/hr. It is a shameful wage for someone who has a Masters Degree. This salary continues until the teacher gains the "permanent" status, which can need upto 2 years of service. How is one expected to survive at such low wages? No wonder, skilled labour is migrating.
I think it is a bad thing and somewhere a good thing that so many Indians went abroad and still do. Their behavior and work abroad has helped to shape the opinions of people in those countries towards how educated and productive India and Indians can be. I personally feel this has helped improve India's image in the global arena in a small way. I feel money is the primary motivating factor for the brain drain. The Indian government or even the private sector simply can't afford to match the kind of pay that first world countries can give for similar type of work. In case of work based on research skills like biochemistry, genetic engineering, etc. we are yet to provide the skilled work force the needed infrastructure to the level that can be provided in the first world countries. Personally I feel if and when India does grow economically due to increased manufacturing processes here, and invests that money earned into developing those kinds of infrastructures, those productive people might return when they can still contribute to the economy and not just when they get old to live out their last days in the motherland. All of my school and college friends are presently either in the USA or Aus or France. I deliberately chose a field where I wanted to work for my people. So I chose to forego the money although I'm a middle class person in India. Maybe slowly more Indians would want to stay back for the motherland. The government needs to do a lot more than just vote bank politics to stop this brain drain
I am a doctor by profession who works double the capacity than recommebded and yet earn very very meagre compared to my counterparts in us uk etc i can tolerate that but cant tolerate the stinking system here where everday doctors are attacked....and indian public respects babas and quacks than skillful doctors ....i would love to move to us preparing for my usmle exam to move to us
Rick.. We are so privileged to be born in a culture where we consider whole world as family..yes we have issues like colonial mindset , poverty etc bt still our culture teaches us to be patient and satisfied with whatever we have got....
I think a lot of Indian immigrants are successful because their culture puts a high value on status and comparing yourselves to others. I’ve also noticed their parents seem to ingrain very low self worth which is a good motivator. It is very comfortable and easy to live in America in general. Also parents here don’t pressure and control their children into being highly competitive workaholics.
I am part of this brain drain. My reasons was better education, more money and a better research culture in STEM. I would have gotten around $30K per year in India. In US, I get around $180K. Once you move, your world gets set up and its hard to come back unless they are forced. India is improving a lot but there is a long way to go. Maybe one day I will return to India. No one wants live outside if you have similar standard of living back home.
Rick brother,Indian democracy is safe 🙏🏼❤️ But you can say it bcoz you have political left leaning ideology so I can understand where you are coming from 🙏🏼
Rick they haven’t lived here in U.S. to make the statement and as the old adage goes Grass is always greener on the other side. Really!🙄 As you get older it’s better to live in India for quality of life vis a vis U.S. any day.
I can't talk about Engineers and Doctors but as far as Entrepreneur's are Concerned the simplest way to answer the question is "Ease of Doing Business" and "Taxes"...India's biggest Barriers are caused by plain and simple "Bureaucrats"... also Emerging economies like India levies Corporate Taxes like a Developed Country...A country thrives when homegrown businesses thrives...Rich Indians can afford to live anywhere in the world obviously they will go to places where they are treated best and not demonised
I feel these are the reasons for this problem. For good paying government jobs and education Indians heavily rely on reservation. No body will talk but 21st century middle class General students take their birth in higher caste as curse. I think they are over doing reservations. 2. Gender equality. Being a female I came across so much sexism in work place. 3. Infrastructure. In any field, the world is just fast forward 10yrs. 4. Finally love towards settling down theirs and their kin with good opportunities. No hard feelings but I myself saw these changes . This is completely my personal perspective.
India's 60% population is Below poverty line. How can you expect them to improve their social status. Dont F around that reservation is irrelevent.Same goes with female reservation. How many females are there in a classroom compared to boys. Ask those who put these ideas in your head.Focus on scoring rather than criticising others.
You need to understand one thing you've been practicing the fair practice of democracy for over 200+ years and India is 75 year old democracy which will take its own time like US took you can't just assume US started with and flown fair democracy from the first day but I totally understand her worries and how she presented the facts and it's right in some way but india have 65% young population right now which mostly is better educated then our previous generation people and India is improving it's Capacity Economically as the Market in India is devloping so it will get better in my opinion .
number one answer is because of political problems. it's not important to be skilled and eligible in india but you should have political influence to get good jobs in india. that's ugly truth
Its disturbing when you see this stats. But i am grateful to god that startup culture is growing in india and our govt is doing every possible things to support them and we have great industrialists who are being angel investor investing in potential startups!
No doubt startups culture is growing but how well the govt supports these start ups by tax benefits is equally important. Education is the most important factor for the growth but caste based reservations and politics to support these reservations have led this brain drain. It creates a huge impact and a big question mark on tax payers who don't even get basic facilities for the hard earned money paid us tax. Also indirect tax paid is not even counted for the salaried class.
Also imagine a distinction passed out student doesn't get admission in a good college just bcz of a quota which made a 50% marks student get the admission. In the end you find such individual working for a govt entity (that too under reservations) and spend his or her life peacefully. And this goes on generations. No value addition to the country.
Sad state. This is the reason Most of friends have migrated to developed countries.
Such an honour to hear this from Elon Musk himself
oh please our govt is a joke. Only 10% people have taxable income and govt would spend it on building statues rather than development. And if you believe it's to attract tourists then you are a bhakt.
Good in readings.
But it's also true that more and more Indian startups r moving there licensing to countries like Singapore and UAE but do business in India because of India's bureaucracy and corruption.
Our education system does only a good job of acting as a filter, it doesn't teach anything about how to function as a human.
Democracies in any country can't be compared with other countries. Even in US, there are people who thinks they dont enjoy democracy in their country. So, the grass on the other side is always greener.
There's always room for improvement. Human being are always seeking better, and nothing is perfect. But that doesn't change the fact that some places have a better functioning democracy, including the US. And you end up comparing when you're thinking about your future.

US has way more issues than you would imagine. We should compare ourselves with someone that is more developed. Gone are the days when people thought USA was perfect. Living in North America opens your eyes. I think some European countries offer much better examples.
Oh really.. then why the flow of brain drain is only on one side?

I can literally go on and on & this applies to any GOVERNMENT n I m glad this FLUFFY statements are happening somewhere cos not happening in corrupt media
Some people who have commented about the lack of democracy are forgetting the way some particular people are made to take off their clothes or made to wait at the airport due to the suspicions.
Forgetting that they themselves follow the American rules but in India the same people want to ignore the rules n then complain about democratic freedom.
Racial differences are still there. All this doesn't seem to bother people because they are earning more.
Yes the social freedom is less in India but that starts from everyone's home , country can not be criticised for that.
Yes i feel that democracy is really working well, there is freedom(some problems exist with gender equality which is due to social practices and not country _ infact laws are there to prevent those... but overall there is freedom of press, speech, expression etc)
Even if there is not much money(we have to strugglein early years to become financially stable)... and i love India more than any other western country because of its *family values*... the divorce rates are low, there is bonding with parents and even distant relatives.The social structure here makes ppl more interconnected and though minor problem exist like jealousy among relatives, formalities, superstitions, .. when there is a big wrong going on ppl come together and stop it..
Some stupid babies who spoke to you ( the name which i dont like but i feel is correct here) are misleading, misinformed and negative..
in all countries politics with opposing parties have problems .. it is nothing specific to India
On the whole i love my country with rich heritage and im very comfortable and happy here 😊😊😊.
Im sure that the money (social security in terms of edu, health come from money, infrastructure comes from money) is the major driving factor than .. democracy, social issues, politics bla bla bla
That's the whole point - *Bad-mouth one nation and bootlick the other* . A common symptom of colonial hangout fostering servitude and slavery.
Managing a country with 1.3 billion people who has their own billions of problem is not an easy thing. Its easy for us to compare and say all shitty things. But never i have seen any Government that has pushed the country down. Their politics might differ. Whether you agree or not, India has grown multi fold and will grow. Why do you think every country is taking on India. They all know we have grown. Only we dont recognise it.
No one uttered India in world stage few decades back. We were noone to developed nation. Now we are someone to them. We are on right track. Several things need to change, come lets change it by working towards it, not by shit talking our own country that fed you to talk like this. Whether it was thrown to you or taken by you or shared with you, it doesnt matter, this country provided it to you. May be our politicians are not that great, no countries politicians are thats the fact.
We can either shit talk and be sad about it or we can change few thing in our own capacity with a smile on our face. Or the best option run away from this country. Selfless love toward your country is what is needed. Others anyway are not going to contribute anything. Let them better run away. We can manage our show.

Well said sir
Agreed💯
Actually as a person in business, I am telling you, other than outsourcing, Nobody in the world is actually raving about India. Besides in world media the present India government is compared to Hitler style regime. Our only strength in present covid time is people, we can only export them. Manufacturing used to be our strength, with China's present stature, we are nothing, we will look old tech in front of them. Clothing was one of our strengths, not anymore, today Bangladesh is world leader. India has to renegotiate its foreign policies, strengthen in local industries, ease economic policies and make money available to its common people. Imagine if one rupee circulated via our banking channel per person per day it is 1.4 billion rupees per day. Which is great amount of money even if we convert it to Kuwait Dinar(most valuable currency in the world). Our politicians know they have so much money to play with. India has the resources, but it is managed by people who are not qualified for the job let alone read and write. Indian media is shit scared of the current central government, we have lost our freedom of speech in this country. The sense of Indian brotherhood/ sister hood is fading because the current government wants to rewrite 75 years of history. So Right now we are a confused bunch of people who cannot talk about being Indian without discussing religion or region. In reality this is a scary situation. This is how political instability began in countries like Sri Lanka, Syria, Afghanistan. I am not trying to over exaggerate, we should realize, there are other world countries gaining everytime you make fun of your next door neighbors who are dalits or south indians or muslim or from northeast. Our loss is their gain. And the rich and well educated and their generations wont suffer, because they can always migrate.
The problem is not democratic freedom, it is social and personal freedom.
Problem is money and lifestyle.

For me its the social inhibitions, political atmosphere, infrastructural inferiority, and the standard of living. Probably missed a couple more things. But yes, social and personal freedoms are more of a reason than democratic freedom.
@@schneider2332 can you give data on that claim ??
very much true
Rick is completely off about the democracy part.US probably has a bigger problem there due to the 2 party system.But due to its prosperity and comfort of living most don’t realize it.It does not usually impact their day to day life.The problem with the situation in India is the concept of ‘success’.People in the 70s used to refuse green cards.When the education system in India changed in the early 1970s(for political reasons) it actually started closing the doors of information and appointment.Only people of certain ideology could live comfortably.We start seeing huge changes in government appointments,University appointments etc…The golden period of the Romila Thapars of India.It actually encouraged mediocrity under the guise of sophistication.Beautiful English,not much to say,except culturally negative opinions.For the rest,especially the non English educated bright but not rich middle and lower class it slowly became frustrating.Add to it the reservations of the Mandal commission of 1989 which was the breaking point.Most students in India today are products of the post 1970s curriculum.No wonder they are taught to blame Indian democracy.Social issues exist in every country,they are just expressed differently.As a non white woman,try working under an old white male in a non IT related profession in the US.Not much different.Today the reason youngsters want to move west is definitely cultural as well.The less they know about their own and the more they are exposed to the west via media platforms,the perceived glamour becomes attractive.It is not necessarily the brightest who want to leave anymore.It’s anyone who is attracted to a certain ‘lifestyle’.Maximum enjoyment with the least amount of work.Not to say they do not work at all but the work/fun ratio expected has changed massively.And this is not possible in India.The solution is actually not very difficult .Just make an internship /bond (2-5 yrs of national service depending on how subsidized your education was)for students graduating out every year.It’s only right.
Most countries in the world are ruled by one of two major parties or coalitions, with only small interruptions in the pattern. India is no different.
@@1080lights Not sure if you are Indian,follow Indian politics or are familiar with state politics there.There are way more ideologically diverse parties in power .And Indian states are not sparsely populated or tiny either.You should check out the ballot to get an idea(even excluding the independents).Though not all can form a central government on their own,they can most definitely impact it's formation..Besides which I wasn't talking about who 'rules' the country but about how many viable ideologies (parties) are present in a country ,making it a more vibrant democracy. Its not the same 2 parties at Central and State level.So India is indeed different from the US.
Our democracy is fine.. They leave cause they want to make more money, period.. The rest is just propaganda.. I was an NRI for almost 20 years, and now I have lived in India for almost 8 years and while the style of life is different abroad, the rest is almost the same in India..

The point Rick raised about Indians leaving because of the socio-political climate is valid. As a culture we have certain traits that are not conducive to democracy.

We are 50 years behind in it yet some of the most significant discoveries in this field have been made by Indians.
Most of our college alumni are in UK, Canada or US. So what should we do under such circumstances? Settle for 25000 rupee job in an IT firm? Or move to US and be a millionaire?
I love my India, may be I donot move out. But it cannot solve the problem. Modi government has planned on boosting biotech sector post covid, but it's still a 10 year process atleast...may be the plan gets successful.

You might have the best oranges, but to churn out juice you need a juicer.
Without a supporting infrastructure and environment to harness the talent, brain drain will continue. Can't blame a talented individual who goes abroad.
It's better to make it big outside and let people take pride, instead of staying back and getting trapped in an unknown crowd of desk jobs. A talent wasted.
We shall get a juicer soon once economy goes to next level...
Even in life, to get first property is difficult .. once we grow beyond sufficing basic needs level, growth will be easier, (first poverty should be eradicated, educational institutions numbers should grow... these will make life of lower and lower middle class better... these are happening.. once done threats removed, we shall focus easily on opportunities)
I hope you leave india .. dont except oranges when you dont have capacity to grow them
I think people like you should leave india asap bcos of selfish people you india is not great
Reservations is one of the biggest contributing factor in brain drain..the one who should get reservations don't even know about it, whereas the people who are well off takes advantage of it. The general category people (some of whom would be not as well off as the reserved ones) are getting frustrated due to this system, but the political effect of it is so huge that no politician is interested in changing this system. Due to this people are forced to leave India in dismay for better opportunities in other countries.
So true... Toppers go out of the country for brighter prospects available to them by sheer talent, but the bulk of the people who jump the ship are the ones who have the resources to fly away but their hard work is not appreciated by our society because someone else needs the appreciation more due to historical reasons...
Are reservation there in private jobs? Its easy to say that resevations are a bane for society but the reality is that they are a necessary thing for millions of lower caste Indian who are under poverty from thousands of years!!
@@Karan-bp6it reservation was only meant for 10-15 years after independence but congress increased it indefinitely after Ambedkar's death
Trulyyy
Nothing for general, basically nothing
All seats reserved yet people are demanding more n more reservations, some states are giving 75% imagine!
Yet no one listens to us
The attraction of going to US usually comes from watching in movies and sitcoms that one can easily live life in US irrespective of their academic achievements and people are free to do anything and changing their professions by their liking without getting judged... In India, you have to decide what you are going to do for the rest of your life when you are 15... If you don't get certain amount of education, living becomes hell... And if you change your profession by your liking or you don't have stability? Noone will marry you, society will point fingers, you will die of depression
Well said. That's another prime factor often overlooked but very much the foundation of search abroad. Again what is not being looked at is the *difficulty of leading a regular life abroad compared to native place* . Working in EU (but always Indian) , I can say from experience the dingy cell like roofs and rooms we live in to earn the living. Of course you may work for a reputed R&D but never rent your own apartment unless you can literally afford it. Compared to this back home in India in villages and towns we live in larger apartments and large independent ancestral homes...... This is like 5🌟 living in Bharat compared to the toilet life abroad that too in extreme climatic conditions. It's unfortunately a fact that has toll on health too.
Spot on!!
What Indians don't realise is that they are not just watching those movies and tv series for free by downloading it they are infact transferring a huge amount of money in the form of fees to other countries even if 1 in 1000 gets influenced by those movies and move abroad

I'm probably one of the biggest anime fan out there, do I wanna go to Japan? Of course I do.

@@ashaygomashe4253 I get what you are saying
One can go to any country they like obviously, even I'm a fan of tv series and anime, but over obsession of them to the point where people eat sleep dream about settling in other countries which is based on the foundation of physiological play of false hope of better life which is not entirely true and people believing and behaving as a coconut(brown on the outside and white from inside ) but in reality they are chickoo (brown inside out ) with a white mold of obsession over what they are not leaves them disappointed and unsatisfied
I'm fine with whatever people want but seeing people having obsession over white skin and continuously seek for validation from people of west is what disappoints me
It's as if some of us are still not able get over them and there opinion.
There is a reason why foreigners reaction channels are successful almost every time but you won't find an indian reaction channel to foreigner because they don't seek validation
Just my opinion.
Nothing personal
@@funnyclips9775 yeah that validation point resonates hard man... That is true... But it will take time for people to change here, it's only natural... Every country goes through these stages I believe at one point or another
Do more of Palki Sharma’s reactions we love her.
Yes, but just understand that these guys are Americans and are not well informed of the World History. 🙏🏼!
Talent is not valued here. A politician illeterate Son's unemployed friends holds more more than an IIT-IIM Graduate. If you slightly go out of metro city, you will find your degrees and qualifications is useless.
To be very Frank, most of the people leave for "Money". When they go over there, they see the lifestyle and get accustomed of the facilities over there.
They know they won't get all these things (lifestyle+money) here, so they don't want to return.
While almost all the reasons are true in some degree some missed ones are reservations (affirmative action), the post independent socialist Anti Rich mindset still prevalent and endorsed by vested interests. Wealth creators are looked upon as villains (like in a lot of bollywood movies). The "democracy" thing is an entirely Ideological opinion based on one's Ideology which has Little to no impact on decision to leave. For instance you can find a large chunk of NRI and Ind-American community sharing the Ideological opinion (in Indian context) which others can call "undemocratic". So that is individual thing.
Also, it is not entirely harmful to some extent, it increases our soft power, potential for huge capital influx for example many Indo-Americans have donated to their Alma Mater in India in millions of dollars, many fund our start-ups here in Bangalore, many run social service etc. The issue is yes they get hugely subsidised education in premiere institutions, as in India public institutions are in the best in class. But we can consider that as investment on our HR that pays dividend in various ways years later.
Not saying it should not be addressed,but emigration is not necessarily a bad thing just like immigration isn't. The mentioned problems are in any case problem for Indians who don't leave, good infrastructure, opportunities, improvement in gender equality, social security, some existing social-political problems etc need addressing and hopefully they are being looked at
OMG So Right
True
India isn't a bad place to live...if you already have money. But if you are in the middle or lower middle class, your problems grow exponentially and life can become difficult. That's why the concept of "American dream" came along back in the 20th century. Aspiring middle class Indians would move to the United States of America and try to become successful. If they succeeded, great. But even if they failed, middle class life in USA wasn't that bad.
Yes i feel that democracy is really working well, there is freedom(some problems exist with gender equality which is due to social practices and not country _ infact laws are there to prevent those... but overall there is freedom of press, speech, expression etc)
Even if there is not much money(we have to strugglein early years to become financially stable)... and i love India more than any other western country because of its *family values*... the divorce rates are low, there is bonding with parents and even distant relatives.The social structure here makes ppl more interconnected and though minor problem exist like jealousy among relatives, formalities, superstitions, .. when there is a big wrong going on ppl come together and stop it..
Some stupid babies who spoke to you ( the name which i dont like but i feel is correct here) are misleading, misinformed and negative..
in all countries politics with opposing parties have problems .. it is nothing specific to India
On the whole i love my country with rich heritage and im very comfortable and happy here 😊😊😊.
We are socialist since 1947. Simple solution is capitalism. It rewards the values better and india is still quite socialist . And we will never be like the usa coz majority ppl here want free stuff and reservations and no party is truly right wing economically. Also too much population density and that leads to more pollution and cheap labour force in india. Thats y wages are low.
What exactly do u get for free from the government
Totally agree
That's shameful thing to say India is not a functioning democracy. Idk what kind of Indian will not feel offended by that. Utterly shameful.
Yes. Rather now we have an issue of "too much democracy without responsibility"
Yes it is. But at the same time our democracy is not benefitting us in any way. We are not likely to give even basic facilities to the BPLs even after 70 yrs of independence. Democracy is functional, it is giving every India what the majority deserve-nothing more nothing less
But its the truth.
@@alinachrist8416 Democracy as an idea is wonderful but quality of its implementation varies over time. Although slows the process of development but for handling 140cr people with highly divers country we can't go for any other Model of government than Democracy.

Please, don’t take to heart. These Americans don’t even know the name of their states and where it is located, so their opinions don’t make crap. 🙏🏼!
The main problem in India is caste based reservations. Skilled and talented people are not getting jobs in government sector . That's the reason people who have merit are preferring to work in private companies and in foreign nations like America, Europe, Australia and gulf nations. If government want to develop the quality and standard of government sector they must remove caste reservations permanently in india .
That's the only way to improve the condition of government sector and also that's the only way to stop the brain drain .
TALENT DESERVES OPPORTUNITIES NOT RESERVATIONS.
It might have been the case some years ago. Now there are quite a number if Indians returning as they find India is slowly becoming a better place to live especially for their children - to grow up in.
What? Where did you get that from? A record number of Indians gave up their citizenship last year.
Umm.. I hope so but I don't think so
lol no
I highly disagree with you. Clearly you are uninformed or misinformed about this matter.
Quite a number of Indian origin people are returning to India? Where did you get that info from?
How is it that in all these Indian brain drain videos the prime focus is on USA and H1B? When actually, skilled labor has been leaving Indian shores from the 70s in huge numbers! India has provided, engineers, nurses, construction labor, lab technicians, English professors and several other types of skilled labor to Middle East, Europe, Australia and even South East Asian countries in multitudes. Somehow I feel several content creators conveniently marginalize the migration to USA in order to make their brain drain argument more potent. The reasons and impact being stated maybe correct but the repeated use of H1B as a vehicle to communicate those points just seems exploitative and coming from lazy research.
What rick said was true in the past, but things are changing right now. The current government is working hard in changing this situation by promoting FDI, New Education Policy which emphasis on entrepreneurial skills, and many more. Also people in India who preaches to government for jobs doesn't understand that they doesn't have enough skills to be employable they just go on with a rant of unemployment without understanding the lack on skills from their end.
if the middleclass salaries increase drastically, so will the brain drain decrease. not enough opportunities for people who want to have a easy and high paying career in India. it's also quite challenging for small enterprises and startups. helping startups as angel investors are the only way gor current NRIs to effectively contribute to solve yhis issue.
Wait 7-6 years more. India will change.
AND THE PROBLEM IS THE BUYING POWER OF THE MONEY DECREASE DRASTICALLY!!!
@@protapsen1910 no business can increase product price drastically. but in a 5 year period, if the product prices increases by say 20-30%, salaries should also rise by say 25-35%. in india somehow the salaries aren't increasing in that rate. it's easy to blame population and education. but the median salary for the educated are also not increasing in this rate, whereas in countries where education is of higher cost, the salaries still show 50-70% growth in this time frame. In india it's only the IT sector that is growing tbh.
@@protapsen1910 inflation control of course is a government responsibility by policy. As long as the value of INR decreases against say the US dollar, it would attract more brain drain. it would be hence wrong to point fingers at NRIs , true. But for people who would rather dissasociate themselves from India and become citizens of other country, the issue is not just value of Indian rupee. there are many social factors affecting. how roch or poor one is, they would prefer to find a place that is safe, happy, healthy, respectful etc for themselves and their children. it's human nature. blaming them is also not going to solve the issue, is what i mean.
@@jijogorgeraj Maybe you didn't got my point. I'm not blaming anyone. Just telling what is happening.
One thing that it is very hard for a brilliant, prodigy to get fame, money, respect, and more in India than in America. see it like there are many more stages for a person to pass inorder to have that respect, money, fame what he/she can in USA. Simply put success ladder in India is longer, harder to climb as compared to USA. Very hard.
And the decision is very easy to leave. A lot lot More than USA making good offer for immigrants, it is the Indian subcontinent which made it worse(as they think and know) for the people here to stay. So it was Indian subcontinent which kind of promoted this brain drain a lot more than USA or other popular destination.
As a married woman who has moved out of India for work in Europe, here’s what I have realised:
1. I am happy to be away from nose poking and prying interference of the relatives and Indian society in my personal life. My mind is so much at peace now!
2. Of course the money I earn is way more than what I was getting back in India.
3. The tax I pay, I see the results in form of various public infrastructure, transport and services. I never saw that in India
4. Because of current political scenarios and reservation system I would not want my future generation to live in India.
There is no fair play in India.
5. I feel so much safe to move around even at night.

Indian democracy is in a good place, it's not like we are a country settled by immigrants 200-300yrs ago and 10 senior citizens can get together and write a constitution declare it's a democracy and bam we are a democracy...
Democracy has to evolve navigating through historical, cultural, regional, individual vs societal and security grievances... It takes time... We are not less democratic than we were 10yrs ago or 20 yrs ago... That's the gauge we need move with...
Democracy is not a problem frankly. Actually India has a too much democracy. Corruption is biggest issue. Another issue is India is a developing country.
If country is developed then democracy or autocracy does not matter like chiana or Russia. Now things are changing fast. By 2030 India may become middle Income country and to an extent semi developed country with many urban cities and lot of talent will improve India
Palki@OSR again. AMAZING!
I think one more point is the level of corruption in bureaucracy is astronomical
That ...... is the literal foundation of ruin for any nation, ours technically. If you are not allowed to grow how can growth happen ? It's mainly the respective state Govts. in cahoots with corrupt officials reason of a nation's ruin. As per Dharmashastra : *Only that Raja is benefited whom have the 'coreect' critiques and not those who dance to the rhyme of the leader and keep him/her happy to suit their selfish interests* ...... Such ministers are literally punishable for treason and barred for life. With anarchists Govts. like in Kerala , WB etc. what can one expect to do ?
The biggest reason people having colonial mindset. In school we are not thought of our rich history as everything was written by british and nothing was changed. I see people are ashamed of there own culture and view it inferior. Many believe that british raj was good for india. but things are changing now.

Agree with Rick's last point! Big thanks to you guys and others who are introducing Indians and the world to their lost heritage via youtube! A big factor of brain drain in my opinion is the low confidence and no sense of pride in our own heritage.. Even if we read things, we don't understand them deep enough or with an open mind and are too self critical of our own history.. We need to revive that lost Indian Excellence somehow, and you guys are doing a great job at that.. Thank you.
Reservations was the key factor back in 90s and 2000s when the issue worsened and government jobs declined due to economic reforms. Now its a trend. People who are getting reservations should be made compulsory to stay in India atleast 10 years after.
My brother is an IITian and a US citizen for the last 20 odd years he went the course cos honesty his Stellar mathematical and programming skills just had America as a destination
Yup ..In case drug everyone doing it with their family 👍😂... So deeply connected to their family..
The answer to all those questions and to make people want to stay back in India depends on the history and awakening of the ancient powerhouses!
The way South Indians like Tamil and Telugu people take pride in their culture seems to inspire other areas within the country in the recent past. I am hopeful one day every Indian kind is as passionate about their culture as the Telugus are!
I really admire Telugus for their love and passion for their culture but it has not stopped them from leaving India, read about Telugu diaspora. They may be still connected to their cultures but it doesn't solve the problem
The problem hardly lies in being proud of our culture. The problem is the opportunity to earn fair wages, labour laws, standard of living and frustration with corruption in government. The problem also lies in people blaming migrating Indians for simply not being proud of their culture rather than identifying the real problems that convince them that life outside would be better.
Then how are Telugus are the 2nd largest Indian ethnic diaspora in West and Tamils 4th?
I migrated to Canada 2 years ago for studies.
Never wanted to leave India but had to because of a very personal reason.

I'm planning on moving out and these are the reasons
1) India - Yeah, living in India becomes more difficult with each passing day through the political tensions, religious influence and pressure from family and traditions. It's suffocating us and most Indians feels the same way.
2) Finances - Just like she said, Indians don't get the financial support in India when compared to the US, Canada, UK or Australia.
3) Personal preference - Our culture through experiencing western media, diving into the habits and life of people from the west have left an good impression when compared to what they are currently living in so the idea of moving out and experiencing a new environment is tempting.
4) A fresh start - who doesn't like a fresh start.
thats the most dumbest reasons i have heard from someone...political tensions?? what sort of reason is that ..usa uk is one of the most politically unstable countries at the moment...religious and racial discrimination are on a rise in western countries woth ppl from different countries settling abroad threatning jobs and demography of the host country ppl
finances ..which financial support are u talking about ..usa is one of the costliest destination to study same for europe unless you are there citizen...india has tons loads of subsidy from primary level to higher level go check how much india spends on subsidy ...a capitalistic country is providing you financial support is the dumbest reason
perosnal prefernce ..is ur personal opinion ...you are influenced by western culture ....i dont feel suffocated in my culture ...i enjoy it
theonly reason is money , discrimination through reservation agaonst general category , higher networking , ease of living etc.

I kinda agree with Rick when he said about how India is a democracy but doesn't act like one. The biggest issue of India is lack of transparency & corruption, which is so institutionalized that its become a new normal in Indian democracy & it has turned into "CHALTA HAI"(its ok) attitude. If that's your attitude, how can you expect change? No government that comes to power takes firm actions against corrupts. Corruption is such a pandemic in India that once a former Prime Minister once said that ...out of every Rupee (dollar) thats allocated for public work, only 20 paise(cents) reaches its intended purpose. That's 80% of money swindled..all of which is used up by politicians & bureaucrats. Most of who I have spoken too gave this as the major reason for them leaving India for good.

I love my country, and I am proud of the history and heritage, but I am not proud of the culture. Indian society is relatively more conservative and I'm more on the liberal side. Maybe I'll turn conservative as I grow older but as a youth I believe in absolute personal freedom. You don't get that in India because we are tethered in joint and extended families, even caste and other such communities, which dictate the limits to our lifestyle. It comes to a point where you feel suffocated by your own parents too. Not to mention the sexual repression until marriage. The west is tempting because it means more freedom for something as simple as daring to love a girl from another religion or live a single life. India never got to socially evolve despite the efforts of our social reformers, and the political clusterfuck has only made matters worse. Moral degradation is real in India and I feel it too.
If Indians were not struggling financially, most of us, including me, would leave, because that's practically the right thing to do.
The Biggest Reason Is Anti Rich Mindset And Anti Capitalism One which no one talks about.
korbin yes she posted another peice of information video you asked in the last segment of your video:
you must checkout heritage of india something something..
2014 was the gateway of this trend. You know what else happened in 2014? Yeah, India elected a fascist government.
Bruh after 2014 60000 startup started but a fascist govt came 🤡🤡🤡
@@prathamtrivedi3411 And sold most of the Public Sector Units to Ambani's and Adani's.. What's your point? What's the use of these startups if it can't keep the talent in the country. Did you even see the numbers mentioned in that video, the trend has an exponential growth since Modi came to power. Not just because his economic decisions, but also because his administration based on hatred. Bhakths are always coming up with the most peculiar excuses.
India is far older than USA
Still India is a developing country while USA is a developed country
We were developed before colonial government.
I find this comparison is non sensical
USA got independence in 18th century we goth independence in 20th century so USA is 200 years older than india.
@@vinaykumar9002 😪😪😪
@@vinaykumar9002 exactly i agree with you, we started later and usa start from 250 years ago. we need some time at list 100 years because we have also big divers culture so, so many different types of problem comes together and its difficult to solve them in few years. Education is the key of all problems, in feature when we have more than 70 % educated people(who have at list degree) that time will definitely change our country. so just wait for next 30 years you see there is huge difference come.
It's a combination of factors.. Money, opportunities, work culture, equality, freedom, quality of life
The reason for an Indian to go abroad is not because their homeland is a hell. It is because of their homeland is a prison. When a foreigner talks to an Indian, he/she will tell their greatest right in that country, 'freedom'. But this is not the freedom to live, it is a freedom to suffer from an Indian life. We Indians became a part of the world after our independence struggle in the 1950s. And we are going towards a 2050s where everyone struggles for their individual freedom to live in their own country. There are a million factors for an Indian to leave India. But Indians who left India not possibly cares about their homeland. Because they know that if they cares their nation, it won't help the primary migrating country like India to recover from its pathetic situation. From family to government, everyone focuses on their own goal. Youngsters in India are more getting tested in their life than their education. Youngsters in India came to an Era where everyone around them eating their efforts and skills. I am proud to be an Indian. And I love my country. Even everyone who's leaving Indian citizenship not possibly cares but always miss their birth place. But every Indian dreams a better life and that makes them to leave their nation.
India is a mini world and mother of great cultures in the world 👍
Startup culture is growing now in india and india have 3 most startups in world after usa and china . I hope we will succeed in future and India will make trillion dollars companies. Like usa and china .
It is okay. We wish well for those who contribute to other countries as well. Life goes in circles. When we finally reach our true potential, we will be an ideal destination for the world citizens who have aspirations and dreams.
We have enough talent in India too and we are contributing well to our nation. We will continue to grow and excel
Jai Maa Bharati!
I will never leave india for sure .. love it too much to leave .. saw beard fellow was so proud talking of america ..
If people think they don't have decomcracy in India, then I pity them. Here, people can call our PM a "chor" and still get away with it. Women can go almost naked in national level television shows, reflects level freedom that we have.
13:42 yeah, that is the most part of that society security point. She didn't go into as time restraint.
It was not because of time but because of political structures.
@@arjunmalhotra4814 it is because of time constraint. One cannot talk about a topic so big in few minutes. What one can do is try to just name the point. And that's what she did.

Please start giving original video links in the description
"The Caste system and the reservation system is a British imposition"
kya ukhaad leta tu agar reservation naa hoti
Why was the video silent about reservation which is essentially the biggest reason for brain drain. Why there are so many indian doctors abroad...
We are conservative in our genes. That's us. We could change to adopt the western perspective of democracy as much as the west would love to adopt our practices. Our democracy is different.
Say that to the authors of "Kamasutra".
India has a lot of catching up to do guys...India was probably the richest in culture and science ...and you may find as time changes every thing changes now it is western world's time to shine
The main thing fo India to hold it is own values like yoga , ayrveda , family system ....lot of people in west live depressed due to lack of family....so wherever you live heart to heart connection is very Indian thing we need to preserve that in materialistic world...So India "Bharat" was great we need to make great again keeping emotional and empathy intact.....
In vast majority of the cases - its all about the $$$ nothing else - everything else is excuses to convince oneself and others around......
I meant justify ones decision....
Or maybe you're trying to convince yourself that the only thing India can't provide is money... There's so many other reasons....
Modern India is just 75 years old country. We have solved lot of problems already and I am sure we will rectify allow our other issue in coming times
10:05 somebody make memes of ricks face.
The transition was rapid
Gravitas plus Palki sharma is amazing 💖🤘👏👏
I was working in south india for an automobile company. got fed up with working culture and caste system encouraged within company. did master's in europe and started working here. common reasons for many of them who moved out.
New teachers in Indian colleges are paid Rs.200/hr i.e $2.68/hr. It is a shameful wage for someone who has a Masters Degree. This salary continues until the teacher gains the "permanent" status, which can need upto 2 years of service. How is one expected to survive at such low wages? No wonder, skilled labour is migrating.
I think it is a bad thing and somewhere a good thing that so many Indians went abroad and still do. Their behavior and work abroad has helped to shape the opinions of people in those countries towards how educated and productive India and Indians can be. I personally feel this has helped improve India's image in the global arena in a small way. I feel money is the primary motivating factor for the brain drain. The Indian government or even the private sector simply can't afford to match the kind of pay that first world countries can give for similar type of work. In case of work based on research skills like biochemistry, genetic engineering, etc. we are yet to provide the skilled work force the needed infrastructure to the level that can be provided in the first world countries. Personally I feel if and when India does grow economically due to increased manufacturing processes here, and invests that money earned into developing those kinds of infrastructures, those productive people might return when they can still contribute to the economy and not just when they get old to live out their last days in the motherland. All of my school and college friends are presently either in the USA or Aus or France. I deliberately chose a field where I wanted to work for my people. So I chose to forego the money although I'm a middle class person in India. Maybe slowly more Indians would want to stay back for the motherland. The government needs to do a lot more than just vote bank politics to stop this brain drain
Hats off to wion content and editorial team.. Astoundingly consistent great work
I am a doctor by profession who works double the capacity than recommebded and yet earn very very meagre compared to my counterparts in us uk etc i can tolerate that but cant tolerate the stinking system here where everday doctors are attacked....and indian public respects babas and quacks than skillful doctors ....i would love to move to us preparing for my usmle exam to move to us
Rick.. We are so privileged to be born in a culture where we consider whole world as family..yes we have issues like colonial mindset , poverty etc bt still our culture teaches us to be patient and satisfied with whatever we have got....
I think a lot of Indian immigrants are successful because their culture puts a high value on status and comparing yourselves to others. I’ve also noticed their parents seem to ingrain very low self worth which is a good motivator. It is very comfortable and easy to live in America in general. Also parents here don’t pressure and control their children into being highly competitive workaholics.
Loved your reaction guys and extra loved Rick's t-shirt.
Lata ji passed away, sabhi unki aatma ki shanti ki prathna kare
India is not just a country. India is a culture. Its an identity. It’s an ethos. India is an experiment. It’s an idea.
Hey it’s ok American has also imported IDOT Drain from India. Count me in that list as well.
I am part of this brain drain. My reasons was better education, more money and a better research culture in STEM. I would have gotten around $30K per year in India. In US, I get around $180K. Once you move, your world gets set up and its hard to come back unless they are forced. India is improving a lot but there is a long way to go. Maybe one day I will return to India. No one wants live outside if you have similar standard of living back home.
Rick brother,Indian democracy is safe 🙏🏼❤️
But you can say it bcoz you have political left leaning ideology so I can understand where you are coming from 🙏🏼
I recieve Startup india mails from govt daily😆😆🤣
Rick they haven’t lived here in U.S. to make the statement and as the old adage goes Grass is always greener on the other side. Really!🙄 As you get older it’s better to live in India for quality of life vis a vis U.S. any day.
I can't talk about Engineers and Doctors but as far as Entrepreneur's are Concerned the simplest way to answer the question is "Ease of Doing Business" and "Taxes"...India's biggest Barriers are caused by plain and simple "Bureaucrats"... also Emerging economies like India levies Corporate Taxes like a Developed Country...A country thrives when homegrown businesses thrives...Rich Indians can afford to live anywhere in the world obviously they will go to places where they are treated best and not demonised
It’s not brain drain but transfer of truth
I feel these are the reasons for this problem.
For good paying government jobs and education Indians heavily rely on reservation. No body will talk but 21st century middle class General students take their birth in higher caste as curse. I think they are over doing reservations.
2. Gender equality. Being a female I came across so much sexism in work place.
3. Infrastructure. In any field, the world is just fast forward 10yrs.
4. Finally love towards settling down theirs and their kin with good opportunities.
No hard feelings but I myself saw these changes . This is completely my personal perspective.
India's 60% population is Below poverty line. How can you expect them to improve their social status. Dont F around that reservation is irrelevent.Same goes with female reservation. How many females are there in a classroom compared to boys. Ask those who put these ideas in your head.Focus on scoring rather than criticising others.
You need to understand one thing you've been practicing the fair practice of democracy for over 200+ years and India is 75 year old democracy which will take its own time like US took you can't just assume US started with and flown fair democracy from the first day but I totally understand her worries and how she presented the facts and it's right in some way but india have 65% young population right now which mostly is better educated then our previous generation people and India is improving it's Capacity Economically as the Market in India is devloping so it will get better in my opinion .
Arvind Kejriwal addressed that issue and talked about reversing the Punjab-Canada trend
Haa vaii delhi London ban gayi 🤡
number one answer is because of political problems. it's not important to be skilled and eligible in india but you should have political influence to get good jobs in india. that's ugly truth
