There is one saying in my mother tongue Marathi, "Sutavarun Swargala Jaane" which literally means thinking of climbing up to heaven from the clue of single thread falling from above (or something like that). It actually means that concluding from very small clue.
I am talking about this because read the article in Times of India titled 'Now, brain drain from UK to India'. click the "link here" to read the article.
Well, of course the Indian economy is growing at least three times more than UK economy and there are multiple attractive options available. I would myself won't mind working in India for a decent job. However this article considers a single event from a 0.1% students of just one university and tries to draw a conclusion about the two countries. This is immaturity of media. It is the example of confirmation bias where you just seek for the evidence of what you already have in mind and ignore the clues directing at a rather opposite direction. The Indian media just seek a confirmation to show off the so called buoyant economy and thinks that the problems like brain drain will be solved magically by sheer growth of the economy. To stop the brain drain, we have to improve upon many things like infrastructure, corruption, red-tape and many more.
On the other hand, unlike mentioned in the comments of this article, many people including Deepti are genuinely interested in working in India. So they will go back there anyway. No need to publish such flashy articles to conclude that brain drain is stopping now...
Don't want to make more bitter comments. But pity on this.
