A DIRECT APPEAL TO MY PRIME MINSTER SHRI NARENDRA MODI JI
Its hightime India stops this braindrain. I winced in pain hearing my PM say, ‘there is a huge global demand for Indian visas.’ Obviously this is his polite answer to America. But is that a permanent solution Modi ji. If anyone can plug the braindrain from India for good, it is YOU. China did it. If you want to compete with China, plug this braindrain from India. Cancel passports if Indian STEM graduates who go to America stay beyond 2 years. They have to live illegally in America after the deadline or get back for legal existence in India. This will what will do good for India in the long run. So far we never bothered because we keep producing aspiring young people who are terribly ambitious. But creating an environment within the country to engage them productively will what be the ultimate solution. Which American university did Shri Abdul Kalam attend. None of the ISRO scientists have earned a degree from American universities. In fact some of them or most of them are tier 2 or tier 3 engineering university graduates not creamy tech schools – which means they did not graduate from IIT/IIM, the nation’s premier institutions. We have done enough for America. Its time we do something for ourselves. Build the best universities with the help of those nations like Japan, Israel, Scandinavian nations etc and even with America. Bolster the existing ones with collaboration. Transform India. It will not go down well with the Indian public who will see it as a curb on their fundamental rights – but you can do it. This is my direct appeal to my prime minister. Don’t allow a single Indian graduate to live or work in America beyond 2 years, especially the medicos. Get them all back. You will be truly rendering yeomen service to Mother India for centuries to come.
