The non Non Returning Indians!

More Indians who recently moved to the US it seems are planning on moving back home. This is a great turnaround from the days when work and study oriented migration was largely a one way move.

High rates of migration between the world's two of the largest and most vibrant democracies can only be good for both nations.However, you have to believe this is more of an advantage for India.

From anecdotal evidence and personal experience , it is very clear that most Indian immigrants who arrive in the US are young and with relatively short work experience if any at all. Most of them are ready to step out of the comfort zone of their home country.They come here to the US , expand their horizons both cultural and professional.

Many of them are very entrepreneurial, they start businesses and a fraction of them spark brand new ideas. When they decide to go back , they are much more mature and well rounded individuals who can do a lot of good for their native country. They bring fresh perspectives , first world business practices and a good lot of capital. India should be doing everything to keep the rate of returning Indians steady.

Here's wishing for more direct flights and more non Non Returning Indians(NRI's) in the business class sections of  brand new 787's.
