"To prove his point, Mr. Brahmachari, who was two hours late for an interview scheduled by his office, read from a government guide ....."

"As the interview was closing, Mr. Brahmachari questioned why anyone would be interested in the situation, and then said he would complain to a reporter’s bosses in New York if she continued to pursue the story. "

Well Well. That says it all. The state of affairs in the Indian govt. I would appalled at Mr. Ayyadurai for doing this. One can dream or talk abt it, but action? What was he thinking? Didn't he knew how things work in govt?

Private sector is a whole different balllgame. Many Indians, incuding some of my friends, who were in finance and IT sectors have returned to India and are doing well. Joining a govt outfit? That too after almost 40 yrs in US? This is beyond my imagination, at least.

I thought it is so obvious.

Obvious that Indian Expatriates who have had their higher education abroad, stayed and worked abroad would naturally find it difficult to integrate professionally or psychologically with the conditions as they exist in India today on various walks of life.

I personally know of an enlightened and very well known academic and Former Vice Chancellor of one of the Premier Indian universities expressly advising a successful Indo U.S. Technocrat and a top scientist of Texas Inc., against returning to India. A wise man, indeed, he is.

While those who migrate to Western Societies after having had a professional innings in India may find it easier to go back to their motherland, those who have had their personalities evolve under the influence of academic, professional and social environments in Western society, would find it exceptionally difficult to go back,perform and be accepted in India and would in all probability return at the very first opportunity. The majority of such people are those who go abroad to pursue higher studies and settle down, or born and brought up under the Western influence.

Possibly, it may be relatively easier for such people to go back to India just to stay put and do nothing, but retire in peace and solitude.
