For much of the last century India suffered a "brain drain". Generations of Indians set off in search of a better life in other countries. Today, an estimated 25 million people of Indian origin live overseas. But could the tide be turning?

Quote:

In Bangalore, one of India's booming high-tech centres, an estimated 35,000 overseas Indians have set up home.

In the last few years people born overseas who are able to prove their Indian descent have been able to apply for a special immigration status

.

Has Britain become such a **** place to live?

No, don't answer that.

From the 1950's to the present day, continuing third-world migration into Britain has been a contributing factor in many migrants from urban Britain going to preceived British cultural sanctuaries in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

Perhaps many of the educated and professional Indians returning to India from Britain are doing so under increasing pressures in 'their' areas within Britain from increasing numbers of East Europeans and a rising muslims population?

A case of what goes round, comes round.
