Hello All, September is here and friends are already planning for New Year! Think Goa! is the vision for 12 -2006 – ping me if you would like to join our party! It was not too far when there was talk about ‘Brain Drain’ and there is now all talk about ‘Brian Gain’. An interesting article in 1999 saying India’s ‘Brian Gain’ is a very distant future - http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1625/16250880.htm

Just in 6 years there is talk about global brain gain – From Argentina, Brazil, China, India etc - http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0HWW/is_29_3/ai_66675393

My guess is beginning of brain gain in India started when there was global slow down started around 2001.  An interesting speech by Dr. R. A. Mashelkar on brain gain in 2003 - http://www.ibef.org/artdisplay.aspx?cat_id=100&art_id=1566   

At present, at least in India there is big inflow and interest of ‘coming back’
