A recent
report in News Week says that in American colleges, students of Asian origin
outperform not only the minority group students but the majority whites as
well. Many of these students must be of Indian origin, and their achievement is
something we can be proud of. It is unlikely that these talented youngsters
will come back to India, and that is the familiar brain drain problem. However
recent statements by the nation's policy-makers indicate that the perception of
this issue is changing. 'Brain bank' and not 'brain drain' is the more
appropriate idea, they suggest since the expertise of Indians abroad is only
deposited in other places and not lost.
This may be so, but this brain bank,
like most other banks, is one that primarily serves customers in its neighborhood.
The skills of the Asians now excelling in America's colleges will mainly help
the U.S.A.. No matter how significant,
what non-resident Indians do for India and what their counterparts do for other
Asian lands is only a by-product. But it is also necessary to ask, or be
reminded, why Indians study fruitfully when abroad. The Asians whose
accomplishments News Week records would have probably had a very different tale
if they had studied in India. In America they found elbow room, books and
facilities not available and not likely to be available here. The need to prove
themselves in their new country and the competition of an international
standard they faced there must have cured mental and physical laziness. But
other things helping them in America can be obtained here if we achieve a
change in social attitudes, specially towards youth.
We need to learn to value individuals and
their unique qualities more than conformity and respectability. We need to
learn the language of encouragement to add to our skill in flattery. We might also
learn to be less liberal with blame and less tightfisted with appreciation, especially.
