The World – India Calling – NYTimes.com
My love for the country of my birth has never flickered. But these new times piqued interest in my ancestral land. Many of us, the stepchildren of India, felt its change of spirit, felt the gravitational force of condensed hope. And we came.
Great article about the seeming reversal of the ‘brain drain’ – that is, the flow toward India of Indian ethnics born in the U.S. to immigrant parents. Reading what people have to say about this type of phenomena brings me a smile to my face – after all, it does have a lot of parallels to my thesis (which was about transnational choices facing Chinese Americans).
Interesting article, I wrote some comments on my blarg about it. Keep posting stuff Jeff you got some good insights here.
