I am confused! When we were kids - the sentiment used to be high against Brain Drain - young talented students migrating to the US for studies and then work. But today, after the government and 'thinkers' realize the amount of benefits that accrue from the Diaspora - the situation has changed .. we are simply calling it a form of 'Globalization'
On the other hand, the country which held the 'Globalization' flag high in the 70s and 80s - the US - is today faced with protests like this. The fight though is not so more on the streets than on the cyber'streets. Yes, anti-immigrant sites in the US are now using Google Bombing in an effort to combat the job-drain problem.
Truthfully, I am on neither side of the debate. In my opinion, where you live, how you live, what kind of jobs you do should depend on
However, I strongly believe in one thing. The internet is a free medium - an epitome of democracy across the world. And like any democracy, any misinformation campaign can only harm its functioning. Hence, to combat any misinformation campaign on the web - I support Peter Jayaraj.

- your own likes and dislikes (aren't there several Indian who are today choosing to stay in India than migrate?)
- on your talent and its value in the market (if there was no value for the Indian techie in the US market - they would never have gone there isn't it?)
- your own value system (if you are still against brain drain - stick to your own nation!)
