Its a reality. one can't do much about it. My wing mate was hired in Tower Research for 80 lacs per annum. Didn't make much news cost other companies had made even bigger offers .
But look at it this way. Sundar pichai, Indra Nooyi and all other folks we take pride in today is because of this brain drain only. This will benefit the country in long run. Win Win for us.

They don't need your respect, they have achieved what they wanted for themselves. For that much money i would also have drained my head there. But unfortunately i didn't made it to IIT .

Anyway it is better for country as they will pay a lot of money as taxes to govt and will encourage students.

2. i participate in a world socialist movement.

3. i have brought socialism into the awareness of pdf members.

They wanted good quality life and that's what they are getting.

technically correct, but they cannot be selfish and not participate in totally changing especially india... what will they do with that money... the same that typical indians do... buy a house in some middle-class area, buy a silly car, arrange a 600-guest wedding etc.

the lady earning that money won't probably help her in not being "honor killed"... remember the female college student from delhi who was murdered by her parents a few days back.

A short sighted person only can say such a thing. When Satya Nadella went to US, People like you would have thought same same goes for a lot of other people.

What you say as Wage slavery, there is no thing like wage slavery. No one can stop him if he wanted to to resign, so don't use these big words. They worth nothing in this open market. Only weak will whine about competition.
Survival for the fittest is natural thing, you have to compete if you want to survive. Very simple thing.

What is name of your project. (If you will tell me name, then my next reply would be that you have achieved nothing by your own logic that those guys have achieved nothing.)

2. i participate in a world socialist movement.
