No man! Not in my generation. Don't you see, we're way too busy to prove we're better than the dhotis! at least in NAME CALLING ;)

Hmm seems many indian in usa been watching Shah rukh khan movie "Swadesh"....hehehehe seems influence by it.

I think the comperative advantage is working here. If you only can make 1/2 of what you can earn here in the US, I think you will save a lot in India or in Nepal that you cannot imagine in the US. It is also cultural things. We south asian (possiblly from other parts of third world too) look for social prestige that you never can get in the US. "wat's up" and "Kaise ho bhai" early in the moring are totally different traits. And the India I saw last year is not very different from developed world. Six Len Highway, big shopping malls, night life etc. are common in india these days.

I want to go back home. but the world is set on changing my mind. from my parents to my friends. they say there is nothing left back home. if thats the case, how are people still living in third world countries like ours. i was here 2/3 years ago when the country situation was just as bad. i did survive, pretty well i guess.
but then i dont want to go back with any promise of a better future or to revolutionize the nation with my american education. as a matter of fact i dont even care much of my achievement. but i feel as though i belong back home. i see things in a more global prespective. nothing against amrikan soil, no hatered against any race. but somehow nepal is always calling me back. i am sure i will be frustrated and depressed sometime in my life about my decision but i depression isnt a rare experience in my "american" life. I want to go back because i need to be there more than they need me to. its almost insignificant coming from me only but it certainly does add up.
i hope the feeling never fades.

I respect your feelings Ruby.

One should keep in mind that those indians are NOT returning back to India due to the fact that they lost the jobs or any reasons that eroded their legal status.

The indians that the above url link explained were already well settled and established their mature experiences that can market them anywhere. They are already US citizens. They can come to US any time and can establish business linkage between USA and India.

Hence, they are going back for their better prospect NOT just because the US job market and economy forced them to do so.

This is what my perception is. Your analysis is welcome.
