@article{N. V. Varghese_2021, title={Education and Migration:: A Study of the Indian Diaspora}, volume={8}, url={https://ejournals.bc.edu/index.php/ijahe/article/view/13481}, abstractNote={<p>The Indian diaspora consists of low- and semi-skilled migrants mainly to<br>the Middle-East; migration of the highly-skilled to developed countries;<br>and cross-border students who seek employment and remain in their host<br>countries. India initially viewed the migration of the best educated from<br>its prestigious institutions as ‘brain drain’. However, with the reverse flow<br>of these professionals, the diaspora came to be seen as ‘brain gain’. The<br>highly-skilled Indian diaspora assumed positions of responsibility in the<br>corporate world, in academia (including Nobel laureates), and in the political<br>and social spheres in some host countries, thereby enhancing India’s<br>image abroad.</p> <p>Key words: India, skilled migration, human aspirations, brain drain, brain<br>gain</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of African Higher Education}, author={N.
