    It's a reflection of how minorities are being treated in India. Religious persecution, and desecration of their places of Worship. unfairly treated with no job opportunities in spite of being highly qualified. no Government jobs at all. Finally, they opt for better opportunities, where they are treated right and religious activities of minorities are not viewed suspiciously and with

    For world's most populous country, this is peanuts. Corrupts are leaving because they made money by corrupt means, by looting people in this country & running away to other countries to enjoy that corrupt money. I didn't see price of anything coming down due to people leaving, instead prices are going up for all the commodities.

    There are over 500,000 Indian students in Canada alone on a student visa to get Canadian credentials, they will find jobs and apply for PR card, hence, most will not come back to India. This is a big brain drain as so many young talented people are leaving. Another matter of very big concern is between 5000 to 8000 people from the business community having a very high net worth are leaving India for the past 2/3 years. Mukesh Ambani has purchased a huge palatial mansion in the U.K where he resides with his family. His son purchased a home in the UAE, where he operates from. Earlier it was said that the have nots are leaving for greener pastures, but the big question I have for the government is - Why are the Have's (the rich) leaving?

    Indians are not abandoning Indian citizenship. India does not allow dual citizenship; if an Indian takes a foreign citizenship, his Indian citizenship is cancelled. So it is the Indian Citizenship Act that has to be the reason for abandoning.

    Majority who gave up citizenship are the ones who boast about modi, who boast of the country who boast about Hindutva etc etc. I can term these guys as HYPOCRITES. I want to ask them if they live theur country so much then why earn and live in countries of Christian and Muslims??????

    These are of same type of Indians who assembled for 'Howdy Modi' or other events during his globe trotting. I thought there would be a reverse trend after Achche Din since 2014 but the number of traitors continues to rise.
