    As we are in a state of technology and with down turn happening around us, may we reqeust our Indian Government to boost Foreign investment in the Technology front, Scientific & healthcare research and high end Electronics. With Indian Industry is growing, its high time that India brings in more and more technology related Industries to India and keep the brain drain at ZERO level. Let us not give away our talents rather than bring them opportunities of challenge and prosperity.
