વિદ્વાને ત્યજવો એ પ્રદેશ, જ્ઞાન-કલાનું જ્યાં માન નથી,
રાજ્યકર્તાઓ  ભ્રષ્ટચારી  અને પ્રજાને કોઈ સાન નથી,
અર્જુન  જેવા  શિષ્ય માટે કદી દુર્લભ ગીતા જ્ઞાન નથી,
ડફોળશંકરો માટે ક્યારેય અવતરતા કૃષ્ણ ભગવાન નથી,

શું  સમજાવું  હું  ભલા  એને   જેને  કાંઈ  ભાન  નથી?
ઊંધે  ઘોડે  ફરે એને  કેમ કહેવું કે પૂંછ એ લગામ નથી!
શબ્દો  મારા  ફક્ત  સહાયક  છે  હૃષી,  ફરમાન  નથી,
જો  તીર   બનવાની ત્રેવડ ના હોય તો, હું કમાન નથી.

People who talk about ‘Brain-Drain’ have evidently drained their own brains because what’s the point in sawing the best seed in arid and hostile land!

Best artists, intellectuals and wise-men should move to the land which is fertile for their quest for excellence and knowledge. Because being in the situation where such individual’s energies are being wasted is a huge loss of entire human race.

Let’s say, a person is an exceptional mathematician and living in a country where M means just madness. If this person moves to the environment which is conducive, the person will be able to do something which is going to be helpful for millions of people around the globe. A scientist cannot let her talents being wasted where there is no laboratory to support her abilities. If given proper tools that scientist may be able to find a cure for billions.

Art and knowledge can be utilized by anyone around the world and that doesn’t care about the BS-ish boundaries of marked territories, confined religious segments, ridiculous rigidness of race etc. A beautiful painting or unique sculpture or melodious music or a scientific principle or a lifesaving drug etc provides the same effect, regardless of human imaginary confinements. Thus, the talent possessing such potential must be free to move and prosper the best place it deems worth.

In modern times, we have witnessed the rise of a nation ( everybody is aware about its name, so no need to mention ) in just couple of hundred years, which is kind of juggernaut in many aspects and its meteoric rise in almost all fields is the result of the migration of the smartest people across the planet to this particular nation. Those whose exceptional talents would have simply disappeared from the surface of the earth if they have been left to decay in their own SH-ish countries, have been able to make enormous impact on society, just due to the availability of the right kind of environment.

So the next time someone makes an argument about Brain Drain, ask them if the container utterly contaminated by corruption, nepotism, religious rigidity, superstitiousness, ancient infrastructure, eroded education system and large amount of abhorrently foolish particles ( ohh sorry people if they can be classified so! ), is capable enough to hold the pure ‘Ganga-jal’ 😉
