India or Abroad ?

Well said Divs and Aaditya !

But I also agree with NY and Jags, its often the lack of opportunities that make people move outside and its the lack of proper working conditions that force them to remain outside.

Then conditions, like corruption, hasslled-life and all those things that make them decide not to return.

A Good Story …

 
OLD VERSION...

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the  ant's a fool and laughs & dances
& plays the summer  away.
Come winter,  the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no  food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
 

MODERN VERSION (excellent)

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his  house and laying up supplies for the winter. The  grasshopper thinks the  ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know  why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well  fed while others are cold and starving.

DD, AAJTAK, NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper  next to a video of the ant in his comfortable
Home with a table filled  with food.

The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house. Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other grasshoppers demanding that grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter. Amnesty  International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for not  upholding the fundamental rights of the grasshopper.

The Internet is  flooded with online petitions seeking support to the grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt
support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance). Opposition MP's
stage a walkout.Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and
Kerala demanding a   Judicial Enquiry.CPM in Kerala immediately passes a
law preventing Ants  from working hard in the heat so as to bring about
equality of poverty among ants and grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian  Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'. Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the  Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act [POTAGA]", with effect from  the beginning of the winter.

Arjun Singh makes Special Reservation for GrassHopper in educational
Insititutions & in Govt Services.

The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.
Arundhati Roy calls it "a triumph of justice". Lalu  calls it 'Socialistic Justice'. CPM calls it the  'revolutionary resurgence of the downtrodden' Koffi Annan invites the grasshopper to  address the UN General Assembly.

Many years later...The ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi billion dollar company in silicon valley. 100s of grasshoppers  still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India ....

As a result loosing lot of hard working ants and feeding the grasshoppers, India is still a developing country......
