I differ from you . All human beings look for opportunities . Lot of professionals are coming back to India because opportunities are created now to make it big through hardwork and creative thinking . Like the writer I'm also a so called "OBC" boy from a middleclass family who competed in general category, studied B.E computer science in an REC, stayed away from using caste even after losing campus job in 2001 recession and worked hard to fight back and get a job in the so called "fiercely competitive" private sector. My younger sister also always competed in general category . now we work for one of the top consultancy firms in the world . It's about pride sir as Dr. Gopi correctly pointed out .
