We need not fear brain drain because we are more than 100 crores of people and we have plenty of brains to spare to the drain.
All the defects written about our system are largely true. But the person who has the grit to come up does come up. Take the case of our Abdul Kalam. He had his primary education only in an ill equpped village school. Hurdles will always be there in some form or other for people who want to come up. But the person with grit is able to overcome all the hurdles and succeed.
Let us not conclude that only IIT and IIM graduates are brilliant. There are so many people who can run a company or organization equally if not more efficently with routine education. One needs more of common sense and application with perseverance to succeeed in any endeavour. Educational qualifications apart, in the long run it is the person with determination, perseverance and hard work who will be delivering the goods
Please do not imply that all IIT and IIM graduates are brilliant. A good number among them are sloggers with just mediocre aptitude.
There is enough evidence for this in many of the companies here in India (and perhaps abroad too). If one gets closely associated with the preparation for entrance to IITs and IIMs, one will realise that there is a lot of room for mediocrity in those institutes (albeit made up with dogged perseverance).

Yes Rajsekaran, you are right. In long run, the education may guide you but only the attitude which determines everything. Thanks Aditya
