Mr.Rajeev, Theres a huge difference between survival and living. What Ur Keralites do in Middle East is abject slavery. Also the IT honchos you mentioned have to toil 14 to 16 hrs / day and if they are in Far East then God knows how many, for their bread and butter. None of these persons can enjoy a peaceful life with their near & dear in a place dearest to their heart, which if you dont know, is called living. The other side of the coin is that the countries OR the Indian states these people moved into were not xenphobic. Once they become then we can see the ugly images similar to street fights happened between Mahrashtrians and Biharis OR Biharis and Assamese. So till the doors are open there are celebrations and when it closed what will happen - well you do know about the story of frogs in a well right?

And your point Mr Ramki ? That we stay like frog's in the well and not even try for these jobs or ridicule them and go back to the time when the only good job was a govt job ( which were limited and in which you had not even to work to earn your pay and pension). Instead of ridiculing these jobs be grateful to them for they are contributing to the nation's development.

One does not have to go out of his or her State for developing the Nation. Don't tell me that every Keralite goes out of his Statekeeping in mind the necessity develop God's own country. Kerala has cent per cent literacy. Every Keralite is a cut above the average. The citizens belonging to other States cannot equal Keralites. They are the most enlightened and naturally they should condescend to look at people belonging to other States and they do so. Unfortunately, in spite of all these blessings, Kerala is still backward in comparison to the neighbouring States. They are not getting their due. I too weep with them.
