The story is simple. If you want good money, lifestyle, respect, professionalism, good healthcare, a good future for your children - then stay in the US. There is no other place on earth that can give you a combination of all these. There is an inital struggle when you land here but once you get going, there is no end. Now the other aspect of the story: If you really got guts, and you think you can make even a miniscule change in our homeland, then you got to return back. Limited money, not such a good lifestyle, corruption, competition, poor infrastructure and so many other problems. That is why I said guts. One needs guts to come back. Staying in US is so easy. Remember Americans have built America and Indians have to build India. We always blame our politicians. We are running away from ourselves. Our concern is me, my wife, my kids, my house, my car, my bank balance, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.........Very few of you would agree to what I write. But this is the truth. We got Independence in 1947. Actually the struggle is on. We still need Independence. Our freedom fighters are getting lured by the green cards and the US passport. You decide. You have a responsibility towards your family, probably you have another responsibility which you seem to be forgetting too easily. Dr. Kaiser Raja from New York, US

Well put...its a personal decision but remember that Passports and GC's don't mean that you loose your connection to India. Indians living abroad are contributing to India's growth as well. Lets not forget them as well...

I agree. The way people work for society in US cannot be compared to India. It will take us some time to get out of our me and my family mentality. I feel it comes from years of deprivation and uncertainity the society faced. In america people donate for common causes. for kids going to college etc. Going back in history, If we start our gurukul system again, I am sure the kids will roam around the country and will not get a morsel to eat at present (compare it to the past when students and brahmins used to sustain on dakshina). I feel the concept of working for society has been eroded because of social and economic insecurity for several centuries

Raja just two simple points to >
America is not built by Americans, it is by Indians! Just check the number of top positions held by Indians in Multinational corporations, Inventions in terms of tecnology(Pentium chip scientists at NASA, IBM, Apple, Microsoft) to just name a few.
Second if you are in INDIA you wont get deseases! leave alone the fact of facilities of curing. Buy desease, GET Good Medication> that is the kind of advertisement life you guys lead in America. How many people in India use anti Depresant Tablets at the age of as low as 15....
One thing I got from your post very clearly, You Dont have Guts!

To all those idiots, who keep saying that US is built by Indians. Indians were no where to be seen until late 80s and early 90s in the US. Where were Indians when US launched the Saturn rocket to Moon? Where were Indians when Eisenhovewer built the expressways through out the US in 50s and 60s? Where were Indians when IBM built its first computer, Apple invented first PC, Ford built first car, Wright brothers flew the first plane and so on?
Last but not the least, if Indians are so great then why is India in such a pathetic state?

Raja - you talk like a chamaaar. Anyways to each his own. And by the way - who are you conning by saying healthcare is good in the US ? Its ranked 36th in the world for God's sake and has been hogging the presidential debate for its urgent need to be changed.
Watch the documentary SICKO and you will get a heads up on the healthcare system in the US> Looks like you are another James Bond doctor who has been fleecing people in the name of treatment.

US is 36th on the list and where does India come in on that list...my friend in India, the doctors can chop off your balls and feed them to you and nothing can be done or is ever done. Broken as it is, there is atleast some order in the US.

Is that the reason Medical tourism is booming in India ? Naah you won't understand. Keep living in your propaganda led world - and be fed pig shit in your utopia. And yes..... Micahel moore backed it up with facts on live television. You cannot - so I suppose you continue living in your bronx ghetto.

Faceless Indian So you get your facts from TV's and documentaries?, have ever visited the ER room or a hospital room in US compared that to India ?? The US was and still is the best in healthcare, it is not free, but if you can afford it, you are in the best hands. Anyways, what Dr. Raja was saying makes tremendous sense, too bad Raja, people are very sarcastic and mean in India, they will kill you or make you bankrupt in order for them to have a good living. I personally think, if we want to do anything for India, think that you are doing it for yourself, your ego and not for the people, because honestly the people out there dont deserve it, all they care about is regionalism, casteism, and bashing other religions especially Islam, have you seen the comments here by people who post ? by the way i am a Hindu before you folks start scouring for my head.

Dream on dude - as long as what raja makes sense to you and your ilk - the US will have the kind of healthcare it has and will be gloating in self pride while the people suffer. And NO - the documentary was a reference - data is taken from other sources online. If you didnt understand that - i don't blame you - retards like you have been treated in American hospitals. No wonder you don't understand. happy chest thumping about American healthcare system while Medical Toursim from the US booms in India, canada and Mexico.

Common guys we have to appreciate Raja instead of trying to hide the real facts in india. I am from Boston, Post doctoral fellow. Just tell me how many of you know the situation of our research (i mean medical research) and our so called scientists and how many know how the research system works in India. Do these people do good research or just get the grant do some fishy research and extend their projects showing some results. Where does all the money goes, into their pockets. The results are no publications, no patents, etc just comment on others about their work. Compare the same system in USA, they just work for the results with quality.
