Agreed...thanks ISN and Munivar for the knowledge download on this...but would this figure then indicate that we are moving towards a remittance economy??...or is it too small a figure to really hint that as of now..?

No, a country like India can exploit this to its advantage because we have enough human capital, when Indian youth shy away from education then we will have a problem, I don’t see that happening now but that might change in 50 years.

That will only happen if the investors feel that they will get good return on their investment, by judging the current situation investors are investing in India but India still lagging behind China when it comes to FDI.

Everyone has to do their part to move forward if someone is at the bottom then they must work more hard to move forward if they depend on the government for help then they will have to wait for their turn and India has a billion plus people.
