India now has the world’s largest diaspora. Over 15.5 million Indians live outside the country, a number greater than the combined populations of Zimbabwe and Kuwait. Since 2005, when Indians formed the world’s third largest diaspora at 9.5 million, their numbers have risen by staggering 60%, a new study on international migration by the United Nations has reported.


The report said that the total number of international migrants—people living in a country other than the one of their birth—grew by over 41% since 2000 to 244 million, or about 3.3% of the world population.

Over two thirds of the immigrant population was hosted in just about 20 countries.

The US remained home to the largest immigrant population in the world at more than 46 million, followed by Germany at 12 million. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates, which hosted a little over 2.4 million immigrants in 1995, now has over 8.1 million.

“In Europe, Northern America and Oceania, international migrants account for at least 10% of the total population. By contrast, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean, fewer than 2% the population are international migrants,” the UN report said.

Is there any chance of starting "Live in India" project to contain brain - drain ?

yesmohanji, are you still unsure of our own ability ? We all are proof of containing the brain drain. Imagine the country minus us, the picture would have been very much precarious. Have faith in me, we are the living proof of that.

Welcome decision.

After return, all could engage themselves in useful productive Endeavour in India.
