When one reads this news one feels like this is great seeing an Indian-American Nithin Nohria a former IITian becoming the dean of Harvard university but the things its not all who think like this but then many feel bad that people like him are serving in other country and making them even more stronger and left their motherland in search of bigger things.

All big companies across the world is headed by many Indians lately but none of them are in India helping India or Indian companies reach that stage. So, what do you think people does these kind of news makes you feel proud that yes and Indian has achieved it or feel sad that he is of no use to our country?

Whenever we see news like sanjay jha the top most paid CEO in the world who heads motorola, or Indira nooyi heading pepsi, Vikram pandit heading Citi, and now Nitin Nohria who is the dean of Harvard university, it gives a great feeling like yes an Indian is heading and we feel so much pride in telling others this news, but somewhat feel sad that what is the use that these Indians are doing to this country, they are all helping other country to grow and not India, there is no service from them to take India to the next stage. They are as good as useless to India.  The dean of Harvard could have easily made our IIT become like a Harvard, but thats not the case...though we feel happy for them, but we feel sad that India couldn't retain such people...

Thanks for the referral Mr.Dayanand Deshpande.

Every Indian should feel proud, when Indians are elevated to such a top position in abroad. I feel they are deserved for the top posts. Hence no regret. What is there to feel sad, when they are getting the opportunities with their capabilities. It's a matter of feeling good.

I do not agree with you, Dayanand.

We should be proud of Nitin Nohria that he is holding the position of Dean of

Havard University.

As a democratic country you are free to do the job of your choice whether it is

India or outside India.

& Daya please give the answer to my question that supposed if this position is,

offered to you then what are you going to do ?

Are these people getting sufficent opportunity/challenge in India?

Will they get the respect for their knowledge in India?

& let me tell you one thing that every Indian is not working for package.

There are certain things like self establishment/development also matters.

Finally, we should be proud of their achievement that they are establishing an

Indian as a brand.

It is a great pride that an Indian has been made the Dean of Harward.It is not the question that he is doing for India,I vouch today the MBA'S rolled out of India from I.I.M'S OR BITS, Pilani and several other upcoming Business School like Indian Business School at Hyderabad are now ay inferior.

The pride for every Indian is that an Indian is heading as a dean of Harward, though he is in America, his soul will be an Indian only.

Its not the question of feeling sad or good.  We have to see to what extent his position in Harvard will help shape our country?  Will he uphold the value system of India, he has inculcated and imbibed over years, in the international domain?  We have a number of Indians heading various positions in a number of universities abroad.  How much have they contributed to the growth of this country.  I know, for sure, Dr. Bala V. Balachandran, whowas heading a Department in Kellogs have contributed a lot for this country, for which he was honoured  with"Padma Shri" award by the Government of India.  Dr. Malcolm S. Adiseshiah, the first Asian to be the Dy. Director-General of UNESCO, was instrumental in spreading the Adult Literacy Campaign in India, funded a number of Indian projects when was holding Chair in the UNESCO.  We require such great men to promote Indian interests in foreign soil.  Otherwise, this kind of positions will only be viewed as individual achievement not to do anything with the country, etc.

How convenient it is to blame the government.. There are flaws in government and then there were always flaws there.. now we can see them clearly because many people are coming up and giving voice to the wrong practices..
It is a wonderful concept but we need a right plan to follow it. Just an idea wont help.
Bad news really bad news . 1) We should produce our own arms . 2) More arms means more fight. 3) Only arms would not ensure security.
