Brain Drain

When Jamie Siddons was appointed for Bangladesh national cricket team, some people in Australia said, Australian cricket needed him. Australian age level teams will suffer because of his absence. They directly said, Australian cricket is a victim of brain drain.

That may be one of few cases where a developed country is suffering. In most cases undeveloped countries like Bangladesh are suffering.

Especially US is absorbing talents from all over the world.

Md. Zafar Iqbal is a famous academic and a very popular writer in Bangladesh. He had very lucrative job offers abroad. But he came back to Bangladesh. His fans say, he came back because, he believes he has a moral responsibility for his country. He got the opportunity to study in educational institutions in almost free of cost. He needs to pay back.

But he says, he came back simply because he was homesick.

We can say most of the academics of developing countries are not homesick!
