Indian Talent as you know is in much demand both locally and internationally. We are the most densely populated country in the world, and a supposedly 74% literacy rate. We are the most sought after talent almost everywhere, especially IT, engineering, O&G, health etc...

But the problem arises when these individuals go and accept these jobs, they really excel at it, and their only goal is the top. This is possible to achieve in the Western countries, but not in the Gulf countries, as they still rely on western talent even if the Indian talent is much superior. There goes a serious racial profiling in these Gulf Countries.

Now with these gulf countries announcing that they don't need any skilled labor for future years and immigration reforms for these types of skill sets have made it literally impossible for our younger generation to work in these countries. The GCC countries are looking to hire only local citizens for all the skilled jobs irrespective of them having the experience to do or not. Definitely, these locals have a great education, but actual experience is not there. And like i said the next preference is the western talent which comes at a super high premium, which they pay without giving a second thought.

Its not that the western countries are full in support of Indian talent, if you are a doctor of decades worth of experience it wont be possible for you to practice medicine in the USA, unless you pass their exams and go through the internship phase with someone who is years and years junior to them. The best thing, is that they do not make it easy for them to give these exams, and sometimes i have seen doctors wait years, On a personal note, i have seen a friend wait for four years before he could even appear for the exams and clear it at his first attempt.

The reason for this is because they know fully well that Indian talent excels at everything, and their only goal is to be best in the field. That is the reason that you can see that there are various doctors of Indian origin who are heading their respective fields. So, the only thing that the western countries can do, is make it a bit delayed for these individuals, either that they return to their country in frustration or get delayed.

But again, you cannot blame their countries for having these curbing foreign talent, because they have the unemployment issue in their own country, and they have to curb foreign talent, and that comes at a cost to us.

Its really great that India is making strides in all sectors, and the salaries that they were once looking for in far off lands, are possible to get locally, provided you work hard. What this does, is that India gets to keep its local talent, and not loose out on future inventions that come through this talent, which will help in getting the unemployment at an acceptable level. We also don't like foreign people taking our jobs, but since globalization has come into play, you cannot run from this issue, and you have to face it head on.
