In a family with strained relations, simply adjusting outward behaviour is not a long term solution. Similarly, without addressing some of the root causes of why some Indians leave, effective solutions would be hard to come by. We also need to be cautious about "magic pill" approaches. Simply passing a new law or injecting funds into an industry is not an answer. A workable solution will require thought, research, consistent effort, and possibly even some trial and error. Nonetheless, these are some approaches I have thought about. 1) Tweak or Abolish reservations. More than 60 years onwards, India is still divided along caste lines and many people are still living in dire poverty. Reservations meant to allow their voices to be heard and for their children to be educated, simply is not working. On the contrary, such measures have forced the people who do not meet the quota to search for greener pastures, often to foreign countries leading to a loss of talent and drying up this precious resource. Abolishing reservations would, at least over time, encourage meritocracy. Indians knowing that their talents are valued in their country would be more likely to stay. The resulting growth of talent and opportunity, would make NRIs seriously consider investing or resettling in India 2) Do Away with Hate Speech Laws. Firstly, these are not laws which India has needed until 1920s, relatively recent in India's History. These days, such laws are being used to silence dissent, particularly in the discourse of Religion. There are notable cases, of both journalists with well reasoned critiques of religion and individuals making frivolous comments about Religious figures being charged under these laws. Particularly in the former, such laws curtail freedom of speech unnecessarily and divert both media and legal attention away from serious issues such as policy making, which require the publics attention towards less important issues such as someone taking offense, which over time, will cease to be a serious concern. On a similar note, a mature society such as India, should be able to self-regulate its media, without resorting to British Era laws. 3)A legal framework to bolster security. We need a different approach to dealing with security threats, not just a new act. The 2008 attacks in Mumbai revealed various blind spots in our security strategy. Though Mumbai police might be making progress in better equipping our police officers with newer technology and perhaps refining their training, the handling of the Kasab case has shown how Indian Law can be taken for a ride. Despite finally arriving at a death penalty sentence this year, an appeal by Kasab delays the verdict further. In all likelihood, a future catastrophe would divert the public attention away and justice may never be served. A framework that can deal with such threats, in conjunction with developments in security infrastructure would convince me that India is a safe place to stay, work and play.
