Remembering Rajeev Motwani?

Rajeev Motwani, was a great scholar. He did his B-Tech from the IITs and like all other IITians went to the U.S to pursue his future. He has mentored a lot of startup like Google and PayPal in becoming global enterprises. Sergey Brin the Google co-founder has not updated his blog since a long time, but Rajeev's untimely death has made him write a blog post about Rajeev. A website has also come up on his remembrance - Remembering Rajeev.

I as a human, really feel sorry for Rajeev's untimely death and my deep condolences are with his family but as an Indian I am totally not bothered about Rajeev. I am writing this blog post not to praise Rajeev, but to throw some light on the way he left his country. Rajeev is a professor in the Stanford university. He has helped many great companies and minds, but why did he leave India. He studied in IIT and he should have used the opportunity to serve India. He should have developed the IT field in India. He should have stayed in India and mentored indians and indian ideas to build enterprises. Which in turn would have been good for the nation's progress and offered many job oppurtunities for Indians. He did no such thing. He just got his education and left the country. Why? Because he wanted a better life, thats all.

Every Indian going abroad and working and settling there should think twice before leaving their motherland.
