What is to bet? That is what human beings do. If there is unequal distribution of wealth, they will go where the opportunities are. The largest number of indians residing abroad is perhaps in the middle-east countries. Do they love and admire the democracy and administration of those countries? No. But there are economic opportunities. Just like the British civil servant in the nineteenth century may have hated the idea of leaving for India on a long assignment, but loved the perks and promotions that came with it.
