Lot of intelligent people study and work in Mumbai.
But many leave for abroad due to corrupt system and reservation policies of this backward country.
Yes; India needs to do away with reservations - no reservations based on religion or on economic status.
Corruption needs to be removed.
Government cannot even take care of the city in rains - just make a good sewage control system.
People should keep their homes and neighbourhoods clean. Come on. Wake yourselves and your neighbours now. Its been more than 60 years.
Just a few facts:
- we and Pakistan have the cheapest peones in the world, cheaper than Somalia
- tech, rising GDP, ... and still no expat would dare to make a move to India, they would even prefer to go to places like Thailand or Ecuador as it happens indeed
- our labors (and Pakistani even more) go literally everywhere just to escape the country. Hell I met them even in Somalia as labor migrants!
