Book excerpt: This unusual book takes a positive approach and explores how a nation losing its valuable human resources to another one can make the best of the situation. To this end, the author analyses the migration of knowledge workers from India to the USA over three decades and locates this phenomenon within the context of a civil society seeking to reconcile its loss of human capital with an expanding diaspora. Focusing primarily on `the second-generation effects` of brain drain, Binod Khadria proposes various ways in which to turn the exodus of talent to the home country`s advantage.
