Not true in case of India either. A report[1] released just a few weeks ago mentions 0.85 million Indians who have surrendered their Indian citizenship in favour of US, Australia or other western countries in last 7 years.
It would be conservative to estimate that the number of migrants who have not yet surrendered their citizenship is 10x.
The brain drain is massive. I live and work in a tech hub and my social circle depletes every year. Every smart friend/colleague/acquaintance I have has either moved, is moving or hopes to move to the west in the next 5 years.

- N1H1L 5y agoBut 0.85 million is honestly a drop in the water for India. That's still less than 5% of the babies born in India in that time frame.
