Brain drain is not a good thing when the country can give entrepreneurship opportunities to those brains.Except not really. Only the most intelligent high iq cognitive elite go. Then they kick ass in the West instead of launching businesses and creating new intellectual property in India. Brain drain is not a good thing.
If it cannot,then brain drain is a net positive, because MOST of those people end up sending money back home in orders of magnitude greater than what they'd be earning back home. Plus, they create indian interest groups in the foreign nations.
one of the lessons of history that Indians are reluctant to admit, is that we started losing to the turks and after the Kannauj triangle period, when the stupidly disastrous idea of ' if you travel to or live in mleccha desh, its paap' mentality started to take root. As a result, we surrendered the dominance of Bay of Bengal trade route and Arabian sea route to foreigners, who's businessmen started increasing in our homeland, while ours went to zero in theirs, and we lost the valuable ability to gather intel, to keep a pulse on their political developments, while they increased their's. Its not a coincidence that even between 800 CE and 1196 CE, the arabs, the turks, etc knew exactly which kingdom to avoid, which kingdom to blow up and when.
One drawback of the Ameican-Chinese relationship for America, for eg, is that China has a much better pulse on American inner politics & machinations than the Americans have for the Chinese- because there's millions of Chinese immigrants living in USA and only a few thousand yankees in Zhongguo
