• Family and relationships / Family commitments
  
• High compensation

would be the main reasons, even today, why an Indian would want to return back to India. It's still not the recent achievements and higher growth India is clocking and the above said reasons are age old reasons why any Indian would return back. So, in my opinion the reverse brain drain is still not real.

So, for a genuine reverse brain drain to happen, India still has to do a lot by mainly eliminating corruption and introducing professionalism, to attract back the educated lot to further the growth of India. But recent developments in reservations in institutions of excellence like IITs and IIMs and the proposal to introduce reservation in private companies are retrograde steps that unfortunately don’t bring much hope!
