Acharya Prashant addresses a student's dilemma regarding whether to return to India after completing a PhD in the United States. He challenges the student's assumptions about nationalism and the 'financial aspects' that might prevent a return. He clarifies that while money is a definite need, greed is indefinite, and India currently possesses enough resources to support skilled professionals. He emphasizes that the perceived gap in research facilities is narrowing and that capable individuals are needed to actively bridge this gap by building institutions rather than just seeking ready-made ones.
