Students having to pay taxes would discourage them to study abroad. Most of them make it abroad on merit through SAT, GMAT,GRE, and TOEFL and have to obtain bank loans to complete their chosen cource(s). The odd jobs like 'Assistant Teacher Assignments' they manage to get is barely sufficient for them to make two ends meet. The jobs they take up on completion of studies pay just about enough to sustain themselves and pay back the educational loans taken by them. If they are made to pay taxes out of meager amounts left after paying loan instalments and the taxes of the host country, most would prefer not study at all. Parliament's standing committee on HRD ministry has once again proposed a sure Recipe for discouraging merit and promoting stupidity.
Taxing students taking up jobs abroad on completion of their studies is not a good idea! Will the PM and Mrs Sonia Gandhi please stop Arjun Singh from coming up with such hair brained proposals? Having failed to reduce chances of merit succeeding at the IIMs and IITs, he is busy devising even more bizzare schemes to damage education in the country.

I think the honorable minister must have had to draw on all his curiosity and have had to work very very hard to come up with so disgusting a scheme. Why is he so hell bent on dragging the country back?
