A recent report in New York Times says that in American colleges, students of Asian origin outperforms not only the minority group students but the majority Whites as well. Many of these students must be of Indian origin, and their achievement is something we can be proud of. It is unlikely that these talented youngsters will come back to India, and that is the familiar brain drain problem. However, a recent statement by the nation's policy makers indicates that the perception of this issue is changing. Brain bank and not brain drain is the more appropriate idea, they suggest, since the expertise of Indians abroad is only deposited in other places and not lost.

This may be so, but this brain bank, like most of the banks, is one that primarily serves customers in its neighborhood. The skills of the Asians now excelling in America's colleges will mainly help the USA. No matter how significant, what Non-resident Indians do for India and what their counterparts do for other Asian countries is only a by-product. But it is also necessary to ask, or be reminded, why Indians study more fruitfully when abroad. The Asians whose accomplishment New York Times records would have probably had a very different fate if they had studied in India. In America, they found elbow rooms, books, and facilities not available and not likely to be available here. The need to prove themselves in their new country and the competition of an international standard they faced there must have cured mental and physical laziness. But other things helping them in America can be obtained here if we achieve a change in social attitudes, especially towards youth.

We need to learn to value individuals and their unique qualities more than conformity and respectability. We need to learn the language of encouragement to add to our skill in flattery. We might also learn to be less liberal with blame and less tight-fisted with appreciation, especially to those showing signs of independence.

In America, they found elbow rooms, books, and facilities not available and not likely to be available here. The need to prove themselves in their new country and the competition of an international standard they faced there must have cured mental and physical laziness. But other things helping them in America can be obtained here if we achieve a change in social attitudes, especially towards youth.

We need to learn to value individuals and their unique qualities more than conformity and respectability. We need to learn the language of encouragement to add to our skill in flattery. We might also learn to be less liberal with blame and less tight-fisted with appreciation, especially to those showing signs of independence.

Question:

Which of the following words is the most opposite in meaning to the word ‘perception’ as given in the passage?

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been highlighted for your attention. A recent report in New York Times says that in American colleges, students of Asian origin outperforms not only the minority group students but the majority Whites as well. Many of these students must be of Indian origin, and their achievement is something we can be proud of. It is unlikely that these talented youngsters will come back to India, and that is the familiar brain drain problem. However, a recent statement by the nation's policy makers indicates that the perception of this issue is changing. Brain bank and not brain drain is the more appropriate idea, they suggest, since the expertise of Indians abroad is only deposited in other places and not lost.

This may be so, but this brain bank, like most of the banks, is one that primarily serves customers in its neighborhood. The skills of the Asians now excelling in America's colleges will mainly help the USA. No matter how significant, what Non-resident Indians do for India and what their counterparts do for other Asian countries is only a by-product. But it is also necessary to ask, or be reminded, why Indians study more fruitfully when abroad. The Asians whose accomplishment New York Times records would have probably had a very different fate if they had studied in India. In America, they found elbow rooms, books, and facilities not available and not likely to be available here. The need to prove themselves in their new country and the competition of an international standard they faced there must have cured mental and physical laziness. But other things helping them in America can be obtained here if we achieve a change in social attitudes, especially towards youth.

We need to learn to value individuals and their unique qualities more than conformity and respectability. We need to learn the language of encouragement to add to our skill in flattery. We might also learn to be less liberal with blame and less tight-fisted with appreciation, especially to those showing signs of independence.
