On a regular basis, people from India Pakistan and Bangladesh (actually many more such countries) become citizens of America, Europe or Australia. They do it because they have a better career there or better opportunities, and for a better future for their children. No one would call them a traitor, Adnan sami did the same. I don't see how he's not being true to his nation anymore than anyone living out of their country.

That's so sweet Adnan Samy :):):)

Happy Birthday Adnan Samy and "Many Many Happy Returns of the Day" :):):)

And then there're people who despite receiving so much from India, say they're so scared here, they want to leave this country...

But they never leave though, just say it to badnaam it
