If ppl care so much about their country then they should stay here and help it improve. Staying in developed countries, they dont really understand the issues and problems one faces here.

How is this patriotic...its just people missing their culture nothing more. Patriotic is when you stay back regardless of better opportunities abroad and do not become a part of the brain drain which plagues our nation.

No offence to NRIs or POIs but that is just my opinion.


@bold exactly .

What is patriotism? Is it staying back and becoming part of the problem or doing something about it? Patriotism and government policies are two different things. When you air your grieviences against the governement it isnt unpatriotic. Your love for country and your frustrations with the systems is part of patriotism because you show care and concern. Most of Indias GDP is due to foreign remittence. It is one of the largest in the world. This is only because of NRI's.


70bn USD in remittances is peanuts compared to what India would have made if many of our brilliant minds had stayed back to lend a hand in the growth of our country. Just see what a single genius like APJ Abdul Kalam accomplished.

If he had decided to migrate too in quest of better opportunities, where would the Indian space program have been.

Pray do tell me how much is the Indian diaspora contributing to the US GDP?? I am sure its several times over the amount remitted.

Because he has the same problem with foreiengers and he is fear mongering the American public that the immigrants are taking away their jobs, corrupting their neighbourhoods and infesting like termites. He wants to deport those who he can, and stop it for others and some sections see him as messiah but they do not know that America is built on the foundation of immigrants from Italy, Ireland, India, Mexico etc. There wont be anyone doing those hard jobs that runs the country if it not for those mexicans or for those Indian doctors and scientiss and taxi drivers.

Ha ha. true. Wese to India ka traffic dekhke hi nikal jati hai Deshbhakti.

Par kuch bhi kahe. Jese hi India chhodte hai, The feeling is stronger than ever. I can not describe, when I talk about India to Americans, I am so proud. I crave everything desi. We even buy/rent houses where we have more desi community. The need to feel at home is so much more. In our group we discuss US politics < Than we discuss Indian Politics and India. 😆😆

That is just the remittence and not the other investments that total up in trillions. And this remittence amount of 70 billion is just a rough estimate from western union. Most foreign remittence are done through other sources. You do not have to stay back to lend a hand in growth of your country. Not everyone has to become a rocket scientist. Everyone who does everything in their capacity however minute is a valuable contribution. Every person living abroad is one less person sharing the piece of pie for those back home.
