They seem to have an opinion about everything and anything that is happening in and to Mother India. Sitting in the comfort of their Dollar and Pound and Euro ensconced cushiness, they have the temerity to tell Indians in India about what is right and what is wrong. Can non-resident Indians please shut up?"
------------ GL responds: I see Tensing, you had to do some real research - dig-up a 2015 article to support your perspective.? Yet you make a valid point. However, specifically for Goanet, that is what we care about, quite a few frequent posters are using the e-site and the rest of us as a forum to dissipate their own internal stress.? The question critical writers need to ask and answer is:? Is my post going to solve the problem or am I trying to transpose my internal frustrations on others?? Most of us come to Goanet to enjoy and share positive thoughts and feelings; and not read the same old - kere kere, however true false the account may be.? Enough of my kere kere! Regards, GL Comment: Last year NRI remittances to India amounted to over $65 billion on top of the economic activity generated when said NRIs come back visiting. In sharp contrast Balance of Trade for India for year 2017 was a deficit of $148.87 billion USD. Admittedly it is not apples and apples comparison,but you have to think that it would be good to sort through the advice being given freely by NRIs and select for implementation ideas that can make a positive impact on the well being of most people.
