[Goanet] Can non-resident Indians please shut up?
Can the people of Indian origin not living in India please shut up? 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. https://www.dailyo.in/politics/nris-intolerance-aamir-khan-narendra-modi-rajnath-singh-people-of-indian-origin-ocis-pseudo-nationalism/story/1/7685.html
