Hari ini konperensi NRI (non-resident Indians) dari seluruh dunia bertempat di Hilton Hotel, Mumbai, ditutup. Pimpinan sidang adalah (lupa namanya) Wakil Presiden Suriname.
Pemerintah India berkepentingan besar pada NRI, dan kelihatan memobilisasi mereka untuk pembangunan negara. Di Amerika saja ada 2 juta orang NRI yang hanpir semuanya mapan, dengan penghasilan rata-rata $62,000/tahun/orang. Pada masa jaya-jayanya Silicon Valley, populasi NRI disana hampir 50%. Banyak yang jadi dokter di Amerika. Akhir-akhir ini mereka terjun ke politik, salah satunya adalah Bobby Jindal (32 tahun) yang jadi senator asal Louisianna. Tapi NRI yang paling disebut-sebut adalah steel baron Lakshmi Mittal yang adalah orang terkaya di UK.
