Dear Rahul, I've been living in the U.S of A for the past 10 yrs during which I've visited India only thrice. Despite that fact, I still have a fantastic connection with India. My only gripe with this article is that instead of focussing on her daughter being away from home and her emotions related to that, it seems to harp on conditions in India.
Every place is different. From the article, it appears that this author resides in New Jersey. Have you been to New Jersey? I can give you a first hand account of how life is there. It is not exactly a safe haven and neither it is a danger zone. It has its own flavor and so is every place.
As I had mentioned in my first paragraph, I can empathize with someone concerned about their child being in a foreign country. But, the topic seemed to dwell more on India's condition that her real emotions. The article itself is not outrightly offensive, but it definitely is not well written.
