RE:RE:RE:US

Mr. Sundar:

Yes, many IIM graduates are refusing US jobs and taking jobs in India. Excellent!!! But you should understand that the decision whether to stay in India & abroad is a personal decision and no person of any country has a right to question that decision. After all isn't that what democracy means? It is the freedom for which we have fought for centuries.

Just think of Ms. Panchal, she is just 26 and was in India, which has lots of opportunities. But she chose to study in V Tech and she never might have thought that she was risking her life. Who would know what she may have had for India tomorrow. She didn't live enough to show the rest of us what potential she had. For that matter everyone who got killed in this massacre, none of them had a chance to live enough.

On a different note don%u2019t you forget that it is the so called NRIs who fled to US or else where in late 1980%u2019s have changed the attitude of other countries towards India. Indians/India is no longer looked down upon. We are being looked at someone who has the potential. A country which could possibly be a super power in few decades. Yes, I agree we have grown a lot indigenously but the major push came from other nations having interest in India, and it is these NRIs who have exposed India to the rest of the world.

The bigger question here is how can we deal with the inhumanity or the mind set of these killers? How could we preach peace? How do you show these killers that they have achieved nothing killing people%u2026be it Kashmir, be it Iraq, be it WTC, or be it the latest killings in V Tech.

It would have been more beneficial to everyone if this blog discussed such issues%u2026.rather than cursing the dead.

Jai Hindh!
