Real Indian culture is followed by NRIs

In India we have to advise everybody to follow our culture and rich heritage. But one thing I have noticed is that the NRIs, in the place where they stay follow our culture than resident Indians. May be because of the nostalgic feelings. In foreign countries, where Indian are in large numbers, they are following our culture and heritage and they even celebrate all the festivals including the regional festivals of our country with great joy and happiness than we resident Indians celebrate. We resident Indians blindly try to implement western culture as part of our life and the medias, specially the visual medias are also encouraging western culture. I remember the wordings of a former Union Minister in one of his speech mentioned about the NRIs. He was telling "There are two types of Indians, one is NRIs.i.e. Non Resident Indians. other category is Non Indian Residents who are Indians but follow the western culture". How these Ministers can advise about following Indian Culture? First they should try to follow our culture. A good number of Union Ministers have done their education in abroad and their children are also studying there. Then how dare they advise the common people to follow Indian culture. We the common people are always following our rich culture and heritage. JAI HIND.
