It is unfair to call NRIs in general as fair weather friends going by few examples.Not everybody goes abroad for greener pastures but many of us are compelled to take this route for compelling domestic circumstances.... During my stay abroad I have come across number of such people who save every single penny for their family back home by doing all sorts of odd jobs & look forward to return to motherland at some stage.... &... does the writer know what FAIR treatment we receive when we land here?? It would be only FAIR on the part of the writer to check all the facts before making such statements....Otherwise we will get a feeling that we are Not Required Indians!!!!
