There is big mis understanding about NRIs. People think that they have left india for money. Truth is India has benefited immensly with the money and tech brought by NRIs. Can u imagine if Ambani, Mittal and Narayanmurty had not lived abroad and learn the technology, where india would have been. Even more poor and multinational sitting on head. Because of NRIs india has so many multinational and power on world. Its natural, once u leave your home and go abroad, apne desh ki bahut yaad aati hai. U feel the absence of your soil. And love start growing even more. NRIs are the biggest asset of india. Look the amount of foreign exchange they bring to india. Its in billions of dollars.

the question is not abt love for nation. Many NRI's have done commandable job and are the flag bearers of India. But, when the same NRI's start acting as a middlemen in pushing the interests of his adapted homeland and their agenda, you only tell me what we indians do. imagine, tmorrow people living in gulf region put pressure on mother india to cut off ties with Isreal and not to have any defence purchases simply bcoz it upsets the establishments of their adapted homeland. is it practical to run a nation as per wishes of NRI's spread across geographies?. is it feasible? what if people residing in ASEAN region put pressure on their motherland to give away arunachal pradesh, simply bcoz thats what their adapted land wants. can mother india accept such things. NRI's r acting childish. they r talking as if we have gone to dark ages and nuclear deal is the saviour. common grow up. learn to broker proper deals. be mature and start talking tough. whether u upset ur adapted land is another issue, ur homeland will always be there for u.

Does it mean that they are right to favour N-Deal on the face of prevailing Hide Act?Have u gone through the remifications of this Act? I am sure no.Any one who has gone through Hide Act will never blame the Left. In relation to the advantages to one or other party ,I can say it is two way traffic.

Lt.Col. Tyagi: You are very correct. This is the bottomline: whether we should give up nuclear weapons for an old outdated nuclear power station.
