Most of them dont even know where is Australia, or a Sardarji is not an Osama followers. For them America is Universe. So dont tell us what they think of us- and why are you frightened for?
If you have chosen to stay there so you have chosen your life-why complain? What have you done for India ? Then with what face you expect anything from us?
By the way second generation Indians often have problems like you about India and Indians.
Actually in England a brown Brit is much hopeless in behaviour than white Brits.

Mr Khan, I don't think you read entire article. The last line clearly says he is just 15 (in age). He wrote a beautiful article and shows his maturity level which I envy. Even after living in America for 5 years, which thus far ahead of India in terms of infrastructure and so on, still kept his mother country dear to heart and proud of his background and confident in what we Indian can achieve. I find a leader in him. Hope he will be back and inspire our young children to be optimistic and hard working.
Thus far my observation is India is about 90 percent pessimistic, 9 percent arrogant, and 1 percent optimistic who is on the ground and have better expectation of India. We need to convert those 90 pessimistic people to the optimistic people.
Good job Dhruv. Keep it up. Hope to see you in India one day.

Dear Khan, shame that you have neither understood the tone nor the mood of the writer.There is absolutely nop complaint. And there is no scope of any expectations or the authors chosen way of life.The message is nothing more than conveying that India is no more what it was before.India has changed and so must the perceptions of the world.Not sure of your grievence with the NRI's or anyone studying outside.Sure this exposure does help in conjuring a conciousness about the wrongs in our country be it the police force,be it the roads, be it the attitude of the lawmakers be it the democratic principles and respect for life that are perdominant outside.remember without the exposure to libneralisation, India had come to a despicable situation of being sold to outsiders. I hope you take the author in a more moderate way. Cheers
