Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and other nations like in Africa, where Indian origin people have been settled for many decades, have been treated like second class citizens in their own country. Clear examples are: treatment of Tamils in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Gujratis in Kenya. The Indian Govt should stand up and fight for the rights of its people with the respective countries. Look at US, UK and how they protect the rights of their citizens all over the world. India has a long way to go forward in this direction.

when you go abroad and settle you need to join the mainstream--choice of settling there was voluntary--you have to obey rules and regulations--you cant start throwing tantrums and expect govts to catipulate on religious or lang grounds.nobody is forcing anyone to live as second class citizens--one can always come back.

After 9/11 there was a backclash in US. People were start attacking arabs,sub-continents etc. At that Bush appealed to the nation to remain calm and not involve in riots. in that way Bush prevented riots like situation in his country and will do the same to protect US citizens allover the world.
But what happens in india, leaders instigate people to kill one another and also protect the culprits later. in many forums people like you support the attitude
this attitute has be changed first and should stand protecting indian orgin people in other countries
