Whatever you may write like 'The habi...Dear A,<br /><br />Whatever you may write like 'The habits we should retain' or 'The habits we should change' will not make any difference. Because India will never change and will never lift their standards high in the eyes of Developed nation. <br />CWG is total fiasco that everybody knows. Every American is aware of the situation. Now a day if I look at any American I feel as if he is having a conversation in his mind about us 'Look at these losers. They belong to filth.' <br />Indian politician are so dishonest, greedy, unprofessional (in fact this is the reality of most Indians...we only think about ourselves because thats what we learn since childhood). These high profile people were busy pouring money in their bank accounts in spite of several reminders about the project being delayed. <br />In fact...one can forgive them for this mistake and take furious rain for granted. But after listening to the some of the worst explanation by Indian so called politicians my blood was boiling and I was so ashamed of being an Indian. The worst comment was from that ba***** Lalit Bhanot where he proudly mentioned that Indian standard of hygiene is different than the Westerners and its not a big issue of being ashamed. How could he even dare to give such statement publicly. He meant to say that Indians sleep with stray dogs or Indians swim with tadpoles in swimming pool. <br /><br />I am posting the link for reference. Lets watch and feel the pain of being Indian the way I am feeling. <br /><br />www.ndtv.com/video/player/news/cwg-from-tall-promises-to-fallen-bridges/165150Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-68291312488860065312010-09-22T07:50:52.064-04:002010-09-22T07:50:52.064-04:00@Samvedna:- Yes some NRIs are more traditional tha...@Samvedna:- Yes some NRIs are more traditional than people in India. Some follow the same tradition as they used to years back when they left India. India has changed but the traditions are kept alive here. Thanks for pointing out.<br /><br />@Bik:- I agree but very unlikely NRI politicians will become corrupt. Very very unlikely because they want to maintain clean image. May be if more than 50% of Congress is NRIs, then there is a chance but we are a very small number so that is not going to happen in near future. <br /><br />Where in Oz did you meet this family? Queensland, Northern part of NSW and South Australia - all of them have a sizable Sikh population in the country. I have actually stopped by at a Sikh family house in South Australia in wineries. Around 100 families in that village and all of them come 200 years back - i think so but not sure but for sure several generations back. They maintain sikh culture pretty well.<br /><br />@Neha:- Yes. NRIs are very close to roots. Just one point, I have not seen many NRIs mingling with Pakistanis...mostly they stick with their own communities..Gujjus, TATA (Telgua), Tamil ...all states.Amrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023510703283897521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-79715514602117182002010-09-22T05:52:05.904-04:002010-09-22T05:52:05.904-04:00I keep discussing this with my NRI friends..in fac...I keep discussing this with my NRI friends..in fact 2-3 blogs that I follow are of NRIs..it always feels wonderful to read how much they try to be as close to Indian roots as possible..yes, some prefer to mingle only with indians, pakistanis or like Insignia said - their community people, but things are changing now..<br /><br />nice post :)Nehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08986954472494568567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-4863658177173758812010-09-22T05:30:22.265-04:002010-09-22T05:30:22.265-04:00Well said and all the points are so true ...

I have seen a lot of 2nd and 3rd generation Indians very keen on going to India. Please note we have a large Indian population here and practically we live in India from culture and people perspective. Grocery store, gas station, doctor, dentist.work..pretty much every where we deal with Indians. We celebrate Indians festivals too.<br /><br />In Germany Indians population is small and hence NRIs in Germany have to change to become part of locals. Speaking German is essential to start with.<br /><br />Thanks for comments. It is another perspective we need to think.Amrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023510703283897521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-73251531487989113582010-09-21T15:14:00.858-04:002010-09-21T15:14:00.858-04:00I agree to this post completely.I agree to this post completely.sujata senguptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101153080266818022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-59121097669381625632010-09-21T10:20:47.274-04:002010-09-21T10:20:47.274-04:00This is the same situation any where in the world....This is the same situation any where in the world.This attraction to the parent country will probably last till this generation.For their children,probably there is nothing much to remember.My brothers children were born and brought up in Germany.They take it as an ordeal to come to India on vacation.After few days,they pack up and go back,earlier than planned.I also know of people who don't like to be reminded of their origins.dr.antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191095888228061156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-82447436800391646402010-09-20T19:39:19.466-04:002010-09-20T19:39:19.466-04:00@NRIGirl:- Is not it cool to be able to write such...@NRIGirl:- Is not it cool to be able to write such wonderful things about NRIs?

About mingling with local Americans, there are several reasons. Hesitation is on both sides - partly on Indians with partly with others. Main reason I see is lack of common topic to discuss. A lot of Americans discuss Basketball, Football, Weather etc where as Indian discussion are more children, school and politics.
