People of Indian origin

For many centuries batches of Indians had left India to seek a better fortune in foreign shores. Many had left as daily wage workers or as coolies in British plantations outside India. Many batches were traders who had settled down in the countries where they had been trading. For the last 35 years, educated professionals of India had migrated to foreign countries and had settled down in various countries which had adopted them.These transnational Indians have a deep sense of nostalgia, they miss their homelands.They have a deep urge to return to India.They are literally having Indian souls even if they have American or Canadian citizenships.In their hearts, they have a yearning to be part of India they had left behind.They had left their mother land out of necessity; out of seeking livelihoods.And once they had earned to their heart’s content, they had wanted to return. But India they had left had changed and they cannot adjust back to their 'old' home as they had wished. Many send their children back to India to study in boarding schools or in professional colleges. As long as their ageing parents live, they return to India frequently; after that they no longer have a hold in India. Some want to make a monument in their native village and want to return on vacations to India;they want to see the monument they had built—may be a gateway or a small temple. They have deep sense of loss—their long lost culture;the “feeling” of India is deeply embedded in their hearts.The feeling never leaves India’s her sons and daughters.They enjoy reading about India and thereby keep in touch with their culture.We care about them.Indian government's foreign affairs ministry cares for those  Indians who live all over the world. If they are having any problem, they can approach the Indian government for support. Internet has helped the people of Indian origin to keep in touch with their country; we are connected to our roots by joining social networks, by emailing to our relatives, by sharing photographs etc etc.We are thus a deeply rooted vibrant culture--living world-wide beyond the boundaries of India.
