DC Edit | Can diaspora set an example?
Deccan ChronicleTouching the heart of the issue at the 17th edition of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas organised in Indore, Prime Minister Narendra Modi rightly said that the country’s diaspora, comprising non-resident Indians and people of Indian origin settled in different parts of the world, are our most effective brand ambassadors. When it comes to forming their opinion of any other country, especially if they don’t have a direct connection to it through business or travel, most regular folk anywhere in the world typically picture its reality from movies, food, and the people of that nation they meet personally. Pravasi Bharatiyas, or our people abroad, are our truest brand ambassadors, and it is important that India see this collective, individually or organised in small groups, for that profound power and purpose. Historically, India used to view people settled abroad as handy for foreign remittance, especially decades ago when a perpetual shortage of dollars marked our worldview.
