Why are you asking only Mr. Priyo? Why not include the other extreme nationalists on this debate? A certain Mr. Vamsi comes to mind. He is the one who believes the entire reason for his current status of prosperity in the United States is because of his and only his hard work. If that is the case, then why not deploy all that hard work in India, which is exactly the question you're asking, right? Isn't Mr. Vamsi a "Jihadi" like he claims all of us are? Regardless, everyone has their own personal reasons for choosing to leave a country they grew up in. I understand the reasons why some of my friends immigrated to countries in the west. Just because people migrate in search of jobs or shelter or peace, does not mean they do not love the homeland they came from. I hope Mr. Rao that you are not implying that people who leave India for opportunities abroad do not care for their homeland.
