Whatever you said is called "Thankless people or selfishness.Given that they are NRIs, simply being 'Indian' does not grant anyone the privilege to look down upon the condition of India and Indians. National identity comes with responsibility, not just entitlement. If you perceive areas where India needs improvement, it’s far more impactful to bring thoughtful perspectives and contribute towards tangible change within the country. Merely sending money from abroad does not solve systemic issues—it takes active engagement, innovation, and effort. Constructive action always speaks louder than armchair criticism.
A fitting analogy would be that of a city-born boy who occasionally visits his paternal village. On these visits, he quickly becomes critical of the village’s infrastructure and traditional way of life. He sneers at the sight of cows and buffaloes roaming freely, grimaces at the use of cow dung cakes for fuel, and mocks the practice of using its byproducts to plaster walls and floors. He claims that, since his paternal roots lie in the village, he has every right to judge and criticize his cousins' way of life. To add to his sense of entitlement, he points out that his father sends money to the family back home, believing this financial contribution justifies his disparagement.
Similarly, for NRIs, it’s easy to critique from afar while enjoying the comforts and systems of a different country. But real patriotism lies in recognizing that change requires effort, collaboration, and a respectful understanding of the unique challenges on the ground. Offering constructive suggestions, engaging with local communities, and being part of initiatives that drive development are far more effective than simply commenting from a distance. Involvement, not condescension, is the path to progress.
NRIs are not indian. Let it be clear.
Most of NRIs are thankless people for whatever India has provided them.
They got education from Indian institutes and get job in foreign due to India's reputation. And now they have only bad things to say about India.
NRI is not doing anything for India, whatever they are doing is for their own benefit. If NRI investing in India it is just because they see opportunities in India.
