Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD)
The Prime Minister, Honourable Kamla Persad-Bissessar, of my country (Trinidad and Tobago) is in India for the tenth annual Pravasi Bharatiya Divas as the chief guest at the event. She was the first East Indain female to receive the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas award which she received from the President of India. Tuesday she was also a special guest at the inauguration ceremony of the Shankara Group Campus in Jaipur on Monday.
Indians from India were brought to the caribbean by the English to work as Indentured Labourers in the cane fields way back in 1845. That is how we (i am indian as well) ended up in the caribbean. We have come a long way from indentureship.
I understand that she also visited the village of her anscestors and she was greeted by over 100,000 villagers.
I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss as i understand most of you are from India.

Kaustubh KatdareGood to know that. Indian Government is also planning to give voting rights to NRIs. I wonder why. -
CE DesignerI didnt know that K, i cant understand why they would make that move. The real stakeholders are the citizens of India itself, not people from outside. Why allow outsiders to have a say in who runs your country. It would be interesting to know why, maybe there is a good reason and we just dont see it yet.

Kaustubh KatdareIndians don't run India. It's run by the outsiders. India's never been free. 1947 was a joke called 'Freedom'.
