/ib/ - India

You're just mad that you ain't one of them.

Imo they are quite lucky because they can pick and choose some of the good aspects of this culture, all the while living in their first world comforts (and occasionally coming to India for a holiday).

We have to stay here in this shithole and deal with all the bullshit.

If you ever feel jealous of NRIs, just checkout that /r/ABCD subplebbit. It's just Indians complaining that people in foreign lands consider them as foreigners…Well, no shit, sherlock.

To compensate for this, they turn to patriotic shitposting on the internets.

Well, I guess the reason this country lags behind as the designated shitting civilization is this inability to process vacuous platitudes for what it really represents.

Consider this, Seeta and Geetha are sisters. I don't marry Geetha and use the rest of the freetime in my godforsaken life to shower praises and profess love for Seetha. It's high-time you accept that you've neglected Seetha and chosen Geetha to be your lawfully wedded wife.

NRIs like to balance their overflowing patriotism just in case the shit hits the fan at their adopted fatherlands.

I have no problem in plebs moving out of my country and taking their shit to foreign lands, both figuratively and literally. Just don't keep rubbing my face in your empty platitude nonsense.

>country lags behind as the designated shitting civilization

It isn't a "designated shitting civilization". It's just that democracy is not suited for a country with a massive population where most voting "citizens" are practically uneducated.

Additionally, the fact that we wanted to be socialists and are blessed with neighbours like Pakistan and Bangladesh doesn't help at all. We have literally been financing the proliferation of a group of plebs who with their high birth rates, low productivity and general stupidity have been fucking over the rest of us and embarrassing us. Malthus was right as always.

Anyway, since it isn't the topic under discussion, I wouldn't go into it further and compare India with China (which had/has similar problems), but let me post a few links instead.

Now, returning to your original point, most of the NRIs and ex-citizens I know either freely bash India for all that it's lacking or don't talk about it at all. A few do express their admiration for our ancient culture, however their views are mostly negative as far as the Republic of India and the current state of things are concerned. I don't believe that most NRIs are very patriotic to begin with.

That being said, there are however people who are genuinely patriotic and have their own reasons for leaving the country. For instance, there are a people believe that they are benefiting India more though the wealth that they invest/repatriate and the power and influence their communities bring. Some prioritise their careers and ambitions whilst being nationalists. Anyway, I don't think it's fair to say that one cannot love his/her country simply if they aren't residing in it.
