The Global Indian
India is the only country that has an official acronym for its expatriates — NRIs, or “Non-Resident Indians.” It is also the only country whose government organizes an annual celebration aimed at making its expatriates feel welcome to return home.

KOCHI, INDIA – No other country has anything like it – an annual jamboree of its diaspora, conducted with great fanfare by its government. India has been doing it, with great success, for a decade, timed to recall the return to India of the most famous Indian expatriate of them all, Mahatma Gandhi, who alighted from his South African ship in Bombay on January 9, 1915. As I write, the southern port city of Kochi is overflowing with expatriate Indians celebrating their connection to their motherland.
