Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:
Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.
Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.
You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.
Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.
Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.
As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.
Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu
Tiruchirappalli's new airport terminal goes live today
Looks wonderful.
Especially with the emphasis on local culture & design elements.
And I hope the young new minister of Civil Aviation @rammnk will set new records in the creation of new, modern airports around the country!

Very sad to see an honest and able adminstrator turned politician Shri @VKPandian_ calling it quits. I saw him as an alter ego of Shri @annamalai_k who both had similar careers in civil services before turning politicians. The campaigns of BJP against BJD was despicable and the ones against @VKPandian_ were specifically hittig below the belt and not in a good taste. People of Odisha succumbed to this despicable, racial campaign of BJP. Shri @Naveen_Odisha has given a clean governance for the last two decades and changed the face of Odisha nationally. I do not think BJP would be able to continue the same level of good governance that Shri @Naveen_Odisha brought to the table. People of Odisha will regret their decision for a long time to come!!!
BJP, in its greed to conquer the seats, lost a good and reliable ally in @Naveen_Odisha . He is a great statesman who put nation's interest above all. Though he was not offically part of NDA, he shared a great rapport with Shri @narendramodi and has supported them on several issues of national interest.
Waiting to see how BJP's leadership handles this transition and who they select as the CM of Odisha !!!

BJP Supporters like me were unhappy after Modi 3.0 verdict because BJP did not cross 272 on its own.
Now we hear that Annamalai could be made a minister, which is a great opportunity for him, but it is making us unhappy again, for we want him to be here, building BJP in TN.
Strange.
