Lust for other countries
Dalip Singh Wasan, advocate.
Most of the Indians want to go to other countries because they believe that they shall be able to earn more money and when they shall come back to this country, they shall be rich person. They shall have a good accommodation, they shall purchase a car, they shall send their wards to good schools, colleges and training institutions, they shall get good adjustment for their children and they shall be establishing a good establishment from where they shall be drawing good income. The people who are coming back to home from abroad are telling them very good stories and they are not giving true account of what they had been facing in other countries.
The real story is kept hidden from the Indians. If we meet a foreigner from the West who is visiting India he shall tell us that they are not having very good views about the people of India. They consider that Indians are a crowd, the beggars are on higher side and when they are in those countries, they are given work, work is judged and payments are made to the workers. It must be accepted that most of the people going from India could not get more relations and they remain just employees or workers. They work and then they are paid wages and it must be accepted that these people are not called to other functions and celebrations in those countries. They remain an isolated brand there and people of those countries do not allow them to mix with them.
These conditions and situations are kept back and that is the reason most of the Indians are running after agents who could send them to other countries. If these conditions are known to the people of India, most of the people shall not like to visit a foreign country just to earn money. Money earning is the only purpose of life. If we are not in a position to have honour and a respectful place in a society, that society shall be jungle for us because we like that others roaming around us should talk to us and sit with us and should discuss their problems with us and these situations are not available to those who go abroad. That is the reason most of the old people who are taken away by their wards to foreign countries come back within months and when we ask them the reason of their return, they say that they would not like to stay where people start ignoring them. They like their own country where they are getting all honour and respect and people recognize them. So when you go abroad, you should keep these things in your mind.
