While watching Uri this past weekend at a theater in Toronto, every NRI was in tears and the movie climax was filled with unanimous chants of Jai Hind. While films and cricket mostly dominate the expression of patriotism for those of us living away from India, the boundaries of our sentiments for the homeland are not limited to that.

Whether it is the opposition to NRIs being able to cast their votes this coming election or it is questioning our ability to post a simple tweet about an event back home - the general sentiment about NRIs seems to be getting increasing bitter and restrictive.

So in this podcast, I share a view from the other side and make an appeal about going beyond the differences to recognize the fact that we're all seeds of the same crop and no one must get to call dibbs on the motherland.

Check out more episodes from Culture Chaos where I share stories of my experiences trying to navigate life away from India. You can write to me at culture_chaos@yahoo.com or leave your feedback/review on iTunes. Thank you for listening!
