Forget people born in India, they want to take credit for people who are only half-Indian AND not born in India. Kamala Harris is the first woman VP of the US. She is only half Indian, and never had any use for Indians except when fundraising for her campaigns. But the Indian media is jubilant about her.
Remember, these people that India is taking credit for had to leave India to achieve their success. Or their parents had to leave India. They are evidence that India obstructs the potential of its best people.
I am a strong proponent of the best Indians leaving India so that their high potential is not wasted.
