I've seen several posts on this subject over the last few days. Some are aghast at the thought - simply because they've seen or have been subjected to "sermons" from their NRI friends and family that illustrates all the "ills" of their homeland. Some are thrilled as they think they can be a major influence. If you ask me for my opinion - the first reaction is that of confusion and the question "why" ?
Why do we think this is a good option ?
Is it because this gives a "feel good" factor for the NRI ? Do the small number of votes really matter when it comes to a decision ?
Is it because this will allow the government to raise a "tax" at some time in the future ? I mean, if you want to exercise your franchise - should you not pay a small bit to the country that gives you this franchise option ?
In all probability, there is a much simpler answer to the question "why ?" - maybe it just DOES NOT make a difference ?
