Indians in the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia have an important role to play. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries regard Indians residing in the Gulf are a precious asset because they work hard, they are honest and they are also patriotic. The definition of patriotism outside India is depended solely on each one of us. By showing to our host country how patriotic we are, regardless what religious background we hail from, it is good for our survival because they trust us immensely and they will continue to solicit our presence and entrust upon us greater responsibilities in the future.

As Indian citizens, regardless of all our individual grievances, we have to show to everyone how proud we are as Indians, and how can we recommend positive suggestions to our Government. That is what the value of Indian citizenship is all about. Once we complete our assignment in the Middle East, which is most likely for every Asian, we all have to go home and settle down peacefully and happily after all the days of hard work in the Middle East. Even if many of the Indians migrate to any other Western country, they have to be patriotic to be good Indians first. By so doing, the Western countries will honor our integrity and will easily qualify us to be Citizens of their country. The process is long, therefore the more patriotic we are , it is to our own personal and family advantage.

Almost fifty Cities in America the Indians celebrated their Independence with joy and pride in spite of the fact that most of them are now American citizens. This is where the Americans witness our patriotism and support our existence with respect and honor. We hope we are sharing our viewpoints in the positive sense and our readers will appreciate our contents in the sincere objective in which they are meant.
