Responsibility towards NRIs???

The recent news about Mr. Suryanarayana who was shot by the Taliban is now focusing on minor issues with the regional media trying to add masala by bringing out the story of another lady claiming to be his second wife.When we were watching the news, my sister immediately pointed out that the story is similar to an Ekta Kapoor serial and then mummy and daddy discussed if the lady was speaking the truth or not… The news channels then interviewed legal experts to know if the second wife would get any compensation.. meanwhile the first wife is in the hospital after a suicide attempt.Yes.. all this may give Ekta Kapoor some inspiration for a new serial.. but what I’m trying to say is that one issue is being missed out amongst this drama.. the issue of Indians working abroad..their safety..their rights..
I recall that during the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas last January, some of the NRIs have raised issues such as safety for the Indians abroad. Last heard was that the concerned minister didn’t even attend the meeting which left them furious.Some argue that when Indians have left the country on their will and have settled in another country our responsibility towards them is over as we have a lot of security issues within our country as well. But if I can bring in an analogy over here which is of a girl who leaves home after marriage...Why cant we think the same for Indians working abroad?If they are a part of the Indian delegation, it is obviously the responsibility of the government but even if that Indian is not part of the Indian delegation (as in the present case of Mr. Suryanarayana) can the government do something about them?There are numerous Indians in the Saudi and Middle east who are being exploited but they are not in a position to approach anybody for help.
I know with the fair amount of problems at home, India cant really spread its protective blanket over all Indians around the world. This really got me thinking as to what India can really do. I read this article which suggested that: “Apart from asking Kabul to provide security as well as negotiating the deployment of Indian paramilitary troops where needed, New Delhi could beef up intelligence and the presence of un-uniformed personnel, who will work in an unobtrusive manner to gather information on security threats.”
It maybe idealist thinking but I wish the government takes some serious steps for the cause of Indians abroad.
