Re: India’s greatest strength!
Here is one of the greatest strengths of India.
Indians are generally humble and law-abiding migrants. They are also well-educated. And that’s why they are able to be successful in USA.
Pakistanis should learn a lesson instead of following Jiahdi slogans.

India tops migrant workers table **
India tops the table for migrant remittances, which is the amount of money Indians working abroad send home.
In 2007, Indian workers sent back $27bn (£13.6bn), according to new figures from the World Bank.
The other countries in the top five were China with $25.7bn, Mexico's $25bn, the Philippines at $17bn and France with $12.5bn.
The top country from which money was sent was the US with $42bn in recorded outward flows.
** 'Life-line for the poor' **
It was followed by Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and Germany.
Global remittances from migrants are now three times as large as the flows of official government aid to developing countries.
Total global remittances in 2007 were estimated by the World Bank to be $318bn of which $240bn went to people in developing countries.
“In many developing countries, remittances provide a life-line for the poor,” said the World Bank’s senior economist Dilip Ratha.
“They are often an essential source of foreign exchange and a stabilising force for the economy in turbulent times.”
