If NRI taking part in politics improves the lot of people residing in India, I do not see any reason why NRI should not be in politics. Idea is to build a better and prosperous India for brighter tommorow for all Indians!

No NRIs should not be allowed in politics. Investment is different from politics since they are helping us in investment it does not mean they will help in our countries growth. Even our own people are not helping us how can we expect the others to help us......

I see no harm, but, frankly I do not feel that an NRI will become a successful political leader at least for a few years more. Most of India's votes come from economically backward areas, because majority of the city population do not vote for some reason! This is the reason why most of India's mass leaders rise from smaller and backward areas, because they appeal to majority of the voters. An NRI leader will not appeal to Indian masses.

An NRI leader will become a case just like Shashi Tharoor, who just did not fit in!

Instead, NRI's will do much better in back office politics, like the secretariat - "The brains behind the politicians".

NRI or Non Reliable Indian, this is a stamp given to NRI’s by Indians living in India. And as far as the current Indian politico environment is seen, being Non Reliable fulfils the category of getting a ticket to party candidature.

The plus for NRIs is that (a) they may (not definately) have seen and absorbed better systems for governance and administration, and their actual implementation and operations; and (b) they may not have a requirement for a career when they return, i.e. more time to indulge in service to the nation per se. This does not mean that just being a NRI makes a person fit to be a meaningful politician - far from it!

The basic problem is that even in the unlikely event that an NRI can win a seat, just an individual or even a handful of such individuals cannot make any difference in the system. I think that to be able to contribute, they need to be a part of a political party - and there lies the catch. Political parties - at least mainstream parties have enough internal strife to distribute tickets amongst their members, and giving tickets to potentially good administrators is of no concern in theie electoral process! Getting the 'right' candidate - even if they are shady or downright criminals - is their key to seat strength and power. Who cares for good governance?

So what can be done to better the exisiting state of affairs? I really don't know. Just being a resident or non-resident doesn't help...

After Indian government changed its economic policy in 1991, many NRI were invited to invest in Indian market. Even recently Karnataka government has conducted Global Investor Meet to attract foreign investment into India, which is more to do with NRIs investment.

Many NRIs are interested in coming back to India. They closely follow Indian politics, highly educated, have sound understanding of international politics and knowledge on various foreign policies. This will make them a better choice than aged existing politicians.

mr. suresh asher, i do not agree with your statement ac the nri are no different from us as human being. like us, they are living their life in a different country, and enjoying the fruits. they are already having dual citizen ship. We and our country provides them each facility and preference, even more than local habitants.i think, thats enough, they are welcome, but let politics be with locals

Hi ... everybody.

One Mr Sashi Tharoor, an NRI joined politics in India - India could not progress due to his joining.

That does not mean all NRIs may not succeed and may not work for Indians who maily lives in villages, semi-urban places.

 Expected that s/he will feel the pulse of his countrymen, understand country's  core culture and tradition, her wants and aspirations.

Actually, a persons joins Politics when s/ he feels an urge to bring  some betterment for the countrymen and s/ he brings in all resources, men and idea in this direction.

If the above is possible for an NRI, s/ he may join politics of his/her own, unmindful what 'bloggers' on TooStep are suggecting. Thanks

NRIs may not have sufficient time to focus on political activities in India as they focus most of their time outside India. They can follow various activities in India and they can invest in India, but for political activities you need to invest your own time in your specific constituency to understand the issues prevalent among the population of the constituency. By being away from the main stage and controlling the constituency remotely, the outcomes will not be very satisfactory. However, they can play a role in politics, if they plan to get back to India or provide support to another candidate who is closer to the masses in the constituency......

Most of NRIs that I have met USA are insecured and not so confident kind. Also many do not feel positive about India's future. 4 out of 5 NRIs follow only one aspect economics $1=Rs 46/47/48.... Though they are highly educated they neither understand social and/or economic condition of India and the world.

If you feel that these guys can change India, think again.

As per experience with NRI's No signicant changes could happen in Indian politics. Existing politicians can handle India better. Our democracy based on our constitution. IF OUR POLITICIANS UNDERSTAND INDIAN CONSTITUTION BETTER surly India will be in the line of developed nations in the world. No need of these NRI's or any outside nationals to build better India.
