Howdy Modi - Uniting Indian Diaspora


As a NRI living in US, I used to various associations like Gujarathi, Tamil, Telugu, Telangana associations etc., But when India was bad mouthed in Western press after Article 370 removal on behalf of Muslim brotherhood, felt like need of United Indian voice. While Pakistani officials spread rumors in Twitter, they kept debunked by various fact finding organizations. But voice isnt enough to make it to main stream media.

On the other hand, India as a nation is so diversified , that each state has its own culture, norms, cousins. Traditionally these differences kept Indians abroad apart coming under one umbrella. Since there is no external uniting force, looks like Modi has taken it upon himself to bring all onto one platform.


As per 2015 estimates, around 1.5Million are Indian Americans with voting rights. Refer https://aapidata.github.io/quick_stats/national_data.html
and another 300K are pending with approved green card petitions.
While these folks are staring at decades long waiting period, Legislation in progress to remove the bottlenecks and address this unrealistic wait times.
Hope the show of strength, will represent as one unifying force, resulting as addressing their concerns.



Crowd turnout

 50,000 turn out in Houston, Texas is nothing compared to 4.5 Million (2017 estimate refer :https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_17_1YR_B02018&prodType=table ) Indian American living in USA.

Last but not least, Anti India forces painting India as a Hindu Republic and instigating Muslims. This need to be fixed.

But how exactly gold is going to help me and if yes, how to invest is something running behind my mind.  So here is my work on it and hope it helps you too. Why Invest in Gold ?  Fiat currency we are holding is loosing its value at the rate of inflation. But before fiat currency, gold is the standard. Based on current technology, its difficult to extract gold. so in the demand vs supply equation, supply cant balloon like central banks printing money at their will. so i dont need to worry about Gold loosing its value over time. On Supply part, As per World Gold Council estimate 190,040 metric tones extracted and another 54000 metric can be extracted from ground.
