Editorial: Bloom Where You Are Planted

Dear Fellow Members of Indian Diaspora,

Year 2021 has come to an end and along with it brings the promises and hope of a new year for a pandemic battered world around us. Wishing you all a happy new year!

This is our inaugural edition of WFY (World For You) magazine with an Indian Diaspora focus. The Indian diaspora community across the globe has done remarkably well during the past years and especially in 2021. When the World was shivering in the clutches of death brought upon by the deadly pandemic the members of the Indian Diaspora stood shoulder to shoulder with others in bringing respite and care to the needy. We endured huge
casualties too.

The healthcare industry across the globe is strongly represented by doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers along with the research and scientific scholars of Indian Diaspora. The technology companies and giants have mostly Indian diaspora members in their rank and leaderships. We have an amazing list of Indian Diaspora members holding high offices in various countries. Academic fraternity is no exception so is the business community as well. This would literally translate to the phrase “bloom where you are planted”.

Indian heritage is a culture of diversity and inclusivity. India has been the cradle of great ideological thoughts. India has spearheaded the idea of AHIMSA (non-violence) promoting peace and harmony across the World.

Together let’s make this World a better place by spreading the ‘Spirit of Indianism’. Let us commit ourselves in building stronger communities with a culture of giving and inspiring social change. Let us engage culturally with the help of Indian wisdom passed on to us by our ancestors. Let’s celebrate our success stories, share stories of our struggle and feast vibrantly and make the lives of those around us better. May this year bring you much
anticipated peace, love and health.
See you soon…
