Diaspora allows people to think open and flourish: Ashook Ramsaran

  The day-long seminar titled “Human Rights Concerns of Indian Diaspora” on 10th January 2013 organised by Human Rights Defense India at Constitution Club, New Delhi saw both scholars and activist shared their views on various issues confronted by the Indian diaspora in various countries as well as within India. Ashook Ramsaran, president of Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) International, New York who was one of the speaker in the seminar mentioned that in spite of several challenges “diaspora  allows people to think open and flourish”. Diaspora produced some of the best minds in the world such as Nobel laureates, Secretary of Commonwealth, best legal minds, scientist and entrepreneurs. They contribute immensely to the host country. The protection of their rights only helps them to serve the host countries and world better. Mr. Ramsar
