How can one change his/her own mother? Will you dare to change your mother? In my opinion I would say its the greatest sin if you change your citizenship for whatever reason, either you are living abroad for several years or you give birth to a child in a foreign country.
I have come across people who have changed their citizenship shamelessly from proud Indian to be British and you know they make fun about India's education system and development shamelessly. They have forgotten that Mother India was providing them all the opportunity to grow and also to be in the current status.
What is that you get in changing citizenship? Status? Pride? I don't think so. You may be feeling proud in between your own Indian pals that you are British or American or Australian, but will your own citizens feel proud about you? May be on the surface but not in depth. Remember if you bark like dog you will not be one.
When my daughters were born many people asked me why cant I get Japanese citizenship for them. We cannot get in Japan thats a different question, but even if we could, I don't want to give up my identity as Indian. I am proud to be an Indian.
Request for those who have already converted to other nationalities: Please do not talk shame about India, if you can do some thing to improve India, get to do it and show her your gratitude, else shut everything up and be quite.
Request for those who are considering to get converted: Please think and ask yourselves, will your mother be happy if you try to change somebody else as your mother?
I am not saying you not to live abroad, one can live abroad, but as a proud Indian.
