List of Non-resident Indians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Non Resident Indians (NRIs) are people who are ethnically Indian but live outside India. This includes people who have migrated recently who might be holding an Indian or foreign citizenship, and descendants of those who migrated primarily in the 19th and 20th centuries who probably will be holding a foreign citizenship.
