I think the narrative in the video is too exaggerated. Most immigrants that I know do care about their people back in the subcontinent. The video even criticizes 'brilliant people' for not liking the corruption in the subcontinent! I think the average intellectual in the subcontinent needs reeducation on honesty and sense of responsibility over their attitude of defending the backward and rotten status quo.

This compassionate narration portrays that – once people come abroad, they become heartless bastards, who do not recognize their relatives once they leave motherland. Is this really true?
I think, not only brilliants, non-brilliants as well come to foreign countries to make a living. What else could they do at home being jobless or doing something that would be barely enough to feed themselves?
At least, they come to a foreign country and start earning right away; part of which then go back home, which keeps economy afloat and provide jobs for relatives and friends in the homeland. When will the story of their sacrifices be told with such compassion?
I do not think brilliants or non-brilliants ever forget their parents and relatives, but get stuck in the strange land with boundless duties of work, and responsibilities of bring up their own families in the foreign land, all by themselves. Who will tell the story of such struggle with compassion?
No one.
