right to vote

So I just read that NRIs are getting the right to vote. This mostly affects Indian nationals working in the Middle East. I think it’s a strange move because some NRIs who have cash, have lots of it and political connections. Those people could end up having too much influence on a country that they no longer inhabit, and may be out of touch with the issues at play here. I thought about this when I read that Anil Agarwal is planning to pay to set up a state of the art university somewhere in India. He’s considering five states as possible sites, and, according to ToI, Maharashtra is in the lead. He has a corporation called Vedanta that I kept mispronouncing in my mind as “vendetta”. His company will put up $1bln to set up the university and the university will be called Vedanta University. I know plenty of NRIs (basically, if you are of Indian origin (through your patriarchal lineage) and living abroad you are an NRI) and I wonder what folks think about being able to attain citizenship and if they would want the right to vote. Personally I was happy to find out I could even have dual citizenship. I did not mind not having the right to vote in India, it made sense to me. If you have property holdings and other investments here, then maybe you keep up with what’s going on and would like the right to vote. I guess I think about the definition of citizenship in this context. Hmm, still forming an opinion, any input is welcome.
