I agree in general, but why the quotes? The US (or wherever) *is* the home country for those children - no wonder they find it hard to adapt (although I know several people who've made the transition). The general points are true, but I mostly have to ask why these people are so surprised that it is difficult to come back - they *have* changed and so has India - moving countries at any level is hard.
