India is a country that is thought of as one of the best holiday destinations in the world. There are fascinating historical sites distributed across every corner, and new ones are still being discovered. It doesn't even need to be mentioned that there is a very rich cultural and spiritual heritage, which attracts millions of people from around the world. In terms of nightlife, places like Mumbai, Delhi and Goa are up there with the best. There is breathtaking natural beauty; rich and varied landscapes, ranging from snow capped mountains to deserts.

Do you enjoy your India trips? Many of us do, but some also do not. Despite being one of the most fascinating countries in the world, a place that most people of any nationality wish to visit at least once, some of us "second-generation Indians", born and brought up in a totally different country, do not enjoy India as much as we'd like to.

Virtually all of us want to see the country of our ancestors, but our experiences from our travels there sometimes leave a lot to be desired. Various reasons for this exist. Many times, we spend the whole time visiting relatives of ours for dinner - so much so that we hardly get a chance to do anything else. When we travel to see places, there are often factors like uncomfortable traveling conditions, dodgy hotels and of course the toilets. The Indian climate can be difficult to cope with. And then there are things like mosquitoes. As a result many don't end up enjoying the country as much as we'd like to. I've even heard people talking about their trips to India as something like a duty to their family rather than something to look forward to.

Yet India has virtually everything that anybody could want from a holiday; whether you're after a partying holiday, a relaxing break by the beach, or want to explore your cultural roots. Furthermore, due to the pound-rupee conversion ratio, everything is very reasonable priced. The question is how to make all that India has to offer more easily accessible to the present and future generations of overseas-Indians? It is a very important question, the answer to which shall play a large part in determining whether or not overseas Indian communities keep a strong link with India in the future, or whether future generations will end up getting estranged from the motherland in the long march of time.
