OIC = Overseas Indian Citizen.
A jargon for foreign citizens of Indian Origin, natural or naturalised in foreign countries, like Bobby Jindal.
There is a demand that OICs should be permitted to represent Indian in international sports. By Olympic rules it might be possible. But should it happen?
There are such OICs in foreign militaries. Should we treat them as ex-servicemen? If killed in action, should they be treated as our martyrs, even if cremated in India?
