How I got my daughter to love India and stay close to her roots

I am often asked this question by Indian moms but have never given a detailed reply. Let me try today. My daughter was six months old when we moved to Singapore.

Thanks to the imprint of Indian civilization, it often felt like a city in India but with a government that works exceptionally well.
