Thousands of non-resident Indians are returning home to participate in the world's largest democratic election. As India's election enters its final stretch, with counting set to begin on June 4, non-resident Indians are making the journey back to their homeland to exercise their right to vote. Many of them residing abroad see traveling thousands of kilometers to vote as a way to send a message to those living in India about the importance of voting. Despite the challenges of traveling during the pandemic and the logistical hurdles involved, these individuals are determined to make their voices heard.

For many non-resident Indians, traveling back to India to vote is a deeply personal and meaningful experience. Dubai businessman Ramakant Dixit, for instance, is accompanying his elderly parents to their hometown in Lucknow to cast their votes. He emphasizes the significance of voting regardless of one's political affiliations, urging everyone to exercise their democratic right.

Some non-resident Indians have made extraordinary efforts to cast their votes, including flying back home for just a few hours to vote and then returning to their countries of residence. Despite the long journeys and logistical challenges, these individuals are committed to participating in the democratic process and contributing to shaping the future of their country.
