Washington: As the number of Indian students killed in violent attacks in the US has increased since the beginning of this year, former CEO of PepsiCo Indira Nooyi has given advice to Indian students. “Be careful. Respect local laws. Do not use drugs. Don’t drink too much. If you do these things, you can ensure your safety in this country,” he said.
He recorded these comments as a video and shared them on his X page. In the video, which runs for over 10 minutes, Indira Nooyi spoke: “Be careful. Respect local laws. Do not use drugs. Don’t drink too much. By doing these things you can ensure your safety in this country.
Why I am talking to you through this video is that recently I have been reading a lot of news regarding the tragic outcome of Indian students. So I am publishing this for the benefit of Indian students who are already studying here and students who want to study in America.
Keeping your life safe is in your hands. Don’t go alone to uninhabited areas at night. Don’t get addicted. Don’t drink too much alcohol. This is a recipe for disaster. Likewise, students who want to come to the US should carefully choose the university where they want to study. Students studying in the US from India may have to make a big cultural transition at first.
Be very careful in the first few months when you come to study in America. Be very careful about the friends you choose. Be careful with all the new habits and cultural changes you are introduced to.
With a newfound freedom comes the urge to test everything. Be very careful with it. Indian students are generally hard workers but sometimes some get down to idleness and then get addicted to narcotic substances like fetanyl.
Phedanil is very dangerous. I repeat very, very dangerous. It can take a toll on mental and physical health. Your future will be ruined. Please don’t even touch intoxicants. Most importantly do not engage in any of the listed illegal activities. Know the law and live within the law. Always be aware of the consequences of an action you take while in a foreign country.
Know your visa status. If it allows for part-time work, do it. Don’t break the law. Find out what a foreign student can and can’t do in the US.
Go in groups when you go out. Avoid going alone. Don’t go out late at night. Don’t go to uninhabited places. “Don’t go to dark places,” he advised the students.
9 deaths so far: It is noteworthy that 9 people from India have died in the United States so far this year. In the context of increasing incidents of attacks on Indian students day by day, Indian embassy officials in Washington have held a video conference with Indian students across the United States. It seems that the authorities have given necessary instructions to the Indian students.
It is in this context that PepsiCo’s former CEO Indira Nooyi, who studied at school in Chennai of Indian origin, has recorded her advice to Indian students in America and those who want to come to America through a video.
