wants. its not in the least bit bigoted for india to make this argument.

infact if what the couple alleges happened is true, then Norway is being bigoted.

This article doesn't tell the full story, but I'm assuming these kids were born in Norway to Indian immigrant parents. I don't see any empirical, reason-based evidence that these children would best benefit growing up in India rather than Norway.

and indian parents have a right to raise children in Indian culture. not in a norwegians home.

want to raise your children in a particular culture doesn't require empirical evidence of superiority. it requires a logical evidence of difference in cultures, which there is.

indian parents want indian kids (even foreign born kids of indian descent) to learn an indian language. Would this happen in a Norwegian foster home?

i know conflating arguments is your strong suite but had the situation been reversed (indian family in india was fostering a norwegian child, because india determined that the norwegian parents were neglectful), i would argue the same thing.

there is a specific religion/culture/language that parents want to pass on to their kids, and they should have some right to do this.

We don't even know from the article how long the children were in foster care before they were released to a family member. Neglect and abuse can happen in any culture and the authorities should not turn a blind eye to it just because the child has parents who are immigrants.

they are being placed with the brother of the father. this is culturally appropriate for indians. if for some reason, i was a neglectful parent, my brother would be much more preferable to me to raise my child than the state/random strangers.

I am glad they are with family and not in a foster home.
