But yes, they are citizens of another country and should look to that country for assistance right now and in almost every other situation when they are stuck in a foreign country. Where they are residing in India they can approach the Indian embassy for help. But not expect to be helped before citizens.
But imagining OCIs are the same as resident citizens, NRIs or green card holders etc. is not is not correct at all. It is a glorified visa. as
AJLondon put it.
