Meaning
This reads as a careful, unsentimental kind of belonging. Ahluwalia is not claiming deep nationalist feeling, but saying the country still matters because it is home and part of legal identity, which can be taken to mean loyalty can be practical before it is emotional. It lands for anyone thinking about migration, citizenship, or the quiet compromise of living somewhere without fully idealizing it.
