Why Indians Move Abroad Post Gets Mixed Reactions from Netizens

The social media post on why Indians move abroad has gotten a great reach but the responses to the post have been mixed. While a lot of people have liked the post and have agreed to the reasons listed, quite a few people have defended the NRIs and as a counter, have given reasons why Indians do move abroad.

An ‘X’ user by the name of @DrNavhya said, “So fing true! and 1) NOT greet or respect fellow Indians, 2) Lie to Indians back home about everything being “great” there!, 3) Never assimilated with the new nations culture &/or completely act like a convert (in every which way), 4) Not spend a penny on “ life” - just save enough to come show off back home!, 5) Not represent India with pride and elan! Of course there are exceptions but the norm is this!”

Giving an example of Bengaluru, a netizen by the username of @sri5538 said, “South Bengaluru beautiful house has turned into old aged home. None of the youngsters are ready to come back. Just imagine south Blr residents are not ready to come back. India in 2047 will be a 99% reservation country & it will be done & dusted.”

A lot of netizens have also defended the Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) for living abroad and as a counter, have listed reasons why they leave the country. A user by the name of @Rhl15738352 gave reasons why Indians move abroad, “Clean air, not having to deal with corrupt govt babus, non-toxic food, pot hole free roads, affordable best quality schools/colleges for kids, better job opportunities”.

Another ‘X’ user @Rahul_Kawadkar said, “I do not blame them. Any self respecting individual if given a chance will move out. There is no dignity in living here. You're treated like a third class citizen.”

The social media post is being widely shared and a lot of people are engaging in a discussion over the right and wrong of Indians settling abroad.
