@@Ghost-pb4ts no???lmao its not about survival. Both of the examples have fundamentally different causes. The people from Ukraine who moved back to India was because of the war. Not covid not anything else. The war started in 2022 when covid was not severe anywhere. it was a matter of survival in that case. But the people who moved out of India during corona, it wasn't a matter of survival for them. The only people who moved out of India were the rich 1% Indians, moving to Maldives, and other vacation spots during covid. It definitely wasn't a matter of survival as they already had every resource required to "survive" in India. It was a matter of luxury.

I immediately got thoughts of Vikram Sarabhai. He had a degree from Cambridge University. Surprisingly he had decided to establish isro besides going abroad for better standard of living. Now isro had done phenomenal jobs in space science. Once he said it is not important what your country had done for you, only thing which is important what you had done for your country.
No, ISRO does not have phenomenonl jobs in space science because their primary focus is on design and development rather than space research, as AIRES and Hanle Observatory do. You can enter as a Scientific assistant or a Scientific officer, but their primary work is on the development side. There is very little research and observational work done there.

Suraj Kumar what you say is true but again if you are not even given a chance to work for your country these petty politics comes in every corner how can you contribute??? do not forget our great people like Sarabhai were there when india was just born they were new in this field government needed smart people so it was easy for them to come in this sector and contribute. Let us say i want my country to move forward and i am ready to contribute for my country but i am also a human and have my needs like clean neighborhood, quiet places, no horn, no traffic, etc etc small things but everyone have different need. A man is paying is tax doing honest work what more you want??? he is doing this for his country in return what country is doing for him??? nothing. so saying this profound things doesn't matter. A citizen have needs and in return he or she work for country can even give life for country
I'm not Indian but I think it's safe to say that most of the people that give up their citizenship do that because of a lack of support from the government, the uncertainty about the future in this country, and overall quality of life. Also, many "developing" countries have really weak passports meaning you can't even see and experience the world. Your citizenship definitely affects how you're treated in other countries, which obviously is very wrong but unfortunately, that's the world we live in.
Yessss weak passport is definitely the reason I'd give up citizenship. My friend got amazing internship in top universities and she couldn't go because of visa and when I went to US for conference it took me more than a month processing time as for my Korean labmates it was 1hr process
We're currently the most populated country in the world and so we have to compete with millions and millions of applicants for jobs which we're overqualified for. Youths face insane amounts of pressure in competitive exams like NEET, JEE, NDA ets., so over here we study our ass off to move abroad.
I think many wanted to make it a better place but many reasons prevents them. I understand their struggle. I love my country but I still had to leave as my people in my country, according to law and politics can never and will never attain equality with the majority race in my county. It's pretty sad, I want to make it a better place but it's logically impossible...
I'm a US born Indian living in India since I was 7, and I've always wanted to give up my American citizenship and take up Indian citizenship, 'cause I love my country so much. But now that I'm a STEM postgraduate and am looking in jobs, I'm thankful that my parents made a better decision for me. It's not that I don't want to live in India, it's that to excel in my field, I need to leave. I can always come back like my parents did, but it's so heartbreaking and frustrating how I won't get quality jobs/education while living where I want to. Not that it's all bad, but it needs improvement. All the people leaving and changing their citizenship have built a great life for themselves, and they know coming back will force them to sort of "compromise". India has changed sooo much in all these years, and we're only getting better, but it's still a long journey. I want to go out, get better exposure and experience, and then come back to serve my country. Wow that was quite a rant 😅

I am second generation indian living in the US. My parents immigrated to America and I grew up here but never felt really American. People often leave for greener economic opportunities but there is something said for culture and civilization. Now my parents are old and quite lonely. I feel they would be happier if they retired in India. I also wish I could spend time in India... Sometimes money is not everything. India is the most rich country in the world in terms of culture, history, religion. I think young Indians should know this and improve Bharat first instead of leaving...
You understand the value of civilization because you saw the lack of it in the West despite material pleasures. Let these greedy Indian youth go through it. Their children will learn the lesson like you did. My parents returned back to India in the 80s. My mother never liked returning as my father had a very high paying job - but my father was clear, as good as the West (especially West Germany), it was not his country & living in others' land was not self-respecting for him. While I initially agreed with my mother's attitude, in my late 20s I began understanding my father's masculine self-respect & now I share it. Live outside for a few years & then return to India to implement ideas - is my recommendation. Most Indians leave for the West to get the NRI tag & so called prestige among their family back home.
You are a minority among NRI's children,... Most of them are already integrated in their host (for them home) societies. Even you, you speak about "spending time" in India, not coming, setting and investing in it. And there, there is the major problem of India that many Indians and their Baba Politicians don't dare to look, and cover these embarrassment with idiotic chest pumping and false pride.
Glad some one spoke up. People dont know the realities and the miseries that people go through abroad. Life isnt a bed of roses. I am sure as immigrants you parents would have sacrificed and gone through alot to give you guys a good life. Some make it some just break and come back home.

You can take the Indian out of India but never India out of the Indian. I lived abroad for 10 years, 3 years as a kid in New Jersey, USA and 7 years as an adult in Singapore. Generally speaking, Indians don't seem to adapt to local culture very easily. Food and social groups are the best examples of this. Some 99% of Indians I've met while abroad still want their dal chawal, pani puri, go to temples/mosques and more. In Singapore, only me and a handful of friends would eat locally and mingle with the local people, the rest stayed in their own little bubble. The bubble is further intensified by language/state - Tamilians will only hang out with other Tamilians, Punjabis with other Punjabis and more. Of course everyone is there for the high currency value that can make you rich in INR. Many of my classmates from school left to the US for college because you can get way better advanced technical education there than you can in India. We definitely lag behind a lot here. Anyway, I came back to India in 2017 and I am never leaving. I am not going to put the effort to go to another country. I love our culture, food, people, history and all her imperfections. This is my home, these are my people. I want the purpose of my life to do everything I can to help make India a better place (not doing a good job here but I'm working on it). We are a very young country, historically and demographically. There is massive potential that can be unleashed and we have talent everywhere. I was one of the people who hated India and wanted to stay abroad but now I love India and never want to leave!

I am an Indian who stayed in Germany for a year as a part of a fellowship and then returned back to India. The one thing which is like a deal breaker when I think of my future outside of India is not only money, cleanliness or better job opportunities but also the sense of respect and value I get as a woman/human being. I agree with that person who mentioned 'you do you'- as to me I believe 'quality of life' means where - my voice is heard & respected; - I am safe to travel to any part of the country/ city at any time of the day without being pressurised to buy an expensive private vehicle; - where I am treated as equal both in professional and personal /social settings; - where I am not judged on what I wear and with whom I socialise; where my basic needs as a human are provided and assured by the government irrespective of my income status; - where the society and the government policies provide a supportive environment to start a family; - where my future children could get quality education which will make them not only employable but also good and aware human beings (again irrespective of my income status) and - where I can breath fresh air and drink safe water easily available anywhere in the city/rural settings in the country. In a nutshell, the decision to leave Indian citizenship for any Indian is all subjective and results from a complex network of economic, social and political dimension.

I read that some people gave up their citizenship and moved to another country for many reasons. Some people wanted a place where suited them better. Others wanted to have interracial marriage or start their new student lives or learn another language, and some wanted to shift their businesses to a place where they could have stable income. Here in Taiwan, some may choose to move to Japan or America, which are the popular countries where Taiwanese wanted to go if they wanted to change their citizenships or live in different places.🔍
@Dystopian Space Saga I'm Taiwanese and have lived in Japan before. Obviously I would never expect them to treat me as one of their own, but they are very friendly to Taiwanese people in general. Will we be offered the same opportunities in a company? Absolutely not, but it is as good as it gets when it comes to being a foreigner.
@Dystopian Space Saga According to my families and friends who have been to Japan, they really like Japan, and maybe they came across discrimination, but not a lot. Many of my families and friends visit Japan many times a year, especially Hokkaido! I also travel to Japan a lot, I like there. On the flip side, one of my family has become a neutralized Japanese, she is a Japanese. Some Japanese were once Taiwanese before, meaning they were born in Taiwan. I was told to become a neutralized Japanese, it is hard, with many rules that are complicated. And, it would be easier to become American, like green card or US passport.There are many Taiwanese who would like to have Japanese permanent residences or become Japanese if they can do it. Also, some of my families have become Americans, they moved there long time ago. May I ask where you are from?
@Asian Prince you don't need to give Indian citizenship to have an interracial marriage. My husband is Indian and we live in Germany, he does not intend to give up his Indian citizenship
I'm 22 and being an Indian man, I can say that, Indian "society" is very restrictive. Of course, the Indian Judiciary has improved a lot in the recent years. But having laws doesn't change the quality of life, especially for women and LGBTQ+ population, it's the society that needs to change at large, in terms of accepting people for who they are. If you step out of the metropolitan cities, inter-caste/inter-faith marriage is still considered a taboo and shameful act!! People go to the extent of killing their own children for marrying someone out of their caste or social status!! We are so stuck in the past that we add "culture" tag to every thing. We should accept & understand that our culture isn't perfect, we can be more considerate and sensible while we follow our culture and traditions. It's okay to scrap shitty traditions if they don't make sense!! Hopefully, the coming generations become more compassionate and make India a safe place for everyone to co-exist!
I am an Indian IT engineer, I am 39 years old, have already half million USD ( 4 crores INR ) worth of assets. For me money is not a reason to leave India, but the quality of life and safety. 10 years back I had hope that India will prosper, but now I lost that hope. Few Indians are getting extremely rich, but the city infrastrcuture is pathetic, extremely polluted, and the politicians are extremely corrupt, in fact the most corrupt in the history of India. I would like to see my India prosper, but India is too big, it is beyond my circle of influence to fix the issues here, instead I am opting to migrate to safer heavens where quality of life is better there. In case if some change happened in India, and the basic problems on pollution and city infrastructure is solved, I would love to be back to my homeland without thinking twice.
The number one reason why Indians abroad renounce their Indian citizenship is because they don't have a choice, as India does not permit dual or multiple citizenships, unlike the US or EU countries. An American can hold passports from four other nations, but it is not legally possible for an Indian to have multiple passports or citizenships. On top of that an Indian can get OCI(Overseas Citizen of India) status document which basically grants a limitless visa to stay and work in India, just losing voting rights.
my parents are Indian immigrants (I was born in the US) and it feels like all of my cousins around my age are leaving India to study and settle in the US and other "Western" countries. I personally feel more comfortable in the US because I was born and raised here, and it surprises me how many of them are leaving the place they are born and raised when it seems like it has improved a lot recently.
Despite that, nobody knows if India is going to prosper more in the future. I think your relatives are leaving now because they want to experience new things and have fond memories of having a good life in their own lifetime before it's too late. At the end of the day, we all live once. India is still a developing country and who knows when it will become a 2nd or 1st world nation. It could be decades by then and my guess is that your younger relatives don't want to wait a long time wondering when living standards and quality of life improves, when they could move somewhere else and enjoy it in their lifetime. That's just how I see it.
I'm from Japan, studying in Europe, never been to India and probably won't for a while. But I relate to the interviewees so much it hurts. Hope everybody who wants to leave can leave soon!

I am an Indian who recently emigrated due to job opportunity. I would prefer to live outside rather than India for a few simple reasons, - Better public infra: There's safe footpaths here & roads with little to no potholes. Driving/walking experience is much higher. - Better public services: Most government offices function at higher productivity here than in India. You won't have to run from pillar to post just to get a few signatures from some government departments. - Better opportunities in non-IT field. In India, taking up a field outside of IT/Engineering is generally discouraged. But in the west, there is more respect for diverse fields. - Lack of air pollution and better maintenance of natural environments: It seems the West is doing a better job of maintaining cleanliness in areas of natural importance like rivers, forests and trails.
Very valid points. And having spent a few years in EU & APAC countries, can confirm this. However the sense of 2nd class citizen creeps in after sometime specially in EU & Australia. No matter how much we reel out on instagram inherently whites look down upon us as not equals. Specially in Europe.

If I understand correctly, Indians are required to give up their citizenship if they decide to move to a different country because they can't hold dual citizenship? How would that work if they were born in India, they would no longer be an Indian citizen? But in terms of the motivations, I know there is a trend of highly skilled and qualified Indians that are moving abroad for better economic opportunities, it's a brain drain that affects a lot of developing countries. Those with the educational credentials will leave to seek better lives so all the country's greatest talent are fleeing.

You have no value for civilization, culture, language. You only valued money,money,money. You have no interest to make the place better just to get somehow relief from it.
To the question on why so many renounce their Indian citizenship, many of the interviewees kept giving answers for why people are leaving, instead of saying why so many Indians give up their citizenship. I think the answer to that is pretty clear: 1. Convenience. If you move to another country, and aim to make the move permanent, then of course giving up your citizenship makes sense, even if feels a bit sad. If you want to integrate into that other country, vote, receive certain benefits, contribute to society, have less paperwork, etc., it makes sense to change citizenship. That applies to all people, not just Indians. If you're not a citizen, you'll always be a bit of an outsider, a permanent foreigner, no matter how long you live in your new country of residence. 2. Better passport. In many countries citizenship gets you a passport which allows you to travel more easily to other countries than the Indian one. So as a continuation to point number one: citizenship means less hassle. 3. If India doesn't recognize dual citizenship, people are forced to change their citizenship if moving for a long time or even permanently. I'm sure many Indians don't want to give up their citizenship, but it's the price they have to pay to get citizenship of another country.
As an Indian studying in Europe, the main motivation for me and my friends to stay in Europe for sometime was more R&D opportunities, better work life balance and an interest to experience different culture. Mostly people stay back and give up the citizenship since it is not allowed to have dual citizenship in India and it is very difficult to go back and start everything from scratch. If I ever decide to stay back (hypothetically) it would be for the above reasons and never for "western luxury", "better way of life" and most importantly "better pay". If I were to follow the latter I would rather stay in India itself. It's funny how some of these people just assumed everything would be better outside just because its not India, without even stepping outside their own country. Thanks for this video for showing the strongly ingrained colonial mindset in most of my fellow Indians.
Finally someone experienced and intelligent said this. I am pretty sure that If they search even a little bit about the living experience in the US or wherever their disney-land is, a significant portion of these people who want to leave India will change their minds. I am currently studying in one of the NITs and wanted to leave for Masters in the US and UK but when I read the student experience, I changed my mind. I have decided to pursue MS at IISc Bangalore and will then think about doing PhD elsewhere.
@Ritesh cheaper medical care / more importantly better medical care , better food , better salaries, better savings , more open people, better climate , better entrepreneuronial opportunities. The list goes on. Maybe the local government/ state government where you reside might not be providing all these. But it's not right to say the whole of India isn't providing these. The fact that you say India is nothing in front of western countries is the biggest evidence of the colonial mindset in itself.
@Ritesh Until and unless someone is too materialistic who chases nothing in life other than materialistic attainments and has an agnostic/atheistic pov and someone who supports his/her arguments with perceived notions and not on ground facts they won't find India a bad place to live in. Obviously there are social, economic, cultural and religious issues across this country which manifest in different ways depending on the region and democracy but it's wrong to say that India is not ahead in any aspect compared to the developed nations(again calling it "western countries" rather than developed nations shows your inferiority complex/colonial mindset). Obviously we are still a developing nation and that means we have a lot of shortcomings too. Just like the one this guy mentioned about the lack of proper infrastructure and work environment for R and D works or doing anything science or technology but we have come far. And if you think the currect trend in Punjab that is celebrating relentless materialism, show-off, women, alcohol, drugs, expensive cars, gun culture and immigration to foreign lands(west/kaneda) is healthy and quite "Indian/dharmika" you are highly mistaken. It is a part of a gradual and misplaced westernisation in the Punjab and to a lesser extent in many other Indian cultures which are slowly adopting, copying and idealising the worst parts of contemporary western culture rather than learning the better aspects from West like focus on science/technology/clean democracy/less ethnocentrism/etc. This is definitely a result of colonialism(which was never properly undone) and of Macaulayism(again never undone). So yes we have a lot of colonial agents and coconuts(wannabe white Indians) like you around this country and the world today.
@Ritesh Also we live in a globalised world today and there's nothing wrong in immigration(based on needs) to foreign lands as long as people maintain their cultural identity and societal values alongside their adopted homeland's lifestyle. People are free to return to the country of their choice whenever they feel like. World is a global village. Stop worshipping what you call the "West". Move forward with the motto of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. Nationalism/Patriotism and Globalism are both parallel and Important and should go hand in hand not one against the other.
Wow, 1.6 million is the total no. Of Indians who gave up their citizenship since the last decade and they're saying 1.8 million only in the last year, their sources deserve a round of applause 💀
My country is not perfect but i will stay in my country and contribute to make it perfect 🇮🇳. I had past opportunities to move to Germany or Canada. But i am happy and proud of my motherland. Good for these people who have plans on leaving India, if you can't see the beauty of being an Indian then it's better not to be one.
As someone from Gujarat, almost everyone plans to go abroad, but just for the money. There’s craze, passion and love for their culture and motherland, and these things bind them to India. Quite sure Delhi’s the last place to look for such people.
I think it's because most people find their peace outside India which I think is the biggest motivator. In India we all are thrown into this constant rat race to earn that social status, that tag before our names, with which we want to be known or our family wants to introduce us with. But no-one really cares about the people themselves. If you're not an IITIAN you're deemed a failure, if you're not doing MBBS from govt college you're deemed a failure, if you aren't an IAS officer again you're looked down upon, even though at the end of the day these people end up being slave under someone else earning above average income at most, all that torture just for the STATUS. No-one understand that for some people doing menial jobs might be the only way out, or some people might enjoy doing odd jobs as well. And I think that's the biggest contributor here, outside India no matter if you're a delivery driver, plumber, garbage man, street vendor, waiter etc. you're treated with respect just like any other person. This fact hits Indian people's inner core after years of being looked down upon by our own people and they end up giving up their citizenship without a second thought.
Many valid reasons pointed out by those who want to leave India in the video. As an Indian who gave up Indian citizenship for an Australian one several years ago, I would argue there are both good and bad points of leaving India and settling abroad. Life in foreign countries is not always easy as it seems even in Western countries like Australia where I live. Many new immigrants often work tough and hard jobs to survive. There is little or no support from family or relatives (lucky my family is with me) meaning you can feel lonely. Then there is a lack of identity (identity crisis) often coming from the lack of a sense of community, culture and religion which you enjoyed back in your own home country. First-generation migrants have it the hardest. These are just a few examples. Grass is not always greener on the other side. Sometimes even I ponder whether or not I should return back to India sometime in the future at least when I hit my twilight years. There are perks of moving abroad while there are also perks of staying in your home country especially if it is not war-torn.
all these things are primary bro,u can accomodate after living for few years but the thing which sucks here is limiting the oppurtunity of Educated ones,low mark scorer are favoured even in prestigious institute against u even if u score 90% marks. Ur ass got fcked by ur hard work but in the end u come to know that some Quota is reserved hence u will not get oppurtunity,other will get.It's disheartening ,no one wants their child denied oppurtunity just because he has score more marks but someone get selected due to Quota even on few marks.
Next topic, Why South Korea is against women equality and feminism including it’s President? Why does South Korean law favour r*pists/ men and not the victims? Shouldn’t a developed country set a better example?
@Deepa Lall ooh here we have a daft nationalist who got triggered because someone is calling out india's problems. Btw koreans aren't against equality, koreans are against feminazis. Read about womad and other problematic radical feminist groups in korea.
@funnyman3510 I’m just speaking the truth. Date rape of foreigners is on the rise in South Korea and I have seen several interviews and documentary where the South Korean police and law makers even refuse to register the case or take any action against the rapists. Foreigner women go there thinking it’s safe but become a victim and their voices are being silenced to show the crime data low in South Korea.
When I was younger I used to be super patriotic and I’d scoff at the people who’d emigrate when they were already financially stable here. As I’ve grown older I’m come to realise that even through the safety net of my privileged background how this country, with its broke system, corrupt governance and warring communities can wear you down if not break you. I’m lucky enough to be in a much better position than a lot of Indians, but even so I yearn for the relative safety, peace and quality of life I could find in developed nations.
Typical cutesy liberal Indian, always biting the hand that feeds you. Maybe if all indians had conservative right-wing mentalities, there will be no problems in India. Would you support a Japanese person showing dislike towards Japan?
I have Indian friends who originally came from India, residing in California, and naturalized with US citizenship, excluding the American-born ones. They lived long for many job opportunities. Hopefully, in the future, there will be support for the Indian government.
Not until USA and other western countries let us implement capitalism. For your information USA is our biggest enemy after china you can ask anyone in India now who have knowledge.
Government supports but there are limited resources for 1.4 billion population. So it's good that some millions are moving out of billions is not a problem. We have 60% population which are below 30.
How are they Indians?, only we in India have the right to call ourselves Indians. Those friends of yours should call themselves Americans & AMERICANS only. If their identity has to have an Indian prefix even after getting US citizenship - then they are nothing but cowardly bootlickers who left India.
Reservation, Vote Bank Politics, Extreme Corruption, Extreme Unemployment, Extreme Poverty, Beggar's Lifestyle, Fake Nationalism, Nepotism, High Population, High Pollution, No Legal Rights(Only on Paper), etc . These are the Major Causes for Indians Moving Abroad. If I get an Opportunity from Europe or US , I will immediately Leave India without my Family.
I disagree, Dispora of european population happened because of over population too but only the poor left to North America and South America where could have labour jobs or agricultural land to cultivate crops. In India nowadays poor people can't even move outside of India, they will suffocate and die in India, even if you want a labour job in Dubai, Qatar(you can forget about labour jobs in Europe and US) you need some kind of connection to the person how sends you there, Highly educated Indians are moving abroad which means now its selection of the fittest Indian, Westerners are selectivily chosing the best Indians to come live in their world. This means its because something is wrong with Indian way of living that people just prefer to go abroad.
@@polaris1985 exactly it is basically the American or the european dream why Indians settle abroad , working in counties like America , Canada is considered a great achievement and many people desire to live the lifestyle these countries offer and most of the people leaving India are mostly successful doctors , engineers , They work in big tech companies , they are successful in their business
I am gay and as you would know that I do not have any rights in this country, that's why I'm moving. No child adoption. No joint Bank accounts with partners. No entry to affordable housing. No safety on ROADS/ mob lynching. No Police support cause they are biased. Now convince me why I shouldn't leave.
I've been living in the UK for the past 1 year and don't have any reason to come back to India. I do miss the comforts of food, family and temperature but, it's all about achieving your dreams making it happen. I only disagree with one point that girl mentioned about people should return to India for the economy. Nobody cares about India's economy while their personal economy is in trouble. We do what's in our best interest. Hope to see 2 mil or more people give up their citizenship in 2023. :)
Temperature here is rain and more rain. We rarely get sun and when we do in the summer it's hot. Had snow late last year and this year quite a few times
As a graduate student living in US, the question of going back has come to me a lot. And with these questions, I asked myself what is my thought process. The living standards is very good in the US but personally it is because I work hard to live the way I live. If I would be given a job here in the US, I would certainly take it and use my skills to climb the ladder high up and take projects or initiate projects that are based on my country. If situation arises that I could not leave my job, then I would help my country by giving them employment by making them a part of the project. India will surely be a booming business for various fields in the near future and there will be many opportunities for young minds to work together with foreign countries.
That's what I thought too when first I came to the US as a student. It's been 8 years now, and I just can't adjust back to the ways of living in India anymore. And I am not talking about the infrastructure. I am talking about the mindset of the people and it's getting worse and worse under the current government. I would not raise my children in this environment.
Most people who settled in other countries have already stayed there for years and have attachments there such as relationships, friends, family, properties or job.
Nah... current rules are ok . We are not facing shortage of people , so we don't care much for those leaving the country. India has enough talent to replace all such people . We don't need dual citizenship
No because if we allow we become Pakistan like all Pakistani gov official have dual citizenship so they don't care about country. People leaving country is not bad thing because we are not generating enough jobs but i m concerned about HNI leaving country and for this to not happen subramanian swamy gave best idea to remove income tax
Not world but the mainstream Western media claims India is rising, a false claim because India is in downfall, the rising country is China not India, Indian youth is right.
It's the same here in the PH. The best talents are going abroad and other countries are benefiting from their great talent. Like our nurses most of them are in the US, Canada, an Europe.
People don't like to pay tax in India but they like to fulfill their duties aboard. People don't like to clean their street in India but they will do everything which is considered a responsibility in aboard . And when they face problems in aboard like war and pandemic than they will cry that why are the indian government not helping them .
Ya know why ? because we don't get much services in return for the tax we pay, whereas in most European countries, education, health, transportation everything is subsidised or free depending on the country, also have other social securities to fall back upon in case of job loss
@@somnathghoshal103 you know what we are not European or Americas . We didn't colonized the different countries and still we are not trying take control over someone else resources . Their ansenster were the one who made their base and please don't ask me how .
Well said, In India Modi should get rid you cash currency completely, when people will have to pay for everything in electronic form by UPI or net banking then hiding taxes will became impossible.
This is where having such a huge young population can be detrimental. India simply doesn't have enough jobs for such a huge young demographic. For eg, if someone holds a Master's degree here and has achieved it with merit, chances are, he or she will still not get a job that pays enough for their qualification and even if it does, the quality of life will not be what one expects after dedicating so many years of their lives to study.
These people can change themselves in abroad but can't do the same in india like following traffic rules, not throwing garbage on streeta, spitting, etc. What an irony, these people then cry why india isn't developed.
My point of view is, if more people leave India, the more Indian people connected with all the latest stuff, which will lead to better economic development and startups will even grow better, because he/she used to get knowledge through all his friends and family staying in abroad.
Isn't that ironic as they are ABLE to leave? Well economic and social status established. People from minority and weaker section aren't rich enough otherwise they would be the first ones to leave this country. That's the fact.
The problem with indians that they have lack of knowledge what's happening outside india. The indians like to get rights from government but does no duties or service to nation in return less then 5% population pays tax but wants infrastructure and facilities like in developed countries they don't work in india and favour labour unions but once outside india somehow they become hard working groups.
A local shop seller who earns in million don't give authethic bill to save taxes. And they want infrastructure like USA and UK where you have to pay 50% tax directly and indirectly. Lol idiot
It's sad at the beginning, the responses are like, "yeah I have" and "I love my country", like leaving mean you hate tour country instead of you just want to explore.
@@priyadarshi8548 This channel always try it's hard to divide India and show how people are unhappy here!! They are serving Propaganda and claim themselves as unbiased media..they are jokers nothing else
Hey, NRI here - I just thought I'd give my POV. My parents immigrated from India when I was 2, and I grew up in the UK, have been a British citizen for a while, and yes, before everyone comes at me- I love India so very much and go back almost once every year during the summer. However, a big part of the reason many who move abroad choose to give up their Indian passport isn't that they don't love their country; it's instead due to the hassle of travel restrictions/forms and waiting in super long queues at the border control! Having an Indian passport doesn't exactly get you to many places easily. In contrast, for instance, a UK passport allows for much more visa-free travelling (also gives you access to less-expensive university tuition and government support schemes, among other things). My family have now moved to Australia many years later, and I'm planning to get Australian citizenship too (as UK-AU offer dual citizenship)- it's just a matter of making life easy tbh
Stop persecuting general category people in India. General category would stay in India. Dalit terrorists are looting Indians. these dalit terrorists are illegal African migrants who slept with colonizers.
@@asianprince8718 the present Indian constitution was drafted by a British bootlicker to suppress the indigenous people of India. A nationalist such as Nethaji Subash Chandra Bose, Vinayaka Damodhar Savarkar, Bhagat Singh and Chandra Sekhar Azad were killed by British bootlickers. The partition of India into Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Tibet and Maldives was done in cooperation of British bootlickers. At one point in time India had better per capita than china but the constitution prevents us from achieving. Things will change if india gets a new constitution.
I think it's natural for those who travel to a new country for school or employment to believe they will return home in the future. But they acclimate to their country of residence, and eventually feel more like a citizen of their new country than their old. More importantly, at least for the hundreds of Indians and Indian-Americans I've known, worked with and befriended here in the U.S., they get married and have children here. Their kids grow up American, and that must be a strong influence on many to become Americans. I'm sure it works that way in most or all countries.
Yeah! Look at how they casually said that they can just travel abroad to see the world outside India, which a lot of Indians like me can't do! I hate these privileged people, the way they said "oh because I love India" yeah jackass if you were in our shoes, you wouldn't! You only do because you are rich!!
that's only the ones who gave up their citizenship. There are millions more who have left who haven't given up their citizenship yet, but eventually will
@@marimar3161 no issue ..its common phenomenon in every country of world..not a big deal.. education/job etc move people even within nation..tht doesn't mean they do not love thr homeplace . India hv 1.3 billion Indians possibly most populous country on earth 🌎
I liked that woman who said "There are Indians all over the world. Isn't that a good thing?" Yes, it's a good thing. I welcome diversity and I find that people I've known who have left India to move to Ontario 🇨🇦 are the friendliest and most helpful people I've met. 🧡 Some day I'd like to visit India. My Father had a business partner in Himachal Pradesh and they started a hydroelectric company together. My Father loved his time spent in India and would travel for pleasure throughout India; he said that I should plan visiting because he knew I'd love it. On the other hand, I understand there are myriad reasons why people leave.
No. It isn't for me because when after giving up one's citizenship and one day u feel like going for a visit to your home as a foreigner even though u r not makes me sick and depressing. I also want to go abroad but I don't fully support that statement.
It's hell for me living in North-East India, middle class & General surrounded by all "ST" status States. And North-East India was the most neglected region of India with no infrastructure & technical tools. Even though I get very good marks, quota system, ST overtakes us. Exam, Job, employees, Govt. Schemes, Scholarships. I work really hard for my future. My only dream was to leave India once I got enough money. People who are living high status & very luxury life still got reserved system here in NE. And general who are poor didn't get nothing. For this reason, I hate Indian System so much. Not a single penny & scholarship help in my Education too. I would never ever serve my Country in future too.
For clean environment and for structred society and institutions europe and west is good, but still is part of racism that can make you feel uncomfortable there.
I don't think racism is much of a problem if someone is not physically harming them . Many indian don't mind when someone abuse them . They just get out of that area , we don't fight in a foreign country
Indian population is too much. Population needs to be controlled. Even if India becomes the most developed country in the world, because of overpopulation there will still be problems and people will still get much better opportunities abroad compared to India.
@@dudedude6690 I think you get that wrong it's the buslims who produce 5-6 children in name of religion and also a huge chunk of illiterate Hindus and buslims.
1.8 million is indeed a big number, but you have to consider our population is well over a billion, it's not that we are running out of people. Yes, brain drain is a problem. Yet, things are constantly changing, and I am dam sure we will soon be more well off in the tech field (than we already are) so, young engineers have lucrative offers for staying in India than just moving to the west. Luckly, we "now" have started celebrating entrepreneur.
when 1% of elite people holds 40% wealth of india and with billion of people population, just imagine the very stiff competition among the people and it is no brainer that many will go abroad to have more opportunity to have better life.
1) Dual citizenship is not an option for Indians. 2) More opportunities in the West for the educated. 3) Quality of Life (?) 4) Government Regulations are too much for starting a business.
The plain and simple fact why people are moving abroad is because they want to experience a new culture and we as Indians idolize the Western culture and obviously more freedom but there are many cons too. Saying that you are going out of the country because homeless are dying on the streets it's b.s.
I mean as someone who is in the process of getting French nationality - having lived abroad for most of my life, I thank my parents for moving out because it gave me so many opportunities in almost every aspect of life. I studied in international schools and also learned a different language and many cultures. I feel Indian but I also feel like I'm French at this point for many reasons - I'm proud to be Indian and its sad that I would have to give up my citizenship - its stupid that they don't allow dual citizenship. But ultimately, I am not going to hesitate to give up my citizenship because it opens up even more opportunities with a European passport. I can travel freely, work freely across Europe. When you have an Indian passport you don't have these opportunities.
India is unlikely to allow dual citizenship as it considers itself a civilizational state. I pay taxes as a third party, expecting facilities such as education, medical services, and civil engineering staff. However, with a significant portion going abroad, it feels like a betrayal to invest my taxes elsewhere instead of supporting my own country.
@@abrajitota3618 To me this is very different - I have connections to India by blood but I have spent maybe 2 or 3 years there, during which we paid our taxes. One can feel like they are part of two cultures and countries at the same time. To me there's no sense of betrayal to leave a place for the growth of someone. Besides, my parents have always invested a good amount of their money back in India so why shouldn't we be able to be considered as both? I can speak the language of the country, I respect and follow the culture while also adding in the other cultures that I have picked up. To me not being allowed to stay as an Indian national is a bit stupid - considering giving up my passport makes me less likely keep connections in the future. And yes, I am aware the OCI is a thing - but with that it's literally a second class form of citizenship.
@@Saumiiiii actually I am talking about students in Elite universities in India. They just use government money to study, then forget the country. And say look India have many problems. Come on man I am here we are here to face the problem(to solve the problem) and you run away. And that you not necessary you.
@@Saumiiiii no I don't think dual citizenship is right. If you want to go then, it's a democracy just go. But if we allowed dual citizenship , our country will become a next Pakistan and we don't want it
@@abrajitota3618 Yeah that's fine - then the remittances from people abroad would gradually start decreasing too. I personally see myself as an Indian too - but the lack of opportunities provided by an Indian passport hinders my growth. If I'm not provided the rights I should deserve - I don't have to give anything back to the country then.
