Indians living abroad-is it really worth it?

[FilledVoid]

That's what I am saying "Home is where the heart is" and my home would be there now not in India !! Moreover, what equality are you talking of in INDIA that too ! I am sorry to say but we are among MOST RACIST country in the world !!

Most racist country? India? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Just by that remark I'm going to guess that you have NOT gone outside of your hometown or probably this country and lived by yourself. Out of curiosity may I ask you if you have any family here in India? Do you have brothers, sisters etc. If you are a person who has gone outside and been more than happy with where you are .... Then good for you. Enjoy your stay while it lasts.

NRI = Not Required for India?

Its rather a common pun used , although I must say that NRI's (Non Residents) usually get kind of irritated with it. If you grew up in Kerala they now call people NARI's (Im sure if you're from Kerala or know Malayalam you'll understand what it means) I usually just ignore it.

I pay all my taxes here in India Only ..

Taxes are deducted from wherever you work. Would you prefer that they took taxes both out of the person at the place they work and at India at the same time.

If any of the rest is trying to justify the abbreviation it won't . Many people make sacrifices for achievement of a better life for them , their family, their loved ones etc. Which is why as you can see its quite a touchy subject. I'm pretty sure it wasn't intended to be meant as the way club_pranay heard it . So Cheers . Don't forget to join #Digit on IRC !

You guys look really upset with my comments ..
Why would I say such a comment?

Lots of my friends have complained about education here.. all want to go to US/UK and do their MS there. Two of my closest friends told me that they will come back and help by teaching what they have learnt here in colleges. result... both are happy drawing hefty salary there and enjoying their life there and completely forgot what they told me.. now what would I say?

Even more disgusting thing was when they complained/compared about the infrastructure and conditions here in india

Why dont they fcuking say : "I want to make lots of money thats why im going there.."

Nah. As I said before people perceive posts over the Internet subjectively.

Lots of my friends have complained about education here.. all want to go to US/UK and do their MS there. Two of my closest friends told me that they will come back and help by teaching what they have learnt here in colleges. result... both are happy drawing hefty salary there and enjoying their life there and completely forgot what they told me.. now what would I say?

I've seen my share of friends go there waste their money and come back. If youre going to learn IT there and come back here to work then its an utter waste. The Indian IT industry barely revolves around foreign MS degrees. But rather opon stuff like hands on experience. I think if theres an advantage you probably have over a candidate is better communication skills? Anyway this is just my view. With the increasing penetration of the Internet how hard is it to get a certain software? Most of them have their sample versions on Magazine cd /dvds in India. I would even go on and say that a person in India who goes the extra mile by trying to learn by himself would definitely have an advantage over any student fromo the US. Remeber Im only referring to the Software industry (other industry like the Automobile Industry , Hardware Industry etc may vary cause thats quite alot of equipment you need access to and you can't download them ) . I know everyone is screaming bloody murder! Stone the person to death now ! But thats my view. Let me ask you this. How many folks you know actually have the money to go to US and study?

Im glad that you're friends are getting hefty salaries and are well off. Maybe they won't miss being in India at all. However I will vouch for this , in the above Poll . Im guessing that 75% of those who voted Yes probably havcen't gone outside to US/ UK etc and 75% of those who have voted No have probably worked there.

Even more disgusting thing was when they complained/compared about the infrastructure and conditions here in india

Considering that india has just gotten its Independence in 60+ years I say we are doing much MUCH better than those countries were doing after 60 years of their independence. The real question is ... After this much time USA is still where it is? If we had better polticians I'd say to US , "You can kiss your rear Good Bye!".

Why dont they fcuking say : "I want to make lots of money thats why im going there.."

Isn't it obvious already? Your post clearly show that they're attracted to the hefty amounts of money they make .

PS: This is my humble opinion . Im not here to to convince anyone / everyone that US is where the Devil lives lol. I'm just giving out my experience that I had at the place. This is not meant to Alienate anyone on the forum either

[faraaz]

I've lived for 3 years in Australia (Bachelor's), 7 months in Switzerland (MBA) so far...and I've loved every day of it...but I would hate to live her permanently. Its just....urrrgh...I have to go back to India as soon as I graduate.

I am sorry to say but all what you said infact applies to you !! Not ME but YOU need to go out and see buddy !! I have lots of experience of being in different cities of India and hence from my experiences only I said, INDIA is too racist country. We sure are racists and we should accept this fact.

Regarding your question, I AM STILL IN INDIA only. So of course I have my family and bros, sis in India ! But that of course doesn't stop me from accepting the fact that we indians are racist.

I am sorry to say but all what you said infact applies to you !! Not ME but YOU need to go out and see buddy !!

Sure, I've always wanted to see more of the world than I have already. But if it cheers Ive lived in 4 different states for quite a while in India and been in 3 different countries. I'm not even go to use my Age Trump Card here (an Irc secret which most folks on IRC know).

We sure are racists and we should accept this fact.

This statement just purely irritates me. I've been try to my best way polite here and some teen assumes that I'm a racist. Say "you" not we. In no way do I judge a person by his location , ethnicity etc. You don't even know me and you assume now that all Indians are racists. WTF ??? Its people like you that give Indians a bad name all over the freaking world. Hell , thinking that you know anything about racism makes you look stupid.

Regarding your question, I AM STILL IN INDIA only. So of course I have my family and bros, sis in India ! But that of course doesn't stop me from accepting the fact that we Indians are racist.

I asked this just to know if you would leave your family behind for an opportunity to go to US and stay there your entire life? I'm not even going to the racist part.

Ohhh Please, I lived 5 years of my life in one of the Southern Indian cities and another 6 years in one of the eastern Indian cities. Tell me more about Indians not being racist.

I'm assuming you were responding to my line.

Most racist country? India? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I never said it didn't exist I've been only trying to point out that it is way lesser here than there. If you would like to clarify more what I meant you can check with me on IRC . As for the rest of the thread I'm out of here.

Ur mood changes with seasons!

I am sorry to say but all what you said infact applies to you !! Not ME but YOU need to go out and see buddy !! I have lots of experience of being in different cities of India and hence from my experiences only I said, INDIA is too racist country. We sure are racists and we should accept this fact.

Regarding your question, I AM STILL IN INDIA only. So of course I have my family and bros, sis in India ! But that of course doesn't stop me from accepting the fact that we indians are racist.

I agree, but a statement like "racism exists in INDIA too" wud be much much better than blatantly saying "INDIANS are racist"!!

We r humans after all. People like to see whats common, "Religion,region,color,cast n creed,talents,operating systems, philosophies etc" , unite on the basis of that n like to protect their interests. If such differences didn't exist, then I guess we wud have treated the whole world as a family, instead of prioritising people like family first, friends second, neighbours third, apple/vista fourth etc. So I guess its not a question if racism exists in INDIA too, but if its relatively higher? But with so much differences I still see INDIA intact and going stronger where civilians forget their differences n unite when they witness harm being done to the nation by external sources,politicians n people like andrew symonds.

ok I agree with you. I should have said that way though not mine way. Sorry for that..

This statement just purely irritates me. I've been try to my best way polite here and some teen assumes that I'm a racist. Say "you" not we. In no way do I judge a person by his location , ethnicity etc. You don't even know me and you assume now that all Indians are racists. WTF ??? Its people like you that give Indians a bad name all over the freaking world. Hell , thinking that you know anything about racism makes you look stupid.

Well same applies with me !! Even I get irritated when people like YOU doesn't accept this fact that racisim is there in India and sure NOT so less as you say. And by 'us' it means in general of course. You should have understood this. Just like you said you don't support racisim even I don;t and hate it. Hence I pointed out that. 'Us' represents people of India. Not you and me in person as you had thought and commented !! This itself proves your attitude towards india !!

I never said it didn't exist I've been only trying to point out that it is way lesser here than there. If you would like to clarify more what I meant you can check with me on IRC . As for the rest of the thread I'm out of here.

Since you are out, I assume you won't reply now

 

[praka123]

can u explain what kind of racism exist in India ?

 

[mediator]

All kinds of! Apartheid, southies hating northies, cast system prominently in south india etc.

 

[drgrudge]

can u explain what kind of racism exist in India ?

Is this some kind of joke? See any matrimonial ads in paper or websites. "Good looking brides wanted", "Fair and handsome boy wanted". We live in a soft racist country.

Another kind is the racism of the north east Indians in other parts of the country.

 

[praka123]

LOL! overwhelmed by responses

 

[FilledVoid]

Since you are out, I assume you won't reply now

I always answers quotes made towards me. No matter how stupid they are.

Well same applies with me !! Even I get irritated when people like YOU doesn't accept this fact that racisim is there in India and sure NOT so less as you say

Show me where I say it does not exist.... Let me quote what I said for you to understand. Here are my quotes

Racism can be seen in India too.

True. But not ot the extent of as much as I have seen in US. Personally I've never faced rascism at my worlplace. I guess I worked with more nice people. However outside of the workplace its a different story. After WTC ever try driving alone on the NJ TurnPike? Might be a bit of an exxaggeration. But still I have had experiences which would prove otherwise. Were any of you there when the WTC incident occured? How about a month later? However I don't blame them ... that was the most atrocious piece of terrorism I've personally seen.

Here is one of your sentences.

I am sorry to say but we are among MOST RACIST country in the world !!

To which I have responded as below

Most racist country? India? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Just by that remark I'm going to guess that you have NOT gone outside of your hometown or probably this country and lived by yourself.

The only thing I say in there is that India is NOT the most racist country you could be in. Would you like me to explain this any more clearer than I already have?

Hence I pointed out that. 'Us' represents people of India. Not you and me in person as you had thought and commented !! This itself proves your attitude towards india !

Where in the world do you think I'm from? What makes you think that I'm not from India??? Are you somehow implying that not you and me but the majority of the general public in India are racists? Again, considering that you assume that you understand my attitude towards India makes you look plain silly. I'm an ex-NRI who prefers staying in India and not going back.

Another kind is the racism of the north east Indians in other parts of the country.

Yes, I have found quite a few of instances where this is the case. But would you call the general public a huge consolidated group of racists?

 

[FilledVoid]

.yes I have applied for immigartion to canada (the long proper authentic way).

Canada is a beautiful place

 

[faraaz]

In my experience, like it or not...everyone is racist. It just varies how much they show it. The racism in India is blatant and very visible. Racism here in Switzerland is very myopic and xenophobic. In Australia, its just Islamic FUD and traditional Aborigine hate. Can't talk about the US cuz I've never been there.

But one thing about the Europeans, they hate everyone equally! Unlike in Australia...:/
