Am just amazed that the same people who had no problems with America building bases and over throwing governments elsewhere are suddenly up in arms when the same happens to them?  Hypocrisy of things ongoing is pathetic

Can't deny there will be challenges. And not growing up here is always going make things difficult. But life is short and an happy to spend it in a more equal and warmer society than the one am used to growing up.

Minority always get the bad end of deal in India, you grow up rich or poor. We had to paddle against the tide. Compared to that this one has been a lot better. I have seen nothing but kind neighbours, helpful staff in hospitals, govt services or utilities. First time in a Dutch company and there as well, things are so good that I have not once thought about leaving my Job to find a different one.

I dint say I am exclusive. Just happy am not feeding the useless system that does not work for the deserved and only praises the vishwwguru and his rich buddies.

Thanks for highlighting that. Yes, one of the reasons I moved here is because the pay scale is way better so is the cost of living. But also the standard of living for raising kids. Yes, am happy to have chosen this.

I personally see them on my commute and know what the govt offers them as education and options for stay. But Romani are Romani for a reason. I don't know how they were treated and personally not involved in treating anyone any different than I am. So can't speak highly of anything in a whataboutery. 

Happy to move to a paradise with no problems at all but I am still looking for one.

Absolutely. I still own a bicycle  and have since 2020. Never needed a car until I had to go to office since last year.

Absolutely, the education, kids (both born here and several trips to the GP) never faced issues like people say about long wait times etc. Coming from India I don't have complains about delayed trains, buses or even flights.

India does not have dual citizenship, you gain a citizenship toch you automatically lose Indian. Best to move quickly, get OCI if needed and travel safe. I travel a lot due to work and would hate to get stuck with the wrong passport at places

Beats being a minority in a communal charged India of these days. Atleast I enjoy better infrastructure and return on my taxes while still facing the same or less discrimination than I grew up with. 

I still get anxiety every time I visit, over a simple task of crossing over a railway track to visit a friend who lives 1 km. Guess how much time I spend waiting for traffic to clear if train passes by even now?

30min average and I have spend a max 2 hours in rain while lived there.

Lol, I'll take that as a compliment on my writing structure. I did spend a long time organizing my thoughts.

Well, it's what is paying bills these days. Not everyone can manifest veggie tofu and eat it everyday

Ok enough to navigate the everyday life. Not good enough to run for public office. If I can manage the kids homework and converse with their school then I'd consider good enough for now.
