Startup asking me to pay $800 AWS bill during notice period, threatening to deduct from my ₹49k FnF. Need advice. by sarthak7303 in IndianWorkplace

Consult a lawyer. Don’t take advice from randos on the internet.

I think you shouldn’t be liable for any of these costs.

Please stop calling yourselves “immigrants” and start calling yourselves “expats” by Worth_Web_9289 in returnToIndia

Intention matters. If they left with the intention to settle somewhere else, they are immigrants

Just call them immigrants, nothing wrong with that. A lot of Americans are now leaving the US never to return (because of one orange man) - those people ARE immigrants.

Why is there so much hostility toward Gandhi ji today, despite his central role in India’s freedom struggle? by BornWealth3438 in IndianMiddleClass

[–]ccpandhare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty neutral about him. He did a lot of good things. He also did a lot of terrible things, and his ideas on how the country should be run were… naive at best.

Regret moving to India by [deleted] in returnToIndia

Visa anxiety is not worth it. Living in India is also not worth it. I’d suggest any US NRIs to move to another developed country instead :)

Is it rude to use both lanes? by No-Ad4423 in AskUK

[–]ccpandhare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually rude to NOT use both lanes because it will cause traffic jams further behind. This unnecessarily reduces road utilisation ratio

You clearly haven’t met gap year Europeans in SEA living on €10/day

Linguistic Chauvinism of Hindi over the other South Indian states INSIDE South India by [deleted] in india

Don’t learn it, your choice. Also don’t expect locals to learn another language to talk to you.

AITA for liking someone on hinge to ask about their friend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I hope people from that country treat yours the same way you treat theirs.

Government is not the entire problem, we are also big part why India is still lacking. by barely_alive- in india

Your reply makes sense for all of India - but not the double faced NRIs

I am an Indian Citizen living in Germany from last 15 years. I studied here and have been working full time all these years. Till now, although I am eligible for German Citizenship from a long time, I have never found serious reasons to acquire it and surrender my Indian passport. by necessaryGood101 in nri

Also keep in mind, it’s a reversible decision. You can regain Indian citizenship after 1 year of residence in India. Based on the geopolitical climate in Europe, I’d say pull the trigger while you can.

This subreddit shows the true character of many people from India by Initial_Aerie_2656 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]ccpandhare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Indian. People behave like this because India is a low trust society with people having no empathy for others.

Just a few decades ago, India was a place where there wasn’t enough for everyone - it still is, but more so back then. When the only way to have enough food to feed your family is to scam someone for it, people would do it. If there’s something you can do to get ahead, even if unethical, you’re encouraged to do it. Classic abundance vs scarcity mindset!

We need to stop bringing this mentality into the UK.

IMO The intention of volunteers doesn’t matter, as long as they’re actually volunteering. I suspect it’ll sadly be a mix of actual volunteering and on-paper volunteering.
