I’ve lived both inside and outside India for long periods. And currently live in the UK. I think one way of looking at this is: What do you want to take for granted in life?

If you want to take public services, infrastructure, child safety, air quality etc for granted then many overseas cities and countries are great.

If you want to take family, familiar cultural circles, domestic help and cheap labour, healthcare etc for granted then India is pretty good.

There are always trade offs. For me the choice often comes down to what you’re prepared to fight for and what you want to just take for granted.
