No.. properties appreciate much more in India than in US… for India’s population and limited land, the property prices will rise higher and higher.. 

Yes - but if you factor in the inflation and Home Interest rates they don't make the same ROI. May be you are pointing out to what has been happening in Hyderabad - with inflation the numbers go down huge. Of course not having huge property tax is a plus.

Not necessarily. The appreciation is also due to inflation created at central level by Quantitative easing, compounded by inflation due to QE by Fed plus Reckless Capital expenditure by state governments, which are largely debt from international entities like World Bank and IMF so on.

This is further compounded by black money being held in Assets. 

The whole world runs on debt… compared to US, India always have had higher interest rates.. pretty much double.. 

assets are limited.. when people have money, they try to invest on buying more assets.. 

3- 4 times the population.. 1/3 of land and limited assets.. and people’s buying potential has increased multi fold..

Whole world runs on debt because the Zionist banking cartel made it to. Even then, Russia was able to ditch Fiat for gold and their Debt to GDP ratio miraculously got below 15%

What exactly has increased the asset value during the COVID period ? The population relatively stayed the same then right?

Wake me up when we get rid of rooted corruption. Till then there is no chance of whatever you said happening. Period

Corruption is omnipresent. You think US is corruption free? India will see it's production and consumption increase which will the case. However, class progression gets more stagnated and it's difficult for couple of generations to built wealth starting from scratch. But that's the case everywhere else too. US is no exception.

True, corruption exists everywhere, including the US, but the scale and impact differ. In India, it seeps into everyday life — from bribing police officers, hospitals, college seats, exams, civils, construction, and banking. This isn’t just about political corruption; it’s embedded in the systems that affect the daily lives of common people.

Growth in production and consumption is important, but without addressing these systemic issues, it doesn’t help the average person. People struggle to access basic services, and opportunities for upward mobility are stifled. If this corruption isn’t addressed, economic progress will benefit only a few, leaving the majority behind. No country with this level of corruption has ever become a true global power.

See as Indians if you have money India will always be the best place to live. US lo emundi vayya work, clean, buy groceries tappa..  If you are above middle class rich >5 million$ India will be the best place to live.. If you are middle class or below middle class USA will be a much better place to live..

Returns are subjective, Indian economy is supposed to be growing at 6% or more for the next 20 years at least so your assets will see a lot of appreciation but if you are not moving there ever then there is no point buying or investing in India.. Forget about giving anything to your kids, they are US citizens. As long as you give them good education, they will forge their own destiny and identity.
