You have to look at data.....compare life expectancy of India and US.

In India, people live 7 years less on an average.

Food habits for sure impacts....and your ammamma who is 90 didn't grow up in such an  environment.

If anyone wants to return seriously for any reason don’t think so much. People are pretty resilient. Even kids are pretty resilient. Government employees transfers/ army people transfers lo they take kids to many places. 2 million kavali ivanni lite. Illu undi and some money for emergencies should be sufficient. Job edho okati vachidhi. Only thing is we won’t have as much luxury as we have in US.

India being World's most populous country & not as developed as China will not be easy for kids. People should not think in today's sense. Today might seem fine. But down the lane 5-10 years, world is going to change. It changed 10 years ago. It will also change now. Only faster. World was a better place 10 years ago. Not today. Nobody knows how it's going to be tomorrow. So people should try coming out of their bubbles & comfort zones & see for themselves what reality actually is. With natural resources depleting faster than ever, one should question what type of life do I want my kids to have or how comfortable should I be in my retirement. Indians are economic refugees. Doesn't matter if you agree or not. The fact that you left the country in the first place endorses this argument.

Going to India with young kids is child abuse unless you are living far away from cities.

This situation might change after 5 years with EVs.

Kids born in US will have a chance/ choice to come back, if we are just thinking about kids. And as I said kids are pretty resilient. If anyone wants to go back and has family support they can go back. No point in staying unhappy here.

There are various reasons why some Indians might want to leave the country, including:

1. Better opportunities: Many Indians may leave the country to pursue better career or educational opportunities that they may not find in India.

2. Economic reasons: Some people may leave India due to economic factors such as poverty, unemployment, or lack of financial stability.

3. Political instability: The political instability in some regions of India may prompt some people to leave the country.

4. Cultural reasons: Some people may feel that they do not fit in with the culture or traditions in India and may choose to leave the country as a result.

5. Personal reasons: Finally, some people may simply choose to leave India for personal reasons, such as to be closer to family members who live abroad, or to experience life in a different part of the world.

India does not necessarily have the worst quality of life, as quality of life can be subjective and depend on various factors. However, there are several challenges that India faces that can impact the overall quality of life for some individuals living in the country. Some of these challenges include:

Poverty: India has a high poverty rate, with many people living in extreme poverty and lacking access to basic necessities such as food, water, and healthcare.

Inequality: There is a significant income and wealth inequality in India, with some individuals and communities having access to far more resources and opportunities than others.

Healthcare: The healthcare system in India is often underfunded and understaffed, making it difficult for many people to access quality medical care.

Environmental pollution: India has high levels of air and water pollution, which can impact the health and well-being of its citizens.

Infrastructure: Many parts of India lack basic infrastructure such as roads, electricity, and clean water, which can make daily life difficult and impact the overall quality of life.

It's important to note that India is a vast and diverse country with many different regions, cultures, and socioeconomic groups, and the quality of life can vary greatly depending on where one lives and their personal circumstances.

Do you have any stats to rebutt what I said...other than a blanket statement?

India has been reported to have a relatively poor work-life balance for several reasons:

1. Long working hours: In many industries, long working hours are the norm in India, often exceeding the standard 8-hour workday. This can leave employees with less time to spend with family or pursue personal interests.

2. Lack of flexible working arrangements: Many companies in India do not offer flexible working arrangements, such as part-time work or working from home, which can make it difficult for employees to balance their work and personal lives.

3. High workload and stress: In many industries, employees in India are expected to handle high workloads and meet demanding deadlines, which can result in high levels of stress and little time for relaxation or leisure activities.

4. Cultural expectations: There is a cultural expectation in India that employees should work hard and prioritize their careers over their personal lives, which can make it difficult for individuals to prioritize their own well-being.

5. Commuting challenges: Many Indian cities face challenges related to traffic congestion and long commutes, which can add to the time and stress associated with work.

It's worth noting that efforts are being made to address some of these issues in India, such as through initiatives to promote work-life balance and increase access to flexible working arrangements. However, it will likely take time to see significant changes in this area.
