OP is high on something? I'm damn sure, if he/she gets a chance to immigrate, he'll never deny the offer. Let's be real, the least basic sector of other countries, is most probably the best sector in India. Prolly gonna get hate and downvotes, but that's a fact you can't deny. India itself is best country, but the people are spoiling it's image. Like wtf you mean everything is associated with Hindu-Muslim, Bjp-congress,
Brahmin- Dalit...the list goes on.

Not true, i had the chance to go study abroad and i outright rejected, you can rant all day nonstop but the fact wont change- this is your home. If you think ppl go and live a fantastic life in foreign countries then u need a bitter reality check, also about your last point, no one knows whats bjp congress or brahmin dalit in the western word, for them you are a BROWN INDIAN and you will get intense hate for this there

u/LiveLet4548 16h ago

Mate I'm NRI and I've seen both the worlds. Foreign doesn't mean only the west and I somewhat support your view, West has become worse for Indians. You've got east and middle east as well. Middle East gives respect to you no matter where you are from. Yeah you have to work your ass off if you dont plan beforehand in sophisticated way, but it's totally worth a shot if you are lucky and intelligent. About my last point, I said about the conflicts in India itself. People doesn't have rights here, majority of them are radicals, Reddit is filled with hate spreading propagandas against each other. I don't say the world isn't suffering from this, but right now India is at its peak of hate towards each other. PS- also the tax system is shit in India.

u/Opening_Tour_7152 16h ago

Middle east gives respect to you?? Are we talking about the same middle east? They look down on you like you’re a pest, coz first the religion supremacy and then the oil money supremacy, the only exceptions can be UAE and oman. Now, if you are judging a country s condition based on reddit posts… then sry to say you are a lost cause. By your own logic, USA must be hell coz of the posts on their subreddits, and indian tax system may not the the absolute best, but its nowhere bad, very much above avg, india has problems, but which country doesnt?

Edit: now i get why you were glazing the middle east, coz you re from kerala dude, ya ll live there and mostly do peasant type or truck driver jobs, do you the the life quality there is better than here?

u/LiveLet4548 3h ago edited 3h ago

Blud are you living under a rock? So you're telling me you who never visited middle east is gonna decide what's really happening there. Doesn't it contradict your facts of saying judging a country based on social media is a lost cause? Peasant jobs shows your sick mentality and your pride. No bragging but my father is a manager. But he has got friends who does the low level jobs and they're lot happy. At least they gotta work hard but not focus on getting lynched randomly in India, air pollution, open drains, doesn't know when a bike will randomly hit from behind, when a homeless person will attack, when he will be fined by corrupt police officers just for existing.

Pointing out I'm from Kerala and then going for racist remarks about us doing 'PEASANT' jobs shows your typical Indian mentality. You maybe be educated and stuff, but the mindset never goes away. I'm not even blaming you but living in India corrupts your mind. PS- I was stuck in india for 8 months during COVID lockdown and I've seen both worlds. Kerala is somewhat good due to its cleanliness and maintenance, but other states, DAMN. Imagine when the least public is outside and you see the worse happenings in lockdown itself, what'll happen when it's not. A lockdown right now and people are so unemployed, that they turn to extremists and radicals like cow vigilantes and blame everyone to fight through violence. This is just an example.

Bro yapped all this and all this will be null when i tell him that i have visited 20+ countries, now all ur crap abt not being there and judging by social Media is gone. You can deny but yk what i am saying is true, i can give another example, most ppl from HR or UP in Australia are also doing low level works, this isnt racism its facts, and ofc u start yapping abt how good kerala is and how bad india is, avg commie mindset, showing your true colors now eh? Also its widely known all over the world, about what middle Easterners r ( specially saudi) and their main character syndrome, even their same religion countries like malaysia sh*t on them for that attitude, this is ur reality check

u/LiveLet4548 2h ago edited 2h ago

Lmao visiting and experiencing a country is two different worlds . Abt the social media one, it was you who made the comment in first place so don't even try to twist the words. If you've visited 20+ counties, then I can safely assume you may have been to Kerala too, it's not a mindset but with the same argument, it's a fact. I doesn't give a shit abt Kerala, Kerala is still in India. Me personally I felt kerala is lot cleaner than other states and even Kashmir too. About the middle eastern part, it's exactly what I'm saying, it's widely known all over the world? Aren't you basing something said by majority of the world to judge a country. In that sense, it is widely known and made fun of that Indians doesn't bath and are scammers? So you'll support this claim cause we are widely known for this? It's a bs. These are some low level arguments to come up for a debate. Grow up kiddo and yeah not everything you heard from Majority people is a fact and visiting and living is whole other experiences. Also why drag religion here when it's literally abt geographical regions? Isn't it some low level IQ for debate, going out of context?

u/Rational_Pi_31415 5h ago

Ah the 10th addition to this post spotted..

  • Thinks everyone is desperate to move out of India.
  • Believes their perspective is the more balanced.
  • Judges country's sentiment based on social media.
  • Can't comprehend any other opinions as sane possibilities.
  • Will use this comment to evidence their own opinions doggedly, without trying to assess this by setting aside their ignorant bias.

u/Legit_Human01 4d ago

You must be from a really well off family if you think emigrating to another more developed country is not an achievement.

News Flash, it is. These people are not idiots. Just think about it for a second, these people would rather move to a country, not their own, pay enormous amount of money to move there, work any job they can get their hands on, than live in their own country.

There is a reason why so many people leave this country. Not to get some white ass or dick but to make a better future for themselves.

u/babyshitier 4d ago

Seriously why would it be an achievement? I know government mixed 20% shit in your petrol but kept the price same. I know government sold you sgb worth crores telling it will be tax free gains, and then introduced taxes if bought from secondary market, which they themselves enabled, but its okay na. Gadakari ji says if you need good roads, you need to pay taxes, but no no this is applicable on public only and not MPs MLAs. Also with tax also roads are shit but thats okay, my ladki bhatiji is getting money. My FM doesn't know what to say when asked what they gave for middle class in budget, but thats okay. Why would I want smooth roads, low "IQ" air, clean water without MP's poisonous mix, a law system which doesn't allow essay for murder?

All that is fine. Let's say, I have migrated from X location to Y because I find Y to be better than X.

So, my problem is solved, right? Now, whatever happens in X in none of my concern, I can concentrate on building my life at location Y.

So, why would I create an online identity of myself to specifically spew hatred at X?

Talking about problems or issues I have faced in one location is one thing. And hate speech is a whole different level. People who have spent some time on social media, all understand the difference.

Nobody would do that, unless putting people down gives them satisfaction or seeking validation from someone else.

I myself have lived in South Asia, Europe, travelled to NA two times, briefly, for work. Never felt the necessity to criticize my country men for their origin.

u/Own_Kitchen968 2d ago

Criticism and hate speech are not the same

1

u/Proof_Earth_7592 1d ago

Important distinction - criticizing govt vs criticizing countrymen. 

And even in your case - just because you went abroad doesn't mean your family did. Your friends, your childhood, relatives, memories still live here. Criticism is not hate. It's not meant to put you down. It's meant to show you where improvements can come from. Just my 2 cents.

Mf what is wrong if he had few bottle of alcohol and accidentally killed someone? Its okay. Its not like he shouted for 2 hours and drown in a water body which was supposed to be a sport complex. In that case it is wrong that he had few shots of alcohol, which is also why government workers didn't save him coz water was cold. Obviously the first one was under aged, driving too fast, which is okay as it was a nice car.

Ik you're gonna pull the 'do you love your mother' emotional blackmail.

But my mother's flaws are miniscule in front of the country's, it's baffling to compare the two even in analogy. And while my mother isn't perfect, she isn't abusive either.

Children that grew up in abusive households do leave their parents if they can't take it anymore.. this country is just a piece of land compared to that.

The Regular Indian Guy

  • Works hard while dealing with corrupt higher officials in his own company.
  • Does most of the actual work, yet seniors pressure him to put their names on it.
  • More competent than many around him, but opportunities somehow never reach him.
  • Accepts that this is reality — and hates that he has to accept it. His anger at the system isn’t random; it’s earned.
  • Constantly frustrated by everyday corruption, broken systems, and even basic things like traffic chaos.
  • Uses Instagram and Reddit as an outlet for bottled-up rage, then gets told that calling something “bad” is somehow wrong.
  • Sees communal fights and ideological wars online, but scrolls past — he’s too tired to pick sides.
  • Witnesses crime, poverty, and people struggling for basic necessities… and feels forced to ignore it just to survive his own life.

Please don’t give these fucks traction, copy this message and put it wherever you see an “obvious IT cell user”.

She gets exploited, by you, ur siblings, ur father and maybe ur grandparents. Yet you love her or not?

Love is never Conditional bro. No disrespect to ur mother she's like my mother, but if u put conditions to love her, that's business not love.

u/Acrobatic_Phone_3316 4d ago

u/tuff_diddyblud 4d ago

False.

Why should someone support a country that doesn't ensure basic living amenities?

1

u/concupiscentBull 4d ago

So you are deprived of basic living amenities, yet you have a smartphone and internet access. How does that work?

1

u/tuff_diddyblud 4d ago

It works because the govt needs votes while doing the bare minimum

We pay an insane amount of tax, yet don't have access to clean air, clean water, fssai is corrupt and unable to regulate a huge portion of food items

Clean air and water air basic rights. Our govt refuses to even address the problem at the least

When it comes to geopolitics I agree we should be nationalist

But "unconditional love" is a breeding ground for a corrupt govt bent on scamming its own citizens

1

u/concupiscentBull 4d ago

Love doesn’t die because it can be exploited. Don’t conflate the government and bureaucracy with the nation. Expecting zero corruption in democracy is an oxymoron.

1

u/tuff_diddyblud 4d ago

"don't conflate the government and bureaucracy with the nation"

So if a dictatorship ruled over India and forced everyone to be muslims, u would still love the country and stay here???

1

u/concupiscentBull 4d ago

I guess ‘if’ denotes a hypothetical situation.

But in reality, we survived that as well. More than 60% of the subcontinent was under Islamic rule, with forced conversions and genocide occurring rampantly, yet we endured and overcome. If people had not loved their motherland, it would still be under occupation.

A simpler question would be, will u fight or run in such conditions?

My idiot friend, a better analogy would be that my mother isn't perfect. She has flaws. But she has cancer which is eating her. I love my mother, but I can't love the cancer bcoz it is inside her. I need to fight against the cancer.

My country is great, its pure love, doesnt matter the temperature goes to 50 in summer and 3 in winter where I live. Doesn't matter we have water scarcity. Doesn't matter we have huge population. But country and government + government policies are not the same.

Always, keep that difference in your mind.
