Your questions are very good , well thought of. I stayed for more than 10 years, lived in Washington DC as well as Silicon City, took decision to come back to India by simply asking one question, if the money is not the criteria what would you do? stay back in US or go back to India. I got my answer and came back, it was that simple for me. It's been 4.5 years I came back, never regretted about my decision, never thought of going back. This is my janm bhoomi and this will be my karm bhoomi too. I just saw the news today that one guy from Andhra Pradesh was died in an accident and his friends ran fundrasing campaign and send his corpse back to home. And this happened many times too, why do we need to ask for donation in this situation? Don't you feel bad about this? I feel that if we have a choice to come back then we should, leave the opportunity to other new comers , early career stage people. What do you think?
Nice to see ur thoughts Mr. Bhargav I appreciate ur Decision. I also tell u ki There are very few people either well settled or Students who think like you and take such decisions that u make and it is our fortune that we are a part of this Grateful country and it is our duty to make our Country a World Leading Country 🇮🇳🇮🇳 Jai Hind.
Yes absolutely true very large no. people of India who are leaving India Very Fastly for their better life but But what will happen to those who are living below the poverty line in my Great India wo to phir bhi marenge. So that's why we something thought together ki how can we make life better for those poor people.
everybody's life and situations are different. You just can't generalize and judge people for their decision. Yes, H1B-Marriage-Home-GC-Citizenship is a trap, many people once get in cannot get out for various reasons. Good for you, you took a decision and stuck by it, not many are that fortunate. Doesn't matter where you live, if you are not happy about it and worse you have no control over situations, life sucks!
India Facilities have improved Tremendously along with all round Digitalisation. Speciality Medical facilities are far more accessible and easy when compared to US, UK and Canada
@@samanthamccormick1505 We can Rightly claim world class facilities in finger tips for almost all Urban areas in India and really value for money in 4 Metro cities, Pune, Kochi , Bangalore and Hyderabad . even Rural and Semi urban areas such facilities available 2-3 Hrs away. This is the best possible at this GDP level of growth. There are 14-16 AIIMS already operational in most states
100% Agree with the couple’s view . The q&a session was very informative for newbie’s here is USA, also people who might want to migrate here. Janmbhumi- karmbhumi, yeah that’s how we see these very distinct countries , but will always will love and respect equally.
One of the really nice vlogs I have seen in a long time, just so real! Both Shilpa and Gagan seem to be a very level headed couple and very grounded. This vlog was so much different from the usual house tours, flight journeys etc. etc. Keep it up Akash!
I came to the US in 2002 and then got an opportunity in 2012 exactly 10 years to return to India.. it coincided well with the Trump / Modi times and spent 10 years in India and then in 2022 got another opportunity to come back to the US... 2023 and I am in NC now and I think that life in India has a lot more benefits today, when compared to 2002.. US in 2002 vs US in 2023 - Not much has changed... India in 2002 vs 2023 - Huge difference.... 1-21 years in India 21-31 in US - Pros.. Growth and Money and success / career 31-41 in India... Growth and Money and success / career + Family / Friends / Food 41-43 in US.... Children are US citizens to this might be a good option for them in terms of building career... 45+/.. Definitely will move to India.... as I feel elder life is much better there vs here (Plus I get to take care of ageing parents) I feel that my older life is much better in India.. Looking forward to spend my life there and find better purpose ! P.S: From our kids perspective.. quiet funny that they have all of their know-how from India and been here for nearly 6 months and they still are very proud of being Indian and the perception remains that they have much more knowledge than an ABOVE AVERAGE american kid.
Hope the perception remains. I know A LOT of US born Indian kids who spent 10+ years in India, and came back for high school / undergrad. And they ALL have this attitude of being smarter than top kids here in US. That perception SOON goes away once they get to 11th, 12th and on to college. There are couple different types of intelligence. For eg., emotional intelligence, intelligence to think outside the box (not bookish knowledge, follow rules by the book), creative intelligence, etc. The biggest mistake people make in gauging intelligence is using bookish knowledge for testing themselves and others, testing facts like what /where is Iran, Iraq , spelling of something, speed in solving arithmetic questions, etc., which becomes irrelevant as you get older and get into jobs. Those are knowledge ( which is now available at your fingertips) not intelligence. I have know way too many kids coming from India, become isolated, with few friends, as they get older. Perhaps this sense of superiority initially has something to do with it.
So so information getting from video plus your thoughts. But i would like to ask would you like to return to India if you have had no relatives living here ?
@@gayatrisrinivas6342 in my personal view.... Last decade in India is much different than the previous generations including my own... I know that I had more knowledge but still in many ways was inferior due to lack of confidence... But if I take my son, he is already gelling well with the American kids and plays the common sports like wiffle ball or flag football and does much better than many .. my daughter has such understanding of the systems and respect for teachers that they find it extremely rewarding... N she tells me how she is unique in her own way... One thing is for certain... Having experiences in India vs here in the US has taught them things that they wouldn't have otherwise learnt.... But obviously not everyone will be in the same situation
@@MANOJSHARMA-bu8yv my answer is yes... Because I am personally more connected to India than US.... But would be different for different ppl... My answer is a simple yes. I would spend my later life in India no matter what..
@@mitulzaveri1981 It depends on at what age kids moved from US to India , how many years they stayed in India, and at what age/ grade they came back. I am talking about kids who left US when they were in elementary and came back to US when they are in high school. Lot of growing happens during middle school years. At this age, they form perceptions about themselves, start to have an identity in relation to their peers, etc. Those perceptions become wrong when they come to US. Very few kids who come back to US in 10,11, 12 grades are able to gel well with their classmates. It of course depends on kids personality as well. You are talking about ur kids playing wiffle ball. So, they are still young.
Very good video. After staying in US for around 8 years, I came back to India. Main reason was family and aging parents and it is my responsibility to take care of them. One main question I have is regarding school shootings, every few months I read news about school shooting in US. How Indian parents cope up with that fear? Second question I have is gender education in US/Canada schools and I am not comfortable my kids getting that fed so early in their life.
Really appreciate your success out side of India and its purely on merit basis. Hat's off to all Indians who are working away from motherland to support and protect to his/her family and very honestly it's required lots sacrifice on personal and social front.
Shilpa has very good communication style and skills. She handled all questions that would make me go silent in public with aplomb. Situational awareness is very important while living in the USA. Every situation needs different handling. Overall population in general are very individualistic here. Generic rules do not apply to people in USA. Hollywood and Bollywood movies are made for entertainment in order to earn money. They are not meant to be real. If one is relocating from living in India the only thing that is different is self-reliance. In India everything gets done for an average person. Here in USA average person does everything himself/herself.
I think 10 saal pehle bhot difference tha US aur India me But ab itna nhi h and infect for safety and people living comfortably and happy india is much better
Just this week I spent so much money on my dental problem.... Sucks it's too high even after a high amount of insurance I need to pay a very big amt just for tooth extraction 😢
@@purvakmistry2128 I hear you. I have had multiple dental surgeries due to a fall I had in childhood and the subsequent dental work in india which was not done correctly and now I had to face the consequences. The cost made a huge dent in my pocket saying that though the dental work here is exceptional and there is rarely much pain or complications.
@@JojambheI am no one for you..i adviced don't came india..this is worse country for women ....and India's societal structure will kill you internally...i faced each and every day.
Hey! as someone who is coming to the US this fall, this video was extremely helpful and I got a better understanding of what "life in usa" actually looks like. Big fan of your work akash keep up the good work.
If de-dollarisation wave starts in a more aggressive manner, then IT indistry may lose its charm in US. Rupee itself will appreciate if the BRICS currency trade starts. We might have to look at staying back in India. Maybe things will change in about 5 years from now!
lol been hearing similar argument for 30+ years. Same with arguments about the Middle east - Middle East is going to collapse. Oil is going to be over and Middle East will have all the people begging on the streets and INdia will become Superpower and rule the world. Nice to hear such fantasies, that never die. Meanwhile just go and look at the long lines in front of foreign embassies in India. People start lining up from the previous night outside embassies for a visa to escape India.
@@samanthamccormick1505 the ones who want to escape are the ones who couldn’t hack it here. You could be one among them. And now you’re rushing towards social validation for your actions. It’s your life. Do as you please. I have been to over 15 nations and I found India to be the best in several ways that suits my needs. I have many classmates in US who aren’t leading a decent lifestyle despite a good pay due to high cost of living. At the same time my other friends in India are living life king size while not sacrificing a great family life. So it’s best you reassess your thoughts on how life in India sucks. It might have sucked for you. But that’s not the case with many.
@@abraham_george I am sure that for the 56% of lepers of the world who live in INdia, things are not so rosy. I am sure that for the thousands of farmers who commit suicide in INdia each year, things are not so rosy. I am sure that for the 55% of Mumbai's population that lives in slums things are not so rosy. India has the second largest number of poverty stricken people in the world, I am sure they are not living a lavish life as you and your friends. Wow, what a coincidence that EACH of your many friends who live in the US are having a miserable life. While EACH of your friend in India is living a king size life. Friend, there is a reason why social metrics are relied upon. Because everything else is subjective and descends into my d_ick is bigger than your d_ick kind of discussion. Those social metrics tell you how many farmers are committing suicide. What the poverty levels in INdia are.
@@lifeisbeautiful7824 Philos0phical statements like yours, are feel good fluff, that help us numb our pain at being the nation with the highest poverty stricken people in the world. Only people and nations who do not have the confidence in their own actions to pull themselves out of poverty rely on such statements to heal their pain ['World changes. Nothing is eternal. Middleast rich countries will become poor. Europe will become poor. US / Canada will become poor. INdia will become Number 1].
Racism is systemic and institutional. The interviewer misunderstands "racism" as individual bigotry. This is very common. I'm an American Indian living in India. I lived in Wisconsin 1966-2020! The air pollution is very challenging in Indore.
What is an American Indian? Are you from a Native American tribe or are you white who lives in India? Even Hindus are very racist to others and to their own.
Try to gather different life journeys about h4 holder wives. Those were working professionally before in India. That definitely helps others to make difficult different decisions on topics like 1. going back to India. 2. Experience of waiting for work permit 3. Personal life 4. Understanding ith partner 5. "Reality" of people of Indian community in USA. 6. Older indians vs new Indians in the USA.
Administrative Inefficiency is the major problem we face in every situations in India. If those who can handle this problem, definitely we can improve the situation here.
Getting a 25 lakhs package in india is better than Getting a 100k(80lakhs) package in USA My sister came back from USA , she worked there for 2 years but she just didn't liked it after some time .
@@livinghope1561 and happened to be best decision cuz she's happy And most of us who grew up with friends and neighbors and have homes for generations at one place don't like going abroad, they feel home where they always meet their people
No, the thing is that at any Indian school you will see hell lot of students bullying each other like anything but it never comes in the news.. In abroad the culture of bullying is very less than India but the people over there are very vocal and active in social media that is why we get the news.
i am over 80 and came to usa for long stay as there was no other choice - my children are here and my wife passed away -i do not have anyone else in india to give support in my old age - living in usa is ok but medical expenses are too much - in india it is much easier to clinical reports and medicines but here there is lot of formalities and to get a simple blood report it takes two days- and in india it has become far easier to get things done because of computerisation
You can't complain because you get world class medical facilities. Everything comes at a price and if you're not a citizen than obviously you have to bear more.
My experience. Had been to US three times, three years, each stay was less than 60 days. Now I come from Kerala where the quality and standard of living is better than in other states in India. I never had thought to migrate to US, i dint have to. I had all the good life in Kerala. But a person living in Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata... He might really feel a far more better standard of living in the US. I worked in Mumbai for 6 years and I really couldn't imagine settling down there. It was really a chaos . So I think a lot of migration happens because people find better standard of living comparatively. Of course better pay as well.
Stop living in myth, quality of life in Kerala is not better than all states of India, no way Himachal Pradesh has best quality of life in India Please stop this myth
@@vivek6187 you guys are being fooled by your politicians and social media influencers that south is better than north, just read more and you'll see the truth
I visited Kerala many times, beautiful state, Trivandrum is beautiful city than any other cities like Mumbai, Delhi etc. Only thing is India is overpopulated so evrything is getting worse.
I have seen that when people move to another state or country due to job or business, they never like return to their own country or state. Even when their family member die, they still don't pay visit. No offence to anyone but My opinion is based on incidents that have happened in my life. One of them involved my Bua ji, whose only son left his elderly parents after getting married and moved to Bangalore. Another incident involved my friend's husband, who made derogatory remarks about India and its people, calling them 'filthy.' The last incident happened in my neighborhood, where a family member settled in the US and didn't come back to pay a visit when his mother and brother passed away. I find it hard to understand what kind of people are living in this world.
Those who leave dharma and bhoomi are shatrus. Dont think about them. They pay for their consequences eventually. So wait for the next chapter you will witness it.
That’s your Bau Ji’s son. May be he would have done that even he was next door. Forget about different state or the country. People who love their family visit them even if they are on a different planet.
@@scientistswifewah joh log country chhod dete hai woh shatrus hai wah kya soch hai. Log india safety ke chalte, paise ke chalte, education ke chalte chhodte hai kyunki baki countries mai india ke compare mai yh chize achi hai. Per kisi ki death per wapis na ana woh galat hai
Tbh, it’s the first generation immigrants who do that. My parents 3rd and first generation immigrants visited India every other year. My mom visited her nanny in a very remote village in Bihar so it depends on the efforts you make.
It's only happening in recent past. Before there was no comparison between US and India in respect to ease of living and money. Still India has a long way to catch up.
@@anandsails Bro US can never match up the the life experience in India.... ever... but India can as you said....and it will US has crossed its expiry date...
Well-adjusted family, most people are not adjustable and adaptable with every situation and people, this is when they go through such situations or racism.
USA is far better than India... 1.) Life is simpler. 2.)Job opportunities are more. 3.) You don't have to struggle to buy your own house. 4.)Less bullying. 5.) Equal opportunities for all(No caste system). 6.) Medical facilities and health security is far better like in an emergency it would hardly take 15mins for the ambulance to come. 7.)Less pollution. 8.)LGBT friendly. 9.) Systematic environment. 10.)A proper balance in professional and personal life.
Racism in India is worst. Those who go to US, realise that they are being discriminated, while the same person or their like practice worst type of exploitative racism at home. Double standards.
Jab tak life straight forward chal Rahi hai tab tak tho india ho ya usa Farak nahi padta. India me system se ladna is so frustrating . I lost my husband 5 years back still I am struggling to get death settlement from various banks . Dust is the single most deterrent factor . It also depends which city u r relocating to. Life in metro or tier 1 cities is horrible in India . You have to fight corruption , inefficient staff , diverse language challenges on a daily basis . Let us accept the fact that 80 % of the time ( outside your job or neighbourhood) you are interacting with lower middle class Indians . They are indisciplined , lack of commitment , untrustworthy and dishonest . Life in India cannot be judged only on the basis of digitalisation. Especially for senior citizens there is no comfort . We have to remain home bound all the time . There is no facili for people with disabilities . The list can go on.
you cannot expect a good life and system in india till 2035 honestly . and you are living in a developing country , things which you mention can only be possible when india becomes developed like old people or disable . dont expect things like that before 2040 ,
‘Dhobi ka kutta na ghar kana ghaat ka’ is the story of Indians living in USA. You try to imitate Americans throughout your life and feel pride that your children don’t know Indian culture.
Wha log better salaries or better opportunities ke liye jate hai or sirf usa nhi baki countries bhi jate hai kyu kuch countries hai jha india ke mukable jyada safe hai. Culture apna koyi nhi bhulta aaj kl wha bhi kafi Indians society hai joh sare festivals manate hai Jake dekha kro or india ab india bhi acha nhi rha jitna tum sochte ho. Nhi hai akin toh roj news ati hai usko pd liya kro
'feel pride that your children don’t know Indian culture.' For that you don't need to go to the US. Right in INdia itself most people are super happy to imitate the west. I have been living in the US for more than 2 decades. Fantastic life. Live 15 minutes from one of the best beaches of the world. ZERO pollution. ZERO slums. Great weather right through the year. I am a multi-millionaire who came with nothing in the pocket, loans taken to complete my studies [Two Masters degrees]. Not ONCE have I ever encountered corruption in the US. NOT ONCE. The police officers address us with utmost respect using 'Madam' / 'Sir' etc. Don't blindly believe everythign you read in the INdian media - Life in the US is fantastic. I have seen videos of a lot of people who return from teh US posting how life in USA is bad and how life in india is wonderful. There is only one issue with that - Most everyone putting those videos are pepople who could NOT get green card in the US. 99% of those who get greencard/US citizenship, do NOT go back to INdia. I know of people with Green Card who went back ['we want our kids to not forget INdian culture']. Most of them came back. Exceptions are those who have aged and aging parent and/or properties that parents can no longer manage by themselves. Also remember, India is the second largest population on the planet, largest population by some estimates. Indias culture will not vanish because Indians want to go abroad. India is not Sri Lanka or Bhutan, with small population. It may make you feel better about yourself by writing stuff like: ‘Dhobi ka kutta na ghar kana ghaat ka’ is the story of INdians living in the US. Good for you if it makes you feel better about your own life. AFter all we all have a right to feel nice about ourselves. If writing negative stuff about Indians living in the US makes you feel happier, go for it.
@@scientistswife HOw is life worse for Hindu INdians than Christian Indians in the US? Just dont keep blabbering anything that comes to mind. Get out of the gutter of Hindu Muslim and Hindu Christian. You fill your head with that garbage and believe me that is all you will see in everything.
Nice Video. But I personally feel Texas, that too specially Dallas is a different world in itself. It has a huge Indian population so one will definitely not face any racism. I think you should talk to people who live on the east coast or Midwest. You will hear a lot of stories about gun voilence, racism, missing India stories. Harsh weather conditions and about many other cons. Just last week i heard a story of kid being bullied for getting Indian food at school for its smell. That’s why Indians here try to move to communities, schools or states where there’s more Indian population just to feel safe. There are sweet people too I don’t deny. Life here is easy. But so is in India when it comes to house help and convenience. I visited india last month and my god it has changed tremendously for good. The QR code and UPI made me feel I’m an uneducated. Was really happy to see the progress. It’s been 5years now in the US and even now it’s hard to see our future here. And don’t make me start on family values, cultural aspects etc.
Are waah!! Indore 😍😍… bht zyada change lagta hai indore mein har baar.. 😀 I saw a car with number plate MP-09.. Its a vibe I think, I was over the moon happy to see an Indori parked next to me.. 🙈 Doesn’t matter how many years we stay here, ♥️ is in India!
with respect to all the comments regarding the Pros and cons of living in U.S. the Indians must learn from the Gujaratis how to Live life anywhere in the world.This Diaspora given the oppurtunity make the Best of their life anywhere in the world.Even if given an oppurtunity he will open a convenient stores in Alaska and move on.I as a sr living in U.S. have seen them as a very hard working lot They are very courteous and keep their opinions to themselves.They respect the local community and mingle with them and that is the reason most of the Motels in U.S. are owned by them.
First time I watched your vlog and loved this not only bcoz the questions but bcz it's reality and mostly indians hi indians ko neecha dikhate he... It's their choice their comfort their decision...to stay wherever they want to live.. like some comes to India for study and stays in India doesn't mean they don't want to go to their country but they are bount to fulfill their responsibility and after having kids it becomes difficult for parents to adjust their children in different environment... Really appreciate this video... And one more thing staying far doesn't mean that you don't love your parents... Coz this happens in India too like delhi person need to shift Bangalore for job and that too without parents and even after staying in India they don't meet their parents in one to two years... And still don't mean that they don't love their parents... No offense for staying in India or anywhere else for your life 😊
Racism is in India too, So don't decide by racism Dallas California new jersey etc are Indian communities. Life is USA is comforable than India. Yes, Now India also changed, no relationships. value to money 😢
@@HowieHoward-ti3dxu need to understand genetics first. The "races" you mentioned aren't really races. Indians are mostly mixed rather than belong to particular races like white, African American, Hispanic etc.
Very nice vlog and thanks Gagan and Shilpa. Relevant for many including myself. One big question for us living here in the US for the last 8 years is: how do we take care of our aging parents! That’s the biggest guilt for me and this one is the key driver why I am thinking of considering going back to India….. any thoughts?
It is good that you are considering this option, because our time with parents is limited 😢. If you have enjoyed your time here in US and earned a good amount, U should go back n spend the rest of the time with them as well.
get a full time maid / cook for parents Mishra ji. It would hardly cost 20k rs a month, about 350 USD a month. Also, there are many gated communites in India in every city, they have better roads, new modular kitchens, anti skid tiles, etc. My grandparents are 87 and live in Bhopal
Exactly… I was surprised to know most of the teens in USA don’t really know their president, which continent USA is in and a lot more… there are many videos on UA-cam which shows this shallow general awareness. The chaiwala in India has some supreme GK!
In the midwest the racism was more obvious. I think the couple is telling you the rosier side of their story. Midwest has racism but one has to ignore it.. Gagan must be a vital employees otherwise I can't believe the supervisor would offer him a ride home and drive opposite from where she lived. Both of them appear to be such nice people..
I think you guys did not touch an important topic. Immigration hassle. The couple in the video seems never been through the H1B hassle like Indian who came to India since last one decade. The H1 stamping every 2 year that need to be done for Indians who frequently visit India . The difficulty of moving to a better job in terms of profile and salary or change job while being on H1B and the uncertainty of getting greed card. The hardships for Indian who came to US in last 10 years is quite different from Indian who came before that. People who came to US before a decade or so are mostly all wonderful experience .
There are both good and bad people in u.s.a. I live here in US and most of the people I talked to worry about something. The important thing is how safe you feel and everyday safety is very concerning for our family. There is an increase in gun violence and racism against Asians. Most of the Americans are good people but there are bad people also here because of their bad upbringing.
Tiny population of 1%, paying 6 times Taxes does command due respect. Their rising percentage and increased activities in social & political arenas will propel them further to become local leaders. Rising global influence of their motherland will certainly add to their repect level in U.S. What's in store for them 10 years ahead? Hopefully, they will pack up baggage, regain their original Passport & come back home
My family member stayed here in USA for many years and got job transfer back to india in same company. Parents adjusted in india but kids kept complaining. Finally the first son is back here in USA for masters and second one is preparing to come back. They could not adjust to india easily and were waiting to come back to USA. According to them India can not be compared to USA for living.
Stumbled upon this and several other similar videos. The most compelling reason of all the USD 1 = Rs 83ish. Imagine if it drops down to USD 1 = RS 20 - 25 today, most of the H1B Janta will fly away🤣. Other citizens and PR holders will start cursing them after a while but because they are heavily invested (not just monetarily) they may not move back . Same is true with Canada and Aus etc. The exchange rate gives the base to why people go to US/Can/Aus and they get stuck their because of one or other reason. Local US people are very good that is the reason why more Indian stick around and get stuck but you or your kids (ABCD) they keep dealing with "we are different" sense for no of years if not for ever, same you feel when north Indian go to South India or other way. I am sure as India is progressing less and less folks face this issue as they may choose to stay in India vs all of them wanted to come to west during 90's (it has reduced to some extent.). Host has been going every six months to India shows that how he was attached with India.
This lady is saying like peanuts bullying is far more serious it can happen any where not only in USA but also in India the child faces severe mental trauma it is not so easy peasy job like sending An email at the comfort of your home they are friends now kind of thing , you didn’t face it being out there don’t normalize bullying Nd it’s not normal for kids to be rude no generally kids re friendly being rude is not a nature of kid ! Don’t fall for these american school normalize bullying thing, the scars remain for decades and can change the behavior of a child their thinking their enquire life choices due to the trauma they faced
If you have decent money, there’s no place like India… the country has changed a lot recently. There might not be apparent racism abroad, but you’re still an outsider.

Now, even people with mediocre pay are thinking big as the country will reward them if they work hard enough.

@@rk-co7zn how many young Indians are actually earning a decent pay for the job / skills / work they do? Miniscule minority. Our so called amazing gdp growth is fuelled by massive debt. In the long run, we ll see increase in toll taxes and other fees because all the debt driven infra that was supposed to create millions of jobs hasnt been a success. So in reality, actual wage rise / hike even if given will wither away due to rising inflation. Net earnings are declining. With the rapid advances in AI, Indian IT industry (the ONLY major forex earner export item) will start to decline. We have never given any imp to msme / sme sector. Neither have we promoted agricultural sector the way we sae Green revolution in 80s and 90s.

The world has been settled by people from Europe and India is highly overpopulated. It is better to brave the problems and migrate to other countries where land, resources and jobs are plenty compared to in India.

I think it’s because of caste related challenges in India . The cut off for OC is unbelievably high to get into professional degrees . How long the OC is going to get oppressed based on caste ? People don’t come back from USA as their children are given equal opportunities according to their potential . May be that’s why they don’t come back here .
@@rajars4239 Where were you when the upper caste were harassing and torturing lower caste for centuries ? Few people supressed large section of society and this called low caste took centuries to come out of it. How somebody don't have the gut to fight for equal rights is our fault?

Talking about racism, India come #1 in the world on the basis of isms like....Caste, class, religion, language, status, Rich, poor, North, South....etc. I did not have anything in India, but America gave me a Lot for me and my family, for which I am thankful. If I did not say it, I would be lying.. I am blessed 100%.
India is a diverse country so there are differences in the way people live in society. Usa is what predominantly white with little to no diversity, the moment the start getting little diverse all those problems are visible in USA . Like Trump making a wall on Mexican border to stop immigration. In Islamophobia USA rank is 2.And i shouldn't even be comparing but cast system was any day better than system of slavery in the west. The cast system got illegal in India with special privileges known as passive or positive discrimination i.e the reservation system for education and employment are being given for people who have faced discrimination in the past. That's why the pew research survey shows the wealth gap between people of different caste has decreased in India rapidly while the wealth gap between white and people of colour has increased in the same time in USA. So India did owned up its evil of discrimination and started paying retribution since 1950 while USA is still debating with no willingness to pay retribution for its participantion in slavery or racial discrimination. And we all know the views of Churchill and Nixon about people of colour. By the way just one question why USA closest ally is just Canada and not Mexico. And 2nd question is USA or any western country is planning on paying retribution of any kind in the future. Or are they just goona be the white saviors of the world.
If you are a dark skin indian woman you will face less racism in Us than in India ! Our colorism culture very present in indian film industry is a matter of national shame !

I have been there in USA. Cons of living abroad: - The killer Instinct, the competitiveness that you got while facing daily challenges in India is not there, slowly, one become soft and chui mui. - Food, family celebrations, festivals.. ln India, every week some festivals or celebrations is happening. Foreign is boring. - sense of insecurity is there.. doesn't matter how much you enjoy, live an easy life... But the sense of belongingness is not there.
If you like to live a life in set channels then US is great. But if your life is out of normal or you like to live out of normal or your civilization question comes to your mind then US is difficult. Cultural wars in US will make life very difficult for Indians as their kids will get embroiled in it. We are very resistant to issues like corruption racism etc. Once GC backlog issue is resolved Indians can setup own civilization ecosystem. I do my part by approaching university to teach Hindi. Many Americans learning Hindi.
My visit to USA and stay with my daughter and son in law and grand daughter was un eventful. Me and my wife have really enjoyed. But we have a feeling that we don't belong to this place. India is all for us.
Your questions are very good , well thought of. I stayed for more than 10 years, lived in Washington DC as well as Silicon City, took decision to come back to India by simply asking one question, if the money is not the criteria what would you do? stay back in US or go back to India. I got my answer and came back, it was that simple for me. It's been 4.5 years I came back, never regretted about my decision, never thought of going back. This is my janm bhoomi and this will be my karm bhoomi too. I just saw the news today that one guy from Andhra Pradesh was died in an accident and his friends ran fundrasing campaign and send his corpse back to home. And this happened many times too, why do we need to ask for donation in this situation?
Don't you feel bad about this? I feel that if we have a choice to come back then we should, leave the opportunity to other new comers , early career stage people. What do you think?
👌🏼👍🏼🇮🇳
Nice to see ur thoughts Mr. Bhargav I appreciate ur Decision. I also tell u ki There are very few people either well settled or Students who think like you and take such decisions that u make and it is our fortune that we are a part of this Grateful country and it is our duty to make our Country a World Leading Country 🇮🇳🇮🇳 Jai Hind.
Hardly 1% of people come back......! Rest settle there only. Don't know why? Probably Money & ease of daily life!!!!!
Yes absolutely true very large no. people of India who are leaving India Very Fastly for their better life but But what will happen to those who are living below the poverty line in my Great India wo to phir bhi marenge. So that's why we something thought together ki how can we make life better for those poor people.
everybody's life and situations are different. You just can't generalize and judge people for their decision. Yes, H1B-Marriage-Home-GC-Citizenship is a trap, many people once get in cannot get out for various reasons. Good for you, you took a decision and stuck by it, not many are that fortunate. Doesn't matter where you live, if you are not happy about it and worse you have no control over situations, life sucks!
India Facilities have improved Tremendously along with all round Digitalisation. Speciality Medical facilities are far more accessible and easy when compared to US, UK and Canada

One of the really nice vlogs I have seen in a long time, just so real! Both Shilpa and Gagan seem to be a very level headed couple and very grounded. This vlog was so much different from the usual house tours, flight journeys etc. etc. Keep it up Akash!
I came to the US in 2002 and then got an opportunity in 2012 exactly 10 years to return to India.. it coincided well with the Trump / Modi times and spent 10 years in India and then in 2022 got another opportunity to come back to the US... 2023 and I am in NC now and I think that life in India has a lot more benefits today, when compared to 2002..
US in 2002 vs US in 2023 - Not much has changed...
India in 2002 vs 2023 - Huge difference....
1-21 years in India
21-31 in US - Pros.. Growth and Money and success / career
31-41 in India... Growth and Money and success / career + Family / Friends / Food
41-43 in US.... Children are US citizens to this might be a good option for them in terms of building career...
45+/.. Definitely will move to India.... as I feel elder life is much better there vs here (Plus I get to take care of ageing parents)
I feel that my older life is much better in India.. Looking forward to spend my life there and find better purpose !
P.S: From our kids perspective.. quiet funny that they have all of their know-how from India and been here for nearly 6 months and they still are very proud of being Indian and the perception remains that they have much more knowledge than an ABOVE AVERAGE american kid.
Hope the perception remains. I know A LOT of US born Indian kids who spent 10+ years in India, and came back for high school / undergrad. And they ALL have this attitude of being smarter than top kids here in US. That perception SOON goes away once they get to 11th, 12th and on to college. There are couple different types of intelligence. For eg., emotional intelligence, intelligence to think outside the box (not bookish knowledge, follow rules by the book), creative intelligence, etc.
The biggest mistake people make in gauging intelligence is using bookish knowledge for testing themselves and others, testing facts like what /where is Iran, Iraq , spelling of something, speed in solving arithmetic questions, etc., which becomes irrelevant as you get older and get into jobs. Those are knowledge ( which is now available at your fingertips) not intelligence. I have know way too many kids coming from India, become isolated, with few friends, as they get older. Perhaps this sense of superiority initially has something to do with it.
So so information getting from video plus your thoughts. But i would like to ask would you like to return to India if you have had no relatives living here ?
@@gayatrisrinivas6342 in my personal view.... Last decade in India is much different than the previous generations including my own... I know that I had more knowledge but still in many ways was inferior due to lack of confidence... But if I take my son, he is already gelling well with the American kids and plays the common sports like wiffle ball or flag football and does much better than many .. my daughter has such understanding of the systems and respect for teachers that they find it extremely rewarding... N she tells me how she is unique in her own way...
One thing is for certain... Having experiences in India vs here in the US has taught them things that they wouldn't have otherwise learnt.... But obviously not everyone will be in the same situation
@@MANOJSHARMA-bu8yv my answer is yes... Because I am personally more connected to India than US.... But would be different for different ppl... My answer is a simple yes. I would spend my later life in India no matter what..
@@mitulzaveri1981 It depends on at what age kids moved from US to India , how many years they stayed in India, and at what age/ grade they came back. I am talking about kids who left US when they were in elementary and came back to US when they are in high school. Lot of growing happens during middle school years. At this age, they form perceptions about themselves, start to have an identity in relation to their peers, etc. Those perceptions become wrong when they come to
US. Very few kids who come back to US in 10,11, 12 grades are able to gel well with their classmates. It of course depends on kids personality as well. You are talking about ur kids playing wiffle ball. So, they are still young.
Wahan problems sabko hai..waapis aana kisiko nahi hai...and that gives u answer of which is a better place
Very good video. After staying in US for around 8 years, I came back to India. Main reason was family and aging parents and it is my responsibility to take care of them. One main question I have is regarding school shootings, every few months I read news about school shooting in US. How Indian parents cope up with that fear? Second question I have is gender education in US/Canada schools and I am not comfortable my kids getting that fed so early in their life.
Really appreciate your success out side of India and its purely on merit basis.
Hat's off to all Indians who are working away from motherland to support and protect to his/her family and very honestly it's required lots sacrifice on personal and social front.
What’s the use of you don’t have establishment where you can’t show your performance that u have to go to US n show
Bro you are promoting to be a parasite, Rome wasn't built in a day nor was US....India is being built, sad that you chose not to be part of it..
Shilpa has very good communication style and skills. She handled all questions that would make me go silent in public with aplomb. Situational awareness is very important while living in the USA. Every situation needs different handling. Overall population in general are very individualistic here. Generic rules do not apply to people in USA. Hollywood and Bollywood movies are made for entertainment in order to earn money. They are not meant to be real. If one is relocating from living in India the only thing that is different is self-reliance. In India everything gets done for an average person. Here in USA average person does everything himself/herself.
I think 10 saal pehle bhot difference tha US aur India me

I think one very important con here is the medical and dental costs in the US. If you face a medical issue then the cost is too much.
Just this week I spent so much money on my dental problem.... Sucks it's too high even after a high amount of insurance I need to pay a very big amt just for tooth extraction 😢

I have many classmates in US who aren’t leading a decent lifestyle despite a good pay due to high cost of living. At the same time my other friends in India are living life king size while not sacrificing a great family life.

i am over 80 and came to usa for long stay as there was no other choice - my children are here and my wife passed away -i do not have anyone else in india to give support in my old age - living in usa is ok but medical expenses are too much - in india it is much easier to clinical reports and medicines but here there is lot of formalities and to get a simple blood report it takes two days- and in india it has become far easier to get things done because of computerisation

Bro.. I agree with the statements given by those residents... Life is very short...everyone has to get best out of it...
Yes Absolutely True
My experience. Had been to US three times, three years, each stay was less than 60 days. Now I come from Kerala where the quality and standard of living is better than in other states in India. I never had thought to migrate to US, i dint have to. I had all the good life in Kerala. But a person living in Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata... He might really feel a far more better standard of living in the US. I worked in Mumbai for 6 years and I really couldn't imagine settling down there. It was really a chaos . So I think a lot of migration happens because people find better standard of living comparatively. Of course better pay as well.

I have seen that when people move to another state or country due to job or business, they never like return to their own country or state.
Even when their family member die, they still don't pay visit.
No offence to anyone but
My opinion is based on incidents that have happened in my life. One of them involved my Bua ji, whose only son left his elderly parents after getting married and moved to Bangalore. Another incident involved my friend's husband, who made derogatory remarks about India and its people, calling them 'filthy.' The last incident happened in my neighborhood, where a family member settled in the US and didn't come back to pay a visit when his mother and brother passed away. I find it hard to understand what kind of people are living in this world.

Jab tak life straight forward chal Rahi hai tab tak tho india ho ya usa Farak nahi padta. India me system se ladna is so frustrating . I lost my husband 5 years back still I am struggling to get death settlement from various banks . Dust is the single most deterrent factor . It also depends which city u r relocating to. Life in metro or tier 1 cities is horrible in India . You have to fight corruption , inefficient staff , diverse language challenges on a daily basis . Let us accept the fact that 80 % of the time ( outside your job or neighbourhood) you are interacting with lower middle class Indians . They are indisciplined , lack of commitment , untrustworthy and dishonest . Life in India cannot be judged only on the basis of digitalisation. Especially for senior citizens there is no comfort . We have to remain home bound all the time . There is no facili for people with disabilities . The list can go on.
I am very sorry to hear that. Which city do you live in ? is it a gated community ?
you cannot expect a good life and system in india till 2035 honestly . and you are living in a developing country , things which you mention can only be possible when india becomes developed like old people or disable . dont expect things like that before 2040 ,

‘Dhobi ka kutta na ghar kana ghaat ka’ is the story of Indians living in USA. You try to imitate Americans throughout your life and feel pride that your children don’t know Indian culture.
Yes
Wha log better salaries or better opportunities ke liye jate hai or sirf usa nhi baki countries bhi jate hai kyu kuch countries hai jha india ke mukable jyada safe hai. Culture apna koyi nhi bhulta aaj kl wha bhi kafi Indians society hai joh sare festivals manate hai Jake dekha kro or india ab india bhi acha nhi rha jitna tum sochte ho. Nhi hai akin toh roj news ati hai usko pd liya kro
'feel pride that your children don’t know Indian culture.' For that you don't need to go to the US. Right in INdia itself most people are super happy to imitate the west. I have been living in the US for more than 2 decades. Fantastic life. Live 15 minutes from one of the best beaches of the world. ZERO pollution. ZERO slums. Great weather right through the year.
I am a multi-millionaire who came with nothing in the pocket, loans taken to complete my studies [Two Masters degrees]. Not ONCE have I ever encountered corruption in the US. NOT ONCE. The police officers address us with utmost respect using 'Madam' / 'Sir' etc. Don't blindly believe everythign you read in the INdian media - Life in the US is fantastic.
I have seen videos of a lot of people who return from teh US posting how life in USA is bad and how life in india is wonderful. There is only one issue with that - Most everyone putting those videos are pepople who could NOT get green card in the US.
99% of those who get greencard/US citizenship, do NOT go back to INdia. I know of people with Green Card who went back ['we want our kids to not forget INdian culture']. Most of them came back. Exceptions are those who have aged and aging parent and/or properties that parents can no longer manage by themselves.
Also remember, India is the second largest population on the planet, largest population by some estimates. Indias culture will not vanish because Indians want to go abroad. India is not Sri Lanka or Bhutan, with small population.
It may make you feel better about yourself by writing stuff like: ‘Dhobi ka kutta na ghar kana ghaat ka’ is the story of INdians living in the US. Good for you if it makes you feel better about your own life. AFter all we all have a right to feel nice about ourselves. If writing negative stuff about Indians living in the US makes you feel happier, go for it.

Nice Video. But I personally feel Texas, that too specially Dallas is a different world in itself. It has a huge Indian population so one will definitely not face any racism. I think you should talk to people who live on the east coast or Midwest. You will hear a lot of stories about gun voilence, racism, missing India stories. Harsh weather conditions and about many other cons. Just last week i heard a story of kid being bullied for getting Indian food at school for its smell. That’s why Indians here try to move to communities, schools or states where there’s more Indian population just to feel safe. There are sweet people too I don’t deny. Life here is easy. But so is in India when it comes to house help and convenience. I visited india last month and my god it has changed tremendously for good. The QR code and UPI made me feel I’m an uneducated. Was really happy to see the progress. It’s been 5years now in the US and even now it’s hard to see our future here. And don’t make me start on family values, cultural aspects etc.

with respect to all the comments regarding the Pros and cons of living in U.S. the Indians must learn from the Gujaratis how to Live life anywhere in the world.This Diaspora given the oppurtunity make the Best of their life anywhere in the world.Even if given an oppurtunity he will open a convenient stores in Alaska and move on.I as a sr living in U.S. have seen them as a very hard working lot They are very courteous and keep their opinions to themselves.They respect the local community and mingle with them and that is the reason most of the Motels in U.S. are owned by them.
First time I watched your vlog and loved this not only bcoz the questions but bcz it's reality and mostly indians hi indians ko neecha dikhate he... It's their choice their comfort their decision...to stay wherever they want to live.. like some comes to India for study and stays in India doesn't mean they don't want to go to their country but they are bount to fulfill their responsibility and after having kids it becomes difficult for parents to adjust their children in different environment... Really appreciate this video... And one more thing staying far doesn't mean that you don't love your parents... Coz this happens in India too like delhi person need to shift Bangalore for job and that too without parents and even after staying in India they don't meet their parents in one to two years... And still don't mean that they don't love their parents... No offense for staying in India or anywhere else for your life 😊
bhai isi topic pe mujhe video chahiye tha , thank you very much,
Racism is in India too, So don't decide by racism
Dallas California new jersey etc are Indian communities.
Life is USA is comforable than India. Yes, Now India also changed, no relationships. value to money 😢
abe visa lagwao yr.....
Accha, tell me names of races in India then?
@@LearnWithVikram7 Do some research. You will find Dravidians, Aryans, Asian and God knows what else. Also, the caste systems.
@@HowieHoward-ti3dxu need to understand genetics first. The "races" you mentioned aren't really races. Indians are mostly mixed rather than belong to particular races like white, African American, Hispanic
etc.
Main toh high caste ka hoon fir bhi school main racism face karta hoon
The moot point is money, If you don't have money US is better otherwise you can lead a very peaceful life in India.
Very nice vlog and thanks Gagan and Shilpa. Relevant for many including myself.
One big question for us living here in the US for the last 8 years is: how do we take care of our aging parents! That’s the biggest guilt for me and this one is the key driver why I am thinking of considering going back to India….. any thoughts?
It is good that you are considering this option, because our time with parents is limited 😢. If you have enjoyed your time here in US and earned a good amount, U should go back n spend the rest of the time with them as well.
Should come back to your parents. They need you
Your kids come first…. You may help them by keeping in touch , and by sending money periodically so that their expenses are met 🙏
get a full time maid / cook for parents Mishra ji. It would hardly cost 20k rs a month, about 350 USD a month.
Also, there are many gated communites in India in every city, they have better roads, new modular kitchens, anti skid tiles, etc. My grandparents are 87 and live in Bhopal
@@sunitajoshi3228 which world u r staying ? Who said parents are not important. People like u r disgusting
Great discussion and amazing insights. Thanks a lot for the video!
For People who don’t have money in india, US is best.
But if you come from money in India, no better place to live!
.U can get anything with money and nothing without money in india
Great that u brought this topic Bravely
That was a great video! Do upload more such Q&A sessions!
Pls don't forget that Your Modest success in USA is courtesy the Exceptional Education in India
Exactly… I was surprised to know most of the teens in USA don’t really know their president, which continent USA is in and a lot more… there are many videos on UA-cam which shows this shallow general awareness. The chaiwala in India has some supreme GK!
Good job, brother !
In the midwest the racism was more obvious. I think the couple is telling you the rosier side of their story. Midwest has racism but one has to ignore it.. Gagan must be a vital employees otherwise I can't believe the supervisor would offer him a ride home and drive opposite from where she lived. Both of them appear to be such nice people..
I think you guys did not touch an important topic. Immigration hassle. The couple in the video seems never been through the H1B hassle like Indian who came to India since last one decade. The H1 stamping every 2 year that need to be done for Indians who frequently visit India . The difficulty of moving to a better job in terms of profile and salary or change job while being on H1B and the uncertainty of getting greed card. The hardships for Indian who came to US in last 10 years is quite different from Indian who came before that. People who came to US before a decade or so are mostly all wonderful experience .
There are both good and bad people in u.s.a. I live here in US and most of the people I talked to worry about something. The important thing is how safe you feel and everyday safety is very concerning for our family. There is an increase in gun violence and racism against Asians. Most of the Americans are good people but there are bad people also here because of their bad upbringing.
Worst part is the accessibility of guns to those bad people
Very risky to live anywhere in US
Thanks for this video. Please settle back in India and enjoy the life. Send me to US as your replacement
Tiny population of 1%, paying 6 times Taxes does command due respect.
Their rising percentage and increased activities in social & political arenas will propel them further to become local leaders.
Rising global influence of their motherland will certainly add to their repect level in U.S.
What's in store for them 10 years ahead?
Hopefully, they will pack up baggage, regain their original Passport & come back home
It's better to stay and develope your country. School is not school that is reality.
germany is better in terms of work life balance and safety and no visa issues. Even UK, Switzerland is better.
Stay in India. Europe and the west don't need your curry and spices.
My family member stayed here in USA for many years and got job transfer back to india in same company. Parents adjusted in india but kids kept complaining. Finally the first son is back here in USA for masters and second one is preparing to come back. They could not adjust to india easily and were waiting to come back to USA. According to them India can not be compared to USA for living.
Stumbled upon this and several other similar videos. The most compelling reason of all the USD 1 = Rs 83ish. Imagine if it drops down to USD 1 = RS 20 - 25 today, most of the H1B Janta will fly away🤣. Other citizens and PR holders will start cursing them after a while but because they are heavily invested (not just monetarily) they may not move back . Same is true with Canada and Aus etc. The exchange rate gives the base to why people go to US/Can/Aus and they get stuck their because of one or other reason. Local US people are very good that is the reason why more Indian stick around and get stuck but you or your kids (ABCD) they keep dealing with "we are different" sense for no of years if not for ever, same you feel when north Indian go to South India or other way.
I am sure as India is progressing less and less folks face this issue as they may choose to stay in India vs all of them wanted to come to west during 90's (it has reduced to some extent.). Host has been going every six months to India shows that how he was attached with India.
NRI here, going back to india, just staying for 1-2 years to get some savings and then returning.
This lady is saying like peanuts bullying is far more serious it can happen any where not only in USA but also in India the child faces severe mental trauma it is not so easy peasy job like sending An email at the comfort of your home they are friends now kind of thing , you didn’t face it being out there don’t normalize bullying Nd it’s not normal for kids to be rude no generally kids re friendly being rude is not a nature of kid ! Don’t fall for these american school normalize bullying thing, the scars remain for decades and can change the behavior of a child their thinking their enquire life choices due to the trauma they faced
If you have decent money, there’s no place like India… the country has changed a lot recently. There might not be apparent racism abroad, but you’re still an outsider.
Ha bahut change Hui hai dikh rha hai kitne changes aye hai. Na education system change hua abhi tak , competition abhi bhi uthna hi hai gadho ke jaise, or bhi bahut kuch chize hai joh abhi bhi waisi hai or unko badalna bahut muskil hai
Agree, I can see many things are better in India when compared to US.
Nothing has really changed for good in India. In fact, things r getting worse in India
@@yashhemrajani5608 you are right… but see the number of applicants for each exam… 10 lakh people appear for a upsc exam which has barely 100 seats, so yes competition is really high in India. Getting a decent job abroad is easier. But just take your mind 15 years back… India was actually poor! Now, even people with mediocre pay are thinking big as the country will reward them if they work hard enough.
@@gurusastropalmistry2214 a few things, yes… but would you rather be in a developed place where actually Indians are looked upon as low class?
All life savings goes for insurances and medical…..in US. Old age with loneliness ……
Finally he made this video which I asked for

Kya logic hai iss chiz ka india mai gun illegal hai tab bhi india mai crime rate itna jyada hai balki usa se bhi jyada hai india mai wha log rkte hai apni safety ke liye har jagah gun violence nhi hota wha jake check kro ek news dekhli bs ki uske saath hua toh har jagah har bar hota hai aise nhi hota hai
@@yashhemrajani5608 okay first ek news nai boht saari news h, second, jaha jo chutiyapa hai wo hai, toh ye gun laws usa mein h wo chutiyaap se kum nai h, third population toh dekh leta bhai compare karne k pehle, fourth mai us mein hi rehta hu bhai, and i ll say it again yaha comparatively zyada chances h ki apko kuch bhi ho skta h, fifth chal nikal
@@yashhemrajani5608 India me school shooting nehi hota hai, baccho ko mara nehi jata hai...
Haa India me aamir logo ko dacoit target kate hai, target shooting hote hai, but India me koi bhi khule aam - malls me, schools me, church me, hoods me mass shootings nehi hote hain.
@@yashhemrajani5608 brother population diff dekho aur jara dark reality of us dekho mentality badal jayegi
Damn good video
The mass shootings happening anywhere, anyplace, out of the blue,
has been more concerning.
What about severe pollution affecting health in India?
Appointment Saturday, police varification on Monday, and Friday i recived my passport.
Even today,in India things are not easy.
Well I respect their point of view but i feel India has changed alot over last decade, now i feel i earn good than standard of living is not less than usa u can enjoy all facilities at much affordable prices
You are misinformed
@@gurusastropalmistry2214 i understand where it is coming from but few things cannot be comprehended on monetary terms if we are earning around 35+ lpa as on date we are good to go
@@rk-co7zn how many young Indians are actually earning a decent pay for the job / skills / work they do? Miniscule minority. Our so called amazing gdp growth is fuelled by massive debt. In the long run, we ll see increase in toll taxes and other fees because all the debt driven infra that was supposed to create millions of jobs hasnt been a success. So in reality, actual wage rise / hike even if given will wither away due to rising inflation. Net earnings are declining. With the rapid advances in AI, Indian IT industry (the ONLY major forex earner export item) will start to decline. We have never given any imp to msme / sme sector. Neither have we promoted agricultural sector the way we sae Green revolution in 80s and 90s. I see India as a 5 Tr dollar economy on paper which hardly has any per capita incomes that can provide US / EU or Chinese living stds
US was good 10 years back .. now living in India is better
We are senior citizens and things are very very comfortable here due to unprecedented progress made in last 10 years
USA is best in world
Where?
In india off course. In hyderabad
@@gopendrapondropove Good. Stay there!
@@HowieHoward-ti3dx thanks
The world has been settled by people from Europe and India is highly overpopulated. It is better to brave the problems and migrate to other countries where land, resources and jobs are plenty compared to in India.
I have been to Dallas 3 times... I went to see discovery centre and John F Kennedy 6th floor dallas museum
Bhaiya, A quick question. Example: After living 10-15 years in the USA if I haven't got a green card, and due to government rules if I asked to go back, (H1-B nai laga) then what will happen? Do my wife and children also need to come back to India?
Please give your response. Thank you.
Life is easy in US !! Hearing it for a first time from someone .. most of people says something else
I think it’s because of caste related challenges in India . The cut off for OC is unbelievably high to get into professional degrees . How long the OC is going to get oppressed based on caste ? People don’t come back from USA as their children are given equal opportunities according to their potential . May be that’s why they don’t come back here .
Where were you when the lower caste were harassed and tortured for centuries ??
@@rajars4239 Where were you when the upper caste were harassing and torturing lower caste for centuries ? Few people supressed large section of society and this called low caste took centuries to come out of it. How somebody don't have the gut to fight for equal rights is our fault?
@@TheKuttaapi That is what even I said. Read my comment properly.
@@rajars4239 General caste wants reservation but don't want to give up on their so called high status . I belong to general category , and I completely agree with it.
@@JodHan-g4q Whether you like it or not, Reservation will stay in this country. If you don't like it, just find another country. Even in 2023 you can still find the Upper Caste harassing the lower caste.
There is no racism in chennai against north Indians or vice versa… and you guys see northeast India just like your fellow state people
😂😂
What a good joke😂😂😂
Beautiful interview 👍
Rasicisc exist 1000k years back n it will remain in next100 years,if u go to a rich relative the poor relative always feel that he/she dont belong to the class,, its normal
Talking about racism, India come #1 in the world on the basis of isms like....Caste, class, religion, language, status, Rich, poor, North, South....etc. I did not have anything in India, but America gave me a Lot for me and my family, for which I am thankful. If I did not say it, I would be lying.. I am blessed 100%.
India is a diverse country so there are differences in the way people live in society. Usa is what predominantly white with little to no diversity, the moment the start getting little diverse all those problems are visible in USA . Like Trump making a wall on Mexican border to stop immigration. In Islamophobia USA rank is 2.And i shouldn't even be comparing but cast system was any day better than system of slavery in the west. The cast system got illegal in India with special privileges known as passive or positive discrimination i.e the reservation system for education and employment are being given for people who have faced discrimination in the past. That's why the pew research survey shows the wealth gap between people of different caste has decreased in India rapidly while the wealth gap between white and people of colour has increased in the same time in USA. So India did owned up its evil of discrimination and started paying retribution since 1950 while USA is still debating with no willingness to pay retribution for its participantion in slavery or racial discrimination. And we all know the views of Churchill and Nixon about people of colour. By the way just one question why USA closest ally is just Canada and not Mexico. And 2nd question is USA or any western country is planning on paying retribution of any kind in the future. Or are they just goona be the white saviors of the world.
If you are a dark skin indian woman you will face less racism in Us than in India ! Our colorism culture very present in indian film industry is a matter of national shame !
Very nice video akash bhai and very nice couple

Tell us something about Town planning of USA. How it is systematic and clean and well maintained
pretty good flawless
It’s clean but Indians come n spit n make dirty
I have been there in USA.
Cons of living abroad:
- The killer Instinct, the competitiveness that you got while facing daily challenges in India is not there, slowly, one become soft and chui mui.
- Food, family celebrations, festivals.. ln India, every week some festivals or celebrations is happening. Foreign is boring.
- sense of insecurity is there.. doesn't matter how much you enjoy, live an easy life... But the sense of belongingness is not there.
If you like to live a life in set channels then US is great. But if your life is out of normal or you like to live out of normal or your civilization question comes to your mind then US is difficult. Cultural wars in US will make life very difficult for Indians as their kids will get embroiled in it. We are very resistant to issues like corruption racism etc. Once GC backlog issue is resolved Indians can setup own civilization ecosystem. I do my part by approaching university to teach Hindi. Many Americans learning Hindi.
please come with more video like this
My visit to USA and stay with my daughter and son in law and grand daughter was un eventful. Me and my wife have really enjoyed. But we have a feeling that we don't belong to this place. India is all for us.
Smart couples.♥️🔥
