Reddit User Asks NRIs The Reasons For Not Returning To India, Post Goes Viral

The query has prompted a diverse range of responses, with some users confessing that their sole motivation for staying abroad is financial gain.

Many Indians have chosen to settle abroad, driven by the promise of better career opportunities and financial stability. The United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Singapore are among the most popular destinations, offering a haven for Indians seeking professional growth and financial success. Education has also been a significant factor, with Indian students flocking to foreign universities for specialized courses and research opportunities. However, many Indians often face cultural adjustment issues, homesickness, and separation from family and friends. While some choose to return, others decide to make their adopted country their permanent home.

Recently, a Reddit user, who resides in the UK asked his fellow NRIs the reasons for not returning to India. ''We've seen threads where people have outlined what they miss about India when living abroad - conveniences, house help, family, festivals, cheaper cost of living, and more. These are true for the most part. So for those who've settled abroad - what's stopping you from returning?'', the post read.

The user then explained his reasons for not returning to India. He cited good infrastructure, work-life balance, a judgement-free society, and a low crime rate as his reasons for settling in the UK.
