In his posts, Das argued that NRIs should be obliged to explain why they are not living in India if they extol its virtues. He clarified that it is acceptable to acknowledge India’s growth, but suggested that it is not at a level where people would want to live due to issues like air pollution. Das sought clarification on the reasons why NRIs do not want to reside in India, stating that it is disingenuous to portray it as the best place in the world while not living there.
Netizens engaged in the debate, with some providing valid reasons for NRIs not returning to India. One user pointed out the availability of cheap labor as a factor in NRIs’ fondness for India. Another user claimed that India is not growing and is overcrowded with people who contribute nothing, making it an undesirable place to live.
The debate highlights the complex reasons behind NRIs’ decision to live abroad and their continued connection to India. It also raises questions about India’s progress and the challenges it faces in improving the quality of life for its citizens.
