You think India is the next big tech hub after the US? Let me burst that bubble real quick.
Argument #1: India has a massive network and I am in my comfort zone.
Reality:
India Hopium peddlers on twitter keep talking about the "massive network" and "comfort zone", but what's the point when your money is literally evaporating? The rupee is in free fall against the USD, and now our brilliant FM decided to slap GST on used car sales. Because apparently, a 40% income tax and 18-27% GST on everything wasn't enough! 🤡
Argument #2: I have my family here. Can't leave them uWu
Reality:
"But muh family support system!" Yeah, good luck enjoying that support when you're spending 4 hours daily in traffic because our infrastructure is from the colonial era. Want to escape traffic by walking? Sorry, our cities are literal concrete jungles with no pedestrian planning and a random porsche driver can ram into you and unalive you in a moment, while walking away scot free with an essay+community service.
Argument #3: Tech is booming and no country can beat it.
Reality:
Sure, if you enjoy toxic work culture and living in a bubble while half the country struggles with unemployment. There is a reason why homelessness, scams and extortion by beggars and trans-people is on the rise in Bangalore. Because, if a city is doing really well then freeloaders will arrive en masse into the city to ruin it.
Argument #4: You are middle class today but wait and see your property/stock portfolio.
Reality:
Dumbest argument I have seen from Liberal Art douchebags from DU who know nothing about Econ101. You're paying 40% income tax with literally NO ROI, where's that tax money going?
Property prices? Mumbai/Delhi/Bangalore/Hyderabad are competing with London on property prices while offering infrastructure from the 1970s. Add in unbreathable air (literally), subpar food quality, and healthcare systems where everyone's trying to scam you.
Argument #5: But the opportunities and risk-taking culture!
Reality:
What opportunities? You mean the opportunity to pay insane school fees + 50 different "extra curricular" charges that make UK private schools look cheap? Or the opportunity to "take risks" while living in your gated society, completely disconnected from the reality.
The cherry on top? Even your basic necessities are a joke. Want clean air? Sorry. Want to walk anywhere? Get a car instead. Want quality food? Good luck finding it. Want work-life balance? We don't do that here. Want reliable insurance? Everyone's trying to scam you.
