NRI's Post on India's 'Unliveable' Cities Sparks Migration Debate

Imagine someone from India who has been living and working in the Netherlands for five years.

They had to leave the Netherlands because of a problem with their permission to stay.

When thinking about where to go next, they felt that coming back to India wasn't a good option.

They explained that big Indian cities feel too crowded and noisy to live in, and it's hard to find fun things to do or good jobs outside of just technology.

This person's thoughts made many other people who live abroad talk about where they might move.

Some suggested other English-speaking countries like Australia, Canada, or the UK, where they might find jobs and be able to settle more easily.

The conversation shows that many young Indian professionals are looking for more than just a good salary; they want a good life with a balance between work and fun, and a place that feels right for them.
