I'm an Indian 1.5 gen immigrant living in the west, and I'm by no means ashamed of my Indian culture or heritage. I would never move to India and I feel sorry for many of my Indian friends or cousins living there. They are too often emotionally stunted people, and held down by India's oppressive work culture.

The one benefit of living in India is cheap household labour...only possible because of a massive underclass of people!

Have you ever been to India? In particular Delhi and Gurugram, and the surrounding manufacturing/industrial areas.

Both of these comments have an inaccurate view of India in either direction, too romanticized or too doomerized. In reality it's just another country with people trying to do what's best for themselves and their families.
