The long-standing question of why Indians living in America do not wish to return to their homeland is actively being discussed on social media. A video published by Rupesh Pandey has once again sparked heated debates on this topic.
Rupesh, who lives in America, showed his home and surroundings. He noted that within a five-minute walk from his house, there are many places where one can spend an entire day without getting bored. In the video, he demonstrates parks, basketball and tennis courts, greenery, and pedestrian paths.
He shares his impressions, recounting how he sometimes visits tennis courts, and how children fish near the lake. During a walk, he meets a woman walking her dog. According to Rupesh, such small moments make daily life very calm and pleasant.
The video caption emphasizes that people stay not only for money. They value the fresh morning air, the presence of nearby greenery, the ability to play in parks, and a low level of traffic pollution. When such a lifestyle becomes habitual, it is difficult to give it up because the quality of life often surpasses the salary size.
After watching the video, users began discussing the quality of life. These aspects include a clean environment, the presence of parks near home, places for sports, a safe and quiet neighborhood, streets suitable for walking or cycling, as well as improved public services and work-life balance.
Some commentators argue that such conditions are easily available in residential areas of America. However, others object, pointing out that in India, these things cannot be compared with the possibility of living with family, social connections, domestic help, and a sense of belonging.
Reactions to the video were divided. Many completely agree with Rupesh, asserting that cleanliness, amenities, and a calm atmosphere are the main reasons. Nevertheless, a significant number of people believe that life is not limited only to parks and fresh air; being among family, friends, culture, and loved ones brings special pleasure. Some also note that infrastructure in India is rapidly improving.
This video has once again raised an old discussion: are people really moving abroad only for higher earnings, or is daily life, a clean environment, and a better lifestyle keeping them there?
