Are you dreaming of going to America or Canada? Excited to leave India for a life full of wealth, comfort, and fun abroad? Well, it sounds great! Pack your bags, say goodbye to your family, and get ready for the ‘Great American Dream.’ But before you jump on that plane, let’s take a closer look at what really happens when you go abroad.
First, imagine living far
away from your family and friends. You’ll be thousands of miles away in a place
where festivals like Diwali, Holi, and Ganesh Chaturthi are just normal days.
No celebrations, no tasty sweets, and no family to enjoy it with. Instead, you
might find yourself alone on weekends, missing all the love and joy that you
could have had back home. Is it worth trading all that for a life where you
might feel lonely?
And what about the work?
Yes, there are jobs abroad, but they might not be what you expect. Many
educated people end up doing jobs like washing dishes, cleaning toilets, or
serving in restaurants. Imagine spending so much money to go abroad, only to do
work that you wouldn’t even think of doing here. But hey, you can still take
nice photos and post them on social media to make everyone back home think your
life is perfect. But deep inside, will you really be happy?
Now, let’s talk about the
culture in America. It’s very different from what we know here in India. The
family ties, respect for elders, and our Hindu values are slowly disappearing
there. If you move abroad, you might find yourself in a culture that doesn’t
value the things we hold dear. Is that the kind of life you want?
And to the young women in
our community who dream of marrying someone abroad—please think twice. Life
abroad is not as easy as it looks. You may face cultural problems, legal
issues, and the loneliness of being far from your family. Many women who marry
and move abroad end up isolated or depressed, with no one to help them if
things go wrong. And what if your dreams of a happy life abroad turn into a
nightmare?
But what if, instead of
chasing a dream abroad, you used that energy to build a better life here in
India? Our country is full of opportunities, rich in culture, and offers strong
family support. You can grow your career, celebrate our festivals, and stay
close to your loved ones—all without leaving your roots.
I’ve had a taste of life
abroad when I spent two months in Australia as a teenager. I spent time abroad
and realized that the true joy is here in India, with my family, our festivals,
and the opportunities that our country offers. I chose to stay back and build
my life here. And I’m happy I did because nothing compares to the love and
support of family.
And yes, I’m sharing this
because I want to connect with everyone—whether you believe in staying in India
or dream of going abroad. Let’s meet, discuss, and debate both perspectives, so
we can understand each other better and work together to strengthen our
community. These are just some general views, but there’s so much more to
explore and talk about. Because the true Great Indian Dream is one that we can
shape together, right here in our own country, with the people who matter most.
So, before you think
about leaving, think about what you’re really giving up. Let’s stay in India
and make it a better place for all of us.
