There are times when different events from our life come together in such a surprising way that they start forming a single message. This happened to me recently when I listened to PM Modi’s speech at Ayodhya Ram Mandir Dwajarohan, when I watched the Gujarati movie Laalo (If you have not watched please go and watch this movie), and when I observed the economic situation in America. At first, these three things seemed completely unrelated. But the more I thought about them, the more I felt that they were pointing towards one very clear truth about our nation, our youth, and our future.
And today, I want to share that truth with you — directly, personally, and honestly — as if you and I are sitting together and talking.
Modi’s Message: India’s Body Is Free, but the Mind Is Still a Slave
In Ayodhya, PM Modi spoke with a lot of emotion and clarity. He reminded us that in 1835, when Macaulay introduced his education system, he didn’t just change how Indians studied — he changed how Indians thought. He planted the belief that anything foreign is superior and anything Indian is backward. Even after independence, this mindset stayed with us, silently controlling our choices.
Modi ji said that by 2035, it will be 200 years since that mental slavery began, and these next 10 years must be dedicated to breaking that invisible chain once and for all.
When I heard this, it struck me deeply because I see how strongly this mindset still affects us. Especially when it comes to the idea of moving abroad, particularly to America, many young Indians feel that life automatically becomes better the moment they step on foreign soil.
But is that really true?
Or are we still trapped in the same old belief that “foreign means success,” even when reality has changed?
The Laalo Scene That Reflects Our Life Today
Let me share one scene from the Gujarati Movie Laalo that stayed with me.
In the movie, Laalo gets trapped inside a farmhouse. The door is locked from outside, and no matter how desperately he tries, it simply doesn’t open. He keeps pulling, shouting, pushing — nothing works. For a moment, he feels hopeless, as if he is stuck in a situation with no escape.
Then, out of frustration and divine inspiration, he decides to break the wall instead of wasting time on a door that will never open. He starts breaking the wall with all his strength. He gets tired, frustrated, injured — but he keeps going.
And here is the magical part: on the other side of that same wall, Lord Krishna is also helping him, breaking it from His side. Laalo cannot see Krishna, but the support is real. He thinks he is fighting alone, but he is not. Krishna is guiding him quietly, matching his effort, and showing him a new way out.
That scene teaches us something powerful:
When life traps us, the solution may not be the door we are trying to open. Sometimes the door is not meant to open at all.
Sometimes we must create a new way — a wall we must break — and trust that Krishna will meet us halfway.
How Modi and Laalo Connect to America?
Now you may wonder:
Why am I connecting PM Modi’s speech and a Gujarati movie to America’s situation?
At first, it may seem strange to place PM Modi’s Ayodhya message, a scene from the Laalo movie, and the current condition of America in the same discussion. But when I looked deeper, I realised that both Modi’s words and Laalo’s struggle point toward the same larger idea — an idea that explains why young Indians must think twice before blindly chasing the American Dream today.
PM Modi spoke about breaking free from mental slavery — the habit of believing that anything foreign, especially Western, is automatically better.
Laalo, trapped in the farmhouse, showed that escaping a problem doesn’t always mean running through the door; sometimes you must break a wall and trust that Bhagwan is helping you from the other side.
Now look at our youth today:
- Many aren’t breaking their own walls.
- They are simply choosing the “foreign door,” believing it will open their future.
- And this is where America enters the picture.
Because the harsh truth is:
the foreign door our youth are trying to run toward — especially America — is no longer what it used to be.
Economically, socially, and politically, the cracks are visible.
And the dream that once looked golden is now filled with uncertainty.
So the connection is simple but powerful:
- Modi tells us to break the illusion of foreign superiority.
- Lalo shows us that running away is not the solution; creating your own path is.
- America’s condition proves that chasing old dreams is risky when the ground beneath them is shaking.
This is why it becomes important to understand what is actually happening in America — not the America from films or Instagram, but the real one that affects immigrants first.
The Hidden Reality of America That Everyone Ignores
Let me share the real picture in simple language.
1. Dedollarization Is Shaking America’s Strength
Countries around the world — including India — are slowly reducing their dependence on the US dollar. BRICS is expanding, global trade is changing, and America’s financial control over the world is weakening. This shift will affect jobs, finances, and opportunities in the US.
2. America’s Debt Is Out of Control
With over $34 trillion in debt, the US economy is running more on borrowed money than on real growth. When a nation survives on loans, instability becomes a part of everyday life.
3. Government Freebies Are Drying Up
The US government has clearly started reducing benefits like student loan forgiveness, healthcare support, and unemployment schemes. Immigrants will feel this pressure even more.
4. The AI Bubble Is Getting Dangerous
Right now, America is pushing AI companies like never before, but many experts believe the valuations are unrealistic. If the bubble bursts — like the dot-com crash in 2000 — immigrants will be the first ones to lose jobs and visas.
5. The NRI Life Is Not Instagram Life
High rent, loneliness, mental pressure, cultural mismatch, and limited family support are the hidden truths nobody posts online.
So Is Going Abroad Wrong? Not Always. But Going Blindly Is.
There are genuine reasons to move abroad: higher education, specialized skills, unique job opportunities.
But going just because “America is better,” or because “everyone is doing it,” or because “NRI life looks golden,” is a decision based on illusion, not truth.
If you don’t understand the global situation, the economic changes, and the real challenges, then chasing the American Dream is like trying to open a farmhouse door that will never open — you will only exhaust yourself.
India Is Growing Faster Than Ever
Instead of running away, think about what India is becoming:
- A global economic powerhouse
- A startup and innovation hub
- A leader in digital transformation
- A country with strong cultural roots
- A nation filled with young energy and new ideas
If you give even half the effort here that you plan to give in America, you can build a life that is stronger, happier, and more meaningful — with your family, your culture, and your identity intact.
A Message to Indian Girls
For years, marrying an NRI was considered a success story. But today, life abroad is far more stressful than people admit. High living costs, limited social life, strict job rules, and absence of family support create silent struggles.
On the other hand, marrying a hardworking Indian entrepreneur gives you a future filled with growth, partnership, stability, and cultural togetherness — something money alone cannot buy.
The next decade is the decade of India, and the decade of Indian entrepreneurs.
Final Thoughts: Modi Warned Us. Laalo Showed Us. America Proves It.
PM Modi reminded us to break the mindset that foreign is superior.
Laalo reminded us that running away never solves a problem — breaking the wall does.
And America’s situation reminds us that the dream we are chasing may not be the future we imagine.
So my message to you is simple and sincere:
- You are not stuck.
- You are not alone.
- Krishna is helping you from the other side.
- But you must take the first step.
- Break your wall.
- Build your life here.
And contribute to the India that is rising right in front of us.
Don’t keep this message only with yourself; share it and help one more Indian break that old mental wall. Share this blog with one friend, one cousin, or one young Indian who is still chasing the old American dream.
