Whenever I hear about India, life in India, travelling to India, it seems beyond awful.
I've talked to some Indians online, and it's been hit-or-miss, which is to be expected. I'd also expect IRL Indian people to be mostly reasonable, like, you know, people everywhere? Somehow though, everything I hear online about India (the country) is that it's dirty, misogynistic, and rude. I know that there's a higher chance for people to share the extremes---meaning that terrible experiences in India get shared more than normal experiences do---but it's still remarkable.
I actually wanted to visit India very much, I've even mentioned in my last (or second to last?) post that I'm planning to learn Hindi, but this stuff is messed up. I wonder if Goa is much different from the rest of the country. I wonder what India is really like.
I've worked with a very large amount of people from India from the demographic combination of both being in IT and spending most of my career in the Toronto area.
There is a reason they moved here (Men and Women both) and didn't stay in India. Many go back to visit family regularly, but I've worked with hundreds and I don't know of a single one that ever did return or planned to return to India.
Oh, that's... Wow. I mean, I know there's A LOT of Indian immigrants all over the world, including over here, but I didn't have the impression that they didn't ever want to return.
Yeah the general sentiment was that it was a much better quality of life here in Canada
