India: The roommate who cannot get their own life in order and wants to move in with you

**I am not making this post to bash India or justify the ill treatment of Indians, but to explain why and how we can turn this around to be a win for India and the subcontinent.** Im pretty sure we all have read the recent waves of hatred against Indians. A lot of it is actual racism true, but the hate from all across the globe from almost all ethnic groups indicate a need for self reflection. 1. Indians have a huge population. 2. Indians make the bulk or the majority of immigration to any western/developed country 3. The huge numbers and failure to adhere to the local culture displaces the locals 4. Add in other things such as lack of civic sense and any other behaviour of Indians that caused them to migrate away from India in the first place. Now, imagine yourself a local foreigner and you see thousands of people come in from a nation that has failed to develop itself and their movement into the country harms your way of life (inflation, lack of jobs). Racial prejudices aside, will you not feel a certain way? Speaking of Indians who emigrate out of India, they often cite reasons such as: 1. Not enough (good) jobs 2. Backwards social issues 3. Poor infrastructure and environment. **My advice to these people eager to leave India would be**. **Please reconsider. Stay back and develop circles of likeminded people who want to develop this country.** Leaving India will only ensure that the reasonable people in this country leave it to the morons in the country. Social change followed by economic change can happen (see china, korea, japan, Singapore), not necessarily in our lifetime but if this emigration of rational Indians keep happening the future of India is bleak. **Despite what many NRIs may think, the fortune of India will have a direct effect on your life even abroad.** As long as Indian features are visible on the faces of you and your family, people will see you as someone who left their country of origin in shambles. *A freeloader who should accept any ill treatment they receive*. Immigrants from east asia get treated in bad ways sure but there is a certain respect that comes from knowing that this person comes from a community that can build. Not solely take.
