Indian Americans, in today's world does moving out of india lead to a better or worse life?

Is racism big enough to be considered part of the decision? Are taxes and lifestyle actually better or worse with your higher cost of living? Do you progress less than your foreign colleagues in your career due to your color? Edit: Thank you guys for your comments but you left the last question unanswered. A distant relative once told me he has to work much harder than his colleagues to expect the same promotion due subtle discrimination of his color. Not sure if he was lying for attention but it's a great concern of mine
