'Young Indian citizens are losing faith in the country,' ex-Google engineer claims amid surge in US immigration interest
"India feels like it's at a point of reckoning," Debarghya Das, a former Google engineer and prominent tech influencer, noted in a viral post on X. His post, which has quickly gone viral has sparked a widespread conversation on why Indians are losing faith in their own country.
Das makes a strong point: "Young citizens are losing faith in the country as police, government, infrastructure and judiciary constantly fail."
Known for his direct approach, Das had previously questioned why NRIs, despite praising India, choose to live abroad.?
He had remarked, "I just think you should clarify the why. It's disingenuous to try to act like it's the best place in the world to be if you're not in it."
His latest viral post touches on this very point, suggesting that declining faith in the government is driving Indians to seek life overseas.?
Whether it's the mishandling of the recent Kolkata doctor's rape-murder case or the confusion surrounding the NEET exam postponement, issues such as these are making?India seem less attractive, even to those who would prefer to stay.
How did social media react?
In the comments, many agreed.
One said that it's the sense of security and a better standard of living that makes living abroad more appealing:
Another pointed out the flaws in India - its poor law and order system, the crumbling infrastructure and rising inflation:
A few others pointed out additional flaws, such as systemic inefficiencies and governance challenge:
But some said they would rather stay in India because ultimately, each country has its own set of challenges and no country is perfect.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think something could be done to address these issues, and if so, what?
