akhil0236 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Today you would find all the so called bright people from India wanting to go to USA . Why is it so :1. Everybody is doing it so it would be the right thing to do and you don’t really have to think it over for a while.2. Parents have enough money so we can go and have fun in america for two whole years .3. America the dream place . Even if they are not treated well there its a foreign land .4. Don’t want to live in India coz of many problems here . Would rather serve another nation than try to stay here and make India a better place .5. The easiest way to get out of India and indian problems . MS anywhere else would be much expensive and much difficult to get it .6. The social status you get back at home . In India foreigners are treated as Gods and thus you think a hundred times before returning to India (if you don’t lke the foreign land and its treatment ) because back here people think you are a fool to come back .7. The money you get there . When you convert it into indian rupees its a great deal but reality check says it is not enough to make a decent living in america but again when they tell people its around 20-30 lakh rupees you feel so good.8. India allows dual citizenship, so you can be a first citizen of america and a second citizen of India and thus you can say you are connected to India.People can have more reasons but the sad fact is I have hardly found any people who actually went to america to study.
