Please share your Insight

I’ve been living in Canada for 7 years, and while I love many things about it, there’s still a void in my heart—a longing for India. Part of this stems from how normalized hate towards Indians feels here, along with being reduced to stereotypes. In particular, within the dating pool, Indians seem to be at the bottom of the barrel.

Disclaimer: This is just my personal experience and opinion, so please don’t take offense if your experience in the West has been different.

My question is directed to those in India who have consciously chosen not to leave the country:

• Are you content with life in India, given the societal and community challenges we face?

• I’d especially love to hear from those living in smaller cities, as that’s where I see myself settling if I ever decide to return.

Any advice, insights, or words of wisdom would mean a lot to me.
