An individual based in Navsari, Gujarat, has shared on Reddit why they decided to return to Canada after spending a year in India. The post, uploaded by user @Economy_Push_8886 with the caption \u201cMoving back to Canada from India, India is not for us\u201d, has drawn mixed reactions and sparked debate on the platform.<\/p>\n
Why was India chosen in the first place?<\/p>\n
According to the Redditor, the decision to move was made to be closer to their parents. India was chosen over Dubai, but the experience did not go as expected.<\/p>\n
What were the main concerns?<\/p>\n
The Redditor said poor air quality caused constant burning in the eyes and left them feeling \u201ccaged indoors.\u201d Eating out was described as unsafe because of \u201clow-quality ingredients and unhygienic kitchens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Driving in India, they added, felt like a daily struggle due to \u201cbad roads, reckless behaviour, and frequent road rage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Festival noise, political issues, caste divisions, and social competition also contributed to the discomfort.<\/p>\n
What about lifestyle and services?<\/p>\n
Concerns were raised about drugs and gambling among youth, the high cost of education, and heavy income tax.<\/p>\n
The post noted: \u201c33% income tax for what? If you are successful and make 1Cr a year, you are paying 1\/3 to income tax for exactly what services?\u201d<\/p>\n
The Redditor concluded that the environment of \u201ccompetition, show-off culture, and inflated egos\u201d made it impossible to adjust.<\/p>\n
How did Reddit users react?<\/p>\n
