A US-based Indian woman has triggered a conversation on social media after sharing her perspective on why many Indians who move abroad often postpone — or completely abandon — their plans to return home, even after reaching significant financial milestones. The discussion began after Kumari Arti posted a video on Instagram explaining why some Indians who initially move to the United States with a goal of earning and saving money eventually decide to settle there permanently. Her comments quickly gained traction online, with users weighing in on the factors that influence such life-changing decisions. 'Nobody Actually Wants To Go Back' In the video, Arti spoke about what she believes are some of the key reasons many Indians choose to remain in the US despite achieving their financial targets.
“Everyone says they will earn 10 crores and go back to India, but nobody actually wants to go. One reason is that the salary is so good that whenever you want, you can easily send 50,000 to 100,000 rupees to India. Second, the education here is absolutely free and it has a lot of benefits. There is neither any corruption nor any pollution. So, even if people have 10 crores here, they still wouldn't want to go back to India,” she said. Also Read | Who is Stephen Buyer?
