Honestly, I am exhausted by how this country functions. It feels unreasonable that a large part of my childhood is expected to be sacrificed preparing for an engineering exam like JEE, when even securing a top branch at a top IIT does not realistically translate into globally competitive compensation n0where close to USD 150k/yr
What makes this harder to accept is the mismatch between taxes and returns. We are charged extremely high effective taxes income tax, GST on nearly everything, and massive duties on assets like imported premium cars , yet the quality of public infrastructure, governance, and basic civic systems does not justify this burden.
I wanna feel pride and attachment toward my country, but it is becoming increasingly difficult. On top of that, global sentiment toward Indians is worsening. Racism is rising worldwide, and instead of countering stereotypes through strong governance, development, and global messaging, we continue to be represented by the worst aspects of our society online. That damages opportunities for everyone, especially young people trying to build a global future.
What is most frustrating is the lack of accountability - political, civic, and social. Instead of addressing real issues, we normalize dysfunction and expect the next generation to simply endure it.
So my Q is : which countries today still offer a reasonable path to stronger citizenship in a developed nation??
I do not plan to earn locally cuz I will work remotely afaik but acquiring a strong passport relatively quickly is important, as I intend to relocate to Dubai later for tax and business reasons
Where I would be willing to live in the future ....
