It's time for Indians to quit their obsession with the 'American Dream'
India Today ^ | 9/23/2025 | Global Desk

For decades, young Indians were told that success meant heading west. Wealth, global recognition, and a career on the international stage could only be earned by leaving home for the United States. Silicon Valley became the promised land, Wall Street the pinnacle of ambition, and the H1-B visa the golden ticket. Families built dreams around it, students tailored their education for it, and India’s brightest minds set their sights on crossing oceans.

But now, that dream faces a harsh reality. President Donald Trump has imposed a staggering $100,000 fee on new H1-B visas, a barrier so steep it threatens to shut the door for millions of skilled professionals. For Indian IT workers, it may mark the end of an era.

Fix your own country through good governance.

If they’re so smart, they can stay home and work to fix their own country.

The nation of India seems really, really obsessed with promoting a brain drain of the Indian subcontinent. Get all those smart Indians out of India! We don’t need them at home to build up India!

Weird. Almost like they are actually promoting the colonization of America.

Maybe they should study the US Constitution and work to get those principles implemented in their own government.

Skip the 16th amendment though.

The trouble with India is extreme crowding, poor plumbing and insane practices.

India can end their caste system as a start.

“For decades, young Indians were told that success meant heading west.”

…why were they told that? Because India knows that India is a sh—hole? With no future for its little whiny inhabitants? And like so many other countries they just assume we’ll be their future?

Modi and the Brahman class who make billions off of the Russian oil trade have ruined the “American Dream” for India’s intelligentsia.

The question now is , “ How will they like the ‘China Dream?’ “

I will miss their brilliant ladies, who are so extraordinarily bright and attractive.

America moves on without them.

What??? And miss out on all of the feces on the sidewalk where women and men just stop, pull up or down their clothes and squat down in front of you and let loose???? Where bacteria thrives in the unwashed food that unwashed hands have prepared????

Indians should stay home and strive to be the country that everyone wants to break into. If they’re so damn smart they should be able to achieve that in five years’ time.

Uhhhh, I won't - well at least most of them anyway. I can do without the shrill accusatory tone, which seems to be the default for the vast majority of them. Brilliant/bright as a whole? I haven't seen a lot of evidence of that either - unless you consider micromanaging and hectoring to be among those qualities.
