and also the country could improve if all the govt. black money came back, we would in fact become rich. Check out the news about this and the movement against it. Plus the work here for indians is hard as hell. In a top company an indian working from 7 to 12 everyday except sunday earns only 800$. And for a family of 4 monthly expenses can amount to more than 1200$ if you're a foreigner working here, just pray you get the same income and work as you do in your country.

@Dhruv1223 it's for sure India is changing, maybe a bit too rapidly, expenses and salaries are increasing faster than anywhere else and at this pace it means India has already started loosing its attractiveness among the global out sourcers, which is a bit scary for India, because it means an economical melt down...

I would say if you are a foreigner and want live in india with foreign standards you will find the cost of living much higher than living in europe or US, well its a different issue if you want to adapt to the indian customers and standard of living. Returning back to india after living out of india for couple of years I find it very difficult to adjust here. There is noise every where, there is carelessness among people, there is no security for women. India will always be the same

@20009justin yup totally agreed with your comments, I only stay in India couple of weeks at every 2-3 months now and at each of my visits I find prices are climbing up rapidly ... India is loosing its profitability margin fast...

@Shokara2 Hey its k..... You can move to a remote part of the city...... or its outskirts where its really peaceful.... Dont worry, Indian BIG cities are a lot more different than American cities. In India, make a couple of good friends around (like neighbours etc), and they become like ur body guards and guides etc etc...

No need to worry as long as u choose a good, safe and peaceful localities.

excuse my grammatical errors. I'm typing on my phone.

@ozztheforester true. India really needs to stop depending upon multi national corporates for jobs and create job employment. The advocaters of this are saying one thing that'll be beneficial, provide higher education in regional languages, this way everyone will find it easy to get degrees in their own states. There wouldn't be a need for rural urban migration as all jobs would be easily available in their home state. Btw did you dance?

@udennyn oh you're so sweet. Not only will the people try to extract money from you but they might even try to rob and kill you or rape you. Beware. Not all people are like that and most will try to help you out, but if you're a foreigner stay in a group while traveling and don't travel late after dark unless you're accompanied by someone.

@dtmbcorp If you are coming to India for buisness its Ok but if you are coming here as a tourist then beware...u r going to waste ur money and its not safe for foreigners..specially states like Utter Pradesh..From Taxi drivers to all, all try to fool foreignes and take out as much money as possible..As a fellow human being I would aadvise you not to visit this fucking country and even if u want to visit always have some descent Indian with you..And never visit Utter Pradesh..

[udennyn]

@dtmbcorp if cities are bad then rural life is worse..In India there is a problem of electricity,water, infrastructure(no doubt its improving but with ever incresing population it will nmever be able to balance the load), corrupt police,adulterated food,sexual abuse..its a fucking country.No doubt it has become a good buisness hub but quality of life is very poor.This is the reason everyyear millions of people migrate to countries like Australia,Canada and u r coming to India..(Surprising)
