This is not a brain drain problem.
This is an institutional betrayal problem.
Indians do not leave because they “hate India.”
They leave because India’s systems have made it irrational to stay honest, safe, and hopeful.
Below are 20+ structural realities, repeatedly visible in daily life, news reports, court records, and lived experience, that explain why the moment an Indian gets a job abroad, PR support, or a visa—they leave.
1. Life Has No Value Unless Someone Dies (Sometimes Not Even Then)
Road accidents, industrial mishaps, medical negligence—
If there is no immediate death, the police actively discourage FIRs.
“If no one died, what’s the point?”
This is not an exception. This is practice.
Survival disqualifies you from justice.
2. Police Exist to Manage Cases, Not Enforce Law
- FIRs are denied
- Complaints are delayed
- Victims are harassed into compromise
- Influential accused never appear
Law enforcement has evolved into conflict suppression, not accountability.
3. Bribery Is an Administrative Shortcut
From traffic violations to building permits, from hospital beds to police protection—
Bribes are not corruption anymore. They are pricing mechanisms.
The poor pay with fear.
The middle class pays with savings.
The rich don’t pay at all—they own the process.
4. Judicial Timelines Are Measured in Generations
Cases last:
- 10 years
- 20 years
- 30 years
Witnesses die. Evidence decays. Victims age into irrelevance.
Justice delayed is not justice denied.
It is justice intentionally exhausted.
5. Accountability Stops at the Bottom
- Low-rank officials are suspended
- Senior officials are transferred
- Ministers resign briefly, then return
- Judges face “internal inquiries” that vanish
Power in India does not fear consequences.
It waits them out.
6. When Authorities Are Caught Taking Bribes, Nothing Happens
Caught on tape.
Caught with cash.
Caught red-handed.
What follows?
- Bail
- Silence
- Reinstatement
- Promotion
The crime is not corruption.
The crime is getting caught publicly.
7. Air That Kills, Water That Poisons
- Smog comparable to smoking multiple cigarettes daily
- Sewage mixing with drinking water
- Industrial effluents in rivers
- No accountability for long-term health damage
People don’t migrate for luxury.
They migrate to breathe and drink without dying slowly.
8. Roads Are Lawless Zones of Privilege
- Speed limits are optional
- Drunk driving is negotiable
- Influence decides guilt
- Victims negotiate compensation instead of justice
If the offender is rich or connected, the road belongs to them.
9. Insurance Exists Only on Paper
- Claims denied for “technicalities”
- Endless documentation loops
- Victims exhausted into withdrawal
Insurance is sold as security, but functions as risk outsourcing back to the victim.
10. Economic Oligarchy Disguised as Free Market
Large contracts, infrastructure projects, monopolies—
Repeatedly circulate among a tiny circle of favored business houses.
Competition exists only in speeches.
Cronyism exists in balance sheets.
11. The Middle Class Is the ATM of the State
- High indirect taxes
- Minimal social security
- No healthcare safety net
- No education relief
The middle class funds:
- Freebies
- Loan waivers
- Populist schemes
And receives nothing but lectures on nationalism.
12. Freebies as Political Dole, Not Welfare
Common forms include:
- Free electricity
- Free water
- Free transport
- Free ration
- Free cash transfers
- Free gadgets
- Loan waivers
None tied to productivity.
None tied to skill development.
Welfare has been converted into electoral dependency, not upliftment.
13. After Elections, Loot Begins
- Natural resources diluted
- Public assets privatized cheaply
- Regulatory capture
- Institutions weakened
The state does not govern.
It extracts.
14. Media Is Not a Watchdog, It’s a Partner
- Advertising pressure
- Access journalism
- Selective outrage
- Narrative management
Truth is filtered by:
- Who pays
- Who grants interviews
- Who threatens licenses
15. Election Oversight Is Toothless
- Open distribution of cash
- Use of state machinery
- Hate campaigns
- Violations without consequence
Democracy survives procedurally, not morally.
16. Criticism Is Treated as Disloyalty
- Legal harassment
- Online intimidation
- Financial scrutiny
- Selective enforcement
Institutions are no longer neutral.
They are aligned.
17. Whistleblowers Are Silenced, Not Protected
- Careers destroyed
- Cases fabricated
- Violence ignored
- Narratives buried
Exposing corruption is more dangerous than committing it.
18. Honest Citizens Are Soft Targets
If you:
- Follow rules
- Pay taxes
- Refuse bribes
You are delayed, denied, and harassed.
Honesty in India is not rewarded.
It is punished quietly.
19. Safety Is a Privilege, Not a Right
Security exists for:
- Politicians
- Bureaucrats
- Celebrities
- Business elites
The common citizen navigates:
- Unsafe streets
- Unsafe hospitals
- Unsafe workplaces
20. Merit Is Exported, Mediocrity Is Promoted
Talented Indians leave not because they lack patriotism—but because patriotism is weaponized against them.
Merit threatens systems built on loyalty, not competence.
21. Institutions Are Not Broken—They Are Captured
This is the hardest truth.
The system isn’t failing.
It is working exactly as designed—for those in power.
Every party.
Every state.
Every cycle.
So Why Stay?
Why stay where:
- Law is optional
- Justice is delayed
- Safety is conditional
- Truth is dangerous
- Hard work funds corruption
People don’t leave India.
India pushes them out.
And those who stay—trying to build, reform, or speak—are systematically exhausted, silenced, or destroyed.
This is not pessimism.
This is pattern recognition.
Until institutions are independent, accountability is real, and power fears consequences—
Leaving will remain the most rational decision an honest Indian can make.
