They will say in a survey, but they will not move in reality

"They want to return" is so much different from "they are returning".

[arunaabraham]

It's all nonsense. All NRI's will say they want to return to India during retirement years, but they will realise once they come to India and start living here that the present day India is not the India in their memories. It's impossible for them to adjust. They will eventually go back to West.

The actual reason is earn in dollars and spend in INR 😂

[kubairruplal]

No way, they want house girls Ramu kaka and show the locals how wealthy they are

Once an Indian stays abroad for an year, they are unable to move back to India. I've seen my own friends

Indian living standards have massively improved in the last two decades. There’s a Porsche dealership just 1 Kilometre from where I live, and I’m not living in Mumbai or Bangalore with absurd property rates. The day india manage to tackle it’s waste management and infrastructure quality issues we’ll be just as good as the developed nations.

It's 100% true, I worked in African Uganda and Zambia many years, But India is always the Great India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

I already did return home . Built a nice cottage and very happy I made this decision . True .. home is always home

[JayKumar-jwrm]

Now a days in India standard and quality of life is also improving . If you don’t earn in abroad and want to live with savings and pension, living in India is cheaper .

I'm also a senior citizen settled in India. I'm a US citizen, but home is home, though I do miss United States of America, it's clean, very orderly traffic and food is also good. Clean air is what I'm missing. Quiet neighborhood, have tons of reasons to praise America, but alas... Home is home though I have nobody here.

We NRI has 10 trillion dollars. 1. Make justice system modern and fast. 2. Make incentive like NRI towns with the same facility as west 3. Create a programme for investment in critical STEM programme, Universities and Start ups with guaranteed minimum security- like preservation of capital.

The thing is once they retire they have to spend they went because they want to earn more now they want to spend less as simple as that. Mathematics

[bharatnaidu]

What she says is right in a way.
I have my friends in their mid 30's and all of the guys want to come back as their parents are getting old they own houses but their better halves do not want to..

For them it's better abroad without relatives and in laws...

[greenvalley]

A child is always going to come back to his/her mother..Because it is only place where he/she gonna find peace..

[Dr_Debashispanda]

Bhai I m in Europe for 3 years. Everyone is interested to come back home... ❤️

[shekharkale]

They come to India for retirement. Here cost of living is less. They mostly go to Chandigarh, Pune, Manglore etc

[endisnear]

Yes india is a great place to retire if u have lots of money otherwise for the middle class and lower it's hell

[drpatel]

I approve this message. 👍I am american that wants to retire in india someday.

[hemantthorat]

I also want to return to my village and do farming and just relax, but then once I wake up in the morning I keep going to office everyday.
