Survey Says: 40% of Indians Consider Leaving U.S.

From NDTV: "American Dream Fading? 40% Of Indian Americans Consider Leaving The US, Survey Reveals Top Reasons." And the top reason? TDS. From the article:

    For many Indians, the United States was once the ultimate destination, but for a growing number, the American dream is now slowly fading away. A survey from the Carnegie Endowment shows that the Indian American community is becoming increasingly worried, and many are now thinking about leaving the United States. Conducted with YouGov, the survey of 1,000 respondents reveals that nearly 40% of Indian Americans have thought about emigrating because of a mix of political, economic, and social pressures.

    "A small minority of respondents, 14 percent, say they have thought about leaving the United States frequently, while 26 percent have occasionally thought about it," the survey notes. "Interestingly, the most cited reason is frustration with U.S. politics, mentioned by nearly six in ten respondents (58 percent). This is followed closely by concerns about the cost of living (54 percent) and personal safety (41 percent)," the survey added. 

    Notably, there are more than 5.2 million people of Indian origin residing in the United States today.

    The political climate is at the heart of this change, with 58% of those thinking about leaving saying it was the main reason. Widespread dissatisfaction with Donald Trump's second term has contributed significantly to this sentiment. About 71% of the people who answered said they didn't like how he handled the economy, immigration, and international relations.
