A 30-year-old Bengaluru man set fire to an online debate after expressing doubt as to whether it was worth staying in India. The man, who earns a combined household income of nearly £ 60 Lakh per year with his wife, has placed on Reddit about the everyday challenges they live in the city. “We are doing well on paper. But the quality of life makes me question whether it is even more worth living,” he wrote and expressed his frustration about poor infrastructure, endless traffic jams, health care shortcomings and rising living expenses in the country. “I live in Horamavu (Bangalore)-It takes me 40 minutes to cover 3 kilometers (I already feel drained by the time I get to my office). Every road has bottlenecks, breaking or unearth. Construction is never ending. He mourns. He also expressed concern about the tax system in India, with comparisons with other countries with high taxes such as Canada and Germany, where health care and education are offered for free. “We pay big taxes and get nothing in return. Scregrab of the viral post. The man also talked about the general decline in living conditions.” The quality of life is just depressing. Everywhere dust. Noise. Stress. Road rage is normal. You can’t walk quietly, you can’t breathe clean air. I don’t feel safe to leave my wife alone after 7pm, “he wrote, adding that expenses are rising while their earnings remain silent.” I really want to contribute to this country. I want to stay here and build something. But it just feels like the system is designed to push the working class. I believed that every rupee we paid in taxes ended up in the bags of politicians. I ask honestly. he asks. His message quickly attracted the attention of the Internet, with many Reddit users indicating that he is considering emigrating. “Leave India and settle elsewhere if you have the choice. Things will not improve if the quality of life is determined by politics. We have done the same and have never been happier,” one user informed. “Things are not going to get better unless there are massive shaking at the lower and middle levels of bureaucracy. Moving abroad sounds wise, but it will come at a cost; comfort one of them. If you are willing to sacrifice and struggle for the first few years, then do so, rather than the current mess. “It will remain a feodalistic society. If you are one of the feudal gentlemen, then remain; if not, then leave. If people are always to a better and more comfortable lives, so there is nothing wrong with migrating. Make your research, make the effort and decide where you feel happy, suggest a third user. First Published: April 27, 2025, 11:30 am Ist
