It may sound bizzare but how most land owners of Gujarat and Punjab are leaving state while having much more land influence than any other caste. Patel's of Gujarat and jatt Sikhs are the major illegal immigrants going to us why. Gujarati Jain's baniyas Nagar brahmins rajputs are not the one of immigrate from Gujarat to us. Even they have less land influence in politics than Patel's or patidars in Gujarat. Same with sikh Punjabi khatris brahmins bhatias or aroras or agarwals who have less influence in politics and land in Punjab. The main question is how a majority land owing caste of these two wealthy state of Gujarat and punjab are illegally immigrating whereas other don't why the question is that even Patel's influence and dominate Gujarat politics same with sikh jatts of Punjab

[@sparshsingla2533]

As land owners, are accustomed to easy money due to MSP based faulty procurement, reducing these communities with inability to diversify and innovate, whereas others have evolved with whatever little they had and have become affluent now, and can not leave the country to start afresh again (Darwinian cultural evolution)

[@RijanKhanal-jh6t]

@@sparshsingla2533 I think in Patel's case yes they have evolved. In my sight they have fully captured the Surat diamond market replacing palanpuri Jain's who were the rulers of a market few years ago. Billionaires like karsanbhai Pankaj Patel savji dholakia or chirayu amin are from Patel community. But again further divide happened with leuva and kadwa. These created further tension.I think rich Patel's should really help poor one's since the further educating and making Thier community more business oriented will help them in progress. Like I said Gujarat is diverse state they are 5 sections of baniyas 2 section of rajputs 4 section of brahmins. Every community is enterperneur in gujarat. I think Patel's are progressive and rich community. Even Patel's are getting trafficked by Thier own Patel's. So patidar community should think about it and focus and support patidars of north Gujarat. For the case of jatt Sikhs it's different they have hijacked Sikhism and brainwashing khalistan. Rather than enterperneur mindset they are targeting on hard labour. These people stopped and killed many Hindu Punjabi khatris aroras agarwals during 80s in the name of bhinderwal. So the whole enterperneur community of Hindu Punjabi khatris aroras agarwals shifted to neighboring Haryana and Delhi. Now kapoors oberois khanna thapars chopras are in Delhi than Punjab. There presistent hate towards enterperneur community never instited them to learn from khatris. This is the evolution stopped for jatt Sikhs hate grew the land which was sometimes mother to them is now just money source of kanneda Australia us nothing more than that. I hope they understood earlier

How's Ur reason for jatt Sikhs illegal immigrants to USA do u think Punjab is also ruled by BJP and modi😂😂😂 so they are migrating no bro😂😂😂the reason is simple brain drain among these 2 community is so high that they wanna go usa without having any proper skill and education that causes the problem. Same with haryanvi jaats. Brain drain is among other people as well but they dream about USA only if they education or skill. That's why tamilians malyalis teleguites kannadigas goans or Marathis himachalis or Uttarakhand or other state people don't dream of USA if they know they are uneducated or poor. This is the thing.

[@newbegining7046]

It’s not just Gujarat, across india traditional land owning castes and families haven’t prospered much. Key reasons 1) farming labor rates are no longer viable 2) traditional farming families are still living false pride with no real substance and they didn’t focus much on education 3) most of these farming lands were never split between amicably between next generations and most of these lands are under litigation

As a punjabi I can relate to this story. The peer pressure of residing in India and not going abroad is outrageous. People will assume you to be a failure.

Just imagine investing this amount in India with all the resources you already have in your home country. But they are not entirely to be blamed for this.

I agree with all of you. Point is, you shouldn't risk your life to go abroad so desperately. Your own country isn't that un-livable. The peace of living with your own people is unique. I earned a lot of dollars for years there. But i knew i went to loot them and work my @$$ off for the money, live peacefully back in my homeland. Some choose not to return, because they've found peace there... But if you're killing yourself and your family for going to a country, sure you're doing something wrong.

This is an excellent depiction of the desperation to achieve the so-called "American dream." I lived in America close to where these crossings took place. Life there is very tough, much tougher than India. Unless you are guaranteed to make over $10,000 per month (which is over Rs 8.3 lakhs monthly), don't even think about moving there. You will suffer like never before. You will have to deal with racism, discrimination, gangs and gun violence, tough weather, no government control of the prices of any products and many people with no moral values. Many in the US Indian community are doctors, IT people, scientists, engineers, business leaders, university professors, etc. Unless you are in these sort of fields or in some professional field in which you want to do research and advance, don't move there. You will also be looked down upon by the Indian community and never be able to fit in. It is a cutthroat system financially. America can easily take back whatever it gives you and much more. You will suffer and maybe even turn into a beggar. Americans are suffering a lot with great debt and so much mental illness. There is no American dream. This is a complete myth. Many Americans move to other countries south of their border like Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, etc after retirement since everything is too expensive. The American dream is only for multimillionaires and billionaires. As long as you can afford the basics of life, you can manage in India, etc. India has its problems but these are nothing compared to America. I am glad to be back in India. Be wise and may God bless you 🙏🏼 ✝️

[@MARIOLOVES]

Bro I agree with you on what you said about racism & gang & gun violence in US but when it comes discrimination, it even happens in India like when Indians move within their own country for example When north eastern people are moving to other parts of India, they’re being discriminated & even beaten to death. Speaking of people with no moral values, India has enough of them too like think about they are many in India who says rape is consensual, do you think they have moral values.

Let's be realistic. India will never be a developed country in it's lifetime. Even if India grows, it will get stuck in the middle income trap forever. India will also face major resource shortage due to overpopulation and face the wrath of climate change. India's resource base isn't large enough to support an economy too large either. Also the West and China can sabotage India in a jiffy if it grows too much. Also most Indians don't have unity and are still backward minded and tribalistic. Corruption and being unethical has become so deep rooted that it's become impossible to fix it. Also, the number of talented Indians leaving India is increasing at an alarming rate every year and many of these Indians who left India brag about India being the next big thing which is extremely comedic. The most mind boggling thing is that even if God comes down from heaven and says that India will never be a developed country, pa jeets will call him anti Indian and continue living in their fantasy of India being a developed country. Moreover, countries that actually became developed bragged less and did more. India brags more and does less. To conclude, India may improve in some areas, but it always stay a corrupt 3rd world uncivilized sh8hole. Hence, forget your dreams of being a developed country pa jeets.

Your children will be raised in American mindset only. Visa problem will be there, they have hire and fire policy, you can be thrown out of job at any time for no reason, everything you buy house, car etc will be by mortgage and the saving potential is very less.

This trend was there even before independence, we Indians have no problem working in McDonald's and Domino's abroad but we cannot do the same here back in India. List of reasons why most of the Indians wants to go abroad- The demand for NRI grooms has rapidly gone up almost everyone signing up for the matrimonial sites wants an NRI groom. The problem is you don't get any benefit for the taxes which you are paying in India The work culture in Europe and the U.S is far better than India

@@ChipsAndCurd the problem is we don't understand it. Middle class people dream big so they leave this country in search of better opportunities, for instance the cost of purchasing a 2bhk house in a metropolitan city is from 50 lakhs to 3 crores. The cost of living is also increasing day by day. The main problem is the population and the limited opportunities. For every one job opening there are approximately 5000 people applying for it and sadly most of them are either unemployed for long or they are overqualified for the job. The government is not doing enough. The reservation system is also burdening the general category people.

It was never a financial problem for this man, I can see he had managed crore rupees just to immigrate, which he for sure can use himself to start any kind of small business, anywhere in India. It was psychological pressure, FOMO and little bit of NRI who boasts in their village, and fake social media narrative. I have friends their, who did great degrees here in India, cracked GRE and IELTS and still struggling to find part time job their. I could have even understand if India was a war torn nation in world, that he took risk to flee, as dying was imminent here or there. But this act of risking family lifes is just a failure of social support, family values and logic within these part of gujarat

Only Tamilnadu doesn't use caste nama officially. The person will have his name followed by his father's name. The rest of India should do that. When I was young I asked my mom, why we do not have a family name. She said we have but we don't use them officially. I understand that in my community we do not marry the same family name directly. That was the only thing she told us. She never says anything of high caste or low caste just make sure you do not marry the same family name. I am 4th Gen migrated out of Tamilnadu.
