The source is not good. Higher ambition /= status. One of my cousin is leaving India for pollution reasons alone as his health is very delicate.

@ pimpinainteasyThat said Indian middle class is indeed one of the worse but for completely different reasons. Indian middle class believes that they are entitled people and at the same time they also present themselves as victims. They literally dictate the government policies by portraying themselves as most influential people. This middle class also try to speak for the lower class people. Both the lower and upper middle class of India suck big time. They are scum of India.

I really don't understand the point of such articles. Why does the writer care about what middle class thinks or does? Is writer bitter because he/she wanted to settle in the US and couldn't do so? Most of the time, this kind of writing comes off as pure whining and nothing else.

Most of the time, this kind of writing comes off as pure whining and nothing else. While it might be a rant, there is no denying the inherent truth in it. Sample this: My aunt told my mother (her sister) that the family of friend her daughter would never agree to marry her son (that would be yours truly) cause we belong to a lower strata of the great Indian middle class. To her face. And she was speaking the truth. The different strata of the Indian middle class are busy in flaunting their status and in the quest of one-upmanship.

That is true in some cases but not exclusive reason as to why Indians leave India. Indians leave India because there is no modernity in India. Not even in rich India. Life outside India is far more comfortable from different point of views. People move to America to earn money. Yes, they can earn in India too but earnings in America are significantly more.

I know there is some truth in it, Man. That just makes me think the writer is stating the most obvious things. Does their family know you are in IITan? It might change their opinion. You are better off without such people, man! They will always judge you for how much you earn instead of what kind of person you really are.
