Moving abroad can mean very different things depending on where a person is in life. For some, it may bring better pay and new opportunities, while for others, returning home may be easier after years of saving.
Bihar-born Arham Ishteyak, who is based in the US, shared his view on why age and financial stability can change the way Indians abroad look at moving back to India.

He Says Age Can Change The Decision
Ishteyak divided NRIs into two broad groups: people in their 20s who are still building their careers and those above 40 who may already have savings, property and a settled life. He argued that returning to India could be less difficult for someone who has already built financial security abroad.
“Tum log yahan 2 crore kama rahe ho, wahan jaoge toh 1 crore kamaoge,” he said. For younger professionals, however, he believes the difference in income and opportunities can be much bigger.
Ishteyak said he comes from the hotel industry and compared what he could earn in India with his current earnings in the US. He said earning Rs 20,000 in India would be difficult for someone in his position, while he can make more than Rs 20,000 a day in the US.
“So mere liye toh matlab beyond the level hai,” he said.
He Wants Young People To Explore First
In the caption, Ishteyak explained that someone in their 40s with savings and property may not see a major financial change after returning to India. “For someone in their 40s with savings, property and financial stability, moving back to India might not change much,” he wrote.
“But for someone in their early 20s, the difference can be massive.” He also made it clear that he was not asking Indians to stay abroad forever. Instead, he encouraged young people to experience life outside their comfort zone before deciding where they want to settle.
“I’m not saying leave your country forever. I’m saying leave your comfort zone while you’re young. Explore. Struggle. Earn. Learn. See how the world works. Then decide where you truly want to build your life,” he wrote.
Social Media Had Mixed Views
The post received support from some users, with one person agreeing that young Indians face strong competition and financial pressure. “True bhai, we don’t have the privilege to ‘spend our time w family’ we have to compete in a race where there are 100x smarter people than us.”
Another user simply wrote, “Sooo trueee.”
However, not everyone felt Ishteyak needed to explain his decision to live abroad. One person responded, “Sir, u need not justify leaving India. U made a choice which is good for you. Be happy. Stay safe,” the user wrote.
