Are You Moving To India? Read This First!

India is a country known for its people, its history and its yoga! For a person moving into the country from abroad, things can get a tad bit difficult but you will never be bored. While you will find the people to be friendly and a sudden introduction to a large number of cultures and languages, the crowd might feel a bit overwhelming. The opportunities are ever growing in the country but before you move to India, you must know its pros and cons. We have compiled this brief list for you.

3. Some of the best educational institutions and the oldest are located in the country.

4. As people are looking for jobs, it is easy to hire domestic help and make life much more manageable.

5. People are ready to help, you just need to ask for it. In most urban cities, a majority of facilities are available at your doorstep with a wide range of options for recreation.

6. While certain Indian cities can be expensive to live in, for most people India is an affordable country.

7. To experience a simple life. A large number of people in India live in rural areas living simple, quiet lives. If you are someone who likes to study people or know more about their problems, visiting Indian villages is a good idea.

8. There is ample public transport available to choose from. You will not need to immediately invest in a car or a bike.

11. Last but not the least – the food in India and the sheer variety of it is to die for.

THE CONS

1. If you come from a country where people value personal space a lot, moving to India can get difficult. People here consider themselves to be a large family.

2. Be prepared to have a lot of patience with all kinds of institutions and paperwork.

3. Unless you are moving to a semi-crowded urban city, a lot of time can be wasted in travelling to work or to other places due to traffic snarls.

4. The heat. In most urban cities, barring the three months of winter, it can get really hot. If you are not coming from an equatorial region, the summers can be too much to bear.

5. If you are driving, you might find it hard to see that many people do not follow traffic rules. Getting around can get difficult if you are used to comfortable transportation.

6. Pollution – one major reason why people avoid moving to India. To be fair, the pollution exists in urban and semi-urban areas. There are tranquil places in the country to explore and take a breath of fresh air.
