Viral Reddit Post Hails Return to India for Social Comfort, Faster Healthcare and Lower Costs

Reporters say the widely shared account remains unverified despite detailed claims about social comfort, healthcare access and money.

Overview

  • The Reddit user said they spent two years in Texas and two in Europe before moving to a tier‑3 South Indian town and working remotely on a comfortable salary.
  • They cited freedom from racial bias, peace of mind about their children’s schooling, and same‑day access to specialists as key advantages of living in India.
  • The post described financial and lifestyle upsides such as lower costs, daily proximity to family and cleaner air locally, with claimed commercial‑property income of ₹1 lakh and expenses under ₹20,000.
  • Stated drawbacks included less clean and less punctual public transport and petty corruption, including a reported ₹10,000 payment to expedite a commercial electricity connection.
  • Media coverage noted mixed online reactions and treated the narrative as anecdotal, with outlets even reporting the poster’s gender inconsistently.
