Maybe Indians still think of the United States and also the Canada as a more open opportunity.

There are much more opportunities here.

This might all change, but there are much more opportunities for them too.

They still talk about the American dream, despite what has happened in the last year or so.

So I don't think Europe can compete.

Even the UK also.

They might think of that, but this will be heavily registered because they will see that it's passing the buck, basically, to Europe.

So the challenge for the Modi government is to create more opportunities and bring the diaspora back to India.

And to some extent, people are now talking about the H-1B visa crisis.

Many of the Indians are going back, and I've seen this in social media talks, that there's maybe time to go back home.

So for these people, maybe easier to get jobs because they are already well-trained.

But what about the rural Indians that are looking for jobs?

I think we have to expand the economy.

And that's the challenge.

So if any government, whether Modi or a successor government, tries to export its problem to Europe, that is not going to succeed.

Because most Indians, they will keep a foot on both sides.

They will keep a foot in India.

and they keep afoot in the immigrant country.

But I think given a chance to come back and have a good, reasonably good life in India, they'll come back to India.

Get money.
