Why expats don’t want to live in India

Women expats feel they are unwelcome in India

A survey of 12,500 expats around the world has ranked India as among the 10 worst countries to live and work in. India secured the 57th position among 65 countries, falling eight places from its rank in 2016.

Despite giving good ratings for high salaries and low living costs, expats in the country struggled with pollution, long working hours, culture shock, personal safety concerns, poor family life and below-par quality of life.

The annual Expat Insider survey covers respondents from 166 nationalities living in 188 countries. The country also fails to get a thumbs-up from women expats: more than half (nearly 52%) said that they feel unwelcome here due to their gender. In this respect, it ranked among the bottom five along with Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Japan. Around 31% of female respondents moved to India for their partner's job or education.

Though 47% had a postgraduate degree or PhD and another 37% had a bachelor's degree, nearly a third stayed at home to look after the household. This could be possibly due to the fact that 47% of expat mothers found it difficult to find childcare in India.

This year, India's ranking fell 10 places to 39 out of 45 countries in the Family Life Index, largely because of limited options for children's education. Around 29% of expat parents were unhappy with education in the country, with 54% sending their kids to international schools and 54% also finding education difficult to afford.

India also ranked last in the Family Well-Being subcategory. India also performed poorly in the Working Abroad Index, with a rank of 49 among 65 countries. Nearly three in every 10 expats in India were unhappy with their work-life balance, probably due to long working hours, with expats on full-time jobs clocking in 47.7 hours per week, three hours more than the global average.

Before moving to India, nearly 36% of respondents believed it would have a negative impact on their personal safety. This did not change upon their arrival, with 29% being unhappy with security. However, India's low cost of living and high salaries work in its favour, with the country getting a high ranking of 9 in the Personal Finance index. The country also wins points for its friendliness.

We should thank the 60 years of neglect by Congress for turning India into an open toilet!

Much has been written on the Indian community in the US, UK and Australia. But relatively little is known about the success stories of the over six million-strong Indian community that has made Europe its home.


In an attempt to introduce this “resilient” community who adopted Europe as their home, braving all odds, from different language to culture, a photo exhibition in New Delhi highlighted the lives of this community through the lens of three award-winning photo journalists.
A diamond merchant from Antwerp, a celebrity restaurateur from Rome, a classical dancer from Luxembourg and a famed Rajasthani folk artist from Paris are among the successful Indians who have been featured in this unique photo essay, which has been sponsored by the Delegation of the European Union, to capture how they have blended in the European way of life.
Among the famous personalities that have been profiled by the photo journalists are Gautam –known by his first name – who arrived in Antwerp from the sleepy but well-known Indian town of Khajuraho, famous for its temples with erotic sculptures.
In 30 years that he has spent in Antwerp, Gautam has grown to own a number of diamond outlets and established himself as a hotelier, a chocolate retailer and a philanthropist.
Mickey Sehgal landed in Italy in 1980 with only $500 in his pocket. He is now popular as a curry king owning Rome’s most famous Indian restaurant by name of “Maharaja” with an annual turnover of over 1.5 million euros. His restaurants have been visited by the Whos Who of Hollywood and Bollywood for its genuine taste of Indian food.
With the Indian diaspora in the 21 EU states estimated to be over six million, or about 20 percent of the total population, the idea of featuring them in the photo essays was conceived by the Delegation of the EU.
Titled the “New Homelands: The Indian diaspora in the European Union”, the exhibition in a very subtle, heart-warming and nostalgic way traces the life journeys of some of the notable Indians who not only struck gold in their new homes by learning new language, custom and tradition, but still carry a piece of India afloat with them.
Giving a peep into their lives and how they still treasure their Indian roots are photographers Paroma Mukherjee, Kounteya Sinha and Shome Basu, who criss-crossed Europe on a month-long tour to capture it through their lens.
According to EU Ambassador to India Tomasz Kozlowski the cultural project explores the myriad journeys of the diaspora and their contributions to the countries of the European Union.
“I believe this exhibition will surprise and delight visitors but I am also hopeful that it will deepen understanding and goodwill between the peoples of the two biggest democracies in the world.”
The photo exhibition also showcases how the Indian culture and its rich tradition have made an inroad on the cultural and social landscape of Europe.
Shome Basu’s photo of a young woman, Tanya Desai, who was born and brought up in Luxembourg, performing Indian classical dance Bharatanatyam during ‘India Day’ celebrations gives an interesting peak into the lives of Indians living there.
Similarly his photograph of Indians playing cricket in Sofia, Bulgaria, shows that passion for cricket continues even in their adopted country.
The photo shows Prakash Mishra, who is heading the Asia Team and has in his team people from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Japan.
Rashmi Bhatt came to Italy 20 years ago to do Ph.D from Florence University on Italian Art history and could never go back. A musician since the age of 13, Bhatt is now one of Europe’s most famous percussionists who has successfully collaborated with Sting, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Shakira and Zakir Hussain.
“Indians have become an integral part of the community, wherever they have settled. They retain some Indian traditions and customs but they have learnt the language and customs of their country of adoption,” the Delegation told The Indian Diaspora.
As the exhibition showed lots of interest on the subject, the Delegation has launched a Facebook page called IndiansinEU (https://www.facebook.com/IndiansinEU/?ref=nf).
They are also planning to start a website to feature their stories after many approached them about sharing their success stories.
The curator of the exhibition and consultant art advisor for the India Habitat Centre Alka Pande said that “highlighting of the Indian diaspora in the EU has not been attempted in this manner through visual culture before.”
“It has been an illuminating experience for the viewers to see how well the Indian community has integrated in the country of their choice.
"..The range and variety of professions the Indian diaspora has chosen and the deep struggle and success of many. It is a great story of resilience and success,” Pande told The Indian Diaspora.

India is among the 10 worst countries for expatriates to live and work in—for a second straight year.
India ranks 55th on a list of 64 best countries for expats, according to the 2015 Expat Insider survey conducted by InterNations GmBH, a Germany-based expat social group. The survey covered 14,000 respondents.
Ecuador topped the list for a second year in a row, while Kuwait was at the bottom. Here is the complete ranking:

The Expat Insider survey’s rankings were based on nine parameters, which included subcategories like work-life balance, job security and quality and cost of childcare and education.

The table below shows India’s ranking on various parameters for 2015, compared to a year ago:

Parameter	2015 rank	2014 rank
Cost of living	11	13
Working abroad	51	52
Ease of settling in	44	46
Family life	34	28
Personal finance	9	14
Quality of life	58	58

The survey for 2015 included a new category—the best places for expatriate women versus men. Not surprisingly, women expatriates find it harder to live in India compared to their male peers. India stood 49th in the ranking for countries favourable for male expatriates, but in the ranking for women expatriates, India ranked 53rd.
The survey also said the country was one of the worst country for expatriates’ kids in terms of their health and safety. “Only half (of the expatriate parents) are generally satisfied and a dismal 5% say the conditions are very good,” the survey said.

Pakistan among 50 worst terror financing countries

ISLAMABAD: The latest Basel Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Index figures Pakistan among the 50 worst countries in terms of money laundering and ‘terrorist financing’.

This study by a Swiss group, the Basel Institute on Governance, listing the worst countries with greater chances of money laundering and terror financing, ranks Pakistan at the 46th position among in the list 146 countries made part of study. Tax havens like some offshore jurisdictions and some other countries are not made part of this study because of non-availability of complete data about them.
The Basel Institute of Governance, which works with the public and private sector to counter corruption, released its annual Anti Money Laundering (AML) index 2017 in the third week of August and some of its findings were reported by international media.

The Basel AML Index measures the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing of countries based on publicly available sources. A total of 14 indicators dealing with AML/CFT regulations, corruption, financial standards, political disclosure and the rule of law are aggregated into one overall risk score. By combining these various data sources, the overall risk score represents a holistic assessment addressing structural as well as functional elements in the AML/CFT framework.

To date, the Basel AML Index is the only index issued by an independent, not-for-profit organisation ranking countries according to their risk of money laundering and terrorist financing. According to the introduction of the report, the results of the Basel AML Index are driven from 14 indicators using publicly available sources such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Transparency International, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum. The scores are aggregated as a composite index using a qualitative and expert-based assessment.

The Basel AML Index 2017 has given Pakistan a score of 6.64. The worst score are Iran (8.6), Afghanistan (8.38), Guinea-Bissau (8.35), Tajikistan (8.28), Laos (8.28), Mozambique (8.08), Mali (7.97), Uganda (7.95), Cambodia (7.94). These countries top the list. The best performance in effective monitoring of banking and all financial transactions, according to this study, is of Finland with a score 3.04. Thus Finland falls at the bottom of the list and ranked at position 146. Other countries with best controls and monitoring of financial transactions after Finland are; Lithuania (3.67), Estonia (3.83), Bulgaria (3.87), New Zealand (3.91),

Slovenia (4.02), Denmark (3.05).According to Basel AML Index, the Basel Institute has conducted extensive research in calculating the final results following academic best practices and has its methodology reviewed and validated by an international and independent panel of peer reviewers. The committee also checks that the rating is accurate, plausible and continues to capture the latest development in the area of AML/CFT risks.

According to the report, it is important to note and understand that there are no reliable quantitative data on money laundering available. The Basel AML Index does not measure the actual existence of money laundering activity or amount of illicit financial money within a country but is designed to indicate the risk level, i.e. the vulnerabilities of money laundering and terrorist financing within a country. Measuring the actual existence of ML or TF activity would require reliable quantitative data on these phenomena, and this is not available.

The Basel AML Index ranks countries based on the overall score and provides data that is useful for comparative purposes. However, it should be pointed out that the primary objective is not to rank countries in comparison to each other. Rather, the Basel AML Index seeks to provide an overall picture of a country’s risk level and to serve as a solid starting point for examining progress over time.

I find it ironic and hilarious that in a thread called "Why expats don't want to live in endia" there are two dirty shuddar khatris named lashkari and jumman shekhpura who are pretending to be Pakistanis. They won't even admit to being from the land of no toilets on an internet forum let alone live in that feces and urine infested helll hole. You two geniuses need better training.

india is far far ahead in every field than pakistan ,stop crying .

don't lose patience ,try to do some positive thinking , learn to see your real face in mirror .
abusing shows your low upbringing ,so do not try to show where do you come from.

look how your own experts accept indias superiority .

 

[Ferrari]

Lol at endian claiming to be a ahead of Pakistan even though 500 million dirty endian shuddar khatris do not have toilets. At least go and figure out where to take a dump then try to compare your open toilet of a country to Pakistan. I just called out two dirty trolls who won't even admit to being endian on an online forum so it is you who seems to be crying just like a baby with a dirty diaper.

You trolling a Pakistani forum shows how insecure you are, but it is understandable because the smell of human feces and urine has damaged your brain.

Asking the US to defend you from Pakistani missiles is typical of a coward whose army which might as well be a glorified police force who has failed to even control unarmed Kashmiris for the past 70 years despite deploying 700,000 terrorists there killing women and children. Additionally, your leaders have given up the autonomy of your nuclear weapons to the US.
