[Female/24] why does everyone want to leave india?

As a 24-year-old, lately it feels like everyone wants to move abroad. I've noticed a growing trend among my peers and even older generations: the desire to leave India for better opportunities abroad.

Most of my cousins have moved to the United States while many of my friends are going to Germany/France/Netherlands.

I am still unsure. I have faced SH in this country in public places and so have many other women I know. My parents have always encouraged me to pursue my dreams and if I decide to go, they will fund my education.

Hence asking this. Is it worth the high taxes we are paying in this country to stay or go abroad make some money and live life for ourself?

What is making you stay in this country?

I'm already making 32L base in India. That's why the opportunity cost seems high.
