An Indian content creator living in the US has sparked an online debate after highlighted aspects of Indian life that she feels can't be replicated in the West. The content creator emphasised the unique comfort, warmth and spontaneity found in India compared to the "silent streets and scheduled friendships" of the US. In the video, the specific points she mentioned include quick delivery systems, street food and festivals, social life and warmth and access to services and amenities like doctors.
"Living abroad made me realise ki India kuch cheezon mein seriously next level hai. Delivery ho, street food ho, festivals ho ya social life — India ka vibe, warmth aur comfort kahin replicate hi nahi hota. Hum dreams chase karne nikalte hain… but silent streets aur scheduled friendships ke beech realise hota hai. There's truly no place like India, yaar (We are out chasing our dreams, but between silent streets and scheduled friendships, we realise there's no place like India)," she wrote in the caption of the video.

Public Reaction and Debate
The video generated a range of mixed reactions online. Many users agreed, sharing her sentiment about the lack of social warmth and convenience in Western countries. Others criticised her perspective, arguing that she was ignoring India's significant challenges, such as pollution, infrastructure issues, and high expenses.
Some comments noted that basic needs like clean air can be a major issue in India, which is why some choose to live abroad despite the conveniences mentioned.
One user wrote, "Well said! India is the best ! Staying abroad makes you realise it more!! Proud to be indian!"
Another commented, "You are 100% right . I'm living in canada only for one reason , clean air . I was not able to breathe in india and taking puffers every 5 minutes . Sometimes I don't understand what is more important in life Fresh Air to breathe or all the things you mentioned ? Still confused."
A third said, "There is no end to complaining. If you have chosen to stay in that country then shut up your mouth and adopt their way of life, learn how to live with whatever you got. If you love India chaos so much get out of that country and back to your place at the earliest. No amount of cribbing, crying, moaning is going to help you."
