His comments, which went viral on social media, have sparked discussions on various topics ranging from quality of life and career growth to healthcare, family ties and the future of India. A Simple Question That Sparked A Huge Conversation Standing on a snow-covered street abroad, the young NRI asked a question that resonated with thousands of Indians online: If a person has already saved enough money to live comfortably in India, why do they choose to live abroad?
