I have no issue with anything you said. You do not have to justify why you live in America. I am not posting this in normal times. To repeat what I said in my post, a good number of Americans no longer want us there. And for those Indians who don't yet have the green card or US citizenship, precarious life on the H1B visa is another big issue. So I suggested it may be time for some people to reexamine the "where should I live" question. I live in a small village in a very rural corner and use the local roads (some good, some bad), shop in the local shops, enjoy roadside tea, join the feast at the local temple and so on. I am quite happy with life here, in my little corner of Bharat. My presence makes life slightly better for local people and I am grateful to be able to make that small difference.
