‘The world doesn’t want us anymore, Indians facing backlash everywhere’

A Reddit post by an Indian doctor has gone viral, sparking intense discussions online after suggesting that hostility towards Indians is growing worldwide.

The post, titled “The world doesn’t want us anymore: Indians facing backlash everywhere,” claims that stricter visa policies and recent incidents, including racially charged violence in Ireland, highlight a growing resentment against Indians abroad.

The author argues that it may be time for Indians to rethink their migration aspirations and instead focus on building secure lives in India.

“It feels like our own people have ruined opportunities for the younger generation to build a life abroad,” the doctor wrote. “Indians are everywhere, and I fear that in the next four to five years, most countries will completely close their doors to us.”

The post further cites examples of tightened visa rules in Canada, a rise in racism, and unrest in other nations. Referring to the recent unrest in Ireland, the doctor noted that even locals known for their friendliness “have reached their breaking point.”

The author also highlighted protests in Australia over immigration policies, scheduled for August 31, and claimed that similar sentiments were evident during travels to the U.S., UAE, and Thailand.

Concluding the post, the doctor urged readers to reassess their priorities: “It’s a hard truth, but maybe it’s time to move away from the obsession with settling abroad. Perhaps the smarter choice is to build stability here and see foreign travel as a vacation, not an escape.”

The post has ignited a broad debate, with users divided, some agreeing with the perspective, while others dismiss it as anecdotal and overly pessimistic.
