An Indian content creator living abroad has ignited a significant online debate after making a strong declaration in a viral post: “India kuch cheezon mein seriously next level hai” (India is seriously next level in some things). The influencer asserted that the country’s unique social structure, hyper-efficient delivery systems, and overall “warm vibe” simply cannot be replicated in foreign countries, particularly the United States.
The creator, an NRI (Non-Resident Indian), claimed that despite leaving India to pursue professional dreams, the quiet, structured life overseas is no match for the comfort and spontaneity found back home.
The Case for India’s Unmatchable Vibe
In her viral video and accompanying post, the influencer highlighted several unique selling points of life in India:
“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,” she wrote.
She elaborated on the emotional and social difference:
“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].”
Specific amenities the content creator claimed were superior in India include:
- Speed and Efficiency: Quick access to essential services like food delivery and rapid access to doctors.
- Customer Service: A direct claim that customer support mechanisms in India surpass those available in the USA.
Social Media Erupts in Debate
The viral video sparked highly varied and polarized reactions across social media platforms, touching upon the complex trade-offs of living between two worlds.
- The Pro-India Sentiment: Many users strongly agreed with the creator, expressing nostalgia and national pride. One individual commented, “Well said! India is the best! Staying abroad makes you realise it more!! Proud to be Indian!”
- The Practical Dissent: Others provided counter-arguments based on practical realities. A user living in Canada acknowledged the social benefits but highlighted crucial quality-of-life differences, posting: “I’m living in Canada for one reason: clean air. I was not able to breathe in India and took 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.”
- Critical Backlash: A significant segment of the response was hostile, demanding that the creator either return to India if she preferred the lifestyle or stop complaining and assimilate into the foreign culture. One comment read, “If you love Indian chaos so much, get the hell out of that country and back to your place at the earliest. No amount of cribbing, crying, moaning is going to help you.”
The strong reaction underscores the ongoing, multifaceted conversation among the Indian diaspora regarding identity, culture, and quality of life choices.
