    A new survey conducted in 23 countries has revealed that residents of the Netherlands, Canada and Australia are the most satisfied with the areas where they live. Back home, Indians round off at No 6 in the list. People living in South Korea were the most unhappy with their local area, with only 34 per cent satisfied.

    No matter where ever you go, after a while you always feel like coming to your own home. Whether your home is small, not decorated with fancy things, might even not have all amenities that one desires, but then living in other's home will always give you a feeling of discomfort and a feeling no belongingness. At heart you will always feel happy coming back to your very own sweet home. Same is with our country. I feel happy living here. That’s right that there are lots of areas where India needs to improve and develop and this means that we should help in this process, being the member or rather the citizens of the nation. We try to mend and solve the problem of the house; we don’t stop living there or run away. So we should participate in developing India. Migrating to different other nations will not solve the problem of nation or for that matter even ours.

    Emotional Bondage

    India is a developing country; right now it might not be able to provide each and every facility to its every citizen but the culture and emotional bonding in relations as in here is nowhere else in the world.
    People of every cast, creed, and color stand united in this biggest democratic country of the world.
    It proves the happiness of Indians.

    no as of now i am not satisfied living in India. the problem being with the government. with its lazy actions on urban development programs like road construction and other schemes the living has been made miserable. even the prices are soaring up for the present situation, for the government doing nothing on it.

    i happy for that i belong to a great nation india. the people, its culture, and traditions are all awesome. even the rural areas have got their sense of air which is a pleasurable experience of life. but its the suburbs and urban areas of india which are half developed with broken roads, and wastage lying on roads, which make living miserable.

    The needs of people cannot be satisfied until death. He just want to earn earn and earn and enjoy life to the fullest. For this reason they go to different countries and stay there as a citizen. but at th end of day when they are tired they miss their roots which belongs to india. So what is the use of going there and earn when you miss your own country. I am very happy living in india at least i have that mental peace and satisfaction that i am living among my people and my country.

    Just because it's your home you feel you are happy in india? Does it make any sense? Well, If I would have been at your place I would have also given the same answer but having a home in india does not make any sense of happiness. one should be satisfy from the atmosphere in which they are living in. The environment of India has been deteriorated and there is no safety of girls at all. So for me its not a happy moment to live here..

    No country is perfect and so does the people. We have to make it perfect by doing our duties and fulfilling our responsibilities. You can face many issues in different countries that you will not face in india. This is the much better place to live in. I am proud to be an indian and living in india!

    We all should be happy living in the place that gives us food, shelter and clothes. These are the basic needs of people and if the place fulfills all these needs then people should show respect to that place no matter if that place has one or the other drawbacks and who does not have? Which country is spared from the drawbacks. Each one has. So I am happy living in India as this place has given me so much in terms of everything.

    I am very much happy living in India because India is very much unique in every way. The culture, tradition, the moral ethics, the love of parents and siblings cannot be seen elsewhere in any families around the world. Though we are not sufficient in good infrastructure such as good roads, expensive technology at public domains, we are very much self sufficient in other aspects of social living.

    Hello!

    I am an American in the states, and I am unhappy with living in a major city at this time. I have considered moving back to a semi-rural area, as I originally grew up in a rural area. I have also considered moving to India in order to not only escape my increasingly oppressive government, but also be closer to people who have a history of gold and silver as part of their culture, a value that I share.

    Where I work, I am exposed to an international customer base. I feel like every time I talk to an Indian or a Hindu person, I see an "island of hope" within such people, because I understand in my limited way as an American how important gold/silver plays a role in Indian, Asian, and Hindu cultures, not just as adornment (like Anglo-Saxons do), but as money, as savings, and part and parcel the cultural underpinnings of society. These people in the US can teach those of us unaware how we can incorporate these values so that we can protect ourselves and our families financially against our own government and feel good about ourselves in the process.

    Back to the topic. I am asking for advice as to what solutions there are other than running away to a different area. I'm a bit lost right now. I will admit that I have felt distressed when I return from short trips out of the city; I don't want to come back to the things that cause me distress. I want to deal directly with these issues, but I'm not sure how at this time.

    Thank you,
    A humble American

    Tiger,

    I would like to help fill in a missing detail that should make it a bit clearer for you what is happening.

    I believe this is what is happening, from the perspective of an American who lives in a country that has THE world reserve currency. I am not bragging. In fact, I dread what our punishment would be for a country that abuses that "world reserve currency" status. Your government has been held hostage by the American government's action of abandoning the Bretton Woods system of monetary management, which served to maintain exchange rates and keep them stable. However, the US went off the gold standard unilaterally on August 15, 1971, meaning that you could no longer exchange your stack of US currency from tourists and foreign customers for gold/silver internationally. This is essentially an international default. The US government had already defaulted on the gold standard to the Americans in the 1930s, just so you know. This means that 40 years ago, America embarked on yet another fiat currency experiment, just the latest one in a human history littered with these failed experiments over the centuries. This was just the latest step in 200+ years of the moneyed class' attempt to institute a pure fiat system over the course of centuries.

    What your government has had to do to protect itself at your expense is maintain the exchange rate, otherwise, you would be seeing exchange rates of 40 rupiyas to the dollar, 35 rupiyas, 20, 15, and so on. The government can't allow that because that would affect the growth/maintenance of the export industry. It would cause your merchandise and services to be more expensive to American consumers, and hurt sales. In order to maintain the exchange rate, which stands around 49 rupiyas and some, the government has to expand the money supply in order to match the growth of the money supply right here in the US. However, it has the unfortunate side effect of exporting inflation to your countries. This is THE cause of your price inflation. Our government is causing it.

    As an American, I want to apologize for my inability to regain control of our government so that we can terminate the greatest scam on the face of the earth; trading our increasingly worthless dollars for your merchandise and services via foreign exchange, and then if, like China in the near future, your country attempts to retaliate for our exporting inflation to your country beyond an acceptable point, the American government simply issues the order to the financial sector to clear off ALL US $ reserves held by your government. Right now, we have the ability to wipe out China financially with just a few keystrokes because the trillions in US $ reserves is not paper dollars like those shipped to Iraq, but in electrons on a computer. China would have worked hard for 30 years, for nothing. Because they had received a "promise to pay" in lieu of the real thing. Just imagine; I print up paper money from trees in the old days, and ultimately from an appropriation or authorization from Congress ordering someone to simply type "87, nine zeros, and the enter key," and trade it for real, substantial things. I can immediately declare the US $ void and null, and you would be left with nothing. I am ashamed of our government retaining the ability to do so unilaterally.

    Your government probably would not be doing the price increases if there had not been a world reserve currency and we continued living on some gold/silver backed trading system instead of fiat.

    Again, I'm sorry.

    Definitely I am happy living in India. Nevertheless, there are end number of issues that India is facing but home is home. There can be no better place than your own nation. It gives you due respect, freedom, rights, which you will not find in any other nation. So, I am always happy to live in a nation like India which is rich in culture, heritage, literature, natural resources and traditions. The nation provides warmth, love, affection and a sense of belongingness which cannot be found anywhere else on the earth.
