The Dark Side of India: Why Living Here is Not as Glamorous as You May Think

When you think of India, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, visions of the Taj Mahal, mountains of curry and colorful festivals dance through your head. As one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, India has inspired countless tales of adventure and discovery, drawing tourists from all over the globe to its magnificent palaces and temples with promises of spicy food and picturesque scenery.

1) Cost of living
Being an expat in India comes with a lot of perks. The food is amazing, the nightlife is top-notch and it’s also home to some of the most beautiful women on the planet. But all that glamor doesn’t come without a price. At least, not for those who are trying to live comfortably without breaking the bank (and we’re pretty sure that describes most expats). In fact, many foreigners living in India find it difficult to live here; mainly because they can no longer afford luxuries like first-class airfare or five-star hotels. And don’t even get us started on what renting apartments here costs!

2) Getting stuck
The downside of living in a developing country like India is that life can be unpredictable, unreliable and inconvenient. A perfect example of how things don’t always work the way they are supposed to here: public transportation. Forget punctuality—buses and trains in Mumbai run on their own schedule and sometimes, you’re better off not bothering to wait for one because it might never show up. It’s these little but constant things that make life difficult here; if you want order in your day-to-day life, you need to create it yourself rather than expecting it to come on its own.

3) Lack of opportunities
The job market in India, especially in cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Bangalore—the country’s major economic hubs—is nothing short of a nightmare. Although the Indian economy is booming with several thousands new jobs being created every year, the problem lies in the fact that there are millions of people trying to get those same jobs. The result? Insanely high levels of competition and not enough opportunities for everyone. Simply put, there are too many candidates fighting for far too few vacancies.

4) Lack of professional socialization
The first thing most people notice about the Indian work culture is that it can be difficult to build relationships with colleagues. In Western workplaces, people will often bond over lunch or after work at a bar; in most offices in India, however, you’ll go home right after work and your colleagues will head straight to their families. You also won’t develop any sense of camaraderie because there isn’t much division between management and worker bees. Everyone sits together in rows (sometimes, literally on top of each other), and everyone works together—from the manager all the way down to the newest intern. It can make it hard for foreigners who are accustomed to more hierarchical environments and an emphasis on seniority.

5) Loneliness and isolation
Because cities are getting more crowded, many people are forced to move from their hometowns to big cities to find work. They then leave behind their friends and family in order to better themselves financially. This can create a sense of loneliness and isolation for some people. Because technology has made it easier for us to stay connected with our friends and families, there is less need for us to visit or live near each other physically, which means some people in the world will have fewer opportunities to connect with others.

6) Insecurity and pessimism
Like many emerging countries, India has a growing class divide. A higher and higher percentage of the country's wealth falls into the hands of fewer and fewer people every year. The rich grow richer and the poor have difficulty making ends meet. Pessimism reigns when you're on the bottom rung, so prepare yourself for a little insecurity if you're planning to move here. Don't be surprised if Indians seem to only focus on what they don't have instead of what they do—this trend is particularly true among Indians who are struggling financially. Those lucky enough to be better off tend to keep their business private, even though there's no shame in having money and success in India, either.

7) Clashes with traditional mindsets
One of the most notable disadvantages of living in India lies in the clash between traditional Indian mindsets and Western ones. Despite substantial efforts at development and growing openness, there are still plenty of cultural differences that cause problems for newcomers. For example, Indian culture tends to be patriarchal and women are often expected to be subservient. It can be difficult to fully integrate when you don’t agree with these kinds of attitudes.

In Conclusion
There are lots of pros to living in the world’s largest democracy, but there are some pretty serious cons that you need to know about. Because, like everything else in life, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. As Westerners making the move to India, we shouldn’t be blindsided by all the glory and glitz that makes it such a tempting option in the first place; it’s important for us to understand what truly makes up the dark side of India. The idea is not to scare anyone away from moving here; instead, an honest assessment will help prepare you for all that comes with living in one of the most diverse places on Earth.
