“Very close to the house”: a discussion in the Post Sparks about the safety of NRi abroad against India after the killing of the United States

A recent tragedy in the United States-the killing of an Indian man of a shock hotel through diaspora societies and a deep personal conversation on the Internet. In the discussion of Reddit entitled “A Trying Tribary Hit from the Home”, one of the users has seized many NRIS with: the fragile line between the dream of living outside and the stark risks it requires.

“Read the news felt anxious,” read the post. “It could be someone I knew. It could have been one of us.”

The reflection goes beyond sadness, and draws attention to the hidden conflicts of migrants, especially those who work in motels, fuel stations and other jobs facing long customers. While the brilliant social media publications offer dollar and seas in the city, the reality, as Redditor, indicated, is often a nights spending on its own, continuous exposure to strangers, and the risks that many families in India do not completely understand.

The most prominent publication is three realistic facts:

• Safety is not automatic: Living in the United States does not necessarily guarantee a safer life; In fact, some functions that are played by NRIS can be more dangerous than those they left in India.
• Society is everything: For migrants, building a support system abroad is vital – not only for the companion, but as a safety network in times of crisis.
• Families in the country see only part of the image: While parents may think that their children “settled”, they often remain unaware of uncertainty, tension and risks associated with migrants.

The writer concluded by reminding that it resonates with many all over the diaspora: “Moving to the outside is not only related to the check or passport. It is related to what you give up, and what risks you deal with, and the extent of your willingness to deal with the invisible side of the life of immigrants. For me, this story is more than just a major step.

The killing has sparked talks about the exposure of migrant workers in the United States, as many contestants have resonated similar concerns-the urges of families, policy makers and community groups to realize the human cost behind the so-called “American dream”.

The post also drew the attention of many Internet users, who shared their own views on this issue.

“There are many unaccounted mental health problems in the United States. I know about the response of people who want to glorify the United States and shit in India. You look at school shootings, shooting in shopping centers, road anger, and statistically thinking, it will never happen to you, but it is considered everything good. One user wrote:” If you are a middle class or struggle, you are better in India. “

Another opposition: “Really? In India, a MLA or their son/daughter car struck in an accident, or simply ends up in the wrong end – you are likely to be faster. Things are more dangerous in India, with a bud! I think you never lived until you know nothing beyond the addresses.”
