Answer to the question - Incredibly unhealthy levels of competition. Narrow focus on just marks above everything else. As a middle aged man in my 40s living in the UK and raised in Chennai, I remember the pressure I was under as a teenager and how horrible it was. Why would I inflict that on my child? Yes there is academic pressure here also, and we do need to spend a lot of time to ensure that our child does well, but it's nowhere near the completely unnecessary PTSD inducing levels of stress that I went through.

We are in migration plan phase, the only concern we have is kids safety. Scary news about girls/women safety pulls us back sometimes. I know it's a universal problem not alone in India.

Liberalism is important but is not absolute. I appreciate you brought that point forward, Globalization was a half-true and half-fake concept which was propagated to destroy communism and import brains cheaply. Similarly cultural Identity is not absolute. Cultural Identity wont serve you food , Science, growth and openness in a culture would, A Nigerian citizen would definitely choose migration over cultural identity. I wont raise my kids at a place where meaningless liberalism is enforced to flourish new businesses , sameway I wont raise my kid at a place where cultural supremacy, jingoism is continuously peddled. So a balance between progression and tradition is very much necessary for our kids.

Desi Return
Your child’s roots aren’t in their passport—they’re in the stories you tell at home.
And sometimes, that means returning to the land they’ve never lived in. We often think children born abroad 𝐰𝐨𝐧’𝐭 “𝐚𝐝𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭” 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚.
But is it really about adjustment, or about how connected they feel to who they are and where they come from? 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐛 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
And maybe, moving back is a way of giving them more than just a language or a holiday memory.
