We have had to deal with uncomfortable inquiries in recent weeks on the appropriate number of hours if "nation-building" was our primary goal.
 
When Subrahmanyan, the chairman of Larsen & Toubro, said that a 90-hour workweek is optimal, he was met with a great degree of national ire. The Infosys founder, Narayana Murthy, has previously advocated for a 70-hour workweek. The major players, ola and Zepto, have also developed their own "average hours-per-week concept." It is thought that all of the work is being done for the "greater good" of creating a country that will have plenty of chances for future generations.
 
India is becoming more than simply a talent exporter because of its rising economy and strong technological environment; it's a location to create the next DeepSeek, ChatGPT, or even the Qwen. The decision between nation-building and brain drain is obvious. Based on the overwhelming numbers, it appears that we have chosen to take our skills abroad rather than figure out how to investigate domestic alternatives.
 
Will the indian preoccupation with pursuing the American dream be altered by Trump's remarks that birthright citizenship is merely a concept for slaves and their offspring and that he had not thought that people would simply "pile on" on the US?
 
It's important to note that, according to an article in the Hindustan Times, "Indian nationals currently receive over 70% of H-1B visas, making them the program's biggest beneficiaries." Similar to the previous fiscal year, when 441,502 visas were authorized and 320,791 (72.6%) of the grantees were indian nationals, 279,386 of the 386,318 approved H-1B applications in 2023—a staggering 72.3%—were granted to indian citizens.
 
Even the Indian-American community has been seeing rapid growth, increasing from 1.6 million to more than 5 million. Therefore, the president claims that it is in the best interests of his country and the American people if he decides to take harsh measures against persons who have used their birthright citizenship in the US. indians would undoubtedly suffer if the US supreme court passed the legislation.
 
The American pie, is no longer such a big deal
It should be mentioned that the majority of indian H1B applicants have been corporate entities that deploy staff to their US-based parent firm. According to data from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, around 24,766 H1B visas were granted to Indian-origin organizations during the April–September 2024 period, out of a total of 1.3 lakh visas granted to various employers. With 8,140 recipients, Infosys led the pack, followed by tcs (5,274) and HCL America (2,953). Cognizant, which was established in chennai but now has its headquarters in New Jersey, came in third place with 6,321 visas.

People aren't flying straight to the United States, it's true. Not as much as they did a few years ago, anyhow. The explanation is straightforward: india is also making progress! The economy is booming, the cost of living is gradually rising, and the nation is technologically advanced. In the nation, other aspects of growth are also coming together.
 
Then why this expensive hollywood ticket?
