Its amazing you forgot the left leaning paradise and God's own country Kerala in the list. Keralites are also at the forefront of emigrating. From what I hear they are way more progressive with almost 100% literacy for past 30 years or so and have very good infrastrucutre and not to mention very equal society. Why will people from such a utopia will be at the forefront of emigration?
The reason is same everywhere. Money and perceived quality of life. Both remain major motivator everywhere and those who are better off are at the tip of the emigration everywhere.
Its not an Indian thing. Its a human thing. People from Hong Kong had been at the forefront of immigration to Vancouver for quite sometime in the past. To the point some people used to joke Vancouver as Hongcover. Hong Kong has been pretty decently developed and expensive part of Asia. So why? Same motivations... perceived quality of live.
If Mallu and HongKongers have been running to these parts of the world, why will Gujju be behind?
I am from kerala it used to be an amazing state to live provided you have a job ,cost of living in trivandrum to live a very comfortable life may be max 700 CAD per month including food rent for a family of 3 even today ,if you are cooking at home will be still lesser .
The issue is lawlessness left leaning paradise I liked that word ,Kerala has turned really intolerant in the last decade look at the no of people moved to is is look at kids chanting death for followers of other religion.
The funny part is politicians support that.Then comes thugs of CPM (Communist party) you can't open a business in kerala unless you pay them bribe ,Quality of higher education in kerala is just garbage may be better than other states but no where near where it should be especially when we got a head start .
People they are really nosy they want to teach morality 101 to everyone kissing on public is bad but spittingis okay again better than many states but not where it should be .
Kids (above age 15 ) are leaving especially to EU because they can't deal with this misery.
Bullying in college, they killed a guy last week because he was not a part of CPM and he was popular.
That state has become a hell hole in last decade, even govt employees are not getting salary because of severe economic mismanagement.
Jobs yes other than IT there is nothing nut many people they just move to middle east ,I know it is rude to say this but UAE,qatar ,Saudi is just an extension of kerala for many people but now the issue is the std of living again increased so does the mindset of settling in the west and the things I mentioned above is a catalyst.
There is a joke in kerala where everyou go there will be a mallu ,infact it is right we are in 193 countries with the exception of North korea and pakistan (I am wrong because there is a samall population in pakistan which speaks malayalam),In 1980s the state was really in a bad shape no money nothing so they sated moving to middle east and most mallus are not at all enterprenurial now it is changing we have some outliers in middle east for eg LuLU group.
I am not saying kerala is a horrible place it is way better when compared to a lot of places in some aspects I will even say better than canada especially when it comes to health care (hospitals may not be super clean but you wont die without treatment for sure) and weather and homelessness(I have never seen a mallu begging on street in my life of 31 yrs-I mean almost 0 homelessness which I dont think canada will ever achieve) but it is dropping like a rock no one want to be a part of a losing team ,sometimes it sad when you see the place where you are born and raised is turning into a shit hole.
