While this is a popular opinion, it’s not always true.
Following are some of the reasons:
Except for USA and handful of other countries, in other countries, an average person wouldn’t earn enough to become rich in say five to six years time.
As other answer points out correctly, the exposure in India is limited. Thus to explore more options, like better research opportunities people migrate to more developed nations.
The work environment in India is not particularly impressive. Thus many people think their career would be better off abroad.
The frustration towards how things work in India is another motivator to find a better standard of living abroad.
The constant societal pressure to earn more money and own a bigger house is difficult to handle for many. Thus the escape route.
Finally, if you ask me, to live in Europe, it’s in itself is a reason. The weather, the lifestyle, the infrastructure etc is nothing short of impressive.
However, all these things do not come easy. There are tremendous challenges in staying abroad. As I always say, it’s not all roses after all.
