May 2023 Archive – Are Indians Living in the US Happy?
If you’ve ever wondered how Indians feel about life in America, you’re not alone. In May 2023 we published a deep‑dive piece that captures the mixed emotions of the Indian diaspora. The article pulls together real experiences, from the excitement of better jobs to the sting of homesickness.
What the story reveals
First off, many Indian immigrants love the higher standard of living. They point to better salaries, world‑class education for their kids, and a work culture that rewards hard work. One engineer in Silicon Valley said the pay jump helped his family buy a home that would have been a dream back in Delhi.
But it’s not all smooth sailing. Cultural differences pop up in everyday moments – the food, the social norms, even simple conversations can feel awkward. A teacher in New York mentioned that "small talk" with strangers felt forced at first. Add to that occasional racial discrimination, and the picture gets more complex.
How Indians stay happy
Community plays a huge role. Indian cultural festivals, weekend gatherings at local temples, and family video calls create a safety net. One student shared that attending Diwali celebrations with a nearby Indian group made the campus feel less foreign.
Balancing roots and new life is the secret sauce. Many keep Indian traditions alive at home while embracing American opportunities. Cooking familiar dishes, watching Bollywood movies, and joining professional Indian networks help bridge the gap.
Overall, happiness for Indians in the US is deeply personal. Some thrive on the career boost, others cherish the cultural exchange, while a few still grapple with identity questions. The May 2023 article gives you a front‑row seat to these stories, offering a realistic snapshot of life across the ocean.
Looking ahead, the diaspora continues to adapt. Newer immigrants are more tech‑savvy, using apps to stay connected with family back home. Employers are recognizing the value of diversity, offering mentorship programs that ease the transition. As the community evolves, so does its definition of happiness.
Whether you’re an Indian planning to move, a friend curious about the experience, or someone who already lives in the US, this archive piece provides practical insight. It shows that happiness isn’t a one‑size‑fits‑all formula – it’s a blend of opportunity, community, and personal resilience.

In my recent exploration of the Indian community living in the US, I've found varying opinions on happiness. While many Indians appreciate the higher standard of living, better education, and career opportunities, some face challenges like cultural differences, homesickness, and racial discrimination. I noticed that many people manage to find a balance by staying connected with their roots through family, community, and cultural events. Ultimately, happiness for Indians in the US seems to be subjective, depending on individual perspectives and experiences. I believe, like any other community, Indians in the US have their share of ups and downs, but many seem to find happiness in their adopted homeland.
