TBH i dont think this is the case for many.
Like i grew up NRI for a significant part of my childhood and most of the NRI people i know, who worked in Europe/middle east had no intention of ever migrating to the US/Europe/Canada even when they got their kids as citizens there.
They all seem to prefer the whole ' i retire in India, travel to the west if/when i wanna see the kids or kids come to us regularly' etc lifetstyle. mostly because they aint facking stupid and know that retired life in India if u got cash is 100x better than retired life in the west if u got cash.

As long as you don’t live in those gas chambers you call cities in India. Surest way to shorten your lifespan by a decade or 15 years.

greying in 30s and heart attacks in 40s are common these days.
with medical care in non-metros/major B-towns being iffy, getting out of the "gas chambers" as you call it will be difficult choice for many urbanites with accumulated illnesses over their working years.

gas chambers of indian cities dont bother most of the retired oldie nri moneybags.
Coz rule number 1 of retired indian oldies is they aint active outdoors people or shoppers, they are basically stay at home or go to other people's homes kind of people and they mostly go Ac to Ac with filtration and get ghanta gas chamber effect. I was in Kolkata for a year in 2023 and it wasnt that bad to be honest if i didnt go out for extended periods, aka commute. Which oldies never do and very rarely do at rush hour for our moneybags.
Remember, they mostly live in outskirts in those fancy big town complexes where transit patterns are far easier if u have car.
I know this, because this is basically what my parent's circle is.

No way for me to live like that. Not my lifestyle. It looks like I have to find another place to retire if India cannot clean up her air around the cities.

You can live in a town or village in the countryside.
Also not every city is like Delhi and the other NCR cities in terms of the gas chamber effect

You have very less option to settle after retirement will probably recommend haridwar/roorkee

well if you want clean air, clean water, not much congestion, great scenery and never too hot or too cold by India standards, the answer is obvious : Port Blair. Especially so if you are hindi speaker/tamil or bengali speaker as they are the three biggest ethnolinguistic communities in Andamans.
however, it comes with a big drawback - Andaman still imports pretty much everything from the mainland, so things are more expensive than one is used to and you will still need to get to mainland if you have severe/serious long term health issues.

Reality is, North India is always gonna be fucked for air quality. because that is the geography of north India - it is basically a gigantic bowl hemmed in to the north by the mountains, to the south by the Deccan plateau and mountains to the east and west as well. With most of the year the wind blowing from sea to land, where the heck is the air from north indian plains supposed to go ? it cant override pressure clines to blow out to the sea, it cant override density cline and climb over the himalayas, so it basically just swirls in the bowl-cavity that is the indo-gangetic plains.
 
The vocabulary being used on twitter and some dingy websites has now entered mainstream television.

Dome shaped minarets are basically a replica of Byzantine Architecture which the Ottomans copied.
The languages like Arabic, Persian were developed by the Indigenous Arabic tribals and Zoroastrians. And the grammatical structure of Urdu is again from Khadi boli. And the vocabulary has so many words modified from Sanskrit, Persian etc.
Don't know what this so called journalist is claiming.

The greatest loss for the country in recent memory was Parrikar's death.
Batman doesn't trust anyone else, Ninda is just a placeholder and Batman can't micro-manage everything including going after baboons and users like Parrikar used to...

Trust me. Rajnath is an idiot. I am from UP (although I left in childhood). He ran UP into the ground and he is doing the same with DM. Most likely the mentality is that defense ministry is an easy paycheck (kickbacks etc). He embodies everything bad about what I call "Old India" - Lazy, will happily watch others work without giving any direction, content with status quo, etc
