The Overseas Living: NRIs and India Abroad

‘The Indians Abroad’ web-site is dedicated to the people of India living abroad. The main focus of this blog is to discuss real-life information on the experiences of overseas life, and share an honest and open opinion about living in a different culture and a different society.

The site regularly receives readers from more than 115 countries that include Indians, non-resident Indians – NRIs, and others interested in overseas living or immigrant issues etc.. The blog covers a variety of subjects including personal development in a foreign country, social issues of a multi-culture society and many more similar topics related to the life abroad.

In a foreign country, in a new place, we can make our journey much smoother and much more enjoyable with some very simple efforts. That is what this site is all about – offering simple ideas and commonsense suggestions for a better and more successful experience of our life abroad.

The main theme of the site is social awareness in a foreign land, experiences of living in a multi-culture society, personal development in the new country and discussion on many more such issues that affect the overseas lives. Some of the main categories on this website are:

Social Awareness:

The site covers a wide range of social issues including day-to-day experiences, common myths and other social aspects.  It has a lot of information and opinion about all kinds of NRIs’ experiences, benefits of living abroad, and hardships of foreign life.
