The Overseas Living: NRIs and India Abroad
To view the latest posts and articles, a click on ‘Home’ will do the trick!
‘The Indians Abroad’ web-site is dedicated to the Indian diaspora – people from the continent of India living abroad. The main focus of this blog is to discuss real-life information on the experiences of overseas life, and to share an honest and open opinion about living in a different culture and a different society.

The site regularly receives readers from more than 125 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 multicultural 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 basic 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 of life abroad. It has a lot of information and opinion about all kinds of NRIs’ experiences, benefits of living abroad and hardships of foreign life. I regularly explore and discuss the routine overseas issues, along with the ways to address them. The topics cover many misconceptions and unrealistic expectations about living abroad as well.
For example, some of the popular blog posts include:
- NRIs and India diaspora – the key challenges abroad!
