Entrepreneur asks people who criticize India “a question,” post goes viral

Niraj Dugar, co-founder of Hyderabad-based Holistic Wealth, has sparked a debate on social media by suggesting that anyone who criticises India should leave the country. On X (formerly Twitter), Mr Dugar asked the people who constantly nag about India “a question”. “Why are you still here?” he wrote. The question sparked polarised reactions. While some supported his stance, others argued that questioning the government is an essential part of civic engagement and does not equate to a lack of patriotism.

“A question to the people who keep finding fault with India. Why are you still here?” Mr Dugar wrote on X.

Why are you still here? 🤔

The entrepreneur shared the post just a day ago. Since then, it has garnered more than 99,000 views. In the comments section, many users shared their thoughts. While some said their criticism was helpful feedback, others emphasized the importance of asking questions in a democracy.

“Ah, because it’s their country and if there’s a mistake. They can’t look away. Besides, getting rid of a passport isn’t as easy as changing jeans. Not everyone can afford that luxury,” wrote one user.

“It’s too convenient to move, I have an elderly, dependent parent with a medical history, will need medical care in maybe 20 years, have a business to run, moving with family is not cheap, have no family assets. If that wasn’t the case, I would have happily moved away a long time ago,” commented another.

“People should always question the government. Just because we raise genuine concerns doesn’t mean we don’t love India,” said a third user. “People pay taxes, they have the right to point out flaws in the system. How else can a system be improved if not through feedback?” asked another.

“Be glad there are those complaining because maybe we are actually the ones making positive changes,” commented a fourth user.

Mr Dugar, however, stuck to his position, claiming that those railing against India are doing little to improve their own situation. “Constant ranting is surely much easier than changing your jeans,” he wrote.
