Why the Middle-Class is Leaving India: 'Better Taxes, Infrastructure' | Sanjaya Baru Interview

Author and former media advisor to former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh, Sanjaya Baru explores why India’s elite and middle class are increasingly choosing to leave the country. He cites growing global opportunities, declining ease of living in India, intrusive governance, and the inability of the Indian system to absorb its talent. Baru also critiques the weaponisation of the diaspora by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, and the communal mobilisation by groups like the RSS and VHP, in his book 'Secession of the Successful: The Flight Out of New India'.
