In 2024, over half a dozen Indian students and others have tragically lost their lives in the US.
In the recent times, dreams of Indian youth pursuing education in foreign shores are turning into nightmares, with many grappling with mental health issues, robbery and murder cases and Indians are tragically losing their lives shortly after arriving abroad.
Several cases of deaths of Indian youths abroad have created a state of panic back home in India. Now parents are either not willing to send their children abroad or whose wards are already settled there are in a state of anxiety and panic.
