Life as It Is

Most expats living in India enjoy the colorful unconventionality life in India has brought to their daily routines. Some defining aspects of Indian society are its cultural, religious, and linguistic pluralism and its traditional caste system. The latter is a strict system of social stratification which may still impose virtually impermeable social hierarchies on people living in India.
People living in India’s rural areas make up 70% of the population. However, India has witnessed a steady increase in its urban population over recent years, which goes hand in hand with the growing numbers of well-educated, middle class residents living in India’s metropolises. This rise in the numbers of skilled workers choosing a life in India has contributed to making the country an emerging force on the global market, which continues to attract foreign interest. Multinational companies interested in tapping the Indian market increasingly send their employees out on assignments, thus giving expat life in India a boost.
