I'm an open minded Indian. Me and My brother are pretty much the same. We both feel shackled and suffocated in this ignorant society. We're planning to get out of this nation and settle abroad for good. Any advice?

I am an Indian too. Don't get out, just change where you live in India. Not all us Indians are the same. 

I am an open minded Indian too. Leaving your Mother Earth is not the solution my brother. We must change it because we are its blood, this is where we belong, this is our country. We are born here. These are our people. Do you think a foreigner would truly accept you? And your further generations? No. This is our India, our country, our people, and we belong here.

I think change is good, but leaving our childhood place forever is not solution. What if you face ignorant society at your new place again? Find different way.

Nowhere is perfect, but travel is good way to get a new perspective on things. I think if you're feeling excluded and out of sync with the way people around you think and act, then moving somewhere new is a very good idea.

Like others have mentioned, it doesn't need to be permanent etc...

Just remember that having a home and a heritage is also a great thing - take it from someone who's moved around since they were little.

Also don't expect life to be easy anywhere. Every culture and society has its own challenges.

I remember living in London and working with people who had come from all across the world to live there.

Their high hopes and expectations of life in London often didn't match the reality, and although they probably enjoyed their time in the UK overall, many had to make sacrifices and take on jobs they wouldn't have dreamed of doing at home.

Out of curiosity, what is it about life in India that makes you feel shackled? By describing yourself as "open-minded", I'm guessing you feel the people you live with are too conservative?
