Yesterday I saw that post about immigrant indian men in US and thought as a lurker(also one who lives in India) here I should tell something to y'all I am insecured about.

I know I shouldn't, it's their personal choice but it still feels weird to see high SMV men of your country whom everyone look up to marry out idk why. I know a lot of them don't but once you notice it, it seems everywhere.

Like our Indian cricket captain, hardik Pandya, famous cricketers like yuvraj singh (who hit 6 sixes in an over), irfan pathan, our football team captain, Sandesh jhingan, our hockey team captain Manpreet Singh, our best ever foreign affairs minister, dr s Jaishankar, noble winning economist Abhijit banerjee, famous politician pawan kalyan,famous youtubers like vikkstar,Dhruv rathee, sham sharma, prakhar ke pravachan etc these are just a few examples of very successful and capable indian men who are married to foreign women. Like even famous Indian freedom fighters like Subhash Chandra Bose, rashbehari bose, Kunwar brajesh singh (husband of Stalin's daughter) etc were married to foreign women.

This is in no way means all high smv indian men marry out but if captains of top 3 sports of your country(cricket, football and field hockey here) was married out wouldn't it appear a little weird. The triggering part is my young brother looks upto them(that's how I came to know) and I know so many men in our country do for their leadership and achievements.

I am passionate about my country and idolize those who contribute to it. It's just this thing triggers me so much.
