Same here, that would be the only reason we would move back!
Just out of curiosity, I've heard a lot of people moved out of US to India.
Haven't really heard much when it comes to Canada exceptions KumarM etc..,
Is Canada that good....
I was in US for a good amount of time, it was pretty easy to make a decision in a jiffy to move to India (again 6 years back) but the same doesn't seem to be easy...

For me it would be (c) part b ie the socializing aspect with friends and relatives from weddings, birthdays, engagements, pooja and other functions. In India the let's go for a dinner or a movie or just meet up with a spontaneous potluck is very easily done and there's a lot of fun and social satisfaction associated with that.
It would've happened prolly 20 years back, post 2002 India is very different when it comes to lifestyle. You would see less and less informal gathering than here...

Well I was just in India a month back and I speak from that experience. No doubt lifestyle is more hectic than before but it doesn't seemed to have slowed people down. I had a blast.

there is difference between just visiting India and leaving everything, job, home, lifestyle and moving back for good. Later is the point of discussion here.
Most of the posters answered - parents and friends as main reason to go back, (Thanks!) actually that is a strong reason but that reason will take a back seat when it comes to question of good life of your own immediate family (kids sply). that is why though Everybody has parents & friends in India still not many of us are going back.
This is purely my viewpoint that only compelling reasons like not able to provide for oneself or family in Canada, not able to succeed in career, facing hardships crops up a thought of taking the second option - India. This thought then gets strengthened over a period of time till it is too much to handle.
The emotional factors like being with parents and friends are there always but not enough to take actions ! This is a materialistic world after all !
