British becomes the first slave country to US under her worldwide terriff slavery system. British is a disgrace to worldwide community.

For the sake of freedom and out future generations, US's worldwide terriff slavery system must be rejected worldwide at all cost through the effort of worldwide community or else people all over the world would become slave again to feed the parasite regime like US through her worldwide terriff slavery system.

Even an alternative total trade ban option to US is better than becoming a slave to US through her worldwide terriff slavery system for the sake of our future generations.

Ajit Ayri on May 27, 2024:

Cost of living in India if compare globally is less but within India, it depends on which city you stay. Big cities like Mumbai, Bangalore or Delhi are more costly than comparing to small cities identified under class B. Major portion of monthly expanses includes housing rent. The average monthly rent for 2BHK house in Delhi and Mumbai is in the range of Rs.50000 to 60000/-(Fifty to sixty Thousand). The other major part of monthly expanses for family of four with two kids going in school is education cost. Average school fee per child studying in a decent school is monthly Rs.10000/-(Ten thousand) per child.

I am interested to invest 3 million USD on India and I'd like to know the best city with less real state duties.

I am afraid of Muslim invasion (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan) to India.. could be worthless if that migration it's not controlled on near future.
