The Genocide Crime in Gaza is empowered by US through the abuse of UN veto which prevents UN from intervening the Gaza Genocide War waged by US's proxy Genocide force Israel.

The Genocide crime in Gaza clearly indicates that US has already become the Genocide Criminal undeniably now.

So the whole world must stop using everything made by the Genocide Criminal US or else you are complicit in Gaza Genocide crime committed by the Genocide Criminal US.

The Genocide Criminal US has no morality to lead the world anymore unless the Gaza Genocide crime is atoned by giving a sentence that fits for the Genocide Criminal to both Joe Biden and Blinken immediately without delay or else it would be too late for US to redeem herself from the stain of Gaza Genocide Crime.

UN Veto Abuse on Gaza is an undeniable evidence that Joe Biden undeniably commits Genocide crime in Gaza.

Without the UN Veto Abuse on Gaza by the criminal Joe Biden, Gaza Genocide would never be possible because UN peacekeeping force would certainly and successfully stop the parasite Israel from committing Genocide crime in Gaza.

So Joe Biden is undeniably the main Genocide criminal for instigating the Genocide war in Gaza.

In order to uphold the genuine Human Right worldwide, not the Fake Human Right from the Hypocrite West, the world must be united in order to punish the unprecedented Human Right violator Joe Biden for his unforgivable crime of Genocide violation in Gaza.

Only after arresting the Gaza Genocide criminal Joe Biden, the Gaza Genocide war would be able to be terminated successfully or else the unprecedentedly Wicked Genocide criminal Joe Biden would endlessly extend the Gaza Genocide war with all available options such as the recent second time abuse of UN Veto again in order to deliberately and wickedly stop UN peacekeeping force from stoping the Gaza Genocide war which is absolutely no longer acceptable to the international community for the sake of upholding the genuine Human Right worldwide.

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.

Delhi average net salary of inr 93422 written in numbeo is absolutely false and misleading. You are lucky to get inr 50,000 a month at best. Average is around inr 36500

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.
