After Punjab, now Haryana youth fleeing to US–by any ‘donkey’ means possible -Jyoti Yadav

-ThePrint.in

There is no guarantee of a college seat or a job. And so village after village, Haryana is watching its young men leave–and the rise of an industry of touts, agents, helpers and hustlers.

Jind/Kurukshetra: There’s a giant US-style open, neon-green, modular kitchen in the Sharmas’ two-floor home in Haryana’s Dhatrath village. It has a parking garage and a 50-inch TV playing Instagram reels of American life all day. From the banal to the breathtaking, it throws up clips of cute toddlers bundled up in their woollens walking in the countryside snow, idyllic animal farms, and trucks rumbling on highways. 

The house is a loud declaration to villagers and outsiders that three of their sons have migrated to the United States. 

Rural Haryana is now the new Punjab in its race to send its youth to the US, UK, and Australia. Rows of IELTS coaching, visa centres, and agent offices line up small-town marketplaces. A new vocabulary has gripped Haryana villages, with words like PR for permanent residency, work permits, and dependents replacing popular acronyms for prestigious state universities like Maharshi Dayanand University and Kurukshetra University.
