- Description:
- Urban Indians living in cities face challenges with housing, job opportunities, and access to health care. Many struggle with overcrowded and inadequate housing, high unemployment rates, and limited health services. Despite these challenges, the migration to urban areas has led to higher education levels among urban Indians. However, there are concerns about the impact of city life on Indian culture and the increasing cultural breakdown due to intermarriage with non-Indians.
