I have moved 10% of my savings to India. Even a bank Fixed Deposit can net you around 7-8% return each year.

For the long term stocks are a good bet. One of the reason I believe is that the western hegemony is going through turbulent phase and this is helping India (but not other developing countries) primarily because its trading with both US and Russia.

tldr: india is a very good bet and I expect them to over perform in the next few decades

Edit: changed each month to each year.

This year, look at the long term trends on the rupee looks ugly af, rather buy US treasuries and lock in 4% than gamble on an emerging market especially if you’re earning in dollars

I should have put a disclaimer on that. You are right the INR has depreciated (although less than other currencies).

I have long term vision in India for 20+ years and I think they will come out on top in spite of their shite PM.

There is a saying "China progresses because of it's politicians, India progresses despite of it's politicians"

Also I have a strong feeling USD is going to crash in 4-5 years. Most countries are slowly getting rid of USD https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/foreign-trade/india-smaller-nations-talk-trade-via-rupee-accounts/articleshow/95189419.cms

As long as the interest rate differential remain in place, the currency will depreciate. It might not depreciate for a year and then suddenly cover up.

Indian Savings provide yearly not monthly I believe and these have been safe and favourite choice of Indians.
