Earlier this week, when news emerged that Virat Kohli and his family would shift to the United Kingdom, apart from the usual trolling endemic to social media in India, there was also a strange surge of support for the decision on social media.
Most of it centered on how India was probably getting unsuitable to live in and those who could afford it should think about making the move. It was a marked departure from the backlash that actor Aamir Khan received a decade ago when he spoke on the growing sense of fear in the country which had even made his wife ask if they should think of moving out of India.
