My advice would be to complete undergraduation in India and go for Post Graduation overseas. Unlike the 60s, 70s or 80s, the next 25 years in India will be very different than the last 25 years. Not because we are doing something right, because we have not done many things in the last few years. So, our growth potential which is huge reflects the lack of action on growth in the last 40- 50 years. so, our generation has begun to put poverty in the museum it belongs to but  hopefully you and the next generation will put the poverty in the museum it belongs in. So, there will be a massive change, we will be more formalised, organised, industrialized, financialised and we will be much more governed. So, I think the opportunities that India will offer to people in the next 25 years will be a multiple of what was offered to us.

I think that understanding India in ways that you only will if you do your undergrad here. It will be very important. I think that undergrad in India with grad school overseas might be a better combination right now. Not only because the world being hostile to India but also because the future of India is different and you need to understand Indian economy, Indian society, Indian politics,  in ways that when you were in school you would never have understood. In college is not school on steroids, college is something completely different. You  go away from home, are exposed to people, subjects. My advice would be that forget the world being hostile, because India is going to change a lot marinating in the Indian ecosystem for the next 3 or 4 years will be an unfair advantage for you in taking advantage of India's destiny.
