A 73-year-old woman from Punjab was deported from the US after 33 years of living there, sharing her painful ordeal and struggle of displacement.
Her sudden deportation has left her emotionally shattered, as she spent over three decades building her life in America only to be forced to return to India in her old age.
According to reports, she had moved to the United States in pursuit of a better life, where she worked tirelessly to support her family. Over the years, America became her home, and she developed deep roots within the community. However, due to immigration-related issues and legal complications, she was eventually deported, leaving behind everything she had built.
In her recounting, the elderly woman shared the immense difficulties she now faces — from adjusting to life in Punjab after decades abroad to coping with the emotional trauma of losing her home in the US. Her ordeal highlights the vulnerability of elderly immigrants, who often suffer silently when deported after long years of residence in foreign countries.
Her story has sparked discussions about the need for more compassionate immigration policies, especially for senior citizens who have spent their entire lives contributing to a nation. It also reflects the pain of displacement that many NRIs face when forced to return under difficult circumstances.
