Obviously, the writer is not qualified to give a definitive answer to this question, but here is one point of view: 1. India is permeated with tremendous spiritual vibrations due to the nature of the Great Ones that incarnated there - this would not be available in most other places in the world. 2. When a person lives in a country outside of India (applies to all living outside their own country), he or she gets bound karmically to that country by virtue of merely living there - for example, many people may have sacrificed their lives for this other country, and the foreigner is living off their labor/sacrifice; or the country may have been occupied illegally and by deceit, and the foreigner, if he lives off that land, and consumes the food grown in that soil, is literally taking on the bad karma of that land; or the country's leaders may lead or may have led the country into wrong wars (like Hitler, and others for example)- the person again gets karmically bound if he lives in that soil/country, etc. India is the only country in the world that has not initiated a war on its own, illegally occupied territory, etc. 3. The person could be used as a medium (almost always without his knowledge) for evil from this foreign country to enter India when he visits India. 4. Other causes could be: simple practical reasons such as differences in culture, weather, religion, lack of good/moral values in society (for example, Sweden has a highly permissive/liberal society - the environ is not suitable for spiritual progress either for the person or his progeny), etc. Yet some Great Indian Yogis have travelled/lived in foreign countries, as ordained by their Indian Gurus - why? Perhaps their motive was not to have a comfortable, rich (moneywise) life but to propagate spiritual values throughout the world as per the principle : Vasudeiva Kutumbakam.
