Depends on what your priorities are.  I suspect physical adjustment isn't
too difficult (I was in India for a couple of months last winter, and after
three days in Calcutta thought nothing of load shedding, mounds of garbage,
hanging on precariously to the door handle of a bus in rush-hour
crowds, ...).  I did find the mellower - and, generally, more hospitable -
life style refreshing (though it might just be New York getting to me!).
Professionally, it might be a little harder -- especially if you're
accustomed to the ready availability of a lot of hardware and software,
ready access to technical literature and conferences, &c.  On the other
hand, many of the people I met at TIFR and IISc Bangalore were very bright,
professionally committed, and seemed to be quite contented where they were.
