Hi, Thank you for sharing your visit to India. I live in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean and I am proud to say that I am of East Indian descent. On the islands, we have a mix of different races, ethnicities, and cultures. East Indians were brought to the Caribbean starting in the years 1838- 1917 to work on the sugar cane plantations. The reasons why our forefathers willingly and joyfully escaped their motherland were because of similar hardships highlighted in your video. Upon reflection, I could have been a person living in India under such inhumane conditions. Thankfully, it is very different for me, but, although India is beautiful, I hope change happens for India sooner rather than later. Thank you for highlighting the good, the bad, and the ugly about India.

[@recipe30]

Thanks, Fameeda. India is truly an incredible country, and I look forward to the government taking steps to alleviate poverty in the near future. Here's hoping!

[@_shreya_9795]

Poverty is everywhere in every country . A bit more in India since it's population is also high . Poverty in India gets highlighted more due to different clothing of poor and rich or middle class people. Poor people wear very simple and even in traditional the prints and designs are faded . Whereas those who are not poor wear nice clothes . This difference is more visible. But in foreign countries , each countries have similar dressing whether rich or poor

[@manofernando9918]

Hi Joel, small suggestion. Pls do a separate video of the interviews you did with the chefs. That will give lots of publicity to them as well as to your channel. Being a reputed chef, I think you will get what I mean.

I sincerely hope and extend my heartfelt wishes that this video spreads its wings and reaches a diverse audience of international travelers. 😊🙏

This Taj Palace Hotel is truly luxurious in its Islamic European style with these high columns, these endless staircases, these vast hallways, these broad arches, and absolutely this green and white room.. It's beautiful and gives a feeling of comfort and peace, they all amazed me. ▪️l loved this wall full of photos of distinguished visitors and celebrities, this is President Obama and also King Charles III and Queen Camilla.. And look.. It's you there too.. It's a great photo of you 👍. ▪️I loved this gentle song that the lady sang with her soft voice and Charming lyrics touching hearts. ▪️Hats off to Chef Simon for these amazing Syrian dishes and serving these many small plates just like we do here.. l Love hummus and tabbouleh so much. ▪️Chef Joel, You conveyed to me your true feeling that you really want to repeat this amazing experience ..I hope you get it. ▪️▪️As for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, we all condemn terrorism in all its forms and patterns.
