I have to give respect to Max Chernov, lot of people whine and complain about "privilege" in Society, I see a Russian dude come down to Singapore to live here and is doing nothing but uplifting the region's image in the world's eyes through content by interviewing real people, and not let the media brainwash people. Props to you Max, I hope doing the same thing for Russia some day.

[@jenzwozniak5541]

Same here, I am hoping there will be content about foreigners living in Russia and show casing the beauty of Russian Culture and nation as a whole. But until now we can only wait for it. A lot of foreigners really waiting and hoping to see video of living and working in Russia as a whole.

[@MaxChernov]

@blackman7186 those kind of people are just clout chasers, don't mind them. There are many foreigners who really love India and its cultures. We must remain humble but we must not be embarrassed of ourselves.

Also, read this to know about our past and achievements. It includes modern India as well. Ancient India's Achievments: 1. Ancient universities such as nalanda, takshashila, vikramshila, and much more over thousands of years ago. 2.Indians had concepts of calculus before west like Leibniz formula for pi (Leibniz just happened tochave re-invent it centuries later), power series for sine and cosine, inverse tangent series, and much more. 3. Aryabhatta invented sine function. 4. Bhaskara II gave modern definitions of sine and cosine. 5. Sushruta was one of the pioneers in surgery over 2000 years ago. Surgery was invented in Egypt first, but we pioneered it really well. 6. Maharishi Kanad, a philosopher, proposed the idea of atoms in 600 BCE. Just like how Greeks also did the same independently. 7. Brahmagupta invented the formula to determine the area of cyclic quadrilaterals. 8. Decimal System (debatable). 9. Binary number system by pingala debatable). 10. Ayurveda. 11. Bhaskara I stated that at the highest point, the rate of change is zero. 12. Varahamihira predicted water on Mars thousands of years ago. 13. Sridharacharya invented the modern-day quadratic formula. 14. Different solutions to quadratics. Modern India's Achievements: 1. Har Gobind Khorana synthesized the first artificial gene and demonstrated the role of nucleotides in protein synthesis. He also played a massive role in cracking the genetic code. 2. Artificial synthesis of coenzyme A by Har Gobind Khorana 3. Chandryaan 3 landing on the south pole of moon. 4. Mars Mission. 5. Sun Mission (Aditya - L1). 6. Fiber optics by Narinder Singh Kapany. 7. Jagdish Chandra Bose was one of the pioneers in wireless communication before Marconi and transmitted signals before him. 8. Discovery of millimeter waves by Jagdish Chandra Bose. 9. Discovery of cholera toxin by Dr. Sambhu Nath De. 10. USB by Ajay Bhatt. 11.Pentium Chips by Vinod Dham. 12. S.N. Bose made contributions to quantum mechanics like Bose-Einstein condensate and laid the foundations for Higgs Boson. 13.Quantum Statistics by S.N. Bose. Also, Boson particles are named after him. 14. Discovery of triple helical structure of collagen. 15. Ramachandran plot, which is a tool used to visualize which angles can amino acids take in proteins. 16. Venki Ramakrishnan discovered the high resolution atomic structure of ribosomes. 17. First DNA based Covid Vaccine. 18. Cervical Cerclage was first described by Sirodkhar. 19. Crescograph. 20. George Sudarshan was one of the pioneers in quantum optics. (Watch and learn more about him). 21. Quantum Zeno effect 22. Raman effect in spectroscopy. There are many more indian greats you should learn about. Examples: Srinivasa Ramanujan, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, C.V. Raman and Raj Reddy (one of the pioneers in AI along with McCarthy). Many of these were wrongfully attributed to foreigners or they teach you about this stuff, but never tell Indian origins. Bloodsucking leeches and their time is up .😂😂😂😂😂, b*stard Westerners. Anglo-Saxons ruined our image badly and have been torturing and harassing South Asian people for 4 centuries.

[@Vitamins152]

@@yogesh41048 People used to look up to India in the ancient times. Foreigners used to study in Nalanda university. I remember ancient Chinese called India “civilized” and “center of knowledge”. Scientists and mathematicians of the islamic golden age admired our work. Greeks and Romans also used to look up to us. Good old times. Anglo-Saxons and other Westerners are the reason that South Asians face discrimination worldwide. They ruined our image by portraying us as animal f*ckers, street sh*tters, unhygienic (India needs to work on hygiene, I admit, but man often it is over exaggerated), savages, r*pists, cannibals, etc. West butchered our reputation. We think South Asians face discrimination because of skin color, but that is not the case. When you are brown, people think you are from South Asia, and South Asia has a bad image. Many Italians and Middle Easterners have light brown to medium olive bronze tone. But, they don't face discrimination. It's all about image. Even light skin Indians face discrimination. Just tell them you are Indian and attitude changes.

Coming from Europe all the way to India and only having Gothic architecture and Western classical music to like over 2 decades' time is akin to a Desi who lives in the West and finds only Swaminarayan temple and Bollywood dance worth experiencing in the West.

I was thinking the same😂

[@dOVERanalyst]

She said Bihar is her favourite place. The local museum. In Mumbai there is nothing "cultural" "cultural" except these old buildings in terms of architecture preserved. These are heritage buildings. Beautifully lit. Kailasa temple is in Aurangabad. Konark temple, Jagannatha temple is in Odisha. Several marvels are elsewhere. Do you remember of anything of surreal architecture & art in Mumbai? No. It's the safest place in India. That's it's only catchphrase tbh.
