I always like watching your videos! Just a small wish (if I may), I would love it if you start interviewing more people who are not white and Western. So that India is not just in a conversation with Europe and the US but other parts of the world as well. Would be so nice to hear Chinese perspectives on life in India, Brazilian perspectives, Nigerian, Uzbek - you name it!

India is an excellent place if you are white and look western which is why i think Max is doing these interviews. If he interviews anyone else it might not be an amazing experience tbh.

[@smouldering]

​@@pratapkrishnanusawhat you say is what people generally think about India. Some other youtubers have interviewed non whites (including from various parts of Africa) living in India and their experiences aren't necessarily bad. I agree that Max should do a few more interviews with non Caucasians to get a broader perspective.

[@pratapkrishnanusa]

@@smouldering agreed. I'll correct myself to say that Indians have a respectful view of most countries and are extremely welcoming to 'guests' in general. But if you look white you already 'look' like a guest so the treatment is VIP level. But if the goal is to spread a positive view of india might be harder to find guests from Africa for example who would have an amazing experience in india. There might be some exceptions who are having a good life there for sure.

[@smouldering]

@@pratapkrishnanusa couple of things. 1. I don't disagree with you that being white and generally fair skinned is a privilege. However, it's not restricted to India. I see this outside India as well. Every country has its variant of this. However, on the flip side, as a Caucasian, they also have to put up with being honey pots for scammers. 2. About Africans, I'm not naive to think that they are welcomed in India and indeed in many parts of Asia the same way as whites. But not everyone is lynched or openly degraded. Honestly I'm not sure what is the percentage so I won't claim to know - but it certainly isn't as bad as what the press makes it out to be. PS. Don't mistake me for an apologist trying to make excuses for his (former) country. I just think (and have seen) that things are not usually black and white. There are many different experiences that people have.

I lived in US without knowing my neighbour for months, on a walk I met a neighbour walking his dog and was shocked to know that he has lived there for 3 decades and do not have much contact with their neighbour.

Safety is definitely an issue in most of the big cities in developed countries. It is difficult to find a taxi after 10 pm in NY as the drivers feel that the potential passenger could rob or kill. Even the taxi drivers sit fully separated in a cell and the payment can be made only through gap provided for this purpose. Cities like Washington, Hollywood wear a deserted look after 9 pm even in summer months. In India you can see movement of people both men and women in cities and towns well beyond pm. Still the western media would way India is not safe for women. The crime rates in western countries, despite having a strong policing system, are very high in comparison to India.

Person like the American woman grew up in 80s is very different to live in America today! I can tell this by my own experience living in America for 40 years. She has seen America when it was rising power world wide. Power which concurred new heights in science and technology. Sending Humans on Moon! Power that fight with political opposition like USSR and win the battle when USSR is broken in several countries. Today there are powers like China rising as military power. More challenges to American supremacy over the world map. Increasing domestic problems like homelessness and poverty. Increasing economic refugees. Increasing mental distressed youth. Very different America today as compared to happy days 40 years ago! It is opposite in India. More people coming out of extreme poverty. More infrastructure developments, more educated work force and growing economy. Over lat 40 years Indians are seeing better life as compared to 40 years ago!!

Villages aren't "true" and cities aren't "fake". They're just two parts with different societies in the same nation and they're both real. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Rural life can be hell for some people. Utter orthodoxy, superstition, poor knowledge, poor opportunities and infrastructure. It's great if you look at it from the perspective of a tourist and all you see is "colours and culture". But if you actually come from a rural background, you know what the problems are. However, rural life can be great in terms of simplicity and being grounded and connected to nature. North America and Europe have plenty of villages and towns, so it's not like they don't know what village life can be like.

Unfortunately, the inability to converse in English has adverse consequences, which is shameful.

I attribute this embarrassing situation to my own social class, the Indian upper middle and upper classes.

The biggest perks of living in India is cheap Maids/Drivers, Cheap and easily accessible Healthcare, Ease of Living Due to different kind of Apps (Only in Tier 1 Cities), Weather and seasons ranging from Snow, Rains and Dessert..The rawness in having not-planned cities...and last but not the least FOOD.. How can we forget delicious indian food literally lip-smacking..

We are native of Thamizh ( Normally written as Tamil but Thamizh is the right one). My brother's family is living there almost for 20 years in Bengaluru and his kids could not speak both in Kannada and Thamizh but they are fluent in English. My sister in law was raised in New Delhi, so, she can speak Hindi Fluently. This is an issue in South India.

[@Removedandruffs]

I always say we are more stereotype than anyone in this world. In New Delhi they speak Hindi because they are from different state, so that's their common language, Since every state in north has it's own languages ( Not just one ), but for south people Hindi is north language which is not true, it's just their common language but in south they don't have any common language and Hindi is something that conflicts... so has no other option but English.

I randomly came across this video. If you love Garba, I must recommend you that you need to have the best Garba experience of your lifetime - United Way of Baroda (organised in Vadodara Gujarat) during Navratri.

After hearing to her, i suppose her husband is a kannadiga. She is talking more of Navaratri n kerala festival rather than her husbands

[@whatup307]

I’d like to test the theory of how welcoming/friendly people are there myself. After growing up in the US for more than 50 years, my independence is important to me. People *not* being in my business is important to me. Of course people are welcoming to her because she’s white. I don’t curious if they would be as welcoming to brown me. I have a problem in America with people who have grown up in India. When they hear me speaking like every other American around them they seem to think that I think that I’m better than them. Which is super weird and ridiculous. so I feel like I would deal with that same thing there. And yet there’s something that draws me to come stay there. Definitely says something about the Indian mindset when even though she is on the spectrum , An Indian man still chose to marry her because she’s white. Like, he probably wouldn’t have done that if the girl was Indian and had autism or ADHD.

Mam i would like to tell you, drinking, partying among girls is very common in Delhi,Mumbai,North east India and Punjabi...south Indians generally conservative..holi, diwali is also huge festival in north India

[@Thundercloud25]

I would think being married to someone from India is easier to adept to the fascinating beautiful culture

[@subhendu7221]

America and India are very similar culture, deeply religious, capitalist, family centric and conservative. That’s why Indians thrive in America.

[@Marty_YouTuber]

India is dirtier and more populated than America.

[@KumarKumar-fc2gc]

Well, not drinking in front of kids is just the value, and we all know alcohol is not good for health. As responsible parents, we want to keep our kids healthy as long as possible. That's why kids when they grow up, respect their parents for their sacrifices.

[@anishpathak6679]

She's making a comment that women are looked at suspicious for drinking sitting in theboub capital of India. 😂 Looks like she hasnt stepped outside her house or gated community. To me her family looks conservative, She's judging everyone with same lens.

[@SaraBurt612]

Yes, you're right! I should have chosen my words much more carefully. It's hard to avoid painting everybody with the same brush. I should've simply added that there is a lot of diversity that I haven't seen. I've so far had more exposure to conservative families . . . Good remark to point that out.

Bangalore and its Hindu belt mentality is sick. Another mini-UP. Which makes it a good thing that more enlightened foreigners are moving in.
