Why India SUCKS (The Truth!) 🇮🇳

After several weeks of travelling throughout "Incredible India", I was incredibly exhausted by the stress of daily life.
Whilst this country has given me some of the most incredible moments, and is undoubtedly home to some of the most incredible people on the planet, there is no denying that the less positive aspects have been equally intense.
In this video I simply picked up my camera to show you the reality of a simple walk to get coffee - something that we might otherwise take for granted anywhere else in the world.
I did not produce this for shock value, or indeed pick a rougher neighbourhood for effect (Chennai is one of the better places I have visited), but these are the things that led me to end my trip early and seek more dignified surroundings.
To the many educated Indians amongst you, I'm sure that you're as fed up as I am with these things. I am NOT discrediting the people (you deserve a lot better). But I expect that this will also attract comments from people who are emotionally invested in their country, and will deny (and in some cases, attack) any and all criticism.
Nothing that I say is untrue, and we should all accept that we are each entitled to our opinion, even though we may see things differently. This is very much my personal experience.
My hope is that I am able to inform fellow travellers who may be curious about visiting India, and to add to the chorus of those demanding change for a truly Incredible India.

Go into any government run neighborhood outside these areas and it's awful, poorly maintained, filled with trash.

I have visited India back when I was 12 years old to see my Grandparents for 2 weeks. The experience was abysmal. Mind you that im now 24. I never went back to that country ever since. India has a wonderful culture with a rich history. India actually had 1/3 of the entire World GDP centuries ago. Now look at its condition. Extremely unsanitary, extreme corruption, full of scammers, zero Womens rights and horrible human rights records, incredible amounts of racism and casteism, super polluted, terrible entertainment industry, horrendous infrastructure, flawed education system, little job opportunities, and the list goes on. I feel horrible at times that India, once an evergreen nation, became reduced to this. Hope people understand.

To be honest, I don't like people who say bad things about India. India's various problems are not due to its culture or national character. If India becomes a developed country and each Indian becomes wealthy, India will be a clean, quiet and calm country. Of course, even as it is now, India is vibrant and attractive.

[@InvestedAdventure]

India will never be clean, quiet and calm. It’s just not in the culture. But we accept it for what it is - it’s just that it could be so much better (if never objectively clean and calm!)
