when indians go abroad especially to the west they have to out up with not very nice places to llive.
arent these flats meant for indians?
As an Indian I appreciate his perspectives and how respectful he was. He didn't put down any country and only spoke of the positives. This shows he doesn't have any prejudice which is why he is so satisfied here.
Definition of shill.

@@Tigerforlife 🙄🙄🤣🤣. True. That's the reason they went into boats to find India. Indian Spices and the blockage of trade by Ottomans made them go around the African Peninsula and then to India.
This is an extraordinarily open minded Britisher. You are very welcome sir.
As a black westerner when I traveled there I found India to be the most filthiest and most racist country on earth.
They are desperate to be white and desperate to have validation from a white person, if they get even a whiff that they are not getting validated of their fake glories, they get extremely mad/upset under the garb of 'colonial history '.
The black nations in India from Calcata to Madras are particularly racist.
Lastly, India is a multinational, multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural subcontinent turned into a country by the Brits but they never give this credit to the Brits.
अंग्रेज बोल दे भाई 😂😂
Not about the person being interviewed but the Interviewer. He has preconceived notions and prejudices. His video shots show old Mumbai and nothing with modern India but his shots of UK show clean, pristine neighborhoods. UK has allot of run down neighborhoods in London and there are cities in the UK that are bankrupt. Don’t fall for this gaslighting UA-cam journalism. These guys are paid to do selective interviewing. Its the Interviewer who is the problem not the British expat.
Whites have privileges. But don't end up kissing their feet please.

As an Indian residing abroad, it's so nice to listen to people living in India. Thanks for bringing in these interesting prospectives. I very much miss my city of Mumbai but due to the constant construction i was compelled to leave, at least for a while.

@@abrahamlincoln6704 absolutely right, as they r saying that they r choosing to live in INDIA cos of easy affordable lifestyle, so appreciating on camera is not big deal for them. BUT WHAT REALLY GOES INSIDE THEIR HEAD AFTER SEEING THE DIFFERENCES IN infrastructure & people OF INDIA & UK IS NOT GONNA COME OUT ON CAMERA.
Just look at the kind of hatred Rishi Sunak receives from UK people. After all, HOW can such BRUTAL COLONISERS ESCAPE from RACIST MINDSET. Their OBSESSION with WHITE SKIN shows their ORTHODOX MENTALITY that has nothing to do with SCIENCE, as the change in skin tone from DARK TO WHITE is totally based on amount of sunlight a region experiences.
"WE" don't care at all about what the DECENDENTS OF COLONISERS don't like about INDIA at present. OUR BHARAT HAD 35% OF WORLD'S WEALTH BEFORE COLONISATION WHICH WAS REDUCED TO 3% AFTER BRITISH DIVIDED & LEFT INDIA. Otherwise, BHARAT would have become the superpower of world.
But WE BHARATIYAS have just begun, AGAIN; cos BHARAT will keep rising until it reaches there.
Hey Mumbaikar
Kasa ahe!
Indians residing outside India value India more than some residing within.
Constant construction? Is that a reason to leave India?
In all videos you have spoken to, the common theme is Family. And therein lies the essence of Indian culture. Once you understand that and the role family plays in people’s lives, India is an open book.

Indians need to be individualistic, all these family cultures have a side people don't see from outside where you compromise, don't respect individuality and force to comform and live a very self conscious life.
Where do you think Vin Diesel gets it from?😂
Still a open book of million pages😂
I don’t think i can experience the whole India in my life time 😢
Having a culture’s base be family is not a good thing my guy. It opens people up to so much abuse within that construct that is hidden away for the ‘sake of the family’, having family be most important thing is just a form of control. Not to mention in this modern day and age blood should not be thicker than water, we’re all human beings on this earth we should have value based on our behaviour and actions, not how genetically close we are to someone.
I fell in love with India in 2019, Mumbai in particular. I've been lucky to travel around much of India and spend time living in Mumbai too. Currently planning a business move to Mumbai from England with my Metal Art business, wish me luck! Jai Hind🙏

Wishing you the best my friend, may Lakshmi bless you... ❤ Jai Hind
Misconceptions abroad should not bother us Indians too much. As long as we steadily enrich our human resources, we can just shrug and prevail while letting the outsiders wallow in their idle misconceptions and ignorance.
it 100% should bother you, what are you talking about? As an indian that was born and raised in the USA the misconceptions have hurt us more than you can believe.
@@ObscureManifestoI understand your frustration. I’ve been in the US for 25 yrs. Dating was difficult. Constantly being shamed about work visa fraud and immigration, female related violence in India hurts our image tremendously. But this is a big ploy by the western UK/US elite. They will continue to portray that to show their supremacy. There is little we can do about it as individuals. The elite all have their investments in the US. They will not speak up. Shockingly India is now the poorest country in the world. Nigeria overtook India. It’s tough. Indian Union is a messy chaotic place where there is no unity to fight this trade and wealth imbalance. I thought a lot about it and I feel sad how not many in India including rich and politicians simply do not understand how contemptuous the western elite are towards India and Indians. Anyways.. keep your head up and try to live a balanced life. It’s a slow struggle. Cheers.
THIS 💯
@@ObscureManifestowell that shouldn't be everybody's problem. One can only handle so much.
@tinag7506 uh no, that's literally the reason why hindus have been enslaved for thousands of years now. You want to accept and be okay with everything. No, take a freaking stand and fight for it. Literally the weakest people because others can just come and take over without even trying. Loser mentality
This is so positive. I wasn't expecting it. He really loves India.👍
Indeed I was only speaking the truth
It’s your mistake to think that he loves India. He only loves resources, amount of potential india has to STEAL from. And, the Indian weather is what he likes.
Indian food is what he likes because their own food is disgusting and GMO modified vegetables in the UK.
Don’t get fooled by his nice talk about India and Indians. Or his nice smiling face smiling at india.
I know these criminals personally so do other Indians who lived in the UK. They still HATE YOU.

Thanks for this. I’m of Indian descent but born in the UK, looking to move to India and connect more closer with my roots and culture. Also feel India is at a beautiful spot right now where it’s going to witness a complete transformation, and I would like to be part of that and contribute.
I was born in India but grew up mostly in the US.. recently I took a 3 year sabbatical to India. It was great .. good experience.. my plan is to retire EARLY in India
@@MalluStyleMultiMediathat's great, choose a coastal city or the Himalayas 👍🏻
Good luck to you, a bit too late for me, but I would move to India in a heart beat if I was younger, tough country, very competitive but theres a energy in that country I have yet to experience anywhere else, breath it in, your making a very good move, best of luck, JSK
That's a point, India is now currently in a transforming stage.
@@Raj-mb6ukhe might choose from the Indian state of what his parents were from him, don't expect everyone to choose the states that you like or living in.

Our society building in Hyderabad is full of East European people as well as many Spanish & Taiwanese. I asked many of them the reason - it is almost always their work forced them to come to India and now they don't want to go back. They have "easy life". This gentleman probably explained some of the things like delivery, UPI etc which, I personally have taken for granted
Interesting
Which area is the building in?

For all the expats in india, checkout the local park in morning hours for a walk. 6 am to 0830 am. Lots of Indians go for a morning walk and it so peaceful (most of the time). Also you do get to meet a community.
You mean, "For all the Immigrants in India..."
pity the expats in britain cant check out the local park, maybe because they are sitting in detention centres?

but what is wrong that is the reality dude.
@@jaimin333😒 did you really visited India before??....every state is different...once you come and show me one slum in Kerala State where I reside....it is not the reality that is shown..it is only the perspective of the west
I'm Asian American and I am not from India. I thought the same about Slumdog Millionaire and I saw it in the US in a university town which appreciates Indian culture very much. That movie was actually made by a British director who lived in Mumbai and was touted as someone who knows the city very well.
India is not portrayed well or even correctly in that movie. India is huge economy, on its way to become the 3rd largest in the world. The movie in no way does justice to rich Indian culture or our economic heft.
@@KiriAatam Unfortunately it won the Oscar for Best Picture.
As I said its unfortunate that the movie didn't portray the part of India that we all know and love.
@@Rapture77 Why hide the fact that it exists in India? West also has its own ghettos. You neither have to hide nor reveal it.
@@indianmilitary Its not hidden. The point was the movie chose to highlight the old colonial stereotype -memes which ignore the progress and the deeper virtues of Indian society.
Delhi is amazing. no doubt about it. We welcome everyone & the food is super awesome.
Nice to hear other peoples experiences of India as an expat or long term resident.I'm Australian and spent multiple years living in a small village in Goa with my Goan husband in the 1990's. I also found that my use of english changed to suit the local grammar style and my accent became slightly 'Indianised'. I was unaware of this until my sister mentioned it to me later. I also had difficulty with the Konkani language though finally managed to have functional Konkani after a couple of years. It made local travel and day to day life less isolating. Not many people I knew spoke english at that time. Now when I go back to Goa, the percentage of native Goan's living in Goa seems less than the that of Indians from other states and Hindi seems to the dominant language used 'on the ground'. I love the food but never got used to the really really hot dishes - this didn't matter as we cooked most of our own food and I learned heaps of wonderful recipes. The only time I fell ill from food was from a cup of chai while staying in a cheap hotel in Old Delhi. My favourite thing was to bus into Margoa for shopping and stop for idli sambar and chai or puri badjo and chai before catching the bus home again. It was a simple life, I loved it. Mind you there is a lot of paperwork and bureaucratic hurdling to do with utilities, bill paying, council interactions and transport which can be time consuming and tiring if limited to buses.
A hot cup of chai should not make you ill. It could have been the cup itself if it was a cheap hotel. The guy here said that spices may be the reason people get sick but actually there’s bacteria which makes people sick. And when I say people I mean foreigners. Indians have a resistance to these bacteria…my friend and I ate the same food and only one of us got sick. Usually it’s water related so always drink packaged mineral water and don’t try pani-puri, local popsicles etc. Fruit juice from a street shop is fine as long as it doesn’t have ice in it because even the ice is made from the same tap water. Tea is safe because it’s steaming hot and that kills any bacteria but in your case that didn’t help.
Thanks for your comments. You still need your own transport in Goa to get around. But all the utility payments have gone online.
Goa is inexorably slow for most Indians. We go there when we want to slow down. It's lovely but definitely not the place for efficiency. Most Indians would lose patience if they have to live there!
Yo I’m from Goa!! But my family is descendants of European settlers, but Konkani is wayy easier for me to visit again tho
Also it’s Margão not Margoa 🤣
I am also from Goa
My best buisness colleague from UK is living in Bangalore for 25 years, he loves it!!! As everyone he do complains but the journey he has seen from 2000-until is mind boggling. He thinks it will be the epicentre for innovation and technological progress
All big cities around the world and in India including Bangalore will be finished or become ghost towns due to impending de-dollarization after 2025. Tier 2 towns and Tier 3 villages have more scope
My partner has been to Bengalaru ( isn’t that Bangalore ) and says it’s very nice , I’m interested to go there now

I like how he said that there are misconceptions about how people and the west portray India in the media and that every place on earth has problems. Loved the unbiased opinions of so many things he has seen, experienced and tasted.
maybe they arent "misconceptions" but how they feel.
@@thomasking3792 yes based on limited information or portrayal of India. 😂😂
Indians seem to have misconceptions about us too. I still to this day get called a racist, murderer and coloniser by Indian nationalists online despite the fact that my very passion in life is people and cultures of the world. I live for the promotion of languages, peoples and cultures, but apparently I am a racist oppressor.

I'm proud of you Jamie. Anyone can settle anywhere in the world or be born anywhere. I'm a UK 🇬🇧 born Indian and I love India so much and my mind & spirit is always there and proud of my roots. I never listen to anything negative about India especially anything said from NRIs. The late Bollywood actor Gora Sahib Tom Alter was born in India, Mussorie and spoke very fluent Hindi, Urdu etc. Late Bob Christo who was an Australian born worked in Bollywood movies portraying negative roles then later on taught Yoga in Mumbai.

Jamie's ability to embrace the life and culture of india is much commendable. More and more expats like Jamie should come to india and make india their home.
Living in india may be frustrating sometimes but I can guarantee that there is no chance of getting depressed.
Visit UK for holiday and may be to see a doctor only if you can have private treatment. This is what I think.
So true, well said❤
India now is pretty globalized. If you go to Google and type restaurants in Kohima and restaurants in Aizawl, you will be recommended several restaurants with google ratings above 4. Then you will find a whole lot of Italian, Korean and Chinese restaurants and you will even see pictures of funky mocktails.
You can type restaurants in Hakha and Kale, Myanmar nearby across the border, what you will see are only some local joints serving Burmese food.
However, there are foreigners only visiting slums in India and eating street foods, then they fall sick and an impression is created that India only has street food which makes you sick.
Then I was seeing the list of 50 best restaurants in Asia, Odette from Singapore is ranked 6, Meta in Singapore is ranked 17, Masque in Mumbai is ranked 16th and Indian Accent in Delhi is ranked 19th.
One of the best chefs in the world is Gaggan Anand who has opened a fine dining Indian restaurant called Gaggan Anand in Bangkok ranked 5th in Asia.
Agree with him in all points ....he understood india really well....enjoy india 😊
All things aside I personally feel, having lived abroad for close to 30 years, that outside of India there is focus only on materialism whereas in India spiritualism is paramount in manifesting material comforts.
Materialism has increased in india multifolds
Yes, and India's spiritualism is the reason why many, many westerners are always coming back to India❤🇮🇳
Lovely to hear positive comments about India. A great interview ❤ I love India.
Feels heartwarming to see someone from UK enjoy his life in India. Feeling blessed . What a wonderful and gripping talk show. He analyzes situations so well.🎉 keep them coming.
You forgot to mention one important point about india .. the easy availability of healthcare and over the counter medicines, no unrealistic waitings for doctor’s appointments.
true story i have stayed in india for 30 years and now currently living in london uk the walking thing is so true indian infrastructure doesn't consider people who want to walk
Big thumps up for showing the positive side of the country. Please try and visit North East India. You will be amazed by the people, food and culture…
I cannot remember if I said but I did visit Kaziranga and it was awesome but appreciate there is much more to see
Actually Cycling is very easy if you are adapted to it and that too in most crowded places. Yes, you'lll have to slow down a bit or may even have to stop sometimes. But still its quite safe. I am 26 and never in my life seen someone die due to accident while riding a bicycle but have seen numerous accidents in case of a Motorcycle or a Car.
For a foreigner to get used to Indian road conditions is a whole new level of alertness which most are incapable of.
@@Masood1810 Yes very true. That's why I said it is easy if you are adapted.

Yea cycling can be risky in very busy roads. I prefer to take longer routes which are not that dangerous
This interview was so interesting! Hats off to expats who start to love India. 🙏🏾
Max, try to do some background shots that relate to the things that the expats are talking about. So if they're talking about nice lifestyles, good restaurants, then show something that depicts that as well. Because the truth is that the India that expats will live is not the same India as someone who may be in chronic poverty.
Definitely!
@harisadu8998 'Chronic poverty" in big Indian cities are in pockets just like how you can find ghettos in certain places in all western nations. Point is majority does not live in "chronic poverty" regardless of country of residence.
i enjoy so much these episodes on foreigners in India, live vicariously through them.

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 .😂😂
I am on your side ! Despite the widely reported caste system and honor killing and lack of toilets, India is a great nation. Indians have become CEOs of big tech companies, and presidents of UK USA@@Vitamins152
This man has a very deep insight about Indian culture and traditions. Enjoyed the interview. Waiting for more such videos👍
Very nice! I am an Indian living in the west and I do feel that westerners are not even aware of how great living in India is. All they know of India is what is shown in movies like Slumdog Millionaire and White tiger. If only the media and entertainment showed the world the greatness of my country rather than showing just the flaws...which by the way in Canada, the US and the UK are much much more.
Khalistani?
Still you went to live in west 😂😂😂😂😂WHAT A HYPOCRISY SON
Not true... I watch an Indian vlogger from Odisha(sp)? who lives in a village he mainly vlogs on food but also shows you around the village...his life has changed a lot since he started a utube channel..personally I find it very interesting but do come away feeling frustrated that people should live in such poverty when their country is sending rockets to wherever.....but that's me......hopefully one day the money will trickle down to the villages....
@@ginashiel105 you didn't understand what I meant. Let me repeat in a nutshell for you...every country has its flaws but the media is biased towards showing only the flaws that India has whereas western countries have a lot of huge issues too which nobody wants to show. That's unfair. In Canada, the US and the UK, healthcare is a joke. Nobody talks about that. Gun killings are a big issue in the US, nobody talks about that. Drugs consumption is a big issue here in North America, nobody talks about that. The list is even longer. But I think it's clear what I am trying to say here.
Of course we know the flaws in the West and its shown through the media...maybe you aren't looking in the right places.....we are painfully aware and try to address the issues by trying to vote for people who actually care about their country and its people....and that is not an easy task as there is a lot of corruption in high places...!
Actually it is the currency difference when he calculates everything in £. Main thing is the medical help you get. Even the poorest of poor in India can get almost free health benefits by the Govt. Compare that to the UK. Whether in Pounds or Rupees that is not available in UK 😊
As a black westerner when I traveled there I found India to be the most filthiest and most racist country on earth.
They are desperate to be white and desperate to have validation from a white person, if they get even a whiff that they are not getting validated of their fake glories, they get extremely mad/upset under the garb of 'colonial history '.
The black nations in India from Calcata to Madras are particularly racist.
Lastly, India is a multinational, multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural subcontinent turned into a country by the Brits but they never give this credit to the Brits...
But uk is a free healthcare country right?
@@nukebarbarbarian3735 yup 👍. In UK it is almost free for all residing in UK. But very very expensive in the US. You take months to get a dentist's appointment
My phone was charging. Had to yank it out to respond. Why don’t YOU go and get the ‘free government healthcare which the poorest of the poor can get’ in India.
Free healthcare? Are you serious? most of Government hospital are in very bad condition.
UK, Canada has free healthcare(Well not really free, Its deducted in tax but still if you get any major disease you won't be bankrupt), you must be confused with USA where healthcare is insane. Indian hospitals as not expensive as USA but still for average working class its burn the pocket.
Welcome Max ,,,regards and proud and appreciate the great compassion and India and UK have lived together for 300 years and we need to get to the goodness of each other
As a British person, I absolutely love India and would definitely consider moving there in the future. Amazing country and people.
I appreciate him. He chose to live here and his every word is true, domestic help is easily available here and we can focus on other things. Family is important for every Indian. Welcome to India 🎉🎉❤️❤️
Hi Max, loved the interview. It would be great if you could also ask these interviewees to talk a bit more about what they do in India in terms of their business or employment, differences in the work culture, and ease of doing business in other countries versus India. Thanks.
Sure!
Send Max to India. There are enough crazy places in Delhi and Mumbai to give him the real deal of the new superpower
@@6732VK Every city in the world has its ghettos and 'crazy" places. But all big cities of the world including ones in India are funded by fiat dollar and black money which eventually going to come to an end after 2025 due to impending de-dollarization. All big cities will be reset along with their positives and negatives. Tier 2 towns and Tier 2 villages have better scope after 2025.
Tell him to marry and settle here😂
What a positive person!! Looks like he sees only good things in everything!!! Keep it up bro!! 🎉
such a good conversation! We learned so much
This was a great interview. Loved hearing his perspective on life in India . Thank you!
Every line you stated is very true about India. Agreed with all the points you described in a simple and beautiful manner.🙏
Thank you
Must appreciate your understanding and respect for a Indian culture.
I’m from Jammu & I’ve travelled abroad to the east Asia & the west as well. Here at my place the weather is relatively good & I get free range eggs, chicken, meat & basically everything I need from Italian basil to apples, plums & what not homegrown in my house & rest from the market. Best place to live in India & lucky to be born here.
Glad to have you in India and contributing to Indian economy.❤
Its funny how he only shows the worst parts of Mumbai and Delhi while contrasting it with the best parts of London. There's so much more to India than dirty and crowded streets which is literally the only thing that these foreign youtubers and media show.
Ivana perkovic shows good parts of india in her videos
this is part of putting india down, they llike the best of india for themselves butslag it of when they show indians themselves, they see it as being for themselves, why else do they call themselves expats, and none natives in their country immigrants.
@@thomasking3792I've seen some acting high and mighty. Despite having no home help at home back in the Uk, here in India they behave as if they are from Royalty.
It takes pure soul to love India❤ and this guy has one ✨
India❤ Bless
And thank you🧡💚 for being part of our world.
Great to hear his perspective ❤.. love to see a video about Bangalore 😊
Thanks for this honest interview mate, glad to hear he is having a good time in India. More of these stories need to come out to break the stereotypes most Westerners have about India. Good job!
Britain; salt and pepper and that's about it 😅 - Ive beeen to India twice (looking forward to 3rd visit soon). Love Bharat Mata-ji. Not sure if i could live there long term - but to visit it's the best. Incredibly friendly too. Locals really do want to know all about you over a cup masala chai 🇮🇳❤️
love this foreigners in india series Max. keep up the good work
glad to see the conversation as it was full of positivity and truth
Thank you for putting up this interview! ❤ My friends wont like when I say Slumdog Millionaire was the worst movie about India. It's extremely negative, whatever Boyle was thinking. Here, he is telling exactly who's and how's if anyone wants to travel to my lovely country.
But it won Oscars. Showing one side of reality also wins prizes even though there is another side.
@@indianmilitary showing off our poor and deprived will always win prizes from the foreign racist audience
@@indianmilitary So what? Henry Kissinger also got Nobel Peace Prize? Does that makes Kissi boy, an apostle of peace?
@@shumbuk4383its worth remembering that Boyle made his reputation with a film called "trainspotting " which depicted poor western drug addicts.
In India, there is a lot to see and much much more to feel. It's a civilization, not a colony.
Amazing video. I saw a couple of others and happy to see people from different country finding a home away from home. I think an open mind or a positive attitude is the key to survival.
Cool stuff I'm an NRI not born in India but I love India.Hats off to you living in India,I wish I could live there some day.🙏.
Beyond using common sense in terms of hygiene, the condition of a foreigner's stomach - be it in India or elsewhere - is mostly about adapting to the local microbiome.
Enjoyed listening to this conversation.
I enjoyed this conversation. It was interesting to get a perspective on my country and city from a person who comes from a different country with a different culture. I appreciate how objective and respectful he was while talking about his observations and experiences here. Hope you have a great stay and many more wonderful experiences for as long as you choose to live in Mumbai or elsewhere in India.
Thank so much you for sharing geniune things about India🙏. I agree, even we are living in India we won't prefer street food but surely good restaurants maintain hygiene and taste 👍 . Traffic is very big problem in India ☹️. Controlling Weather is not possible but we need little change in life style during summer, like by changing food in take.😊 India is the best place on earth to live 😍 I love my country ❤️.
It was my pleasure to account on my time in India.
Me too❤
@@expat_in_india You are one of the very few people from the West who actually presented the good and great side of India. Being an Indian, I thank you for that.😊. I'm from Delhi too.
If you have enough income source... every place is livable
Well, that's a very good point. It's easy for him to say that the UK has lots to learn from India, when what he likes in India is that there are millions of poor people whom he can pay cheaply to perform services for him. It would not be good for Britain if we emulated that model. What I hope most for India is good education and good jobs for all its people, and then I think he would find it costs rather more to be waited on hand and foot.
Surprised him to say that every country has slums where people rob and steal. Me sitting in East Asia like ????
I am a Indian In United Kingdom... Missing India ❤
Very frank and candid. Spoke honestly about what he experienced.
A very nice conversation with the expat. I wish Max had asked the Englishman what brought him to India in the first place, and how he kept himself occupied -- both in Delhi and in Mumbai.
Maybe there is a second vid!
@@expat_in_india I hope there is one. The observations of this Englishman are very perceptive.
It all boils down to currency exchange & also services available such as domestic helper & grocery delivery as compared to the UK.
Urban Clap, swiggy, Zomato 😮😢
It also means, we have to take into account Indian GDP in terms of purchasing power parity (which takes into account exchange rate differences) to assess Indian standard of living rather than GDP in nominal dollar terms. India is already the third largest economy in the world in terms of PPP
Love the interview, thx
good points for indian who move within india north-south, south-north to make friends

In west bengal we do use the bicycle a lot , i have not seen that much in other parts of india except in east india. In east there is western influence more I think, u will find certain things here in the east than in other parts of india which will be good or much easier for ppl like u. Maybe south india is easier too to adjust
He is doing the Indian head wobble and expressive hand movements… 😁
❤❤ from India on 🎉🎉1 million views... Will you reply on this... Lets see how happy u are..😊🎉
Difference between hindi and English grammar is basic sentence construction is
subject 🔄 object
And if you had any language barrier pronounce slowly English words subject, object in you sentence they will understand you.
He's not a linguist, I think. He speaks as if Hindi is completely alien, when it is an Indo-European tongue belonging to the same large language family.
You can become Vin Diesel of Bicycle if you learn to ride here 😂
Hi Jamie. Greetings from India. I used to live in the UK for more than 10 years (South Wales and Middlesex, London). It's nice to hear of your experiences in Delhi and Mumbai. I think you should explore South and North-East of India. They are all different. Best wishes.
Just love India but only been there as a tourist travelling alone. Am british expat but in Berlin 50 years in june this year, have had a surge of indian restaurants the last years and the food is brilliant here
Great video!, Though i suggest reviewing South India, because its completely different here, less traffic and a lot more nature.
Not in the middle of Chennai it's not, or up and down the Old Mahabalipuram Road.
umm have u seen bangalore??
That was spot on.
India always welcomes people who have an open mind and want to educate themselves and live in harmony with the local population.
Thanks Max for these detailed interview which are helping to get right perception about great India and Indians to the world.
I live in London and I do appreciate it his point of view. Thankyou for putting up the positives. But I wonder if a women expat from London living in India would have the same experience. Because things are very different for a man and a woman in India. In terms of security and socialising, it is too very different.

Yes agreed it varies for women but city as well. Many of my friends tell me this too.
I moved from India to Uk recently and I can tell I am missing home cause everything is so cheap back there but that's not the case here in UK. I didn't know you had to book slots and pay to get groceries delivered. In India its free!! Food here is so expensive and quite blant.
You can get food delivered free in Uk , you are shopping in the wrong place !
Loved that "Cooked to an inch of its life" that's about sums up Indian food
Congrats on reaching 1M views🎉🎉
As a Indian living in the UK (soon will be returning), I totally second what he has said in the interview….
You will have the most interesting ride. Please see as many R2I video as possible
why are you returning?
It always depends on one's attitude. If one is of a positive out look in life, he sees positive things, if negetive negetive things. Depends on what one is searching for, Garbage or sweet things.
I met a Portuguese guy on Instagram an year ago and surprisingly he visited India and stayed with me st my house for 4 days,we visited a number of Historical monuments, river Ganga and temples in those 4 days. Now he is planning to retire after 5 years and wants to settle in India somewhere in Jodhpur and would like to be in tourism there.
Indians are running away from India, you are grateful that you chose India to stay thanks sir ❤❤
I want to live in India as well.
भारत के बारे मे रूढिवादी सोच को बदलने की सख्त आवश्यकता है इस तरह की विडियो बनती रहनी चाहिए और अन्य भाषाओ मे भी उपलब्ध होनी चाहिए।
We will keep producing them for sure!
Much love to you from India
I appreciate you made this video. Could you also kindly use videos showing bright side of india like those big roads, cars , buildings, bridges rather than hawkers and slums..
Exactly. Congested markets, hawkers is all I could see
You should take few week holiday and go towards northern india himalayan states like himanchal , jammu and north east 🏕️🎉
