British lived in india for 200 years. We dont care for western certificates. India is beautiful . We dont need outsiders to tell us how we should feel about our own country
@@TheOnlyTruthTalkerThat too want only those people who need western certificate for everything 😂😂. Not everyone wants a Visa too.😂😂 I am an example who had worked in 4 MNC and still working in an American Company but never want to go On-site to western countries just because of people like you, who are racist about immigrants.
Sensible man....best part...indians are mostly spoken to and not spoken with. ....yes we need to be listened with. ...One of the best interviews. ...this man knows the pulse of India....
Why so many full stops/periods? Let me translate for you, as an Indian who speaks English and agrees with you: "You are a sensible person. The worst part though is that Indians are mostly spoken to instead of spoken with, in regards to the global understanding of India. Yes, we Indians clearly should be the first stop when it comes to understanding India. Great interview, he's got his finger closer to the pulse of India than most other foreigners have managed."
I used to love India, but since the advent of Hindu Nazionalism, India has become a divisive country full of hate for its minorities, its neighbors, almost all western countries, loving and supporting only Putin.
I believe India has a great future. It could become nr. 1 if they want to. I live in Switzerland. We have our own issues in Switzerland. And other nations have issues too. India should focus on making Indian a safe place for women, it should focus on getting rid of the classes system. It should focus on infrastructure. I see huge potential in India but sadly there is a sense of blind pride and ignorance when it comes to the issues of the shadow.
India is way too corrupt, and way too divided. There is zero civic pride. It’s too selfish. Too religiously divided, too caste divided. There’s too much pride, arrogance and hot headedness to overcome.
@@send_love class system is more like a political matter it happens extremely rarely that too is done by mostly uneducated people also regarding safety of women it is not that the country is not safe but rather the mindset of some people from specific religion like the peacefuls is very bad
@@send_love Of course, and it is a weakness in our common outlook, partly due to a sense of feeling obliged to defend ourselves against having been ruled for 200 years as a colony of some Europeans, partly due to an artificial campaign originally intended to restore pride in their heritage among the majority population, the Hindus, that became a political weapon to win votes, come to power and rule by a rule-book that really does not represent the bulk of the country.
Jeff Goldberg couldn’t have been more candid be more candid, yet at same time voice neutral views of India, speaks volumes of his attitude towards travel n humanity. He was able to relate to the societal changes in the last 2 or 3 decades be it development, social values etc while some of the kids here are beginning to miss these contexts. Max as always tremendous efforts from your end to get the content rolling out. Kudos to you.
I'm a Malayali Living in Bangaluru,I love the Way you Speak about Malayalam Movies and happy to hear about My Country BHARAT 🇮🇳 Love from Bengaluru Karnataka 🙏🩷🇮🇳
In other words, many Americans think that the world revolves around them. 😅😅😅 I also hv many American friends who are very open and willing/wanting to learn about local cultures.
that's the guy who really got mixed with India and Indians with his still uniqueness , openness and that how anyone should do it and not come with their predetermined notions.i love to know about your experience Jeff in India.keep enjoying in India and may the god bless you

💯💯💯Dude this is very true!!! Living here in BHARAT as an American I realize that I cant expect anything here in India to change for me or for things to be done the "American way" hahaha!!! I am learning to get used to the "Indian way" as I should be since I am living here in this country. Only been here for only a few months and vlogging the journey and with my family of six we are loving it!!! 💯💯💯
@@TheOnlyTruthTalker what's the difference? They rank no. 5 in the world rich list. Even at the individual level 3rd highest number of billionaires in the world.
Indians like to be late and they hate line ups. They are strong in education. India loves foods and its festivals and its rich culture and dharmic life. There are some that want to be like westerners but they are few. Indians know all there neighbours and everyone on the same street. Indians are very social and love to have fun. Indians also love gold especially the women in India, this is why we associate women to the goddess Laxmi. It’s based on deep old philosophy and culture. It’s pretty cool. I am an Indian since age 11 I have been living in the west but I love my Indian mother land and culture and philosophy. It is a gem. I get the best of both Sides.
I live in a house full of Indians. They do not like to be late😂. My landlord runs a gas station in a dangerous area of my state, works very hard, is kind and respectful and probably the best landlord I've ever had. As an Italian, Indians share many things that we treasure, such as family, food, and hard work.
After I saw the video, I understood that Jeff is totally right in his assessment of Indian society. Further his views about the future of Indian film industry are great . Now the south Indian movies for their content related with family, society, political problems are being liked even Hindi Belt. Dubbing in Hindi n subtitles in Hindi are facilitating the Hindi audiences to understand them. I have became great fan of south Indian movies especially Malyalam. Really thanks for creating n posting this video on UA-cam.
Jeff Goldberg is the most authentic ambassador of Indian Cinema. I loved the way he gave the most professional summary of Indian Cinema. Yes, Bollywood is just a part of Indian Cinema.
There is nothing like bollywood follywood zholawood exists in the whole world, see neatly open your eyes & always remember there is christianwood as you all christians created that exists which is definitely not a part of BHARATIY CHITRAPAT.
I grew up in india and moved to America in the 1970s. My dad grew with India’s largest electronics company and I got to interact with people from all over the world. When Im in india, I’m able to live like an Indian, and when I’m in America, I’m able to live there easily as well. The secret is to suspend judgement in either place.
Our team especially Samir Saran or Dr Jaishankar have indicated on multiple forums that India has its own features, values, culture, civilisation, and it is intrinsically proud of it and will give that up. It’s for the world to acknowledge it and get on with it.
Max ... 1) We want more foreigners in India 2) We want more videos from you 3) We want more of Jeff - the best guest you've had 4) We want you to move to India Fulfill this wishlist please!
Yeah, he is capitalilising on India! Defending and parroting the godi media's narrative made for their master, boosting the ego of blind followers (andh bhakts), and contributing to destroying democracy-all for your selfish personal gain.
Haha lol comedy of the 21st century....india is not even top 50 of the best country to live in...... No adequate comforts for majority of population, no good infrastructure, no health benefits, no hygiene, corruption, caste, religion , unequal wealth distribution, pollution, population density, 1000s of languages, no scientific research, no innovation etc etc lost goes onand on
The way to determine whether a country is the best in the world or not, is to count the number of people who migrate to another country for a better life

That's the jist of Asian cultures . And India being one of the oldest civilizations still surviving there is always that cultural melting pot one has to be ready to embrace. But one thing in India's advantage is they kind of know the personality traits of Americans due to work related assignments and education.And for an average american coming to India for travel or in professional capacity, just be respectful and humble. Even if you don't speak the local dialect the place people will always make sure to help you irrespective of how good their english communication is. And please don't constantly compare . It's unique and be ready to explore with an open mind. Since transportation through air, railway and roads are well connected accross the country and affordable hotels are everywhere taking online booking,there shouldn't be any issues as such. Yes the sheer scale of diversity will be overwhelming at first but not impossible to adjust. 😂
India is a very old civilization, lot of things the westerners think they discovered, we knew about it thousands of years ago. There is so much knowledge in our Vedas. It’s for you to understand. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I used to love India, but since the advent of Hindu Nazionalism, India has become a divisive country full of hate for its minorities, its neighbors, almost all western countries, loving and supporting only Putin.
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.
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, 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 or brown skin. But, they don't face discrimination. It's all about image.
Those who says India is great,then why theres queue In American embassy fr visa?In the name of MS education after B.E ,every india, students stay in USA,canada,australia?why?

India is a country that has many different sub cultures which has formed and developed over the last 5000 years at least. Each subculture has its own customs and practices which varies vastly from another. Someone who lives in Punjab has a totally different lifestyle and culture from a person who lives in Tamil Nadu. The diversity is quite amazing! Just like someone living in Estonia has a different culture from a person living in France. But the beauty is that they have learnt to live together in harmony and cohesion in the same country. And I agree that family is paramount to every Indian. There’s so much to discover in this rich culture which is a diverse tapestry so belt up and enjoy the ride. God bless India. 🌺😍
This gentleman is very genuine and knowledgeable. A couple of thoughts... having emigrated to America 50+ years ago, it still baffles me why, Americans still think, everyone wants be like them. Biden today says India and Japan are xenophobic, bcos they don't embrace immigrants. Is he serious! that sums up the hubris. With respect to prices going up everywhere...yep...too few goods and too much money chasing it, everywhere....printed that is, as it's value has eroded.
India is the only country in the world that sheltered persecuted humanity unconditionally and the consequence is we lost half our land to religious fanatics who built a terror heaven for world with it. Now these guys wants to come back to destroy it again. Once bitten twice shy - It’s common sense not xenophobia.
@@parnamsaini4751 I said this because There are many people in India who calls southern Indian actors as South actors where as Hindi actors Indian actors. They only know about Tamil unware of Other languages. Calls it South cinema or South Film Industry. In reality There are many film industries and different languages or different cusines. Being a foreigner he knows what is India than many other Indian. So i made this statement.
I think the American establishment, especially grandpa Biden should learn from this video , how to deal with India and Indians. Very interesting intellectual observation from an American.
Grandpa Biden is too far gone to learn anything. Everyday he can leave home with clothes on him without anybody telling him to do so is considered a successful day for him
Mumbai and Delhi do not define India. As somebody said, India is a collection of countries with diverse cultures, traditions, religions, food and many more. There is a night and day difference between the Northern part of India and the Southern India. Many foreigners end up in Delhi and Mumbai and assume this is the way of life for all Indians. That is completely wrong. I would recommend travelling from West to East of India and Noth to South of India and realise how crazily different the country is and then let the world know through such videos how differnet India as a place is. India is tough to understand for foreign nationals and India is definitely not for beginners. Even if you were to live in India for 20 years and are stuck in Mumbai and Delhi, it is high time to explore other states and cultures, especially the south (non-metros) and know there are silent and slow ways to live as well.
Indeed Delhi and Mumbai do not define the essence of the entire country. Nor does the definition of that *"somebody."* That definition is dangerous to say the least. It is important to emphasize that there is a common thread, but the flowers across the thread are different. That is what lends variety and colour, unlike the homogeneity of western countries. Even at the time of independence, the then powers expected India to break into many different parts. And they were waiting like vultures for that to happen. External agencies had eyes to influence those pieces when that happened. Some of them actively intervened with the help of covert activities and to subvert the unity with vested propaganda.
Max. One suggestion to you. Just stay here in India , for one year. Visit different regions stay with locals . Taste the different food if different regoin. Then you can understand us, we Indian people. We are very diverse in culture, but very connected to hearts as a true Indian. We have one best quality as Indian is , we have big hearts and easily accept the opposite person,as our friend,and try to merge him in our. Culture and family.
Unfortunately (?) there are certain lengths to visas when visiting India. So staying for a year is not usually possible. Fortunately I was able to be on a work visa and stay for 5 years (renewed every year).
Your self exploration, deep analysis and authenticity in your views is so spot on on and so genuine…you have so well translated what goes on in many many of easterners minds in a true cross cultural environment …thank you so much for this interview
Its not easy to understand oldest civilisation in the world which is INDIA.. We have system running for every economy class people …rich order from big basket and others from D-Mart and even further down we go to local grocery store by the streets. this is the way every one can servive in INDIA…This system is only in India 😅😅 Not Like others only set of options…
It’s very easy , there is nothing to deep especially in cultural aspect , and I don’t understand why people have left this oldest civilisation for the new one in west 😅
I was born and raised in India until 25 and completed 25 years this year in US, turning 50years old this year. I realized that material wealth and comfort will not fulfil a human being. India's greatest wealth is our spirituality. One cannot find it with research or discussions. It can only be experienced....
How do you live in India as a westerner? Do you leave every 6 months to renew the visa? I’m not a business owner just an older woman who loves India after travelling there twice so far. I want to live in India, not Australia.
@@nooran678 I think you didn’t understand my statement properly!! - Their ego means ( westerners who come to India with an attitude that India is poor, third world developing country .. these kind of mindset )
You must be blind or deaf then, because anyone who has visited India will tell you that when the plane door opens, you get a very foul smell in the air. South Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) are the only countries in the world that are like that.
I will recommend few more really classic but modern films to watch. 1. Kantara - kannada film 2. Deiva thirumagal - tamil film Old movies: 3. Shankarabharanam - telugu film 4. Samskara - kannada 5. Chomana dudi - kannada
@@yashrao5269 Thing is we Indians know some background about the coastal karnataka cultures. Not sure if it really impresses those who are not part of the culture.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in USA, do as the USA does. Then naturally when in India, do as the Indians do. Why is it so difficult to understand?
Please explain, why do westerners expect lndian to change to accommodate their expectations, we are lndians ,with our very own culture, tradition, religion, language, food .This is lndia ,not America or UK or Europe .you need to change when you come here not us,sick of westerners having an ego ,just because you are American.
Because India’s way of living life is extremely unsanitary, as simple as that. Westerners are not expecting the people of India to change their language, culture or traditions, they are only asking them to adopt the culture of basic hygiene, which is almost impossible to find in India.
@@TheOnlyTruthTalkerthe average indian has a bath every day and washes his tush with water and washes his hands several times a day particularly before food.frankly feel turned off by people who use waste paper to clean their bums and then stick out their palms to shake hands ..Sorry we are way more hygienic in personal matters than average western dude's
@@TheOnlyTruthTalker Are you indian ? if yes then you have some personal agenda with your country. if not , you have yet to know the vast india. Not everything is unhygienic. In a country of 1.4 B it is obvious not everything will be hygenic being a developing country where avg per capita income is around 3200 USD. Have some sense. Otherwise come to my house , or my city i can change your opinion that every place in india is unhygienic.
every place has its negative image. US does its own. Their gun culture , They lecture every developing country about human rights. Whats going on in university in US against students? They are silent now. It is not a wise decision to throw a rock on others house when your own house is made up of glass.In India there is many unhygienic places. But All the india is unhygienic, this is a myth that western media spreads. And people take that as they settled world order before. as simple as that. When you have money , you have power. But this is not the way modern world works. People know everything what all are doing.I respect US what they have done in scientific studies.But that does not mean they have right to poke every developing country's internal matter. Let alone iraq , afghanistan, vietnam ,myanmar genocides that have done. It will not be accepted at all in modern world.
You understood him badly. You're being like the americans that he criticized in the interview. There is no such thing as "the most glorious nation" that excessive patriotism is a negative thing.

I really appreciate your interviews. I've lived in the US for many years, but have come to realize what connects me to my roots is my love for the country's music. I believe that you cannot be truly Indian until you appreciate India's traditional and commercial music.
Satyajit Ray was one of the greatest directors from India. Shakti was an all time classic and very underrated movie from the early 80s. Amitabh in his Prime with Dilip Kumar , another incredible actor. I cant really relate to modern Indian commercial cinema.
We indian and we really don't care what you think about india. We lived here and we know how beautiful it is but we indian have one more quality that we really want to know that what is good and bad side of us. We really try to improve ourselves from good to better and then best.
This man has truly lived in India and has become part of the culture and lifestyle of India albeit of the Tier 1 city such as Mumbai. Sincere respect for presenting his view points so articulately, accurately and honestly.

India could still use some cleanliness.. ive been to a few countries and the only thing that actually bothers me so much is that local shops have zero concept of being clean and keeping your surroundings clean. If we lock that up then it would be a huge difference
8:35 This guy actually gets it. The lack of safety net is the real danger in India. And that produces insecurity which makes people not take risks or do any innovative stuff that can cause loss of money. That defines our culture. I earn lakhs, I have paid lakhs of rupees in taxes but if I get fired or laid off tomorrow, I don't get any support from the government.
I don't think even 1 out of 1000 people watching this video require the subtitles. Instead of forcing them on the screen, why don't you put them in cc so that they are optional.
This video is targeted towards Indians. It makes sense to add Hindi subtitles on the go. Especially having the national language up has its perks. Not everyone can understand English or it's many accents you know?
You know not everyone in India speaks Hindi and it's not a national language just an official language among the other 22 ,For me it's really annoying to see it as it's a distraction@@danceoffAsh

The main problem with west specially with US is now a days they r interfering with our culture too much. They certainly dont want to understand that their culture or their democracy or their way of life is much much different than ours. They judge indians with their biased lens that suits them. Specially US influence. US dont want to listen our perspective. Many org , Many media is controlled by them, We now a days know everything how US monopolies world. We are a diff democracy, The largest in the world. We certainly have different values and ethics. Dont know why US want to pressure us , We dont want to carry our things just like you want to do in your country. US deep state should know this. We have no problem with any country in the world except the chinese govt officials for some reasons. But they way US and his allies are behaving with india , will not be good for the overall good for the world. We want to grow with the system of our own. US and its allies should respect that being fellow democracy.
Having lived in France for 16 years and now living in Pune - india, I am able to understand your guests a lot more, because my feelings are the same. However things change drastically from city to city. Pune is a different scenario. 😅
As an American, I would never have such a self centered viewpoint. What he describes in the beginning of the video is disgusting to me. Please don’t generalize based on his opinion
he was speaking about American administrations foreign policy since end of WW2 , not the viewpoint of ordinary americans . Many nations bend before american agenda except few countries and india is one of them
Sensible man I ever witnessed, respect the locals wherever he lives, whether france or India or Germany! Never seen such a good understanding ! Loved and amazed his understanding of life!
Point of Family, spot on, yes .. Indians are very open about Family.. that is one of the ways we immediately understand of what subjects of conversation would be appropriate with the said person... Most times 2 Indians meet it's like two families discover each other.. most often those families will meet each other or speak on phone.. that's one section of Indian social fabric which wants to be entangled rather than be unique.. this is the result of colonial rule ending.. we have made it almost impossible for anyone to now divide or categorise us.
Which is good, because it's good to get a different perspective about you from others. Many, if not all, Indians are curious people. They want to know about others and about themselves from others. Also, you need to know that India is now the most populated country, so the chances of finding Indians on popular youtube content will be high, whether it's about India or not.
@@RahilSethi Indians are just desperate for global validation. There’s very few things that are good in India, therefore Indians are very eager to see their country being painted in a good light by westerners.

India is way too corrupt, and way too divided. There is zero civic pride. It’s too selfish. Too religiously divided, too caste divided. There’s too much pride, arrogance and hot headedness to overcome.
@@send_love class system is more like a political matter it happens extremely rarely that too is done by mostly uneducated people also regarding safety of women it is not that the country is not safe but rather the mindset of some people from specific religion like the peacefuls is very bad
@@everywisdomforyou I think India is a huge country and we are probably both right in different regions
@@send_love Of course, and it is a weakness in our common outlook, partly due to a sense of feeling obliged to defend ourselves against having been ruled for 200 years as a colony of some Europeans, partly due to an artificial campaign originally intended to restore pride in their heritage among the majority population, the Hindus, that became a political weapon to win votes, come to power and rule by a rule-book that really does not represent the bulk of the country.
Jeff Goldberg couldn’t have been more candid be more candid, yet at same time voice neutral views of India, speaks volumes of his attitude towards travel n humanity. He was able to relate to the societal changes in the last 2 or 3 decades be it development, social values etc while some of the kids here are beginning to miss these contexts. Max as always tremendous efforts from your end to get the content rolling out. Kudos to you.

He seems to me like a brother every one can have . Who will listen to your problem and give a perspective. He is a philosopher.
Cancelled my movie plan to watch this video :) . Good to know that there are people who see good things about other country's culture. Nice video.
Truly.
Which movie?
💯💯💯Dude this is very true!!! Living here in BHARAT as an American I realize that I cant expect anything here in India to change for me or for things to be done the "American way" hahaha!!! I am learning to get used to the "Indian way" as I should be since I am living here in this country. Only been here for only a few months and vlogging the journey and with my family of six we are loving it!!! 💯💯💯
As the Western phrase goes......U have to live like a Roman when u r in Rome.
It's true for everywhere

Jeff was a lovely guest and understands and respects india …. It was obvious in every word … really enjoyed this conversation 👍
29 states, 7th largest country, 1st largest population, 5th richest nation, 5000+ years culture - Max you can make so much more just around India.
5th biggest economy, not richest, there are over 100 countries richer than India.
@@TheOnlyTruthTalker what's the difference? They rank no. 5 in the world rich list. Even at the individual level 3rd highest number of billionaires in the world.
@@HurryPuttar007 The difference is that India is not rich, it’s extremely poor
@@TheOnlyTruthTalker you must be one of the poor from India, my bad. I should believe in a random troll next time instead of facts. My bad 😂
Stop drinking, we have a long way to go
Our currency is still low
Jeff has such a calming voice
Wanted to hear him for hrs , his observation is so spot on
Wish it never ended .. so much depth in this interview. Loved hearing to both of them and it was a journey thru India even for Indians.
Indians like to be late and they hate line ups. They are strong in education. India loves foods and its festivals and its rich culture and dharmic life. There are some that want to be like westerners but they are few. Indians know all there neighbours and everyone on the same street. Indians are very social and love to have fun. Indians also love gold especially the women in India, this is why we associate women to the goddess Laxmi. It’s based on deep old philosophy and culture. It’s pretty cool. I am an Indian since age 11 I have been living in the west but I love my Indian mother land and culture and philosophy. It is a gem. I get the best of both
Sides.
Just because you like being late doesn't mean every Indian does
I live in a house full of Indians. They do not like to be late😂. My landlord runs a gas station in a dangerous area of my state, works very hard, is kind and respectful and probably the best landlord I've ever had. As an Italian, Indians share many things that we treasure, such as family, food, and hard work.
You guys are the one of West people who appreciate INDIA. thank you for your great efforts
After I saw the video, I understood that Jeff is totally right in his assessment of Indian society. Further his views about the future of Indian film industry are great . Now the south Indian movies for their content related with family, society, political problems are being liked even Hindi Belt. Dubbing in Hindi n subtitles in Hindi are facilitating the Hindi audiences to understand them. I have became great fan of south Indian movies especially Malyalam. Really thanks for creating n posting this video on UA-cam.
Loved the interview, need more episodes with this gentleman.
Jeff Goldberg is the most authentic ambassador of Indian Cinema. I loved the way he gave the most professional summary of Indian Cinema. Yes, Bollywood is just a part of Indian Cinema.
There is nothing like bollywood follywood zholawood exists in the whole world, see neatly open your eyes & always remember there is christianwood as you all christians created that exists which is definitely not a part of BHARATIY CHITRAPAT.
Its really interesting to see others perspective about our country!!! Great video man🫡
I'm really enjoying all the Indian interviews!
What a nice show with Mr Jeff Golberg! I like this chanel too. Thank you and blessings to both of you from San Bernardino, CA, USA!
I grew up in india and moved to America in the 1970s. My dad grew with India’s largest electronics company and I got to interact with people from all over the world. When Im in india, I’m able to live like an Indian, and when I’m in America, I’m able to live there easily as well. The secret is to suspend judgement in either place.
such a great understanding by an american great interview... love from Karnataka , India...
Our team especially Samir Saran or Dr Jaishankar have indicated on multiple forums that India has its own features, values, culture, civilisation, and it is intrinsically proud of it and will give that up. It’s for the world to acknowledge it and get on with it.
Max ...
1) We want more foreigners in India
2) We want more videos from you
3) We want more of Jeff - the best guest you've had
4) We want you to move to India

Every country is unique & best to their citizens
@@abro99Except for South Asian countries. The ultimate life goal there is to emigrate.
Yup that's why we have 9 out of 10 most polluted places on earth
India is good. But there r a lot of thing we need to work on
Haha lol comedy of the 21st century....india is not even top 50 of the best country to live in......
No adequate comforts for majority of population, no good infrastructure, no health benefits, no hygiene, corruption, caste, religion , unequal wealth distribution, pollution, population density, 1000s of languages, no scientific research, no innovation etc etc lost goes onand on
The way to determine whether a country is the best in the world or not, is to count the number of people who migrate to another country for a better life
As an India who had received multiple job offers in US and CAN in the last 18 years, I never once even gave a thought to move out of India and leave my life here for something plastic ... No thanks.

Well spoken without being hypocritical.
Sincere perceptions about Indians.
That's the jist of Asian cultures . And India being one of the oldest civilizations still surviving there is always that cultural melting pot one has to be ready to embrace. But one thing in India's advantage is they kind of know the personality traits of Americans due to work related assignments and education.And for an average american coming to India for travel or in professional capacity, just be respectful and humble. Even if you don't speak the local dialect the place people will always make sure to help you irrespective of how good their english communication is. And please don't constantly compare . It's unique and be ready to explore with an open mind. Since transportation through air, railway and roads are well connected accross the country and affordable hotels are everywhere taking online booking,there shouldn't be any issues as such. Yes the sheer scale of diversity will be overwhelming at first but not impossible to adjust. 😂
Yep🎉🎉
India is a very old civilization, lot of things the westerners think they discovered, we knew about it thousands of years ago. There is so much knowledge in our Vedas. It’s for you to understand. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I used to love India, but since the advent of Hindu Nazionalism, India has become a divisive country full of hate for its minorities, its neighbors, almost all western countries, loving and supporting only Putin.
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.
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, 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 or brown skin. But, they don't face discrimination. It's all about image.
I agree
Those who says India is great,then why theres queue In American embassy fr visa?In the name of MS education after B.E ,every india, students stay in USA,canada,australia?why?
This is an American with a lot of wisdom...not in abundance in either of our countries, judging by the news 😅

The UA-cam algo works again!
India is a country that has many different sub cultures which has formed and developed over the last 5000 years at least. Each subculture has its own customs and practices which varies vastly from another. Someone who lives in Punjab has a totally different lifestyle and culture from a person who lives in Tamil Nadu. The diversity is quite amazing! Just like someone living in Estonia has a different culture from a person living in France. But the beauty is that they have learnt to live together in harmony and cohesion in the same country. And I agree that family is paramount to every Indian. There’s so much to discover in this rich culture which is a diverse tapestry so belt up and enjoy the ride. God bless India. 🌺😍
❤. My kid sister is married to a Tamilian. Settled in Bangalore. Quite relatable
This guy is wise and say what see and feel. Please bring him more often.
This gentleman is very genuine and knowledgeable. A couple of thoughts... having emigrated to America 50+ years ago, it still baffles me why, Americans still think, everyone wants be like them. Biden today says India and Japan are xenophobic, bcos they don't embrace immigrants. Is he serious! that sums up the hubris.
With respect to prices going up everywhere...yep...too few goods and too much money chasing it, everywhere....printed that is, as it's value has eroded.
India is the only country in the world that sheltered persecuted humanity unconditionally and the consequence is we lost half our land to religious fanatics who built a terror heaven for world with it. Now these guys wants to come back to destroy it again. Once bitten twice shy - It’s common sense not xenophobia.
Watching your interview from San Diego. Quite intuitive. Very apt for delhi

Being a foreigner he knows what is India than many other Indian. So i made this statement.

Thanku for adding hindi subtitles
That too pure shuddh Hindi, no Urdu words. This is how Hindi must be spoken
I think the American establishment, especially grandpa Biden should learn from this video , how to deal with India and Indians. Very interesting intellectual observation from an American.
Grandpa Biden is too far gone to learn anything. Everyday he can leave home with clothes on him without anybody telling him to do so is considered a successful day for him
Also if you are a musician, you can have a great time in India - with so many genres around musicians can really bond here
A man who sees marvels in small small things. In my opinion he is a gem of a person.
Very knowledgeable this guy. Talks in detail of everything. Not just India... Abt what's other countries are like. From all angles.. 👍
Mumbai and Delhi do not define India. As somebody said, India is a collection of countries with diverse cultures, traditions, religions, food and many more. There is a night and day difference between the Northern part of India and the Southern India. Many foreigners end up in Delhi and Mumbai and assume this is the way of life for all Indians. That is completely wrong. I would recommend travelling from West to East of India and Noth to South of India and realise how crazily different the country is and then let the world know through such videos how differnet India as a place is. India is tough to understand for foreign nationals and India is definitely not for beginners. Even if you were to live in India for 20 years and are stuck in Mumbai and Delhi, it is high time to explore other states and cultures, especially the south (non-metros) and know there are silent and slow ways to live as well.
Indeed Delhi and Mumbai do not define the essence of the entire country. Nor does the definition of that *"somebody."* That definition is dangerous to say the least. It is important to emphasize that there is a common thread, but the flowers across the thread are different. That is what lends variety and colour, unlike the homogeneity of western countries.
Even at the time of independence, the then powers expected India to break into many different parts. And they were waiting like vultures for that to happen. External agencies had eyes to influence those pieces when that happened. Some of them actively intervened with the help of covert activities and to subvert the unity with vested propaganda.
Really good try to explain about India. We know it's complex as we lived life here and still left to know more about..
Max. One suggestion to you. Just stay here in India , for one year. Visit different regions stay with locals . Taste the different food if different regoin. Then you can understand us, we Indian people. We are very diverse in culture, but very connected to hearts as a true Indian.
We have one best quality as Indian is , we have big hearts and easily accept the opposite person,as our friend,and try to merge him in our. Culture and family.
Unfortunately (?) there are certain lengths to visas when visiting India. So staying for a year is not usually possible. Fortunately I was able to be on a work visa and stay for 5 years (renewed every year).
India is huge nation but everywhere people are different and interesting.
Great Interview!!!
❤❤❤I LOVE MY Mother India❤❤❤
Yes... with tears of joy
Your self exploration, deep analysis and authenticity in your views is so spot on on and so genuine…you have so well translated what goes on in many many of easterners minds in a true cross cultural environment …thank you so much for this interview
Its not easy to understand oldest civilisation in the world which is INDIA..
We have system running for every economy class people …rich order from big basket and others from D-Mart and even further down we go to local grocery store by the streets. this is the way every one can servive in INDIA…This system is only in India 😅😅 Not Like others only set of options…
💯
It’s very easy , there is nothing to deep especially in cultural aspect , and I don’t understand why people have left this oldest civilisation for the new one in west 😅
I was born and raised in India until 25 and completed 25 years this year in US, turning 50years old this year. I realized that material wealth and comfort will not fulfil a human being. India's greatest wealth is our spirituality. One cannot find it with research or discussions. It can only be experienced....
How do you live in India as a westerner? Do you leave every 6 months to renew the visa? I’m not a business owner just an older woman who loves India after travelling there twice so far. I want to live in India, not Australia.
Happy to see such videos... You guys are talking "With" India and not "To" india mindset. !! We appreciate it.
India puts their ego in its place !! That’s the reason India is a place of enlightenment, spirituality’! 🇮🇳🇮🇳🕉️🕉️🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
I❤ India.
Ego is not right word dear... self respect instead
@@nooran678 I think you didn’t understand my statement properly!! - Their ego means ( westerners who come to India with an attitude that India is poor, third world developing country .. these kind of mindset )
Vedic wisdom has helped me to understand that it’s one’s ego that I find myself in this place at all.
24:49 Movies: Jalsaghar (search, satyajit ray jalsaghar), Shakti (search shakti amitabh), Angamaly Diaries movie, Company hindi movie.
Have seen foreigners live in India always appreciate, never complain.
You must be blind or deaf then, because anyone who has visited India will tell you that when the plane door opens, you get a very foul smell in the air. South Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) are the only countries in the world that are like that.
Thanks for giving heads up for regional movie industries.
Very knowledgeable man. Great interview 👍🏻
This guy spoke really well and knows more about Indians than many Indians.
I will recommend few more really classic but modern films to watch.
1. Kantara - kannada film
2. Deiva thirumagal - tamil film
Old movies:
3. Shankarabharanam - telugu film
4. Samskara - kannada
5. Chomana dudi - kannada
Kantara is a Masterpiece!!!

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in USA, do as the USA does. Then naturally when in India, do as the Indians do. Why is it so difficult to understand?
Because westerners don’t want to defecate in the streets and worship cows.
We know our roots and we are proud of that we are from oldest civilization and we will preserve our roots in every manner❤
Please explain, why do westerners expect lndian to change to accommodate their expectations, we are lndians ,with our very own culture, tradition, religion, language, food .This is lndia ,not America or UK or Europe .you need to change when you come here not us,sick of westerners having an ego ,just because you are American.
Because India’s way of living life is extremely unsanitary, as simple as that. Westerners are not expecting the people of India to change their language, culture or traditions, they are only asking them to adopt the culture of basic hygiene, which is almost impossible to find in India.
@@TheOnlyTruthTalkerthe average indian has a bath every day and washes his tush with water and washes his hands several times a day particularly before food.frankly feel turned off by people who use waste paper to clean their bums and then stick out their palms to shake hands ..Sorry we are way more hygienic in personal matters than average western dude's
@TheOnlyTruthTalker True. Cannot be explained more better way. It's straight that we Indians don't want to make a change on streets.
@@TheOnlyTruthTalker Are you indian ? if yes then you have some personal agenda with your country. if not , you have yet to know the vast india. Not everything is unhygienic. In a country of 1.4 B it is obvious not everything will be hygenic being a developing country where avg per capita income is around 3200 USD. Have some sense. Otherwise come to my house , or my city i can change your opinion that every place in india is unhygienic.
every place has its negative image. US does its own. Their gun culture , They lecture every developing country about human rights. Whats going on in university in US against students? They are silent now. It is not a wise decision to throw a rock on others house when your own house is made up of glass.In India there is many unhygienic places. But All the india is unhygienic, this is a myth that western media spreads. And people take that as they settled world order before. as simple as that. When you have money , you have power. But this is not the way modern world works. People know everything what all are doing.I respect US what they have done in scientific studies.But that does not mean they have right to poke every developing country's internal matter. Let alone iraq , afghanistan, vietnam ,myanmar genocides that have done. It will not be accepted at all in modern world.

I really appreciate your interviews. I've lived in the US for many years, but have come to realize what connects me to my roots is my love for the country's music. I believe that you cannot be truly Indian until you appreciate India's traditional and commercial music.
Satyajit Ray was one of the greatest directors from India.
Shakti was an all time classic and very underrated movie from the early 80s. Amitabh in his Prime with Dilip Kumar , another incredible actor. I cant really relate to modern Indian commercial cinema.
We indian and we really don't care what you think about india. We lived here and we know how beautiful it is but we indian have one more quality that we really want to know that what is good and bad side of us. We really try to improve ourselves from good to better and then best.
Most of the Americans don't know what is going on beyond United states
Why would I want to know what’s going on in your shit 3rd world country?

They put western tag into a spiritual place and call it dirty
India could still use some cleanliness.. ive been to a few countries and the only thing that actually bothers me so much is that local shops have zero concept of being clean and keeping your surroundings clean. If we lock that up then it would be a huge difference
@@alanthampi4718 yes you are right. That puts a bad image for tourist
Jeff speaks so positively, and sincerely. Thanks Max and Jeff for this interview 🙏
Very valid point about expensive is starting to take over and cool is being pushed out. Such a sad reality.
Things are getting expensive as everywhere else but the cool is definitely not getting pushed away as he claims in this video
8:35 This guy actually gets it. The lack of safety net is the real danger in India. And that produces insecurity which makes people not take risks or do any innovative stuff that can cause loss of money. That defines our culture. I earn lakhs, I have paid lakhs of rupees in taxes but if I get fired or laid off tomorrow, I don't get any support from the government.
I don't think even 1 out of 1000 people watching this video require the subtitles. Instead of forcing them on the screen, why don't you put them in cc so that they are optional.
This video is targeted towards Indians. It makes sense to add Hindi subtitles on the go. Especially having the national language up has its perks. Not everyone can understand English or it's many accents you know?

Don't want to stir up a fight here but this exact behaviour of Americans is displayed by Delhi-Gurgaon-Noida etc people when they go anywhere else in the country.
They are most falsely arrogant, cringe and foolish people.
Totally 😂😂
@@bhupeshkumar2537I am from NE but have lived in Delhi since I was a child and yes they do behave like that lol, mostly these jaats.
@@sahiltamuli1753 After few years these casteist jaats will be selling tea they don't study
True
An intelligent and empathetic foreigner in India! Keep it up!😊

Your channel is amazing, but this video is awesome because the way he described everything is honest and in a way pronounced so well. So happy you made this content ! Much love Ahmedabad!
The main problem with west specially with US is now a days they r interfering with our culture too much.
They certainly dont want to understand that their culture or their democracy or their way of life is much much different than ours. They judge indians with their biased lens that suits them. Specially US influence. US dont want to listen our perspective. Many org , Many media is controlled by them, We now a days know everything how US monopolies world. We are a diff democracy, The largest in the world. We certainly have different values and ethics. Dont know why US want to pressure us , We dont want to carry our things just like you want to do in your country. US deep state should know this.
We have no problem with any country in the world except the chinese govt officials for some reasons. But they way US and his allies are behaving with india , will not be good for the overall good for the world. We want to grow with the system of our own. US and its allies should respect that being fellow democracy.
No one interferes with India, a sovereign country. How they interfere
Then you dont follow the media. whats happening. go to google and search US remarks on "kejriwal arrest". This is an internal matter of india.
Well said
Having lived in France for 16 years and now living in Pune - india, I am able to understand your guests a lot more, because my feelings are the same.
However things change drastically from city to city.
Pune is a different scenario. 😅
As an American, I would never have such a self centered viewpoint. What he describes in the beginning of the video is disgusting to me. Please don’t generalize based on his opinion
he was speaking about American administrations foreign policy since end of WW2 , not the viewpoint of ordinary americans . Many nations bend before american agenda except few countries and india is one of them
@@evilandrew1097yup, the reason we are one of the few countries to have nuclear power.
He didnt talk about all Americans.
as an american, there are many americans who are not like he describe, but they are still the minority.
lol - everyone knows everything about america since you are such exhibitionists.
Sir, salute to you for presenting exact realities of every corner of our country.
Lots of love and regards !!
Come to Gujarat you will feel heaven
Sensible man I ever witnessed, respect the locals wherever he lives, whether france or India or Germany! Never seen such a good understanding ! Loved and amazed his understanding of life!

Point of Family, spot on, yes .. Indians are very open about Family.. that is one of the ways we immediately understand of what subjects of conversation would be appropriate with the said person...
Most times 2 Indians meet it's like two families discover each other.. most often those families will meet each other or speak on phone.. that's one section of Indian social fabric which wants to be entangled rather than be unique.. this is the result of colonial rule ending.. we have made it almost impossible for anyone to now divide or categorise us.
I think this channel has too many Indian people; that's why the owner of the channel has been focusing on Indian content lately!
Which is good, because it's good to get a different perspective about you from others. Many, if not all, Indians are curious people. They want to know about others and about themselves from others. Also, you need to know that India is now the most populated country, so the chances of finding Indians on popular youtube content will be high, whether it's about India or not.
I am German and living in Thailand.
Usually only Europeans goes to South Asia , Americans goes to eastern europe ans Philippines for obvious reasons @@AlfredHimmelweiss
1.5 billion viewers who by and large understand English. Yes content will be catered to that market.
@@RahilSethi Indians are just desperate for global validation. There’s very few things that are good in India, therefore Indians are very eager to see their country being painted in a good light by westerners.
