I don't how he managed to find such nice kids to show him around.
Good job Peter.
People there are generally nice. They are not always friendly mostly because people focus on their poverty rather than their industriousness
It all came together because of the good karma he holds life is very spiritual if you once know own peace.
I’m sure and would hope he offered to compensate them (much more than they’re used to receiving) for helping him.
They're simply doing a job; tourist guides can be paid even if they're kids.
@@pearlgross5329 very nice guys so friendly a strong hug to all people
In india you will never have language barrier people will connect you with heart .. love from india . 🇮🇳
Lots of love from Pakistan
I believe its mostly because they were once ruled by the UK
Goa 💓
@@pearlgross5329 maybe it's because they're such amazing people
@@pearlgross5329 the only queen who wear stolen jwellery 😂😂😂✌️
They are so hardworking and dedicated towards their jobs, not matter what job they're doing. You can see the energy and dedication on their faces.
Respect from Pakistan♥️
Bro if our govt understand each other than India and Pakistan can be really peaceful and can grow together easily. But if they do so how they will divide us on the basis of religion and take vote from us. That's the reason behind this all war and hatred. If our people can understand it than it would be a better place but Idk when they will open their eyes on their own. BTW love From India.
They were messing with him lol
Beautiful people are everywhere. Thank you Peter.
If everyone was like Peter the world would be a peaceful place
This guy is the only Traveler i've seen on UA-cam who doesn't stay in Tourist Tracks! A True Adventurer!
Try Bald & Bankrupt for this but with him also speaking the local language
Indigo Traveller is also pretty cool, although I prefer the way Peter communicates.
they are many of them, watch edges of earth if you are interested in india/asia
Also harald baldr or karl rock
@@ZenzeroCAMThey are all good in their own ways
I'm impressed to see how both hindus and Muslims are living in Harmony. What they actually show us in media is just fuming flames between nations. Stay united. India is a beautiful country. Love from Australia ❤️
U r Indian
Agreed 👏
@@souu__. He not Indian,look at his name hehe...
Hey Aaron, you’re beautiful! You should visit NYC one day!
It's the politicians that drive the religious wedge....them and those that are unable to introspect
Those guys are wonderful! I've visited Kochi and Goa in India. I noticed young people are so polite, take studies seriously, they also speak good english and seems to be so mature. Love and respect from Brasil.
Western 'alpha male' influence is making Indian kids rude these days.
That’s because Kochi is in Kerala and Kerala is one of the most literate states in the country.
@@freespeech824no man kids takes study seriously
Goa and Kerala are the most developed indian states. Its like going to Massachusets and New York and thinking this is how the average USA looks like
i loved this boy with the red shirt, he was so helpful him and his friends, and they were explaining everything! did they volunteer to guide you for free or did they ask something at a price?
Yeah, such cool guys. They volunteered.
@@PeterSantenello even volunteered I hope you gave them something
I was wondering if you have them money . They usually think they will get paid something. And they should, IMO.
@@FunkaliciousFeline no they didnt want money actually kids thought he was making film about bad side of the place , so they gave their full efforts volunteer trying to show the good side of that place.
I still hope they got some money. Im sure the could really use it towards something good. They are good kids.
Wow, good wishes to Joy( who is so eloquent in explaining), Sahil, and all the others in Dharvi who are so confident/working/ living in peace/in happiness etc. and are not scammers or begging though have very very little/meagerly resources....
Love from Pakistan
Peshawar.
I love this. I am 72 years old now. Back in the early seventies I lived in South India for 4 years with a family in a small village. Today I still refer to them as my family and have been back many times to visit. I love India and the people dearly.
Where in South? Were you part of hippie generation to travel to India overland?
@@RaviRJoshi Of course he was. Granpa has smoked alot of ganjah indica
I think it's called cannibis satva
The last wordings from "Joy" teared me up....cause that's what foreingers do when they go to developing countries showing dirt, calling locals filthy ..as if it's their choice to live like that.
Dharavi is so much more there's lot of small budding business going man!!! ..loved every bit of it❤️❤️
Much love to u ..brother
Local people can't help poverty....I agree, but they could clean and tidy, because it does not cost anything, and there is garbage all over, it is soo disappointing, how can they live like this?
@@englisheasy3379 oh shut up you clown
@@thatindiandude4602 wdym, they're right
@@englisheasy3379 There are no bins for the rubbish because there is not enough state money and tax infrastructure to fund public services.
@@englisheasy3379 says the guy who prolly lived comfortably
I absolutely love how proud they are of their community.
I envy the friendliness of India. I love the smiles and joy. In America barely anyone says more than hi to passersby. Everyone I come in contact with is so busy. No fun no smiles no happiness. India is so joyful. Nobody is complaining. Nice job!
You know nothing about india then. Jesus f ing Christ. Enough with these propaganda BS
They smile and greet him like this coz he's a foreigner!😂😂😂😂 If he was a local it would be none of this
In most of Europe, if you even say 'hi' to a passerby they'd probably think you have mental health issues.
They are nice to foreigners , As they don’t have the money to see people from other nations, and Europeans are looked up as if they are god in India.
Very true. Indians àre very very very helpful and can be friendly whereas Westerners are self centred and suspiçious of friendly behaviour beçàuse of their personàl experiences with colleagues and neighbourhood.
it’s crazy and humbling seeing how others live. it was also so wholesome when he joy said you were actually interested in him and his home and not just there to display the negatives.
no false pretension, true life....true self...happy life...all in order...
Starting around 18:50, JOY said,
"But you are seeing how much specialness we have."
Wow. That really hit me. 😔
What an endearing comment.
So friendly and cool guys, Sahil and Joy! Greetings from Germany
During Corona virus, we thought dharavi will be worsely affected, but they had very fewer cases. They took care of themselves well and even the govt did good job.
I didn't see any actual mass deaths of COVID with anyone anywhere in the world
As you see, Dharavi’s population is relatively young and thin. They are not a high risk group for respiratory viruses.
Something tells me there wasn’t a lot of testing going on either which means less cases. I’m sure they had it like anywhere else, got sick for a few days and then went on with their lives, like we all should have done.
Very well documented (again), Peter, thank you. I was in Dharavi back in 2011, it made an impression I can never forget. I remember walking through the small alleys with (indeed) electricity all-over the place. I all of a sudden ended up on a huge trash-dump. There I stood, in the burning sun, just turned 21 years old, looking at hundreds of people searching for ''stuff''. Mosquitoes everywhere, horrible smell, etc. All of a sudden I saw three kids playing badminton. As I observed them from a distance I realized I started crying. My guide (Sunny, who lives in Dharavi) asked me: ''Why are you crying, Juriaan?''. I told him I didn't know. He told me: ''It's certainly not because you should feel sad for these kids''. I asked him why he was saying that, he said: ''Do they look unhappy to you? No, right? You just can't handle the contrast with your life at home.''. Will never forget this (very) special place.
I have seen a lot of your videos and this one is by far my favorite! I’ve always admired how welcoming and friendly the people of India are ❤
Great video.Nothing more universal than the handshake.Keep up with the good work....From Atlanta,Georgia USA.
Coronavirus on the loose. We might have to just wave hands or use wifi hand shake. Lol
Thanks John!
@@panda-xq1dy you can always Indian namaste!
What an amazing series. I have been watching/binging on them. You are SUPER brave! Thank you for these!
They still have the biggest smile even living in this conditions. Sometimes i forget how good i have it and i feel ashamed.
Well said.
Loved the way how JOY explains things to Peter. Conveyed everything on point.
Thanks for those vlogs.
There‘s little chance that I will travel to India or Saudi Arabia in my life but seeing the people living their daily lifes there and being hospitable is really heartwarming and cool
I loved the teens that were guides for Peter in Dharavi! They were so sweet
I’ve been to the slums of Mumbai, and I can say that the people there are so kind and generous. 🇺🇸❤️🇮🇳
A lot kinder and more welcoming than the rich areas, but thats pretty much a global phenomenon. The poor are almost always friendlier and more welcoming than the ultra rich
A little context for the pigeon competition, my dad told me when he was a child they used to raise them and train them remain in the air for as long as they can to build their endurance, and they used to have competitions where the bird that flies the longest before landing wins. I nice to see those same traditions are still alive after 50 years!
We used to have the same thing in the UK until quite recently. I guess it dates back to the times of carrier pigeons.
Thanks for explaining VK
Mike Tyson in the U.S. has always raised and trained pigeons too. He said it's considered animal cruelty to fly a bird more than 600 miles in a day. So interesting.
Worldwide slum rooftop tradition since forever
Love how he goes to every place with an open heart and is ready to see stories of diff people
What a great video! I lived in India for a year, and this video brought back many memories. The smells, the cooking, the industriousness, the sheer volume of people. India is a very unique place, and I hope people venture to visit more than only the tourist areas.
Of course, India has its challenges, and it isn't all lollipops and flowers; but in my experience no truly interesting place is.
This man is not only educational & a pleasure to watch but such a respectable soul . Thank you 🙏🏼 & bless u
Yet another adventure I never would have had without you Peter. Amazing
Appreciate how you just went in without a script/plan in head. Usually vloggers loop in a local influencer to get more refined insights, but man you went all in here! You naturally just found the right guys from ground zero and they showed you just the right things! Really inspiring how you are so open towards every experience. Keep up the excellent work! Hope to see you some day ! :)
I'm fascinated with India. A lot of personable and hardworking people. I really liked those two kids. Watching this, I felt like they were your little brothers. kinda wish the three of you continued together on your journey throughout India 😁
I was born in India, but am discovering my country through Peter's travels. Thank you, brother!
Great tour of Dharavi. You did a much better job than Bald and Baldr. You have a great way with the local kids. This is a small masterpiece. Those tight places are mind boggling. Now I'm definitely going to want to visit Dharavi when I'm in Mumbai.
@@govaert7 I didn't get that feeling at all from Harald's video. Just seemed like he was having fun. I enjoyed all three takes on the neighborhood. Having been there, it's easy to say you could have as many perspectives as there are residents.
When you visit mumbai contact me. I will give you a tour of dharavi. It will be my pleasure
Wear a mask with nice and hard perfume so that you can avoid all the smells , avoid eating there and take Atleast a bottle of water with you.
@@bulu9214 have u been there?
The guy in red shirt is so intelligent and cool. Respect from Pakistan
Found your channel today and I've been binge watching for past two hours. This video is easily the most interesting one I've seen so far.
Another fascinating video,the locals were really friendly and cool people.
I love India people they so kind ❤️❤️❤️
Again, u r so respectful. Wonderful video❤️🇨🇦
Mam I also live in this slum also
Wow this is nothing like what I thought it would be. Thank you for sharing
Your guides are sweet and u a cool dude 😂😂😂😂😂
Wooow Peter beautiful job loved it!!!!! You were so blessed with those young kids they were really sweet with you. Thank you so much. I love Dharavi and this beatiful place is not just about gargabe or durty homes..is about beautiful people working every single day. They live a simple life and that is enought. This is awesome!!!
Thanks, Norma! Yes, I was definitely fortunate to have met them.
Man so happy to just discover your channel you are putting out some INCREDIBLE content...just the types of places and all the nooks and crannies you explore is truly mind-blowing. This is better than anything I’ve seen on a traditional travel channel. Great job!
Wooowww every time I see places like those I feel so grateful that I have a little piece of land. Thank God
This needs to have 10M views. What a great video.
I’m happy to go wherever you take us along with your camera. Your wonderful welcoming spirit is what makes every video special.
Crazy.😲 my anxiety is hitting the roof.........Little boy showing his fashion. What a cutie.😊Thanks Peter for showing us the real India. The happy children, the slums like I've never seen.😊 My grandad did pigeon racing and was a pigeon Judge up in London.....lol not so different. My grandad and his brothers used to make leather shoes and saddles and satchels above their shops. So much in common.
I am live in Mumbai
Very intresting to see how to you interact with people and how you see the things, boys also telling truth about Dharavi, they are lots of things to see in there Dharavi,
.thank you for such a beautiful video
The best part you showed was that even though they are in slum ...most of them are still entrepreneurs..working and earning well as self employed.
Im from south india,i heard abt this place but never thought this congested,cool thanks for the video
What a _live_ nation!!! - And these videos are made on the fly, no need for a big TV-crew and expensive equipment! - And the natural, friendly local guys you're hanging out with, just perfect! - Jeeez, this makes me miss India even more! 💓 This is top notch, down to earth documentary Peter! नमस्ते 🙏 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
People are amazing no matter where you go!❤
I've seen a number of vlogs of the slums in different countries and I see one common denominator. HAPPINESS! Yup, all these people have smiles and wave, kids are playing having a grand ol' time. Concrete proof that all the toys and junk and responsibilities and keep up with the jones attitude does not make happiness. We could learn a thing or two from these people. I am from small town usa and am not condemning people that have a lot of stuff, but we tend to find happiness in buying new stuff (shopping) and husband and wife both working 50-70 hrs a week to keep up with all their stuff. A prison in itself. These people find happiness in friends , family and faith and it is enough.
They are happy because this is all they know! They dont have anything else to compare it to!
Beautifully spoken! Couldn't agree more. Greetings from the Netherlands!
@@roberts2514 so sad... Indians are not a poor and not a richer... But happiest people....because basically entertainer's , speech from soul, very innocents and cultural tradition...India is not a country it is collection of cultural countries..... North and south......
Its because they have very little to loose.
@@roberts2514 Go for it! You can move there at any time.....
I felt like I am right there. Great documentary !! You, Peter and your young tour guides did a great job. Love how people in India no matter what their destiny might be always smile with the warmest and sencere smiles and seems to be happy !!!
This was cool to see the different areas. You met some very friendly people, eager to show you daily life. Much appreciated! I've always wanted to visit India.
Peter, you are one brave guy! Thanks for showing the very human side of Dharavi. Beautiful, impressive and heroic people.
Thank you for showing the human side of friendly, entrepreneurial people in this video. Sahil's home is small but nice. Both he and Joy were so friendly and informative. Thank you all for a great video showing a different side to what is called a "slum" besides poverty and desperation.
Thanks for all these videos man, its beautiful to see all these parts of the world.
Makes one count their blessing. The beauty about the people of the slum is that they’re happy in what little they have. Beautiful clip.
i love your vlogs from Saudi Arabia ( Jeddah ) i watched every single vlog
Raghad Alsaedi اسلوبه مرا عسل
Beautiful work.. This story was INSANE!!!!!
Very incredible! That’s so awesome how he collected friends along the way!!
Indian people are so friendly❤ the most amazing thing is that the hindus and muslims live friendly together 🙏
Peter, what a fantastic insight into life in Dharavi. Thank you for sharing this.
I never seen so many people living in such smalll area. This guy is awesome. He is making us learn more about our country. This guy is making me step out of Bangalore and visit and learn about other places.
C'mon you mean you live in another big metro and have never made it to Mumbai?
Amazing video !
People are friendly and hardworking. Tons of love and respect from IRAN to INDIA
IR ❤❤❤ IN
Warm welcome to India. Persia was India's best trading partner for many centuries.
These boys are so sweet , at first they were concerned about you shooting the wrong the image of their neighborhood which is remarkable at this age , but then they told you how much they appreciate you filing all good and bad. Wonderful hardworking people lots of love from Pakistan and US.
Yes very few people appreciated it about what you have mentioned showing the other side, and it seems it means a lot to them.
That was a culture shock to watch on video. Some people were lame but the younger kids were super chill and savy.
I do appreciate how you didn't judge what you saw. You saw that people the world over are more alike than different. Thanks for showing us the humanity Peter
I wish more americans would watch this. They'd be damn happy to have what they have...
I love this. Those kids were so cool!!! It was so precious when he said people just go there to show the bad or ugly parts. If I lived in India thats where Id live. Ive been homeless my adult life.
I loved your comment.
Loved your video on Dharavi. Nice to know that all people of different types and religions lovingly coexisting with each other.
The bond and true friendship amongst these kids was just amazing to watch. Love 💓
I loved your Vlogs from Iran...
They were amazing!
The 2 little kids laughing around the 8:00 mark made me sooooo sooo happy to see big smiles
Loving the walk about’s, you need your own show, very uplifting during lockdown love and peace from Scotland. Stay safe out there ✊
Mam i also live in this slum also
You are being very nice and generous with those people and you’re not even trying to prove anything. And people will eventually notice that quality of yours just like Joy did. There’s a very thin line between actually being nice and pretending to be nice. Good work Peter. Lots of love to you brother 💖
love u from saudi Arabia 🇸🇦♥️👋🏻
@Persian Soldier we love u 2 Iranians people ♥️
@Persian Soldier all respect 🙏🏻
lots and lots of love and gratitude to saudi from india
But Saudis don't love us though. They only see us as infidels.
dheet son thank you my brother ♥️
One of the better India vids ive seen. Really captures a feel for everyday life here without any personal opinions on the matter.
Hey bro I born in Saudi Arabia and live my whole life there now iam living in India loved your both india and Saudi Arabia series
I hope you TIPPED them for their great service- fascinating behind the scenes of a famous Indian Slum that no one otherwise would have seen.
Hat off to these people,the guys are very fluent in English they guide you very well, if ever I meet them in mumbai,it will be + love from Mauritius,lage raho Daravi.
I like people who are so proud of their community. Those boys show the world that Dharabi is much more than just a crowded place. Thank you for this video, this is the side of a slum that I wanted to see. 😘💕🇵🇦
Love the Mumbai series man, Thumbs up from Lahore, Pakistan 👍
Me to
I used to travel through Dahravi every day on my way to work at Wadala when I worked in Mumbai. It seemed everyone was on some kind of mission. Very industrious. I also remember visiting the"worlds biggest laundry"
1:34
The same cap in saudi vlog 😂😂😂 lol he must like it soo much
Maybe He Is a Cultured Man 😂😂😂
Practical cap
It actually makes him look cool
It's Muslim hat.
It looks good on him.
Another beautiful video! It really seems like a community-oriented society, which is really amazing in a city of 21 million, to feel connected! Such beautiful, sincere boys.
Damn Kids are so interesting and Amazing 😍 love from 🇵🇰
Peter, I like how you get along with the Indian boys. I spent over a year in India, unforgettable experience.
This is like Jumanji. Every part of the city is on another level. Wow
Yes for me too even thought im indian😅
I really liked the attitude of the red shirt wearing boy Joy. He likes to show and promote the best side of Dharavi, the entrepreneurship, the grit and determination, and he feels sorry that all tourists and documentary makers showcase the poor side of Dharavi, the filth and dirt.
The apartment looked a lot nicer than i was expecting.
i love the way you are filming. you have no opinions. just letting the people talk and show u around. well done. going with the flow.
Shout out to Sahil and Joy's hospitality.
Incredible 🇮🇳India vibrant country with beautiful colors, nice good job
Really interesting to see you there, there is lot of population in that area because of that people are staying very tightly over there.
The boys are cool, hope you enjoyed the moment, for you maybe it was little bit abnormal, people know how to survive.
That was some cool footage and views there, wow. Thanks for sharing. I have visited Mumbai once, like 10 days, but i want to go back. I fell in love in India, awesome place to live, cool and friendly people and so so rich enviroment, always things happening.
it looks like you got the best guides as possible.
