1) Traditional Outfits: There are plenty traditional outfits in India based on every state and the culture, I did mention that but it didn't make it into the video. We have male and female clothing with the similar base and structures in each state that has evolved from simple garments like kaupina, langota, achkan, lungi, sari and more. Similarly with traditional Indian jewelry we have 36 well known types and more. 2) India being close to Mongolia: India is relatively closer to China and Mongolia than Korea, Japan and other East Asian or South East Asian Countries 3) Skin Tones: I dont mean to generalize any region or the population, but statistically speaking people living closer to the tropic of cancer or regions that get more sun have higher melanin count based on genetics, obviously every region has different skin tones but also there's alot of interstate migration and interstate marriages, culturally mixed Indians within India itself which is why we have so many skin tones which I find lovley. However if you go towards the northern tips the majority population can be lighter due to the climate and living conditions, similarly towards the south because of the sun it may get darker. So that's why my answer is explained to include the majority to give an understanding 4) Trees and Alovera: I thought they asked me about palm trees which is why I mentioned that there's more in the south than the north due to the weather conditions, if I knew it was alovera I'd have said you can find it every where and we incorporate it in our skincare, health care due to natural properties 5) Not hating on the cast: Lets not hate on the cast of the video, they are from a different age and there is a generation gap when it comes to understanding India and Indian culture. Most of these ideas and thoughts are conformed by news, media outlets and numerous stereotypes about India which is why it is our job to educate society about contemporary India. 6) Namaste as a greeting: Namaste is an expression of appreciation and respect towards another person, entity or deity. It can be used as a hello greeting and even as a goodbye, so you might say Namaste upon meeting someone, or before parting ways 7) Jai Ho being used: I agree that Jai Ho is not a Bollywood movie, therefore the song shouldn't have been used. However this post is to clear misconceptions therefore for the foreigners reading this, Jai Ho is from a Hollywood movie Slum Dog Millionaire based in India. However in a sense the Indian version can be considered Bollywood because it is sung by Indian artists A.R. Rahman, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Vijay Prakash, Sukhwinder Singh and Tanvi Shah. 8)National Anthem: I'm sorry that the national Anthem was sped up and cut off abruptly due to the timing issue. However I do agree that it can come off as disrespectful. Therefore sorry about that 9) Me being an NRI, North Indian, etc.: My name is Yukta Tyagi, I'm from Mumbai, Maharashtra. I have also lived in the city of pune for a long time. I have lived in India most of my life. When it comes to understanding cultures, I have a strong understanding of Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, UP, Gujarati, Rajasthani cultures. Simply cause I was born and brought up in Maharashtra, I can speak Marathi and understand it. I also am well aware about the traditions and festivals. Next my mom is Bengali so she made sure to educate me about Bengali traditions, my mother tongue, festivals and the food. My grandmother is Punjabi and she made sure to educate me about the state of Punjab, I understand the language even though I dont speak it. My father is from Ghaziabad,UP and I understand Bhaiya traditions through him and speak hindi thanks to that. My close friends are from Gujarat, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Therefore even though I dont speak the languages I have taken part in their cultural events, traditions and food so that I understand them better and the differences or diversity in India itself. As a person I cannot physically speak all the official 22 languages or 1000+ dialects, I can't come from each and every state but I can try my best to promote a contemporary view of our country and society, the values, traditions and state practices. When it comes to religion my dad is hindu, mom is Christian. I have a deep understanding of both religions along with Islam as well because alot of research goes into what I say online. Plus my major is International Student and Culture Design Management. I do my best to keep my memories about Indian history fresh along with changes coming up in our society. I am still learning everyday in my 22 Years of life but I don't think it matters if I am from the south or the north as long as I don't spread any misinformation regarding my country and its diversity. Just because I live in Korea now and would be considered an NRI, doesn't mean I am out of touch with my roots and my culture. I make sure to keep up with the news, happening in the country, Bollywood movies and songs, etc. to make sure I'm well informed because I know that I am representing my country correctly. I can't make all of you agree with me or like me but all I want is for you to know is that I'm trying my best to stay well informed and separate contemporary India from the stereotypes. Therefore maybe I'm not the representative you all want but I truly am trying my best and will keep on doing so without discriminating in respect to the southern, northern, western, Eastern or north eastern parts of India as when I leave my country I'm not Maharashtran or a Mumbaikar. I am an Indian. I hope this comment clears any doubts.
@THE ZOLDICS naah for me its respect if i meeta korean the very first thing i'll do is say "anneyonghaseyo" and in itself it means that i honour that person's culture even the smallest actions command big respect in the same way if that person said namste i being an indian felt happy knowing he knows the method of greeting in our culture
India is like Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Africa etc all put together and made into country by the British..

@@yuktatyagiofficial India is like Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Africa etc all put together and made into country by the British. Why doesn't India present its reality within the country and to outsiders that India is a multinational, multiethnic, multilingual, multicultural, multiracial, multireligious subcontinent made of many totally different nations into 1 country? Its just the truth.
@@breezeanonymous6034 India was never split into different nations. Every Indian in ancient times was aware that Bharat (Actual and original name of the Indian subcontinent) though ruled by different rulers in different regions, was one nation. The nation of Bharat starts from Himalayas to the Indian Ocean and included Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and some part of Tibet also as per our history and Hindu scriptures. Yes the kingdoms of India used to fight and conquer each other, but the spirit of Hinduism has always kept us all together. And also, much of Bharat was united many times across history by really powerful rulers like Ashoka, Samrat Vikramaditya, etc.
@@riasingh2027 That is fake history created after British created India, even your neighboring countries don't believe it. Not to mention, dozens of nations out of British India are forcefully kept in your country and constantly fighting to get out. Interestingly, that fake 'ancient India's borders are same as India created by British trading company. 😄😄😄😄 Even your borders are named after British officials.
She made things awkward, by saying "Indians sing national anthem before movies", lol I bet she consumed nonsense propaganda from rNDTV to get that news.

and m i surprised that she totally ignored the Northeast part of india. 🤣 this is india where northeast indians are totally ignored but we are only remembered during Olympic or big sports events. thanks india thank u for treating us like a foreigners.
People stop being so picky with her. She's doing her best to represent. She's a human being not an encyclopaedia. Much love to you Yukta from Mumbai, India. ❤❤❤❤❤
@@TilikaVispute some people born with negativity you can't change them Most of the comment is positive and that's it you should also ignore them in your life
@@aamorinox7770 I know darling .. but I felt really bad for Yutka and didn’t want to see her spirit be dulled. If one comment of ours can make her happy and plant the seeds of positivity in the lives of even negative people that were commenting then why not ☺️🌸👼🏻💕 I appreciate your concern though ✨
The young man melted my heart. Naturally, he knew way better than the oldies, and he was very courteous yet progressive in personality. He and Yukta vibed so well together
as an indian this makes me so happy. i've rarely seen people of my nationality in media and stuff but whenever i do it makes me really happy. i'm from punjab so i don't speak hindi, but the fact that i could understand a few words at least made me cry. she's so beautiful and sweet too! :)
It was lovely to see Yukta 🇮🇳 again! She was on World Friends a while ago now. She's very cute and intelligent! Those other people are so sweet, too! Especially the little girl! Loved the discussions they all had and were interested to learn a little bit about her and India! Great episode!
She really is so stunning and her voice is beautiful and relaxing to listen to! I loved seeing everyone learning about a new culture, India sounds lovely, I’ll have to visit someday :)
If you ever do, Make sure you directly land in one of the southern states/ OR the states above Delhi (pretty mountanains and landscapes) and don't go to Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

@@memefunny69123 yeah i agree that NE part of India has been neglected for so long and i also know how discriminatory people are against them. As for me, i will always stand in support for NE population, coz i know their struggles and also how they suffer at the hands of this system. One of my brother in law is from Dimapur, three of my very close friends are from NE(two from Nagaland and one from Manipur) and we all have adulted together and stood for each other for all of each others highs and lows, so i understand where you are coming from. But please understand this, this video has been shot in Korea and she herself was a guest for the channel, she tried to represent India with the best possible resources(attire)she herself had, which also seems typical. Even while explaining, she generalised and explained to them in simple terms so that they get an idea of the diversity here, since the video was short with limited interactions with everyone. It wouldn't have been possible to explain in detail each and every part and culture of India to those who perhaps were meeting an Indian for the first time in their lives. I just feel, she did the best with what she could i feel, even mostly the indian food available in Korea are naan and butter chicken which of course isn't what the whole of India eats. So please consider and think about it. This channel is also a Korean channel and they did try their best, i guess.
The boy literally knew so much as a Korean 😅 The girl was so adorable The grandmother didn't hesitated to ask further about her country ❤ While the grandpa was hearing like it is a BTS song for me😂 Pand lastly Yukta , never disappointed us😊 Love it❤❤❤
I like how she mentioned the fact that we play the national anthem before watching a movie (in the cinema's) many people don't mention it but I find it an interesting fact considering many countries don't do it. Also the little kid is literally so adorable.
As an American from NYC it's so crazy to me seeing people from other countries who can't guess from language/clothes/appearance. Since NYC has literally every culture, I'm pretty familiar with a lot, so it's weird to imagine living your whole life with minimal to no exposure to other cultures.
not too surprising considering America (and other former british colonies) are heavily built on immigration, so multiculturalism is seen as the norm. Korea has very low immigration and even then those who migrate tend to live in Seoul .
There are people with dark skin tone as well as light skin tone in Southern part of India. In India there are people with lighter and darker skin tone regardless the place they're living at :)
Fr you right there are many lighter skin people here in tamil nadu but also people with dark tone too so we can't usually say this part has lighter skin tone people accurately I've seen many dark skinned people in the north too tbh idk why I got offended when she said that lol 🤣
Ikr! I'm from South and many people around me and including me... We are light toned skin and I also see people with darker skin tone(even my mum is darker skin toned and she is also from South India) and in North I've seen people with various skin tone.. it's so funny when they generalise it...
I dont mean to generalize any region or the population, but statistically speaking people living closer to the tropic of cancer or regions that get more sun have higher melanin count based on genetics, obviously every region has different skin tones but also there's alot of interstate migration and interstate marriages, culturally mixed Indians within India itself which is why we have so many skin tones which I find lovley.

I was quite surprised that she knew how to speak Korean, but I’m saying this in a positive way, its pretty impressive! And she’s so pretty, Mashallah. I also love how the Koreans try to learn more about Indian culture. I am not Indian, I am Bangladeshi but I love the way she represented her country in Korean so the people don’t have trouble communicating with her😁💕
I heard that India is such a big country that language, race, and culture are different by region. Which city in India is the Indian beauty in today's video from? And is the language she spoke in the video Hindi? P.S.→Let me add one more question. Which country do Indians prefer, United Kingdom🇬🇧 or France🇫🇷? I heard that France helped the Sikh Empire, who resisted the British Empire to the end in the Indian Subcontinent.
@@Latteeft.05 Thank you for your answer. 🤗 Do you live in Chennai or Puducherry by any chance? I know that Southern India mainly speaks Tamil, which is very similar to Korean.
@@John_Horace_Kim Not really. South India consists of many states, cultures, and languages. Tamil is spoken mostly in Tamil Nadu, and some borders of Kerala. Malayalam is spoke in kerala. Kannada is spoken in Karnataka, and Telugu is spoken in Andhra and Telangana. These are few south Indian states
@@r7anubis758 Thank you for your kind and detailed reply. 🙏 I heard that Hindi is mainly used in Northern India, but does Hindi also work in Southern India? Is it better to use English than Hindi in Southern India? I heard that Southern India's economic condition is better than Northern India's because of the great development of Southern India's IT industry.
@@John_Horace_Kim yes tamil is one of the language from India ... Other than that there's many moree languages spokes in various peoples from different cultutes , states etc... I am a Malayali ..malayalm is a well spoken language in kerala ..which is a state from india
Representing arguably the most diverse country in terms of geography, religions, languages, cultures, wildlife ! A trial by fire haha ! Yukta clearly did a tremendous job.
Her presence is so calming. She is the best representation of an Indian girl (at least that is how I idealize my future wife to be like). Best wishes for her.
these videos of "koreans react to foreigners" are so weird... totally targeted at koreaboos who put koreans on a super high pedestal and seek validation from them and wanna hear random korean people compliment someone who kinda looks like them lmao... this would be considered so weird if it was any other country "german grandma reacts to brazilian girl!" like wtf
and m i surprised that she totally ignored the Northeast part of india. 🤣 this is india where northeast indians are totally ignored but we are only remembered during Olympic or big sports events. thanks india thank u for treating us like a foreigners.
@@memefunny69123 ohhh shit this is really wrong thinking of you guys It's not true yr.... Definitely you are part of India and we really appreciate you guys , do you know what I really admire people from north east of India A lot of things I wanna say but I think I should make it short Please don't think that other part of India think you as foreigners Please don't I just don't know why who the hell is spreading this nonsense that you are foreigners . You are part of India and definitely you are Indians as well ❤️
Such a beautiful one on one interaction. So heartfelt and genuine . Yukta you spoke with confidence. I wish they had directly finished the shot with last 4 lines of Jana Gana Mana rather than fast forwarding.
Indian northeast people's look are different from other states of India And are similar to Chinese ,Korean Japanese etc most of the people are unaware of this fact
Ohh nooo they did not put "jai ho" as Indian songs 😂 that's so stereotypical 😂 also did you guys just found the clip of Indian taking dip in ganga seriously guys there's lot to india other than these stereotypes 😅 but it was a fun video always love to see yukta and wow she was looking gorgeous
Well people just like to portray stereotypical things because negative things get views easily 😩 they choose to portray pictures taking bath but also many foreigners take bath also this is my first time seeing people taking bath naked being from uttrakhand I never saw a naked person taking bath here I don't even know from where they get these videos also there are many beautiful waterfall and reserved area such as valley of flowers Himalayas they never portray them rather show poor image of india I don't appreciate it!!
until last year ...Jai Ho was a widely recognized Indian song...And it is an Indian song composed, Sung and written by Indian artists - AR Rahman Sukhwinder Singh and Gulzar, respectively. Don't undervalue their contribution just because it was part of Hollywood film. Jai Ho will always be an Indian song. Being part of Hollywood film won't change that
Why is nobody mentioning the Boy!!!, Like he was according to me, quite pleasant and respectful. The way he talked.. I am not being a simp or something.
The young man has nice literature about India or maybe about global things. Good job, my bro! Definitely, it's such a good impact about modernity era with gadget in our life.
Traditional Indian clothing (especially women’s) is amazing. My sisters childhood friend had Indian parents and I always admired the amazing colors and fabrics her mother wore.
The way that young guy Shakes hands with her is a way of showing respect in India. We also do that when we serve food to our guests, or take something from them.
Please try to bring a person from northeast part of india too,would luv to see their reactions.Cause they share some similar facial features from east Asians.
It's help to know other countries,As I had see korean they never know much about india some know but all are negetive about india because of there media show and have many stereotypes
See there is diversity in India so you'll see people with different skin colour. Why foreigners stereotypes us with only darker skin is beyond my imagination. As if they have set a bar😢
And also I don't agree with Yukta when she meant north people are light and south are dark skinned.. I've seen all the skin tone types in every part of India 😅
But she said the correct reason. South India is a tropical region, though I'm from South and I'm super fair skinned, I too get embarrassed of this. Infact, she is from Maharashtra which lies in South geographically, but she is fair skinned.
India is so diverse that people in different States(Territories) speaks different Language, Because of this reason there is no language identified as an Indian National Language( only official languages). With different language we have different culture as well.☺
This video was really interesting to watch in an Indians perspective (bc I am). The only thing that I am a bit triggered on is the way where she speaks about the skin tone of different regions of india, I’m not saying that it is wrong in any way but I want more people to be educated that some people and more than you realise in the southern part of India do not particularly have darker skin. I am from south India and I typically don’t class myself to have darker skin so I think it should not be a stereotype to say that the southern regions of India have darker skin. Other than that I enjoyed the video lol
@@reyreystars1225 thats true tho, sunlight causes the skin produces more melanin hence darker skin(it's not true all the time but one of the main reasons)
Skin tone is mixed in all areas, some have lighter tone and some have darker tone. All varying degrees..probably depending upon the gene pool. .in any state!
