They Love the N-word in India | GOLDEN TEMPLE 🇮🇳 

amazing video i wish i had seen your videos long time a go it's the fist time and a love it love from somalia 🥰🥰🥰

I am off Indian decent, I lived in England and now In Canada . I was born in the Carribbean . I have over time observed that East Indians have a terrible way of discreminating on dark coloured people. Its so sad they are like that. They worship whits skin people instead of appreciating people for who their characters are . I am so sorry this very well mannered young man havento go through this.

Actually Indians are not aware about the N word. I am a white German married to an Indian woman. When I first met my in laws they said something about the Austrian painter ( this might get them into a big trouble in the west ) but then I realised they had no clue as to what they are talking about. At first I thought they were racist towards me but later I realised that they had no clue what they were talking about.

I like how you handle it when someone says something offensive towards you, you don't immediately snap at them, your very calm and you educate them

When they are saying Negro, they mean its your race. They don't mean it in an offensive way. Just like they'd say White to a person of white race. They are saying it in a matter-of-fact way with no awareness that it might be offensive to you. Look at their body language. Different cultures can produce different perspective on things, what is prejudice in one culture many not be the same in another.

India really need to work a lot on civilizing its citizens. Country as whole is really full of garbage and slums but when you watch and listen to media, they completely lie. Honestly, i dont find India as tourist friendly country.

I enjoyed your visit to the Golden Temple. I went with my gf and her family whom I stayed with in the Punjab for 3 months. Ate strictly vegan the whole time. Dhal is my favorite with rice. Yes I could only eat one chapati with my vegetarian meal which was spicy. I requested carrot helva which my gf husband makes. He made it for me which took couple of hours to make from beginning to end. . A lot of work goes into making it from juicing and shredding the carrot which looks more orange than our pale carrots we get in Canada in the stores. The carrot helva is to die for. My gf mom in law made me paratha chipati every morning for breakfast which is chapati mixed with potato inside. I liked this better than plain chapati. I managed 2 paratha for breakfast and made my own instant coffee. They don't have coffee maker and drink chai instead. My favorite time was around 6 p.m. when they would light the chuwla, clay oven situated outdoor near kitchen in the courtyard. Everyone had them where I was. . Sticks of wood were continually added to make the chuwla hot enough to bake the chipatis on. I loved watching the chapatis being made and rolled by hand then placed on the fire to bake. Yes we were in the same place in the Golden Temple to eat as you were. Same crowded. The guy who hit your arm is acting like a Jaat. If you read the History of Punjab, the Sikhs have been through a lot of events. Some of the Punjabi men might act like macho but they are really not. Esp in their own homes, the wife is the boss. The rice pudding that was served still is my favorite. My gf mom in law made it for me and it went fast. I think all the Gurdwaras (Sikh Temples) have events where free food is served in same way as in Golden Temple Food is prepared in these huge cauldrons. I went to several. Watching your video sends me back to the wonderful memories I had of my stay there. Lovely Punjabi ppl. Sat shri akal ji.

you are truly stoic bro with the way some people in India treat you. Much respect.

Interesting during the years in India they never used the N word towards me mind you I'm a blk American. Do recall in Varanasi while walking down the road and passing some young guys they said " kala" ( black). This was back in the 90s. Many during that time didn't have the background think it was innocent...great video!!

i spoke to early when i said "i like the vibes here"

So sad to see how they adore white people as if they are angels. People are beautiful no matter how they look like. Greetings from Belgium. :)

that is soya bean ...and the thread u got in food is not from tuban , its from cloth used to cover flat bread(roti) , to keep them warm

Firstly, “Negro” isn’t a bad word or it is not considered a bad word, it is generally used in India to identify people generally from Africa, not in a racist sense.

As a Brazilian, I find this quite funny. Here we use that word quite a lot to refer to black people, it just means black, nothing more.

That guy at 17:30 was not acting cheeky as you mentioned in the video.He did not know how to speak proper English but he only wanted to know whether you are making youtube vlog and from where you were.He was in fact friendly.He did not hit you hard it is just how friends pat each other in Punjab and India.Every one of any caste,color,creed,race are welcome in Gurdwara ie Sikh temple.Since most of the comments below this video are from foreigners they might get a wrong impression of what you might have wrongly perceived.

I am punjabi and i heard first time N is bad word sorry if you hurt and one more thing in kitchen area he was not hitt you it's normal in punjab we do this with our friends .

Great Video Abdi, I hope to see many more to come

In india many people don't know that dark skinned people got offended by N word. And usually they use 'hapsi' word to describe afro-indian😅

Bro don't be mad he is not using that word as racist but i think he had listen that word online but he didn't know the that it can hurt someone but his friend is saying that he is our brother And you have watch that all are sit together on ground in langar hall this also represent equality among human race

the n word doesnt really have a negative connotation in India, its kind of what they scientifically call black people as kind of like how people use Caucasian.

You seem like a strong guy man, don't let bad minded or unknowing people "ruin your experience." Keep walking and smiling and be resilient, keep on presenting the beauty of the cultures you go out of your way to visit.

The people in the hotel were racist , but the guy in the temple just seemed to not know that it's a slur , for him it's ju just means a dark skinned foreigners

He didn’t have this experience in Bangladesh!

I never knew India was like this. Thank you for an amazing experience.

The N word in India is not known as bad word in general the word he used mostly used by People to identify Black's from Africa. But sadly i guess the credit goes to the British Rule and American pop culture that people got this word they have no ill intention to use as racist slur in India because 80% population of India is of Brown colour

Ppl in India actually have very little clue how bad the N word is and they should not call ppl with that but when they see in the movies they think it’s a cool word not knowing the meaning of it

What camera you using buddy ?

Normally Sikhs aren't racist or for the most part openly racist. There are ethnic peoples among the Punjabi people, and I have seen many shades of colors, features and backgrounds. And the guy called you Negro is clearly ignorant. He simply was describing you. So you have to decipher his energy, he I've seen a black Khalsa Sikh once in NYC, and clearly he didn't look black, but, looked Punjabi. He has thick long wavy hair, a big beard and wore a turban round. When he went to Punjab, he was welcomed with open arms and a shock! Definitely a cultural shock! The great majority embraced him due to their knowledge of the Khalsa Path. He was a brother. His presence caused many to take Amrit/baptism, and accept the teachings of the Sikh religion. So watching the video, you were accepted ,and embraced as I expected. They were amazingly curious about your presence more than negative. Nothing but smiles and warmth. Even the guy who tapped your shoulder was from being aggressive. Just continue to travel and stay positive. Stay safe.

Despite being offensive the term negro was the accepted way to speak about people of African heritage amongst Europeans unfortunately up until the civil rights movement in the US began to slowly change things.

After watching ur video … I asked my panjabi mom who is he by showing your picture… nd she really said ‘ni*ro’ …. She’s 55 year old sweet women who never hurts anyone but it’s not her fault calling you n word because people here think it’s a good word to use for black people. I think any word isn’t bad until you have bad intentions behind it. Still, I told my mom to never use that word but brother, all the people callin you n word didn’t mean to hurt you instead they don’t know the meaning behind it. Much love nd power to you 🙏

I love your vlogs and enjoyed every minute of it

Keep on keeping on brother no matter what the offensive situation you are in.

I am a black man who lived in a place called Southall in London with a very heavy Indian population. I have never suffered racism before to my face, Behind my back I'm sure but I didn't hear it. I was driving my car and a lady cut into my lane aggressively so I beeped horn. At traffic lights I waved my hands like what did you do she then said the N word and she was middle aged....

If they say the n word to describe you I don’t think it’s derogatory just describing. Just like how Somalia say “madow” to describe other African people. But if the Indian decides to get malicious then there’s a problem 👍

Zxp insha allah 1m baan kuu rajayn dadaalkaagu ma yara

I like how in the video you seem to understand he used that word out of ignorance and not hatred, yet you had to twist it for the chapter and video titles for views.

The way you're eating indian street food is...brave.

You are respected man don’t let others to change your behavior

Did the guy in the kitchen hit you as u walked away? I didn’t get it.

First of all, I apologize for the inconvenience u faced while you were here. The term 'N-word' is not recognized in the region; thus, they lack proper knowledge about it. Its use may stem from ignorance rather than hate, as the term has been propagated during British rule. Many individuals may be unaware of its offensive nature as defined in encyclopedias like Britannica, which states it refers to people of African descent. In a place of worship such as a gurudwara, the use of such a term would likely be avoided if its implications were understood. Additionally, in Indian culture, dark-skinned deities like 'Kali' or 'Maha Kaal' are revered, with their names signifying 'black' and representing powerful entities. And I don't think people here care about racism stuff but yeah, we use it for humor I literally have a friend that goes by the nickname "Kaalu" and so yeah, we call him and if you come to the South people with black color here are referred to as the blessed one's / closest to Sun god.

I mean, you're in an entirely different expecting them to understand the racial connotation behind the n-word.

When I was a lil kid I used to wish there was smell-e-vision. I am extremely thankful I can watch this one with out it 😂😂. They be RIPE denna biiiih here in the states. I build their homes. Your posts explain A LOT!!!! Cheers from Dallas, TX.

Somalis need an English speaking 🗣️ traveller! Well done 👍🏽✅ brother 👏🏽 Keep it up 🇸🇴

Bro you are a natural vlogger. I like your videos. You talk to the camera really well. you gained a subscriber from Ethiopia

The “langar” was a tradition started by Sufi saints in the Indian subcontinent where free food would be distributed to devotees/attendees. This is still practiced in many Sufi Shrines today, where a cooked meal will be served to all who come.

Love your videos I subscribed you ❤

He is not being racist on purpose, according to indains that word is just a word, its normal he isn't trying to make you feel out of place, think a little bro, you are in a religious site why would he want you to feel out of place and bad.

Good man so funny india people 😂😊

While I don’t use the N word , however most people in Asia don’t know what the N word is and don’t know how the Africans were treated in the Americas. So for them is not negative. Even native Americans, they call them Red Indians . This is what the socialist media used to use as vocabulary. However now with the internet that’s slowly changing.

Dude, it's not well known in India that the N word (actually, this is not the real N word, anyway) is offensive. Even up until the 60's Blacks in the US were called that.

That person didnot hit you. He was being friendly and wanted to know if you were a youtuber. You have to chill a bit.

THey are simply not aware that the N word is forbidden, they simply think it means someone from Africa to them. You are gracious to know/forgive them. Don't think its meant with any malice or disrespect

South Indians also say it too. My wife is from Bangalore but she isn't racist. It's the word Indians genuinely use to distinguish the Afro Caribbean ethnicity group. They don't have the knowledge of the western culture and ways sir and from what I can see is that the man who called you that simply asked you with a smile on his face because he was genuinely happy to greet you and meet you with love. You are really taking the Indian people the wrong way. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the 1st Guru was the one who opposed to racism. He said there is no Muslim, no Hindu, we are all one. Sikh's recognise the human race as one. The Sikh's carry the Kirpan sword as a saint warrior to defend the oppressed not only for their own people but even for others such as Hindus when they were oppressed. In fact, the 9th Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji sacrificed his head to save the Hindu's. The Sikh's are very selfless and are very giving to all. I wish you peace to be restored in your heart and not to see it as hatred as they are not familiar with western racial terms. Erase your heavy heart with this misunderstanding. I can see that you are a good person and I know that you are not being slanderous to the North Indians as you are simply misunderstood and this misunderstanding is unnecessarily hurting you. It's simply a descriptive terms for a race in India, North and South. I have also seen in Punjab the swastika drawn and painted everywhere and on shops but the meaning isn't racist because the swastika symbol with the dots added was a symbol of peace before Hitler came but then the Nazis altered the symbol slightly and the meaning. I genuinely think India are still stuck on old terms, symbols and definitions which wasn't racist back then and are not up to date with how the west view such words now. Most people I saw love you there brother. It's sad to see you feel this way. My family roots are Sikh's and from Punjab. I am in England though so I know not to call you that but a lot of my family in India would describe you that way and think it's ok and probably use that word thinking it's polite and using the word black, they would probably think that is racist. It's simply a geographical difference of understanding with zero harm in it. The ironic thing is you wouldn't see a black man complain of another black man calling each other that. But that's a whole other subject entirely. Peace and love prospers. Don't live your life with such a heavy heart. You'll be more happier and enjoy your life experiences even more by accepting difference rather than judging difference. Peace and blessings to you. If I have offended you then I am sorry but I tried to be honest and as humble as possible and I enjoyed your content and hopefully you won't take such things to heart in the future brother. 🙏🏽 Much love ❤

Guys remember no matter what the word means in India Abdi is not from India therefore him being offended is warranted. The word is still the exact word that has been used as verbal abuse against him for his whole life in other countries. To the people educating that the word isn’t used as offence i understand but to the people blaming Abdi for getting offended have a little common decency and understanding on your part as well.

You are a celebrity there. I have not seen that much of photo requests at the temple in other RU-vid videos. People are quite inquisitive and curious today. But hey I have been to Aussie and NZ. Nobody cares where you come from etc at least they are giving you some attention. N word is totally due to their ignorance. You can understand the village life. I have had a few ignorant comments in the country side overseas too. But I have seen so many Africans use that word for John Abraham, Amir Khan and Ram Charan on RU-vid too. So that seems very strange.

This is sad because alot of somalian do not want to be identified as black but when they travel other groups of ppl will remind them of their blackness.

I enjoyed Watching your vlogs from Kenya 🇰🇪 Mombasa city keep going walaal 🔔 is on always

Just Curious, how tall is your tall friend?

6:46 They just wanted to pose with you to take a picture with the sign so they can use that picture to as evidence that they're not scammers.

You remind me of Travel with Luke Demant, you guys sound the same and you are both very enthusastic, kind and spontaneous. God bless you =)

My guy deserves more subscribe... keep going 💪

Too hot, too crowded, too humid, too noisy... i'll just go to an Indian restaurant, ha-ha!

It's cool with me since that What the Indians want be called! I can definitely do that!

Look the difference how Muslim treat him and how Hindu from India treat him insulting him!

bro its normal here they didn't mean to offend black person mean that only

I just discovered this channel Amazing stuff

He had on Thinsulate boots in the middle of India, boy I know your feet was sweating. LOL

OOOOOOMGODDD WHEN YOU TOOK THAT HAIR OUT OF THAT SOUP I PUKED FOR YOU!!! WTFFFFF

You're gonna make it brother keep it up enjoying these vlogs!

Yeah but the word ‘negro’ isn’t used in a bad context Abdi. That Sikh dude probably doesn’t know the implication of the word and perhaps used it to describe that you are from Africa or look like one. He was and is innocent therefore. Move on.

You should visit Southern India, the Tamil nadu/ Kerala region

Is visiting a temple of shirk a great way to spend our time?

Actually, in India we use the N word for all the black people in general, but little do we know it's a racial comment, this we only realise, when few people like myself visit foreign countries, or people like u come down and explain it 2 us😊

For example: The boss of this company is Hitler. Hitler will appear to be very offensive in Europe but here in India it mostly means a person whose is a very strict disciplinarian. Sometimes the intension of the word is more important.

what a fascinating place 😮

have u not got sick yet in india eating the food?

Somaliyey wiilkan meel dheer aan gariisno❤

24:53 That guy looks honest though, maybe somebody told him to say it. I used to think that it was just a word for the black race, like hispanic, asians e.t.c.

Bro don,t get offended, ind8a is diffrent form west but nowdays west his demeaning india, india is diverse country if we have white person we called him bhoora or angrez, if u r balck person we called them kalua , in teasing way or even parents named their own children with such names, it doesn,t mean racist and enjoy u r welcome.

Judging by what I see on the video, people are happy to talk to you. Further you don't look any different from the locals. Also India is not just north India, next time visit South India as well and hope you have a wonderful time in South Asia!

Bro when you coming Somalia 💙🇸🇴🫂

I WOULD TO GIVE 1M SUBSCRIBE BUT I COULDN'T ABLE , ONE DAY YOU WILL TEACH it 🎉🎉

Hey Abdi, I'm sorry you endured that especially in Amritsar. India as a whole is very ignorant about Africans. Most of the people who said those remarks to you didn't mean to upset you, were curious or were just ignorant in how to approach and what to ask. The guys in the restaurant crossed a lot of personal boundaries saying that and were just stupid and racist. I hope you have good journeys elsewhere in South Asia. I'm sorry Punjab did that to you. PS: Go to Malaysia one day. Delicious food and very kind people. Love from Canada.

Sorry you had to face this,but also there is a cultural difference that needs to be noted,in India most people don't know and neither are taught that the n word is so offensive,it does not have racist connotations ,its used as a name, even I who has been exposed to western media a lot did not know how offensive it was considered in the west a few years ago. If the man knew how hurtful it is,theres no reason he would use it in his holy sacred place to hurt you,by his body language he looked happy to meet you. Also jaats are known to be loud and boisterous its a habit of theirs to meet people energetically sometimes they hit the back and hands with warmth ,there have even been funny gags about it how someone got hit too much, it's a cultural thing to pat on the back or hands when one meets,one cant see things in India through the lens of how the west treats people of colour,India is a very different country and very diverse culturally and linguistically and and also ethnically.

they don't "love" the N-word in India. its just the way they describe a person of a certain colour. no insults are intended, im sure.

The problem is music. They hear it in songs, they don't know it's bad.

They don't actually mean in a bad way.. even i didn't know it was a bad word until someone told me.. so this one i think is innocent

Pretty soon it would be offensive to call you guys black.

Bro he didn’t hit u , this is the way to say go ahead (in positive way ) But I saw your some vlogs u always make small things to big …. Like today what u did

Afghanistan aad sxb meshaas muqaalo kasoo samee caalamka oo dhan ayaa warkooda rabo dad badan na waad heleysaa oo ku daawado guuleyso sxb

That guy wasnt even being serious lmao

“Okayy, stab me here” 😂

Hey @abdiexplorer. Firstly, I regret that you faced these situations here. But I gotta tell you, that most people don't know that the N word is offensive and racist. They think of it like a race/nationality instead of being an insult, if I may say so. Not until they move abroad or to a place where their exposure expands do they know that it is an offensive word. Easier said than done - just educate these guys of its offensive nature coz they genuinely in their limited world don't know. Like the guy at 26 off minutes told you about something you didn't know and educated you.

Best time for India travelling for best & lovely experience is OCTOBER to APRIL (7 month) best days for tour & travels. Rest 5 month MAY to SEPTEMBER weather not support you, climate difficulty.

okay😊😊😊

if you iron and straighten your hair, you will look like an Indian, ngl,

Bro I wish you good luck to visit my n India 🇮🇳. I would like to point out here that you had experienced by Indians that they called you “ Nigro “ I am sorry about that you hurt I apologize behalf of them as I am Indian live in USA 🇺🇸. Just ignore them because they don’t have knowledge how to interact with African people. They should have interest you instead of “ Migro” rather “ African” … some of Indians they don’t have enough English knowledge in terms of conversation… so take it easy and be Happy … I love you brother ❤️

Honestly man even i came to know that N** word is racist recently😅.....we've been taught in school about the 3 races of human and we as Indian (mostly) thought its normal to use the N word...just like using caucasoid or mongoloid, so many might use the N word not to insult u but they are unaware about it being racist....but leaving aside this fact, most Indian are racists...we as Northeatern dwellers have faced racism alot in mainland India...but dont worry, u will find many good indians too like more than u might have expected..Take care and have fun brother👌

Very cool
