TikTok is banned in India though! Which honestly increases my respect for them even more... Edit: Ok I guess I hit a nerve! lol

India helped us in war against Pakistan, we will never forget. Love from your neighbor Bangladesh!

Much respect to India for not claiming the entire Indian Ocean as theirs and bullying other countries that border it. China on the other hand...

I'm Indian 🇮🇳...Christian Diversity and the warmth in my country is well explained thank you 😊 Sad to see humanity level going down in other parts of the world parying for more peace on Earth 🌍.. Lik my PM says one Earth one family 🙏🏼

It's true. My entire university and work life is being supported by the community of Indian guys who somehow have the answer to every tech problem.

i am a tribal buddhist minority from northeast india and my motherland is full of love and compassion for everyone on this planet

When I was in middle school I had a teacher that spoke of India in such a demeaning way. I took it to heart for so many years until I started to learn about how spiritual, outspoken, and truthful Indian people are. I learned about the many gods that they worship, the resilience of Indian culture throughout the ages, and how adaptive they are in every age of the world. Needless to say I fell in love with India after learning about it on my own. I have never been to India myself, but I truly want to go and travel ALL of India some day.

As an Indian living in the US, thank you for seeing us. Indians believe in the world being a single family. Perhaps naive, but there we are.

An incredible country that is rich in religious and historical diversity. A proud country that welcomes foreigners with open arms. Spent three months travelling the country as a back packer and left the place changed for the better by my experiences. Thanks India for being so great ! From Australia

India has so many wonderful Buddhist holy places. India received the Dalai Lama and tens of thousands of Tibetans as refugees in 1959 although they were a poor country. China has been in grotesque denial about the destruction and usurpation of Tibet during the cultural revolution. I am a Buddhist and have spent a great deal of time in Dharamsala where the Dalai Lama still lives in exile. China may have wonderful people but Tibetan Buddhist teachings and culture survived in large part because of India

" VASUDEVA KUTUMBAKAM" mean " World is one family" That's what India Believes 🙏.. that's our culture teaches us.

As someone that lived 6years in china and now is regularly working in India for over a decade, I can only support what is said in this video. VERY GOOD SUMMARY

This is why Australia is forming Alliances with India, Japan and South Korea. How your trading partners treat you is more important than how much money you make..

Shoutout to all the Indian developers who upload the most specific tech videos on RU-vid. 🙏🏼

Land of religions & Land of cultures our incredible India

I visited India once during 2017 from Canada, a really nice experience, absolutely loved the hospitality of the people. They would often go out of their way to help us with directions and local cuisine etc. I have never seen anything close to this kind of friendliness during my visits to any other nations. After I returned, I read about how India was oppressed by the British for a long time. Absolutely outrageous! How greedy were the British that they exploited and oppressed a country of such nice and kind people!

India also is underappreciated and under reported on its infrastructure development...How many people here know that India has the highest number of skyscrapers and mega projects under construction in the world...Highest number of metro lines under construction, Fastest road expressway construction...Tallest railway bridge under construction...Bullet train lines under construction...and none of these are made up by me you can check up yourselves...India does not boast about these in propaganda films...its just silent hardwork...

I lived in Bangalore for many years, and I've never felt more welcomed. I must mention that I was not there on a fat expat package. I worked for an Indian company. I still miss my routine.

Omggg... As an Indian, I'm about to cry after reading comment box!!🥺 I'm thrilled to see foreigners talking positively about India!❤ Yes, we can make friends anywhere, anytime with any stranger😂 We love to explore people, their culture, specially foreigners! We always get curious when we see any foreigners!😊 We believe "Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam" means "whole world is our family"... Then why to hesitate to talk with any family member??!😅 This world is occupied with humans, we are for each other... So, why to hate?? Just respect all humans and animals, even every creature!🙏🏻

I m Tibetan and i love❤India.🎉

As an Indian I am glad you are not making up the same BS as other youtubers do to make India look better than it is. I gladly accept that it has problems that we need to work on but we all will have our say in it.

As my indian mom says, "whatever the situation life throws at you, just be nice"😅 and I live by this rule...

I agree, we need to back India. Indian peoples are for the most part smart, great MDs here in USA. I think of Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. Brilliant man.

I'm Indian 🇮🇳 And I'm proud of what my country has grown into , We call our country * 'Bharat maata'*(Mother India) proud of it being a democracy ❤

I have been to India and yes,its true !! The one thing I liked was the unfiltered image India potrays and the spiritual nature of Indian people. It is where I realized Religion and Spirituality are the soul of a Nation 💗! After returning home I presented my findings for my College report where I presented my report - Religion and Culture are the Soul of a Nation. I compared India and China there😂

As an Indian…Yeyyyy!! 🤣😁 our nation is kind and beautiful with all its flaws!😊

As an indian i will probably say u r the first western youtuber you shares the real picture of india ❤❤❤

I love Xavier, so I also love India. 😂❤ And thank you India for supporting my country Philippines in our conflict with China on SCS. It may be indirect, like selling us the Brahmos, but highly appreciated.

I can confirm that. Been to both of them. China about 20times (circa 2years). India more than 30times and a total of circa 2,5 years. India may be not as developed, not as clean or economically rich, BUT ☝🏻.... India is safe, nice, they smile, they don't try to steal, the hospitality is great and they don't hate foreigners. Trust me on that! Greetings from Austria! 🇦🇹 👋🏻

I'm an African and I have been watching how India behaves towards other "smaller" nations. India has been rendering CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation) to Sri Lanka (during it's economic crisis) - they have extended a line of credit that has lower rates of interest when compared to Chinese loans. India donated a large amount of grain to Afghanistan. India will help (if it can) even if there's no immediate payback from the recipient. China from what I can see is more "business like" ie less compassionate. China did great things in Africa in the past like the TANZAM railway, but this feeling of "brotherhood" seems to have faded from the Chinese government.

I am an Indian who has lived and studied in USA. This video is truly a great perspective. So real. Whenever people say: "India should grow like China". I ask them: "Really? Are you so desperate for some extra money that you will give up your freedom for it ?" We do not hide our truth. Yes we need to do more. I feel the more we fuse our culture, values with modern technology and hard work, there would be no stopping us. We do would love to see everyone win.

The Indian hospitality is ...wayyyyyyyyyy better than China...Indian people make you feel that you are a part of their family .... Much love to India from LA 🫶🏻💕

Above all Indian smiles are not fake, they are genuine.

Here in Russia we have a lot of Indian students and I always notice how well-mannered and diligent they are,how they try the best at studying Once an Indian student invited our old uni teacher at his home in India,she came and at the way back was very impressed by the hospitality in their family

i watched some of your channel for a couple of hours. thanks for keeping it real

Thank you so much , your perspective of India is so nice to hear for a 35 yes old like me thinking that India can do better

You can even notice this difference in Indians and Chinese abroad. Going to university in the UK I have never been approached by a Chinese student, any time I spoke to one it was either an assignment or I decided to first. Meanwhile Indian students would often start the conversation, whether it was small talk waiting for the bus or waiting for a lecture to start. Despite similar numbers(it was a compsci course so popular with both groups), the Chinese students would often form their own bubbles where they didn't speak to British students at all while Indians mixed in with everyone else. And this wasn't entirely a language issue since the Chinese students did speak decent English when they had to. Overall I have never met an Indian person I didn't get along with. Great country, wish them the best.

When both my parents (who i was visiting in Chennai, South India) got Covid, the govt officials came knocking on our doors to say we can't keep them at home as they were both above 80 and needed to be hospitalized. I said i was a physician and would take care of them at home and hospitalize them if needed. No questions, no argument. They went away. My parents are fine now and tided over the covid infection successfully. Looking back, if this was China, they would be rounded up by the officials in an isolation center by force and i too would be put somewhere, the house sealed etc etc. I thank Almighty God i live in India, not China!

no matter how poor we are, as an indian I want to say to all the people around the globe, " you are our family, we are humans and we will be standing with you everytime you need us for help"

That was an insightful analysis. We need more brave journalists with integrity like that in the media.

I am a Chinese n born in Singapore.I fully agreed of what you had said.Great video.

India is like a friend who will always stay by your side.. No matter what...

Thank You and Lots of Love from INDIA my friend

Brilliant. A truly worthwhile analysis, candid and honest. It was really good to watch this no-bullshit presentation.

I'm Cambodian, I know Indian friends, they are actually honest people at any rate

Dated an Indian girl once. Was not really my type but did anyways because she was incredibly nice and kindhearted. By far the best girl I ever dated. But due to academic circumstances we went our separate ways. What stood out was just the energy and passion of not just her but also her friends. They really do know how to live.

What an absolutely lovely video. Spoken honestly with first hand knowledge of both countries. Moving. Thank you.

Wonderful commentary! Please continue to bring you view points to the world!

I live in Queens NY what I always liked about Indian people, especially Hindu and Sikhs, is that they are not haters they seem to go out about their business without hating on people

The people of India are so friendly, and humble, and gracious.

I cannot imagine youtube without you in it.

Always great great video. Thank you!

I lived in Rajasthan for 3 months and had the time of my life volunteering. The people were so amazing to me I didn't want to come home! I cried at the airport I just wanted to stay and continue the work I was doing. The hospitality in India will bring anyone to tears if they stay long enough. I left my heart in India. I can't speak for China though I depend on you for such knowledge.

I've been to both, very different politically, culturally and socially Have to say, had no desire to go back to China but definitely will visit India again

I'm really appreciative of how open & clear you were with the facts here, we have our own share of problems but we always try to prioritize the collective well-being. We have a saying "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" meaning "The world is one family". 🙏

For the first time I saw a honest review... India is far behind china but India is striving hard to take the country to the club of developed country simultaneously taking care of its poor people and also India is open to the rest of the world not like china that acts on a hide under the carpet policy...

I visited India in '93. I remember how people were honored to be in your photos. A woman working in a museum asked me, "Sir, will you take my photo"? So sweet. I still have the picture. An interesting difference between Indians and Westerners is that we Westerners see people as personalities, Indian people see others as souls.

I fucking love India, love from The netherlands!

You had me with the clip Indian showing how to partition a drive on windows 10

Thank you everyone for respecting my Country🇮🇳❤️

I live in germany but met indians often while working at american companies, and they're very humble and nice. I do hope india itself becomes more developed and a great business partner of the west

I used to work with a bloke from India. One of the friendliest, down to earth person I've met. Always regretted loosing contact with him after I moved jobs. He was even patient enough to teach me some phrases. Namaste my friend.

Lots of love from India❤ New subscriber❤

Brilliant analysis.. thank you brother!

China has given me my TV. India has given me Sadhguru🙏👍

While living in Asia, I met people from many Asian countries, and usually everyone was friendly. But the Indians seemed the most authentic, they were the only ones who sincerely wanted to chat with me and be friends with me. I also had the most civilized and interesting conversations with them. Good job India!

Great insight into the real differences between both.

Yup , agree totally with You . I went to Shanghai & Beijing in June 2019 before Covid hit on a Business visit plus solo visit to Great Wall on my own . The situation on the peak was horrendous ( people talking loudly to each other , folks at the wall wouldn’t even give me 5sec to take a decent selfie ) .. gosh it was bad. Foreigners that I met on the cable car had similar comments on how different Foreigners treated in China vs Japan which was very curteous & friendly . Wat a contrast .

2:16 As a computer scientist, I don't know how many Indian Tech Tutorials I've seen throughout my career :D

I adore India. I recently went to Aurungabad, and i can honestly say the people were the kindest, happiest and welcoming of any country I've been to (and I've travelled the world many times). They're generally quick witted, intelligent and warm.

Very nice video keep it up brother. Wishing u many more pleasent visit and stay in India.

that was amazing video. touching to see. pure amazing seeing the smiles. awesome

I’m born in Singapore but I’m Indian. Proud to be Indian and cheering on India from the sidelines. Maybe one day I will move back to my motherland.

An Indian minority here. While India is far from perfect, I can be whoever I want to be and say whatever I like to say and that's something I never take for granted.

Waah bai.... Respect for you again after 10 years.

Our mainstream media in Australia mostly seems to swallow the official Chinese version without question. And that might give a clue as to why our coverage of India is almost all bad news. It seems Chinese money in our media requires bad images only of India. But India is a country with a space program, the world's largest democracy, about the 5th largest economy (real figures, not 'official' propaganda) and lots of good relationships with other nations. Respect.

Man, I have so much respect for India. I love the people, I love how much potential they all seem to have, how smart and creative and driven every single one of them I’ve met always are. India is the future, nothing but love and respect 👌🏽

We Indians are really indebted to our freinds from different countries who have liked Indians & love India. Its true that we have lots of problems including basic nevessities like water, housing , cleanliness etc but ee are working hard & hopeful to improve things & overcome poverty

Lovely genuine observations and comparisons. Living in denial does not make the problems go away. By being open together we can come up with solutions. Free thinking and understanding and living in harmony with nature has been the root of Indian civilisation- Vedic or Sanatan dharma - a way of living.

I have been going to India every couple of years and I see hopelessness and extreme poverty disappearing progressively. I think India has more stable approach.

I’m an American who lived in India for 3 years. Before that I studied mandarin for a year at community college, went to a Chinese medicine school, and had tons of Chinese friends in America. The reason I made the switch from being a China fan to an India fan was due to some of the stuff you mentioned, especially after my first two visits to India. I love India, and I miss it dearly. I wanted to live there permanently but health issues, family issues, and Covid got in the way. India is very challenging and not for most westerners to live in, but visiting as a tourist is a good thing for most people I feel. If you are up for a challenge, it’ll open your eyes. I still hope to return and continue my plans there, but it’ll probably take a a year or two realistically. Fantastic video.

PERFECT AND UNBAISED ANALYSIS 👍👌

Very nice content and nice effort to understand cultural differences.

This is why I've been saying to people, it is in our best interests (for Americans) to have very warm relations with India. But for some reason, we think that Pakistan is more viable. Yeesh.

India has a big heart..the only country to have welcomed persecuted jews, parsees and Tibetans with open arms in the past...although it must be said that she was brutalised and exploited by the brits and islamic invaders...much of its wealth has been looted but it was one of the first countries to respond with vaccines to neighbouring countries and even to the US during the pandemic..and also provided much needed help to struggling Sri Lanka recently..

I am a white Canadian in Vancouver, Indians smile and are friendly they say hello and are great to work with, most Chinese do the opposite, my opinion.

This is the most practical and non romanticized perspective on India I have come across. ❤

The widespread deep desire in India is to be equal to the world, to not lag behind. There is no desire to become the next world police.

The first time I came to India was 11 years ago as a language teacher. That first year - especially the work with all those bright young students, but of course also mundane interactions in everyday life or during travels - made me truly fall in love with the country and the people. I was truly sad when my year was up and I had to return home. However, 8 years ago I came back to marry the love of my life and have been living there ever since, and I have zero intentions to move away if I have a say in it. Does India have its problems? Of course, they are all very much loved by film and documentary makers alike, but nobody is more aware of them than Indians themselves. It is a big country with a HUGE population and in conclusion those problems are huge and without short term fixes too. But those problems are being discussed and efforts are made to tackle them, often at grass root level by small local ngos full of people who try to make something better one little step at a time. And that's just what I love about India. Indians are open and engaged. They are very much involved in driving change, on big as well as on small level. may it be the 60 year old aunty who decides to start a tiffin business out of her kitchen, or the 5 man little ngo that organizes music classes for kids in slums, or the ice cream shop owner who asks everyone if they have any old glasses for an old people's home he donates to, and I could write an essay about all such people I meet here regularly. And then there are all those ultra-bright people, not only young ones but even elderly. Only the other day I met a 70 year old man who just learned a new programming language. I was floored. People are open, people want to make a change, they want a better life - of course for themselves, but many many also have compassion to try and give a positive change to others - they want to learn, they are eager and open and curious to get to know you and possibly get some positive input from you, they think on the fly - Indian jugaad is something to be reckoned with in big and in small things - they adapt to the situations as they come, it's truly humbling. And finally, as a foreigner of another ethnicity I will forever be grateful at how welcome I've always felt here and at how easy it is to encounter and communicate with people on a human-to-human level. People you talk to are not just 'Indians' they could be your aunty, or your uncle, or your little brother or sister, or your big brother or sister, you connect to people that way and despite all the harshness that is undoubtedly often there due to the economic and communal situation, there is also so so much open and warm humanity. After almost 10 years living in India I have full faith that India will continue to advance to a better future, one step at a time, no matter how long it will take. It sometimes may feel like no progress is made, but if you look at how India was left behind by the British just after 1947 (you just need to read V.S. Naipaul's bitter early work to get an idea), India has advanced lightyears, and that after being basically sucked dry by foreign occupiers for centuries before that. I'll always be grateful to this country for welcoming me in. Jai Hind!

I am glad I watched your video. Very realistic and honest

Your videos are educational. Thanks.👍🏻

If you stay in India just one month you are attached the , culture , food and people you always miss India and Indians when you leave. it;s so painful to leave india and Indian culture not just you loosing a good vibes but also loosing soul in India

Always got on with Indians. Whether it was fellow students at college who were good students and would help explain something if asked or was a doctor or dentist who you always felt tried their best for you.

This comment section is so overwhelming ☺️ love u all from India ❤❤❤❤

Indians really are some of the friendliest, most welcoming people. I have never traveled to China, so could not comment on how open they are, or otherwise.

Indians in the UK are very valued as sociable,clever and industrious. I cannot imagine the country without them. A big plus is that Hinduism seems to engender happiness rather than restriction and supremacist attitudes. They are smiley but the Chinese people I have met seem a bit dour and introverted. Others may, of course, think differently.

I walked through dharavi one day (yes the area where slumdog millionaire was inspired by) and it has honestly improved so much, it's cleaner, the houses are better, people are well dressed and the children go to school in full uniform. So yes, we have come a long way int he past 20 years and are still trying to close the poverty gap

As a Brit I have always had a deep respect for India. I like their attitude to life, they work hard and have high goals.

3:25 the shaolin temple in China was actually established by an Indian king named Bodhidharma, the practitioner of kalaripayattu - the first martial art :)
