Why Indians come to live in Georgia and what challenges they face 

I'm Kenyan African and all I've ever loved is Indians ...I really hate how they getting treated here, one day I hope to convert & marry an Indian or make a family full of love and peace

There are many reasons why discrimination rises. To understand the full picture here you need deep knowledge of Georgian history and politics as well. Georgian perspective of xenophobia is completely different than in western Europe or Americas and it actually touches the fear of extinction as a nation. First of all, Indians being loud is least "disturbing" for Georgians as I see it. I have even not thought about that until you mentioned just now. Mostly Georgians complain about Indians being dirty, they don't clean up space as the girl mentions and also throw their garbage in the streets or something. For the hosts cleaning is the biggest problem, when Indians leave a house, they leave the space in so much mess that hosts prefer not to rent them at all. Another issue is the number of residents. Most of the times, 2 or 3 people would visit a host and try to rent but then like 10 people live in the house, it is unacceptable for Georgian hosts. Now about xenophobia... historically Georgia has bad examples of letting foreigners in big numbers in to live. Also, for centuries we have fought every big empire you can think of that had any connection with west Asia so in general, Georgians look everyone with watchful eyes. Especially from Asia and from Asians we have history of foreigners coming, settling and replacing Georgians hence taking land from the country. Even today we have issue with 2 breakaway separatist regions and it's generally considered that one of them rebelling at least, South Ossetia is caused by Ossetian migrations in 19-20th centuries. In 90's and early 2000's when you would see an Indian, it was something new and unexpected for a regular Georgian who would only see Indians in Bollywood movies and they saw it as something exotic. However, as the numbers grew, there was some sort of a switch in minds of Georgians and they started to think protective. One advice I would give everyone is to learn the language. I know it is difficult as hell but still. It will always please a Georgian to speak the language when you're a foreigner. Considering the fact that many local minorities don't speak the language and they speak Russian to communicate (yeah, Soviet past...) it affects more than usual to Georgians when they hear "outsiders" speaking Georgian. Actually, as I've experienced, more Indians speak the language proportionally than other foreigners so keep it up, even put more effort in it. Most of the students come here to study medicine which takes 6 years so it's enough time to master casual speech at least.

It's true Indians can be very loud and not care about their surroundings. They must remember when in another land to respect the culture of that land. In goa to many goans don't not like their loud behavior.

The way you came to Georgia,the same you will go back!

I understand why there is growing anti-Indian sentiment in Georgia. It is because there is growing xenophobia against ALL foreigners of color there now. I am black American and I lived in Georgia from 2006 to 2009. On subsequent annual trips back there, I have seen the number of foreigners of color from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, multiply. This, coupled with the fact that many educated and middle class Georgians have moved abroad means that Tbilisi has seen an influx of poorly educated villagers moving there along with the foreigners of color who are often doing well economically. This causes the new tensions spoken about in the video.

LONG LIVE INDIAN GEORGIA FRIENDSHIP AND MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING

We Indians are literally everywhere

as a Georgian I see more and more Indians every single day

Reality is India is not categorized as clean country. Probably D+ in cleanliness. So perception is such.

As a young Georgian i will tell you why its slowly incrising and will continiue to incrise . As a kid when i saw african or indian i was suprised and curise and whanted to get to know them and be friend with them but as the time gone buy i saw more and more of them every year it got to the point that i dont feel like some parts of tbilisi are Georgia . I know many people who feel the same. Few diferent people is okay and cool but when you see them everywere and everyday its difrent it does not feel like you are in geoegia so you want them all gone .

Gerogians like rich Arabs & muslims from North Africa & Middle east

სიყვარული ინდოეთიდან საქართველომდე

Racism is unacceptable anywhere. But what is so sad is that Mother India cannot offer her children a better life that abroad is always better for so, so many. It just be heartbreaking to have to go to a country that so different in so many ways.

Before 5 to 6 years, Georgians treated Indians well. They used to pay for the food that we had in restaurants and helping us in various ways. I don't know how it is changed now

The discrimination gave me blacks in America vibes…. Melanin is always the target

Still one of the safest country.

There has to be an East Indian and African American talk forum. There is some hidden " Drama" that needs to be discussed.

Bruh . I thought this video is abt the Georgia state, in US.

Bhai agar koi Georgia 🇬🇪 mai rahta hai to help chahiya

Sir can i go to georgia on visit visa and convert to work visa?

4:00 if you know you know 😂😂🤣

My Country my jaan

They honestly accepted that they are loud and noisy. But they can't change. For them to speak in soft voice is becoming like sick person.

Indians must make a serious effort to adjust the way Georgians live and earn a good name for themselves and the country. What is mentioned here is true as that is what Indians end up creating in any country they go to. They live many people in one small area, speak loudly, do not say sorry or thank you to the waiter, follow traffic rules, learn to throw garbage in garbage disposal, treat their host countrymen with respect, etc. Etc.

One woman from India tried to tell my daughter she was a slave in her own country and state. They are not Christian.

I am in india, and I get irritated of the of the loud "dilli se hu behen cho.." crowd.
