Anthony Bourdain shocked by this in Punjab, India (Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown)

[KhalsaRaj]

People that are criticizing anthony for saying this are idiots with a false sense of patriotism. Don't try and cover a problem that is already being pushed under the rug. He isn't pulling those figures off the top of his head... they're real. Punjab is being flooded by drugs and our youth is being destroyed. applaud him for shedding light on a huge problem.

Why are you guys hating on him?! HES BRINGING THESE PROBLEMS TO LIGHT.

[sandydhillon]

Rest peacefully Anthony Bourdain. You will be sincerely missed by many. Thank you for visiting Punjab

[gregorytimmons]

I always liked his take on places and never afraid to add unpleasant but real commentary.

[jackjoseph]

God bless our Punjabi brothers and Punjab.

May Punjab be free from drugs and other things.

HUGE problem in Punjab some of my cousins are on heroin and the families just don't even acknowledge there is even a problem because of the shame. Its really sad to see this happening. Poverty, lack of education trauma and usually abusive households. There needs to be more acceptance and less shame so we can start acknowledging the problems and start helping these people without judgement to help the communities.

We as Indians should tackle these issues not hide from them.

He was a genuinely down to earth person with no pretense. He cared about people with less privilege and loved food and different culture.. I am sorry you had to pass away 😥😇

[sadiesleepwalker]

what an intelligent and articulate and tolerant personality Anthony had💙

[MrJohnaussie]

i m from Punjab and he is right when it comes to drugs, Pakistan is suppying herion at cheap price to Punjab

[pkjs]

He has raised a really good point though, it's not insulting

[gabrielgodoi]

Anthony knew that problem first hand, as a former dope addict. He kept it real, down to earth guy dearly missed.

[suelee]

So sorrowful from loss of Anthony Bourdain!

[mammontustado]

People hating on Tony for speaking the truth. You all know he had a show called No Reservations, right? Because he speaks his mind, no reservations

[IlhaamOR]

I lived in this region for a long while; it is so mystifying!

[nagarajanv]

He should have mentioned that the hardy winter wheat cultivated in North America originally came from the Punjab.

[Warriorlover]

70% of youth are addicted that's so sad.
it's the land of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, lion of Punjab. save your glorious identity punjabi people .

Heirs of an ancient human civilization.

Kitchen Confidentian is my favorite book

Religious is the root of all problems!! So many people would have not died if not religion, In Bangladesh so much people would not have died in 1971 if not religion. half of the war would not have happened if there was no religion.
