if the camera was off, i bet people would say radically different things about what they truly think.

[P_K]

Guyz, u need to stop seeking for validation from foreigners.

[Swaesyy]

As an Indian I feel very sad that almost everyone only knows us for curry even though curry is only a specific dish otherwise it's mostly gravy.

[SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

As an Indian, I am now afraid to travel to both Koreas.

As an individual from the North East of India, I often encounter surprise from my Korean friends when they learn about my Indian identity. Some have even remarked that my appearance seems more Korean than Indian. In such instances, I find myself explaining our rich diversity, a facet of our culture that is not widely known, even among Westerners. It is my hope that one day the world will come to understand and appreciate the diversity within India. In the meantime, let's continue to promote love and peace to foster better global understanding.

East Asian media and Western media portray India very negatively. They will go to any crowded place in North India and post the video.They will opt for the cheapest food and stay, and then they will complain india is not a comfortable place to travel. So these people will think that whole india is like that.I wonder why foreigners want to visit ganges river when there are many beautiful and clean places in india like south india, northeast, himachal and ladak.Most of the people dont know anything about how diverse india is. All they know is curry, yoga and cast system. As an Indian from the South, India is not perfect, but life here is not dangerous and miserable as you people think.
Edit: My fellow Indians, please stop fighting in the comment section. These people don't know anything about India other than the usual stereotypes and they are not interested in knowing more about India. We cant blame them, we have failed to represent our country globally. Dont make racist remarks against Koreans. I apologise if those comments offended anyone.

[AmericansinIndia]

As an American living in India I can honestly say that I did not personally know anything about India before I came here!!! Now living here in India with my wife and 4 kids I realize how little I thought about broadening my perspective on other countries and cultures! We have been living here in India for a little while and we are learning new things every single day! We love it here in Bharat!!!

[IMRo]

I can't decide whether this video starting with curry might be the best or worse thing I saw as an Indian




Edit: Holy s@*t, I didn't expect 1.3k likes on my comment. Thanks guys! tbh, my feelings still didn't change even after reading the reply comments. Yes, I do understand the intro has good intentions but idk, I'm still indifferent I'm ngl. I think the indifference stems from seeing a YT vid called Curry Police a while back.

On a different note, I am quite happy to see the open-mindedness of the Koreans that was interviewed. While you're going to have some negative perceptions of India (or any country perceived to be poor), some will appreciate the positive aspects of it. You can say this about all people, not just Koreans.

Useless me fact: I became fascinated by Korea due to Heo Hwang-ok, the legendary queen of Korea who was Indian, and the similarities between Tamil and Korean

The word "CURRY" is not used by Indians for their dishes. It was a term coined by the British because they couldn't accurately pronounce the names of our dishes. I as an Indian don't like it when they just call our food curry ... Just like people know there is a dish called as sushi, kimchi, similarly we don't have curry but we have particular names for each curry (we call it either daal or sabzi depending on what it is) . Also we don't only have curry but more than just curry in each part of the India

[swetasingh]

Curry, curry, curry... The hell they do with curry. We don't even have one. They have names differently.

[크레스토]

To be honest, Koreans are not very interested in India except for those who do business. Curry and yoga are famous. Many people are not very interested in the good or the bad. The geographical distance is also a reason.

[arpitshivhare]

What I hate about foriegn tourists is they always find cheapest ways to stay and travel in India and than say India ain't good for travelling. You guys have got both luxurious and cheap way to travel India it just depends on your choice and preference.

[Rhileyn]

FYI, there’s no thing such as curry in India. It’s a term that came from a place of HIGH IGNORANCE to single-handedly generalise all gravy based dishes from a vast array of Indian cuisines to a single term. It’s like me referring to Samgyeopsal, Soondae, Tteokbokki, etc. as Kimchi, or calling every single Japanese dish (Natto, Miso Soup, etc.) Sushi. Highly reductionist, please refrain from doing so in the future.

[Razear]

The lady in the red scarf has a point. People in more racially homogenous countries will be less accustomed to seeing those who don't look like them and will innately carry a stronger in-group bias, which is what leads to these prejudicial attitudes.

[BondiBeache]

In the case of Korean clubs, if problems with foreigners recur, they temporarily ban entry.
The reason why Indians and Pakistanis were banned was because they repeatedly sexually harassed women in the club by touching their bodies without their permission, and received strong protests for treating female customers like prostitutes. Since there had been frequent accidents caused by Indians and Pakistanis before, this incident made people angry and banned the entry of Indians and Pakistanis.

Likewise, another club where US soldiers ignored and sexually harassed Korean women temporarily banned US soldiers stationed in Korea.

Other clubs banned French people;

There were clubs where foreigners of various races had caused various problems, such as vandalism, non-payment of alcohol bills, threats to people around them, and fights, and there were some places where all foreigners were banned from entering.

In most cases, this is not a measure taken due to a single accident, but rather when a specific race repeatedly visits and causes problems.

[AbhishekSingh-wbco]

When they talk about Korean hate india, they say all Koreans are not like that, but India is a country with 1.4 billion people, so even the 1% population is a huge number. So just based on some news and YouTube they have prejudice about India. How it is justifiable.

[nihalbiswas]

The thing is nobody in their right mind will tell that they dislike someone when they are literally in front of a camera and being interviewed

[Awaken.]

If you want to see real stereotypes of korean about india just type india in korean language you will see tons of negative videos about india

[GGGCCC]

I think one of the important reason from not good images of india is, people think there are unsafety place. When I heard about crimes from news, actually I wanted to visit India before but my mind was changed after heard about that news. I hope Indians try to make India as a good manner open minded place. Then every people will open about India and there will be popular place for travelling. Makes your land as a beautiful place.
