Is Rural India 'Third World'?

Is rural India really a "third world?" Here's my experience.

Rural India is not a poverty-stricken third world. I've spent enough time living in my wife's village in Rajasthan, and her small town in Haryana, to see this.

Rural Indians are strong, resilient, and self-sufficient people. They work hard as farmers, they eat fresh food from their fields, and they make their own yoghurt and butter from their cow's milk.

Their kids take the bus to school, and during COVID, they used their smartphones and 4G internet to attend online classes.

Their houses might look different, but they're spacious and the rope "khaat" beds are comfortable, plus most of the year we enjoy sleeping on the roof in the fresh air too.

Villages might not have all the development & modern conveniences of a city, but they are living a pure life close to nature which I admire.

So, what do you admire about rural India?

In some way, they are more free than someone living in New York...

Sleeping on khaat on roof in a clear night with sky full of stars is just ethereal

[ekmusafir]

Sleeping in the open, or on roof on a khaat is the best feeling ever ❤️

This is the most genuine understanding of my nation I've seen anyone have. Even people from here who live in cities don't understand this. I really appreciate it.

[maxcarlson]

Thank goodness that you are showing the truth. I’ve been to India and it is such a wonderful country.

I'm an Indian and Karl is educating me about my own country. He's amazing

[Andrea-gxpx]

Their hospitality and altruism is unique. I loved my experience in rural Rajasthan. They are so pure and genuine!

Sleeping on the khatt and listening to grandma grandpa stories is the ideal Indian night

This is the life. Reminds me of my village in AFRICA. The food is fresh, the people are nice and life is almost stress free.

Finally we see a sweet guy moving in with the wife in her environment and learning about their way of living. It's very refreshing and your point of view as well. People tend to mistake simplicity with poverty

[FloatingPhyzzxx]

I have been 17 time in India and what I enjoy mostly Is semplicity. I love all of India 🕉️ and of course Indian people

[VK-nokj]

Man. You have described the truth so beautifully. We Indians ourselves dont realize the self-sufficiency and completeness of rural Indian life

[koriann]

When people ask what do you dream of .... it's "self sustainability" ... only some will understand that concept & the value it holds

[itiscleartome]

Many rural Indians are much richer than those struggling in the cities ❤

[jonathonthomas]

It's really really cool that not only have you made an attempt to understand your wife's culture, but that you went to where she grew up to do so. Gives me a slight bit more hope for humanity

[naveenavb]

Finally someone understood that Indian villages are not slums😁 love from India 💗

[salimjaved]

One thing I learnt seeing Karl's videos is that he loves, understands and appreciates India more than many Indians.

[ram_s_ranga]

I am from rural south India, a slightly different landscape but the basic tradition and lifestyle are same and i like my village so much that after working for 12 years in Chennai and Bangalore I returned back to my village to do some sustainable living and work!

These are people who aren’t too worried over the materialistic aspects of life and value relationships. They seem to be more happy and comfortable than most people in big capital cities.
