    British lived in india for 200 years. We dont care for western certificates. India is beautiful . We dont need outsiders to tell us how we should feel about our own country
  • @user-yt9yw6uf4m
    You can't be high-headed and live in India. One has to be humble and at the same time street-smart!
  • @tantujanandy7526

  • @yashrao5269
    Thank you man for adding Hindi Subtitles as well since my English isnt that good:). I truly appreciate it
  • Jeff Goldberg couldn’t have been more candid be more candid, yet at same time voice neutral views of India, speaks volumes of his attitude towards travel n humanity. He was able to relate to the societal changes in the last 2 or 3 decades be it development, social values etc while some of the kids here are beginning to miss these contexts. Max as always tremendous efforts from your end to get the content rolling out. Kudos to you.

  • @impopquiz
    In other words, many Americans think that the world revolves around them. 😅😅😅 I also hv many American friends who are very open and willing/wanting to learn about local cultures.
  • @mayurnayudu3376
    He seems to me like a brother every one can have . Who will listen to your problem and give a perspective. He is a philosopher.
  • @rajasreeibs

  • @AmericansinIndia
    💯💯💯Dude this is very true!!! Living here in BHARAT as an American I realize that I cant expect anything here in India to change for me or for things to be done the "American way" hahaha!!! I am learning to get used to the "Indian way" as I should be since I am living here in this country. Only been here for only a few months and vlogging the journey and with my family of six we are loving it!!! 💯💯💯
  • Jeff has such a calming voice Wanted to hear him for hrs , his observation is so spot on
  • India is a very old civilization, lot of things the westerners think they discovered, we knew about it thousands of years ago. There is so much knowledge in our Vedas. It’s for you to understand. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
  • @madanransure3868
    After I saw the video, I understood that Jeff is totally right in his assessment of Indian society. Further his views about the future of Indian film industry are great . Now the south Indian movies for their content related with family, society, political problems are being liked even Hindi Belt. Dubbing in Hindi n subtitles in Hindi are facilitating the Hindi audiences to understand them. I have became great fan of south Indian movies especially Malyalam. Really thanks for creating n posting this video on YouTube.
