It's a shame that we talk about 5th biggest economy.... and politicians and actors saying at immigration they ask are you coming from Modi's country.... Bullshit... the moment they see Indian passport they don't want to trust that you are here for tourism.. ... We are treated worst than 3rd class citizens. The government should stop patting it's own back and try to improve its image as well as give guidelines to it's citizens on how to behave in a foreign country?

As an Indian I would say I don't like noisy, cleanless ugly behaviours of Indians in foreign countries.

I actually love this indian talent should stay in India and contribute for our country. Someone will say well pay is not good here there are no jobs here yes but rich indians should open their own companies here and be the job creators and yes government also needs to pay initiatives to these rich people so that they invest in India.

Palki was??saying in one episode she feel pride as an Indian while she was travelling abroad ???due to Modi...you turned to be Godi Media???

And our govt who loves to haunt middle class with high tax says India's image has improved since Modi's non restricted visits around the globe. If we have become vishwa gurus, why are these countries humiliating an Indian citizen and why there is no value to Indian passport. The PM should talk less and work more. And to be fair Indians have no manners and discipline and can throw garbae and plastics on roads and violate rules hence cannot blame other nation. Here too it is failure of India which has not given priority to education and discipline. These rogues who throw garbage on roads and violate rules must be punished heavily. But populism of govt and useless and dangerous opposition is really hitting India hard.

When you have smashed your manufacturing, you won't have money, if you won't have money, people will be running to other countries like crazy, It's unusual immigration which is hated anywhere even if you tell.them with broad smile that we are the Vishhvguru they gonna hate you. With 100 billion business losses with China It's no joke Palki. You also say that Indian development is sustenable but china's isn't. Many people like you smartly play with words. China's development is clearly visible but it's not sustenable but india development is slipping in every index and it's sustenable! Amazing

Do Indians higenic in their own country and abroad?\nDo South Indians welcome north indians in their states ?\nThe one who goes abroad for study do small part time jobs, will they do the same thing in India ?\nAlmost 50% of Indian students study on subsidies which is a tax payers money, do they wish to contribute back by working in India?\n\nIf answer to all these is NO why would any other country will welcome you ? Is it government' false ?\n\nIf we are saying Indian middle class is growing in numbers then how could a bad economy policy will grow this numbers, If the polocies are so bad number of poor people would have raised in numbers

India is 1.4 billion strong. If a European country gives Indians easier access on visa, we will flood that country. You already have Dunkis thronging in droves, illegally entering US and Canada. This has nothing to do with nationalism or some second-class treatment by other nations. This is simply the logistical reality. India's passport ranking will never improve. And the way Indians behave in other countries, I would say this rejection rate is more than justified.

As a Indian I say indian behaviour is not accepted by fellow indians this is bitter experience with fellow indians

Year back this lady was saying Indian passport was highly esteemed after modiji ...??

For Indians, there are 2 key reasons. I travel so much and live away, so I can say this- 1. The growing jealousy on India and the fact most western countries do not want Indians. China is doing it behind the back wherever they can. The second and equally important is the our behavior and arrogance as Indians when we travel and when we stay abroad. We really irritate and upset people around us.

Ask yourself the question why? Simply because Indian nationals don’t want to return and help their native India. And with the influx of mass migration worldwide into Western countries they say proof of return. Isn’t India or Modi responsible for this? Give students jobs. Period. Namaste.

Why indians want to immigrate wen u say india is a syper power?

Palki, I'm a huge admirer of your journalism. Being a proud Indian and living in NZ from a decade I can say it's not just the equality.\nThe amount of frauds we do in our visa application just to enter a foreign land, I can speak on behalf of NZ, makes it difficult for the next batch of applications coming from that region.\nI won't label that with racism because every country has the right to protect its borders. NZ, Aus in particular has a strong and proud Indian diaspora with more and more Indians successfully coming in every year. But we India as a large population has one of the most number of applications which also increases the chancesl of rejection.

Hi\nCan you let us know how many indians with tourist visa travel outside India and Never come back to india\nThis is the reason \nYou say India is best but sorry to say India is polluted \nSmells\nDictatorship \nCorrupt politicians \nMost government, police,civil servants workers take bribery .\nIf you open the doors for Indians to leave India then more than two thirds of Indians will leave today. \nDoesn't this tell you something\nYou can tell or impress others that you and india is good. \nEveryone knows the truth

I usually agree with everything you say, in this case it’s sadly illegal immigrants and abuse of visas. Come as a tourist or hidden in a truck, work as a take away driver. \n\nMany Indians say dual citizenship leads to dual loyalty, if U.K. or USA open up their country to India. Except the 5% of the rich 95% will emigrate for economic reasons.\n\nOnly solution is for India to grow exponentially with our per capita income rivalling that of the west.

The Indian talent you say, the insurance scams, the welfare scams, it’s about time our governments cracked down on this.

If her daddy Modi has great relationships with every world leader, why is the Indian passport so badly rated? \n\nWhy are those countries not allowing visa free travel for Indians? \n\nWhy is the Indian government not working with those governments to ensure Indians who visit leave properly, and do not stay back? \n\nAs usual, she doesn't ask these simple questions. \n\nInstead, she puts on a fake tone and says a whole lot of nothing.

I watched a video other day in which you were saying Indians are Flaunting their Indian passports at Heathrow AirPort proudly ??? What happened now suddenly

........... COMPLAINING, THEY ARE LAUGHING ON WHAT THE NEWS ANCHOR SAYING, AND THINKING WHAT A PATHETIC, E.G, 2+2=4. NEWS ANCHOR PRETEND DOESN'T KNOW.\n1. THOSE COUNTRIES, BURKINA FASO, CUBA & KOSOVO, ARE BETTER THAN YOUR COUNTRY, THAT IS WHY, RANKED HIGHER THAN YOU. 2. PLEASE, STOP PRETENCE, YOU ARE IN THE MEDIA AND SEE THOUSAND TIMES, AND REPORTED IN MORE THAN 10K LANGUAGES, THAT INDIANS ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH MIGRATION.

say, indian govt is also a looser for not being able to provide opportunities for indian talent.

also how we behave. Just go to indian movie with a indian south big star in usa( paper tearing, screaming). Ganesh nimarjana is good but the shouting on streets . no wonder they say be a roman in Rome

What she literally saying is we demand easy visa for Indians, madam, visas won't work that way ???

werent you saying that visa officers are now impressed with the Indian passport?

Sorry as a British born Indian I must say this when Indians from the motherland come it pushes down the salary we natives get as big companies pay Indians from India less than natives. It is a massive problem for us local people??????? I am a proud Indian but I am also a proud Brit from my lovely west country, 80s born. We have too much illegal and legal immigration and it is a problem for us natives.

I thought Palki was thumping her chest in Britain saying Indian passport has a lot of weight and Indian passport has lot of respect?? They are sh**in on Indian passport now!!

Indian mentality is the leading cause. They want to spend 10 times going to PARIS while ignoring 10 times better places, say the Northeast... They want prestige and to stand tall in front of their neighbors.EGO ...False pride ...go to France or Switzerland and live in 20 sq feet squeezed rooms ...pay 10 times for food ..so most of us skip one meal.... pay even for a typical walk ...just insane still INDIAN STAND TALL ....PRIDE ...Go for value and comfort where you can live like a KING ...and spend HOLIDAY like TRUE Holiday

lol.. Couple of months back Palki was saying immigration officers bow down when they see Indian passport holders

I know a Indian friend who when he was a student due to climate issue got in a delayed flight in UAE, he hates politics but he follows a philosophy that's eye for an eye, and that is if everyone can be a thief nobody will be a thief, if you steel from me, I've the right to do the same, he was denied a 1 day visa by the UAE government and had to stay in the airport for 15 hours, he was angry, while others in the flight was given a 1 day visa, so say 15 years later, he is running his own business abroad, got a chance in open interview to interview students, saw one was a UAE citizen, he never took the interview for him, his philosophy, after 15 hours of waiting, he will take that student's interview, he took other's interview, after time was over he left the office and later the student left, his attitude is he as the right to do the same.

She says a lot of Indians are contemplating moving South now. Good luck with thamericans. Don't want Indians there either time for them to go home and fix the mess that they left there before they destroy our country.

I saw a video of a Nepalese tourist blogger, and some indians misbehaved with him. Many of the Indians including me sorry for that behaviour. But no white skinned is here to say sorry to this guy.

This is an excellent video, and you are clearly a very respectful and decent person. Thank you for posting it. I only hope you will keep my comment posted here once I write it. I've written similar comments elsewhere that were automatically deleted by the person who posted the video, and I found that disheartening. I first want to address the rumour about human feces and dirty diapers being found on Canadian beaches, and I want to stand up for the people who called out Indians for doing this. Somebody saw something. Maybe they weren't able to produce any legal proof of it, but they clearly saw something, and there is nothing racist about them calling out this behaviour. This practice is not only unhygienic. It is ILLEGAL in Canada; so, it absolutely should be called out publicly to prevent it from ever happening again. I have seen many videos about the culture of mass open defection in India. The videos I saw were posted by Indians themselves. One of those videos was a TEDx talk done by a woman named Sangita Vyas who discussed the truth about open defecation and that it is not limited to only the poor population. Even people who can afford to build latrines are not using them, and she explains why after interviewing Indians to ask why. I've watched Indian doctors talk online about how many Indian children die from something as simple as diarrhea every year as a direct result of the water contamination caused by open defecation. So, clearly, open defecation is legal in India, and perhaps some of these people think if it's legal at home then it must also be legal elsewhere. WRONG. It's illegal in Canada. It's unhygienic. It should never happen. Period. And there is NOTHING racist about a Canadian saying this out loud and reminding people that they must follow the rules and laws of the country they are in.

I don't care what anyone says, but Indian people, particularly (Punjabs) don't like to mixed with other cultures at all. They don't integrate with the Canadian lifestyle. They don't worked very hard, they are rude, they have no respect for other nationalities, racist as fuck, and the list goes on. I have been living in Canada for 34 years and I have never once felt isolated. Now, I feel like Canada has become India. I'm sorry, Trudeau have turned this Canada into a 3rd world Country. I missed Canadians! I don't have an issue with immigrants at all; as I am an immigrant myself from the Carribean. However, I have always respected Canadian culture and their laws. I'm sorry, India is the number one hated Country on the planet as we speak. England, Australia, & many other countries are not allowing Indian students to enter anymore. The proof is in the pudding! They are just bringing all their bad habits wherever they go. So it's not only Canada that's fed up, there are lots of Countries that cannot stand their attitude and erratic behavior. They have very low standards if you ask me.\n\nI can't wait for the day to see Canadians working the fast food &service industry again. No offense, but I rather be served by Canadians than Indians. I don't have to put up with their rudeness lack of communication skills. We all have have our opinions, but facts and numbers don't lie. Deport! Deport! Deport! I am also fed up with what they have done to this once, beautiful Country! Thank you Mr. Trudeau! The number one hated person in Canada and the worse Prime Minister is the history of Canadian politics! Indeed sad and depressing to say the least!

TRUE A LOT OF YOUNG INDIANS HAVE TURNED TO CRIME,SCAMMING,CHEATING,AND NO MANNERS NEVER SAY THANK YOU OR PLEASE EXCUSE ME! NEVER ?

Too many immigrants, from any group, changes local demographics which is becoming a real issue. Stay home and build your own country. I'm sick and tired of walking down the street in my town and hearing loud foreign voices and languages and sorry to say, it's mostly Indians!

As an American and also a half Indian myself, I hear this guy . I have friends in Canada and they complain to me about the same thing. One of the things is that Indians refuse Canadians job positions because they are not Indian. How can u Indians refuse someone a job in their own country? And another thing. Changing Canadian culture just like he said. . Canada has a right to their own culture. U people cannot do that. U live in Canada not India. India has its own culture as well . Sadly to say u Indians brought the racism upon ourselves.

Indians from outset is suppose to be polite and adhere to them, no questions asked. Suddenly Indians have been empowered and doing good in their life and asking back questions. Which few people don't like, all these are consequences of Indians giving back. No one knows what would happen in the future ???. History says Indians giving up ???

These are east Indians coming from the UK. They had US visas from the UK. What is Canada to do when they are in transit passengers from the UK and given fake or real but seems fake US visas. All international intransit passengers dont go through customs at their stop over country. Its an international fact. The East indians knew that if they boarded their flight to the US they would get sent back to the UK and hence India so they decided to illegally cross our border. Canada could not have prevented this. But now that we know this is what they need to do , we along with the Americans should step up our security. They could be terrorists. For decades we lived with a non secure border now foreigners are fuc**ng with our safety. India take some responsibility. You boast on the world stage and scold others, well what do you have to say now. Canada and America should tax India for the time and resources they have had to use since Moody says India is the 5th largest economy and they have money. Please if you want to come do it legally.

My nephew is also an immigrant in canada...she says that other immigrants and canadians dislike indians because they smell foul and dirty in public places aside from being so noisy. Nevertheless, she says that indians are kind people

Im from india and had visited canada from my work for a month. I honestly felt how many indians acted in Toronto. They acted unruly, shouting in streets, throwing garbage. Truly sorry to say ilbuy ill day this, prior i felt african heritage inmagrants i expected to do this, but it opened my eyes. They behave correctly in public places, integrate with local culture. Im so sorry africa. Boy my own countrymen were disgusting

Im Anglo Indian (mixed race people of English and Indian descent, most of my people worked for the British Raj but that’s besides the point) these people are the most repulsive people Ive met, stinky, and dishonest, not saying all of them are mad but i’ve known some who visited my house and think they own MY house and trashed it. Sheesh

Hindutva always say their country is so great all Indians from everywhere should be sent back to India being such a great country.

Indians gotta go \nout out out dont come back ever\nas a born canadian indian no offence u have ruind the rep in and out disrespected the genereration of large number of great strong motivated Indians that came b4 you fools and they embrased being canadian... adapting to the freedom and culture .... unlike u bad batch of apples that over saturated all ends ...thanks 4 nothing finnaly to many of u ...i can say goodby f offf

You are absolutely right. Some of the recent Indian imports to Canada and US are totally unsuitable to reside out of India. Their behavior in public, lacking civic sense, lacking sense of hygiene and lacking politeness. I have lived in the States for 50 years. I have never experienced racism ever. I dont blame Canadians or Americans for being fed up with Indians. Unfortunately some of the new arrivals from India never got the opportunity to learn the etiquettes that the Westerners are accustomed to. They don't care and don't even want to learn. The saying 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do' is completely foreign to them.

funny how no one in comments say why this indian guy wants $20 extra tip.

Just say Indians ruined it

99% is indian not only studend and so funny its the continent of amarican agents indian so the worst is yet to come the are menny countries that more closer to canada but those youth dont get a chance to get into a university and these people buld canada and the amarican but the world have changing because there are two mouch youth from the container of amarica dont get the up liftment that the two grtest countries of the amarica develop other continent so this hate that was place upon indian student if not from the government of canada but the the citizen from countries in the amarican remember the jobs that the Indians are doing for cheep the countries usto benifet from those job so it becomes political because lot of the nabour of usa and canada dont want to even do businesses whit us and canada so to make it easier for peoples to under what i am trying to say its immigrants hating immigrants

Indians are Involved in CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES, our Canadian HR Recruiters are All Temp Indians and hiring only new comer Indians, Everywhere its Indians working,.There is a saying Hr Recruiters Indians, Indian Managers and Indians agents that are involved in Money Laundering taking commission fron temp Indians to get employed, therefore, all the job sectors are all Indians. these time, during Boxing day,only Indians are buying,because of good earning working 50/60 hrs. And Indians are robbing private houses,drungs and weapons arm dealers, fraud immigration,fraud license,car theft,all are Indians.

Scammers, dirty, stinky, don't simulate, not all of them but most, taking jobs from Canadians. Canada went dowhill when you started coming in big numbers. I have a to say I met some nice and decent ones but not many. This is Trudeau fault not Indians..

the people who are leaving should leave immediately Canada has no jobs no affordable housing and offers nothing and I am saying confidently zero zilch even in bigger urban center's like gta and forget about it completely in other areas outside like n.b pei zero acceptance and zero jobs only white people who are increasingly weary of Indians bringing their filthy culture of strong smells and questionable hygiene to the country stay out for ever no one is waiting with open arms crack down should be like how trump has promised for u.s
