When any tourist go to Sri Lanka after touring India, he or she realises how chaotic and filthy most Indian cities are. Other than inside metro trains, Indian roads are just filth dumps. Shocking to see the state of cleanliness of tourist attractions like Mthaura, Vrindavan etc etc. On top immigration officials in India seem to think they are doing a favor for the tourists who are coming to spend dollars and know their country!! There's complete sense of apathy and misplaced over confidence! Countries around India, like Sri Lanka, Nepal are way much better in cleanliness and other behavioural aspects !!

Reason,if you talk to indian ,ge will boast ,about india but in the mean time every indian like to run from india.if yiu go to europe,canada,Australia,ameruca they flooded tgese countries.now tgey dont want indians ecen tgey floided the middle east.

India should stop trying to go to the moon and take care of domestic poverty. There are Indians in almost every country in the world for economic reasons.

Indians lie. They go to Canada in the pretext of being students , but they actually go there to work that too illegally.

Indians are unwanted everywhere they go. I think it makes the answer to your question obvious. ?

shame on you ! putting dust in the public eyes is far more dangerous than harming a person. Why First post have fear @Palki Sharma to show Indian real face? Put your camera down in any country, Name it : Germany, Italy, America , Canada, Australia, Newzeland, Hungary , Amsterdam, UK, Scotland. Palki sharma jist name it and put your camera on ground and do the survey. You will feel Indians are world 3rd country Parasites in these countries. Why Indians fail to show respect and basic hygiene when they are in abroad? Specially Punjabis ! Have you smell them ? Not taking bath and roaming on the streets with bad odour leaves permanent mark on other Indians reputation.(by the way i am from amritsar and a punjabi). NOW WORLD IS KNOWING :- Indians believes that they cannot benefit unless someone else is harmed. This is Indian culture at its core and white people are also knowing this. If India is that great then why Indians are leaving ? If your culture is that superior then why you want to go to other country ? Enjoy your superiority. Accept the reality . TRUTH IS BITTER

FRANKLY SPEAKING THE VARIOUS COUNTRIES YOU HAVE POINTED PUT WHO REJECT VISA APPLICATIONS FROM INDIA ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT WELCOMED SO WHY DONT YOU ENCOURAGE THESE INDIAN PEOPLE NOT TO GO TO THESE FOREIGN COUNTRIES?????

The reason is that some Indian finds it difficult to integrates.\n\n I know one Indian lady that have lived in one country for over 20 years and the lady cannot speak the language of that country. What a shame! \n\nSecondly, many of them like to dominate or discriminate against other people. It has been alleged that some Indian people discriminate against others in many places they work. For instance! Where their people are in charge in Canada, they will not offer jobs to none Indian. They preferred to give the job to an illegal immigrants from india than to give it to someone else who has complete paper work. \nThe video is on YouTube. \n\nIllegal immigrants from India protest boldly in Canada asking government to give them papers but reserve is the case in India. If an illegal immigrants is found anywhere in India, the name of that person is sorry. Too many foreigners are in India prisons for minor offence or immigration matters. I can go on and and on. \n\nVisa rejection is not a bad thing!!! Everyone must protest his or her own. \n \n\nIf it is possible, everyone should stay in their own country. No movement. Do business with your own people. No international business!!! \n\nOur ancestors survived without others, therefore we can survive too. \n\nI know many people will not like this comment but it is an opinion. \n\nI still like India but will not live there. Good luck to them. \n\n\nIn my view their ascent contributes to numerous visa denials. Let's say 10% . Then 30% is forgery. It has been alleged that some of them do too many documents forgery to get to Canada or whereever they wish to travel.\n Then \n10% is women maltreatment. (stories of rape etc). \n\n Finally, india is very big, they need to use their population as a tool for development. They have all it takes to be like China. 100%\n\nWake up Indian government. Look after your citizens or divide the damn country. It is too big. ?

A lot of Indians treat white people really badly. Especially when there is money involved. It’s now extremely common that people here hate dealing with Indians as customers of their business and will go as far as avoid it altogether. They will often relentlessly try to negotiate services, lie and say anything to get get their way, pester businesses until they cave to their demands and even leave bad reviews which they say they will change if you give them a good deal. None of this is the way things are done in Canada and that needs to be respected. Something kind of funny, I’ve heard many people say that Indians will often say they will refer tons of friends and family to a business if you give them an unreasonable discount (which they never do once they’ve gotten what they want), but what they don’t realize is that referring a bunch more Indians to them is the last thing that business wants. And really, some of the discounts they want on things are just ridiculous. When I was selling my car a few years ago, I had it listed for $55,000 and I got bombarded by Indians offering $20,000-$25,000 and every lie under the sun of why that’s all it was worth, other people are saying yes to offers like that for the same car, dealerships are selling them for that much and so on. Like come on. And I guess while I’m at it, I hate to say but it’s a common thing here to walk into a gas station and the smell of body odour just hits you like a brick. I’ve stopped going to 3 different stations because of it. I’m sure there’s some pungent white people out there but damn. This is on a whole other level. It literally fills the entire building.

Modi hai to mucking hai. Why can’t you speak out the truth, under Modi India has lost it importance. You cannot fool the world by keep on repeating the fifth latgest economy where 90% are poor, per capita income is less than 1000 dollars if you take just the 5 richest person out. The domestic market has collapsed as the buying power of Indians are going down., under Modi the traitor the army is weaken the airfirce is weaken, the manufacturing is weaken, the rupees is weaken. Shame on the journalist they can’t speak the truth as the are afraid of repurcussions.

Weren’t you going to Oxford Union few months ago and saying that Indian passport is revered now at immigration counters around the world ?? ???

Indians are also responsible . Bad visa form filling. \nTraveling abroad to work on tourist visa. Escaping into illegal permanent stay into Europe . But yes, Indian passport should be the top 20 but it isn’t because our house isn’t in place. Basically we’re mostly good people but uncivilised , undisciplined , not all but many. Get India orderly first, clean, green, pollution free, corruption free… and if they still do the same it’s because we want to go there more then they wish to come here. Do something that makes them come here. Top quality cheap tourism, food quality, pollution free, reduce population, increase the female population , give equal rights to woman, judicial system in India sucks, court cases should be fast tracked, law should be simple direst and effective. So much for us to do, money is not the only thing that makes us get quality living. Only the rich get all this stuff…

1. TEACH CIVIC SENSE TO INDIANS\n2. TEACH HOW TO OBEY LAW\n3. ASK THEM TO LEARN TO STUDY AND GO BACK TO OWN COUNTRY \n4. DONT IMMIGRATE TO STAY ILLEGALLY

My Indian French madam told us.. Indians are sticky.. they don't want to go back to India once they land that foreign countries

Indians going to diffent countries not to visit, but to stay illegally.

because indians spoil everywhere they go . ban them

Indian should go to finishing school. They should rebuild there educational system so the youth shouldn’t go out of country for education. They should create jobs and opportunities so youth is not frustrated and don’t have go to other western countries and treated like a second class citizens. Have pride for heavens sake.

Indians are hypocrites. It costs an arm and a leg ($590) to be precise to get an indian visa from Nigeria and we are rejected alot. This amount is more than a schengen visa by more than half. Its crazy. I actually blame my fellow Nigerians that wanna travel there and i don't care for the reason. I rather go to Afghanistan that $hit-dia.\nYou guys are racist yet you mourn about racism.

Go and find the nearest railway tracks, Lift your Doti. \nOnly then are you truly Indian. \nBut visa rejected. ?

To get India visa they askyou so many question your great grand father was born in Pakistan Afghanistan on and on . No one come to India rather they go to Thailand Malaysa singapore . Indonesia . Indian passport officer have no knowledge how to behave in western country , they are rude and unhelpful. Buerocracy ever where .

In UK new comer from Indian are so rude and their behaviour is so irrational shouting, drinking, urinating , on the bus shouting never give any way to elderly a seat . Most of them have never ever been to even Mubai . Now motor bike going into no entery under take like In India . They are spoilig Indian name . People who are living here for decades are feeling ashamed .

Indians are too loud and pushy wherever they go. They need to learn manners of other countries before going there.

As a Pakistani, I understand that Indians, Bengalis and Pakistanis are considered by Europeans and Americans to be immoral. And it is also a fact that the people of these three countries of South Asia are extremely dirty and rude. They are not trained to eat, speak, or go to public places.Now, even in South Korea, Indians and Pakistanis are prohibited from entering clubs and bars. \nTherefore, the improvement lies in the fact that instead of earning wealth, one should first learn how to live.

I'm positively surprised how real and down to earth the Indians here are writing. Ignoring issues isn't going to help anyone.

Didn't Palki Sharma, this very lady go to the Oxford debate to say how great the Indian passport is and how we are praised because of it?... what happened now? What happened to India is great under Modi?

Going abroad is considered prestige! I think Indians should have spent this money in India!

Indian is rich people...thousand of indian go abroad nowdays...

What goes against India is 1) illegal immigrants and refugee applications from Indians 2 when they go abroad 2) poor or lack of civic sense, dressing sense or hygiene, 3) BJP is failing to project India as shining plus BJP has made India a living messy hell

Go to Israel your new friend ? maybe they need Indians?

India is the master of beaucratic maze. Try applying for a ration card in india?.\nThen look at the way we indians behave when we go abroad. Bad manners, littering, no courtesy or recognition of local norms of behaviour and always some dodgy money saving gimic.\nAs for being the 5th largest economy, this is because globally we have the largest population, the GDP is still that of a poor, developing country.

Thousand of Indian nationals are waiting Mexico border to cross. Indian foreign policy is damaging its own citizens fate. Modi govt only has good relations with Russia, Indian people can freely go to Moscow and join the war. Modi making India great

Because most of them don’t go back when the visa expires ……. That’s why they don’t give visa. Play by the rules Indians - visa finish, go home

Why would Indians want to go abroad? Isn't this viksit bharat.As we descend into the quagmire, this will get worse. Happy digging.

Palki ji i heard you saying that when Indians go abroad they're shown respect due to blessings of Mahamanav. \nNow both of your reports are contradictory I'm confused this Palki or Palki in yellow saree is to be believed. \nThis is happening to Indians coz media has stopped questioning Govt & speaking truth.

First of all ,Save India from Indians, our ancestors gave us the beautiful land and people destroying this..then they decided not to stop here going to foreign land, showcasing their insensible and unethical behaviour making the whole civilisation embarrased, not following the laws, disturbing other societies.. and holding fake proud of showing off ..and always blames the authorities who are doing good..whts the meaning of 5th largest economy and growing infratsructure if our country still hold 84th passport rank ..Plus an average indian with an uncivilised behaviour representing in foreign land responsible for embarrassment of 1.3 billion people..learn some civic sense and you wont be the reason for racism dont ashamed whole civilization think about our ancestors, respect the law, contribute in economy and be bring peace wherever you go..and thanks for contributing in foreign remittance we are 4th largest

Please also mention the complicated procedure that foreigners have to go through while applying for Indian Visa.

There is no money in visa free countries for Indian’s they are not going on holidays to Europe they are going to work illegally and behave as a 3rd world citizen…Rich Indian are who are on holidays or business they get visa for long periods. They will spend or invest. Sorry to say That’s the fact

As an NRI, I love rejection of chapri Indians. These people bring bad name to the country when going abroad. Only qualified Indians who behave properly need to be accepted.

hahaha... Simple answer... How many Americans ( out of 300 milllions ) want to migrate to INDIA by any means vs ~1,600 MILLIONS indians want to go to west ?

Why do you think Indians are entitled to go and settle in any other country? Moving to a foreign country is a privilege in exchange for giving back to the country. Indians land in other countries and try to Indianize them LOL and recently SCAM the foreign people

Indians should migrate to China instead. Call it silent invasion. You can help your government by going to China while your government doesn't improve in helping you.

No pne wants the Indians.. if india rejects visa.. no western country is going to care..

Some indians almost 45 Percent travel.abroad for jobs ...in that most of ppl go on tourist visa and try to get jobs or stay illegally ..due to that western nations curb immigration by stronger border controls ....better way to come out of this problem ...create jobs ,increase salary then only country passport index goes up

India Rising is without doubt the worst possible narrative being peddled by the anchor. It is far from the truth. \nA few already rich getting richer is not to be tom-tomed for a nation of 1.5 bn. \nBesides, if the country is doing so great why are Indians so desperate to get out. To go any country, the number of legal and illegal Indians outnumbers all other arrivals. \n\nNot to forget, the anchor conveniently brushes aside the visa abuse by Indians. \n\nIf there are so many with such stringent regulations, imagine what will be the case if there is freedom of movement. \n\nGet a reality check before reporting

Indians go to Europe via Turkey, etc and enter EU. These disgustimg people then burn the passports and apply assylum. Then Indian consulate refuses to acknowledge them as their identity can't be proven. They become like parasites ans change host after sometime

Palkhi as much as I like watching your news your views here need to address real issues. I am a proud Indian who has lived in the UK for over 50 years. However I have to say whilst there are a lot of highly skilled Indian immigrants on work visas who contribute immensely to this country. however we now have a huge community of Indians those who have come over on illegal documents or on holiday visas and then never go back. They end up working in menial jobs or not working at all and perhaps this is an issue India needs to address. Sadly these immigrants will never be an economically contributing asset to this country or any other country and I am not surprised that the visa rate rejection is so high.

Will you host a visitor who is disrespectful of the host? \nNo matter whatever narrative the government is selling to the world, it looks like it's not working in the favour of Indian, fakeness can only go so far.

There are too many Indians everywhere you go in the world, too many still trying to get out of India. Working in Canada at a fast food restaurant gives someone from India (Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow....) a better standard of living than a middle class living in India. States like UP, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan... still living in 18th century. Gujjus were the first to got out and then Punjabis and then everyone, they damaged the reputation of Indians a lot.

As an Indian, I support the rejections because the Indians that travel abroad do not know how to behave in civilized societies. They need lessons before going outside India. The NRI diaspora community is a great shame on India

Being a NRI living in the UK i have noticed a lot of Indians come over on temporary visas and end up staying illegally. And this practice is not just exclusive to the uk, i am sure it happens to many more countries where Indian people go. And also many Indian s to survive overseas will end up doing illegal things to survive. This could be a reason behind the spike in visa rejections
