Modi was rejected US VISA in 2025 for a reason. Stop the corruption and exploitation of the innocent. Improve the culture and HDI of the country. Focus on developing yourself. And the newsreader should learn the difference between speaking with confidence and arrogance.

I am an Indian, we were planning to go to Europe for a holiday. But the sheer number of documents they asked made me think otherwise. Now don’t get me wrong. I did my masters in France and I speak a few European languages, but this new trend of asking for my the million documents doesn’t go well with me. We cancelled our tickets. We will travel somewhere else.

Indians themselves to blame. In New Zealand and Australia they used to be professionals from India but now 4/10 working in supermarkets billing, getting the ? back, subway are Indians loud, speaking their mother tongue ..major culprits are Punjabi, Hindi, Telugu and behave badly, bought to think western woman are easy. Here they smile everyone, smile and walk away. ladies here have very poor opinion on Indian men. Where is the cross cultural training ? India should not allow passports unless people pass cross cultural training

palki speaks like an illiterate. what does the 5th largest economy have to do if it takes 1.45 billion people to make it.\n\ntake sweden or switzerland for example. what are the chances they will go to another country and stay there permanently and work illegally?\n\nif indians are allowed to enter without visa, no indians would go back after visa period expires

I've been to several embassies Western and other European Non Western embassies in India over the past 25 years and most of them don't allow Indian visa applicants inside the Embassy/Consulate. Some allow Indian visa applicants only at the entrance or only inside the gate not beyond. Others allow Indian visa applicants only at the gate and you hand your application and passport to the security. It depends on what kind of visa of course. If it's for tourism or a short term visa then you're not allowed inside. If it's long term then some embassies interview you so those embassies allow. But the embassies of those very countries in countries other than India are much more open and you can actually go inside the embassy and speak to consular officers etc. In India in most Western embassies and even some Non Western embassies you cannot do that unless you're applying for long term visa or immigration etc.

I have been able to visit Vietnam, Nigeria(office work) & Bali . Not much compared to others I agree. But the behaviour of Indian Language speaking Tourist in these countries is really really horrible. No matter how much these sold out News Anchor or our leader peddle false narrative that Indians are respected our passport etc etc. Indians are least preferred cause of the attitude issue. Even Nigeria whom we mock cause of look and color are more decent than us. Indian deserve this.

Indian news, and particularly your commentaries, are just nationalistic rants. You need to speak the truth and explain the real reasons why Indians have a hard time getting visas for Western and developed countries. The largest number of illegal immigrants in the US, Canada and Western Europe are Indians. Many Indians have no intention of returning to India. You should at least mention this, but not even mention this factor shows you are just tightening nationalistic sentiments,

You seemed to have conveniently missed a few more main points. We, Indians, put ourselves down.\n\nThey are;\n1) Out of 100 Indiands traveled abroad either for tourism or business, only 50 returns home, and the rest try to find jobs to live there.\n\n2) Many Indians forge documents or produce fake documents to get visas.\n\n3) Where the Indians go, they bring pan and pan parag items and spit sll over the place, especially the North Indians. South Indians are much better.\n\n4) We, Indians, can go any lower to get a job abroad at low pay. So, we put our own grades down.\n\nThere are numerous examples I know of. Let me cite a few below.\n\n1) In one of the Western countries, a few years ago, a real Punjabi brother and sister who staged fake a marriage, got a marriage certificate, and other documents only to migrate there. The government eventually found put and deported them.\n\n2) Canada deported a few hundred Gujarati students when the US border security found them not speaking in English. On investigation, it was found that they all came with fake IELTS certificate.\n\nThere are many incidents we get to witness the day after the day. So, we can't blame other countries. It's us who made us very cheap in the international market. Because of those Indians, the entire innocent, honest, and talented Indians community is affected.

They lack wisdom. They went to Canada, bought a whole business there. Then, they dismiss all employees n employ only indians who doesn't speak English. They created the backlash.

Indians needs a better vetting process to earn the trust of the world, it speaks volumes that even some developing African countries are more welcomed and trusted in the west than Indians.

speak about the caste borders and religious boundaries internally, before pointing fingers outside India!

You dont make sense... Numbers you r throwj g were always the same or worse...bjust speaking in heavy accents and using big words dont make the news factual

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.

Palki sharma is just english speaking sudhir chaudhari never accept the wrong things of indians in fact blame it on others ?

Speak about student visa also they are earning more money lol

Palki why not do some due diligence…research before wasting five minutes and 20 seconds on defending a position. The largest number of overstayers in the UK are Indians….not Burkina Fasosns or Cubans. West London has about 15000 students…who speak so poor English that one fails to understand how they understand lessons in English! They work as waiters at the wedding venues and fast food outlets. \nI found them doing the same in Sydney. They are 18 year old….if they attend any college…it is not a university..but community colleges! What higher education are they going to get there that wasn’t available in India. They don’t have funds to eat two meals a day and end up in Temples and Gurudwara everyday. They fill containers for the next meal too. Their public behaviour and lack of etiquette causes resentment in local population.

The real reason is fraud. Palki the great won't speak about that.

Whoever stands up and comments on anything to any country and its people making a bad image and the western don't tolerate this in fact they are in retaliation ...Which says no sound but hit .Media should start speaking the truth ...

Simply, barking inside a studio is not going to bring Indian Passport to the top ranking. This means that the people are misusing the passport and not returning back to India. The Govt. is to be blame here for the worst ranking of India's passport. Speaking Sigma talks and speaking in front European media won't bring any rankings higher. MEA at it's worst period.

India does have a large economy,but is that reflected in the living standards of people across the nation? In its infrastructure? In the way people carry themselves? Or people from India moving abroad in search of work? … of course the economy is due to the the largest consumer in the world being the worlds highest populated country. But ratio of the gdp versus the population speaks volumes….

First reason because of Frauds.. Specifically from Andhra, Telangana and Gujarat.. Full of every possible fraud.. AP+TL = IT Fraud. Guj = Every possible other fraud. Second Reason, greed and lack of talent, the moment someone gains a bit of experience, they feel that they are the best in the world. Just Couple years exp wants to get a million dollar job. Third, Communication skills - Cant even speak with proper grammar but wants to immigrate !

Indian govt must grow some kahoonas and reciprocate the same conditions and hoops for tourists from usa, UK, Australia, nz, Europe that are subjected on indians. Its incredible how foreign tourists are allowed to do other things and get away scot free. Bjp is celebrating us soil in Bengaluru which speaks volumes of their commitment to indian pride and hypocrisy. The least india can do is ask for the visa fees back or atleast part of it. With a failed judiciary, corrupt real estate, benami rule, failed police , failed education, children are being born into state and central debt. Who is going to pay for the endless borrowing ? No sane aspiring youth would choose to live in this mess.

From all the Developed English speaking countries around the world UK, NZ, US, CA, Australia is still the best, Cleanest, environment cleanest street's, least homeless, least crime, least drug use best weather, work life balance and retirement system but unfortunately still expensive housing.

Speak my Brother

India is a country of many culture and different language, do not generalise every one as Indian, certain section of the people are causing the nuisance here and they are speaking very loud in the bus, in the restaurant they do not follow the hygiene, it's just a section of people coming from India in masses...

INDIANS WILL TAKE IVER CANADA - YOU WHITES WILL BE SPEAKING HINDI, PUNJABI AND GUJRTATI

Speak the truth my brother. I live in the UK and refused to go to any other EU nations or for that matter Dubai NZ Australia etc. What's wrong with Salvador Brazil, African nations, the Caribbean and Latin America? Until we as black folks decolonised our mindset we will continue to think and act slavishly to be bemusement of the Muzungus.

Indian and chines If they have power they show ricstly again othere Immigrants, One of them was me , I contacted immigration a lady from india was speaking as agnet, she ansult me so I closed the conversion immidatly she was very rudy,

Education matters . Even if you live in Developed country or speak English doesn’t make you gentlemen.

Thisnman is not a Christian for sure. He believes in hate ...speaks like during the third reich... And some of comments says that he speaks truth ?...shame on u angry people. Peace for all. Any color, any race . God please bless and save humanity.

Students with expired visas should go back. But what is Canadian culture? Is it found in Quebec? Alberta? Or the Reserves? What is it exactly? Do Canadian Immigration documents require applicants to sign they will convert their religion or culture after coming here? If you would change your culture upon entering another country, good for you but you have no right to expect that kind of inauthenticity from other people. If someone changes who they are and their culture upon entering another country then they are not as real as they portray. These are the type of two faced people that can also switch sides to help your enemies if given the chance to. And the truth is no matter how much people 'assimilate' here, people with even an ounce of racism and colonialist ghosts in their head will always first see the color of their skin. I worked at a Polish Grocery store and came across a man who's lived here for 30 years and spoke 10 words of English. All they speak at that store is Polish. I loved working there but I don't see anyone making a video about European immigrants retaining their culture.

Speaking of adapting to the culture of the country you go to, did white peoples adapt to native culture or even respect it??? They call the natives “ savages”.

You don’t even need to be able to speak English to get a drivers license.. blows my mind considering all the street signs.

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!

Indians have changed the lifestyle on the ground in canada. They feel relaxed and as if canada their country. They speak urdu everywhere and just help each other and they bought half of canada. Why we dont bring muslims they are way better and they adapt to canada. Indians will never adapt and have changed the canadian culture thats why we are running. They just work and talk about money no life and have made rest of population depressed with their smell and attitude. Get them out now. Get arabs and latinos and free palestine.

SPEAK ENGLISH SARRRRRR...ALSO DON'T REDEEM MEE ... ???? IM GEORGE WASHINGTON CALLING FROM MICROSOFT ????

And who was selling a massive amount of FETYNAL enough to kill every Canadian 3 x over was a Middle Ages Indian lady running a drug gang imp that is all over Canada. They are employed at the border, do the trucking, now work in every fast food joint, store and don’t even speak English. Like they weaponized this term of being racist if you don’t comply with your culture, livelihood and country being eradicated

wake up Canada! GET THESE PEOPLE OUT! time to speak up and take action

I’m an immigrant myself came to my country of choice legally never changed my permits worked hard not trying to game the system… became a citizen the legal way and assimilated into the country respect the laws pay my taxes don’t expect a handout speak the language and end up grateful for my situation.

Yes I was, after Trump got elected no. Disabled human rights are horrible here and as compensation for lawsuits can be capped in cases that is unlikely to change. I should state the government had to pay me $25,000 dollars for violating my rights (this cost me $35,000+ in legal fees!) so I know of what I speak. It was the same when I moved provinces. In terms of mobility my fate was better in the 4 third world countries I visited after my stroke, there are no busses in loads of places here as we can’t “afford” them. Also I should state the government tried to make me site an NDA that would not allow me to state their behaviour, this should be illegal where government money is concerned! On to health care…. Why do disabled people struggle to get a family doctor when they move provinces? Also why did the mother of a Ukrainian disabled kid have to go back to a country that had been invaded to get help for her child that was having convulsions? She got no help here and her child was in our system by then and her husband has been paying taxes since I got him a job here 3 day a after landing. Yes there are a lot of good Canadians but this situation has become much worse and Canadians are masters at ignoring things. There is a Ukrainian flag flying from my cabin not a Canadian one. We are NOT the 51st state and will never be but I’ve been made to feel betrayed

topics to avoid anywhere; politics, religion, your finances, your sexual orientation. inquiring about any of these topics is considered beyond rude and say more about you than the person you are speaking with.

Indians should learn to speak in English in a public place where they serve the public. And bro well said, they don't have any manners towards customers especially towards immigrants. Pathetic.

You sound just like a clown, costumer….is that your actual accent, sound like you can’t hear how English is spoken and you’re speaking English ?

More ppl we would have to accommodate… 2% probably speak English so we would have to leave Spanish to you guessed it accommodate them … I’m all for helping but we have our own problems that need to be fixed before even allowing others in here

You speak well. Well cultured. Good age to move.

This man has the balls to speak up for his country unlike the politicians. Oh i forgot... Muslims are in the European government now... Europe should worry...

Sarcastically speaking... way to keep harm, unreasonableness, & the scam going; eh?\n\nsmh

Trudeau sound & speaks like a ?

Can’t stand Trudeau’s breathless way of speaking & high, girly voice

What makes you think that all indians speak that way?? How ignorant can u be....
