- The Indian community in Germany is growing fast, especially in Berlin. How difficult is it to find a new home in a foreign country?
Germany is infamous for its bureaucracy - yet it remains a popular destination for many skilled workers. But it isn't just a good job in the IT sector that can make a strange land home - Amit Kamlapure and his wife Yogita find that it takes a village. A community of close friends, familiar foods, traditions, and festival celebrations with a flavour of their home country of India. Flights to the Indian city of Pune, their home town, are expensive - its not a trip the young couple, that moved to Berlin in June 2022, can make often. We follow Amit in his quest to make Berlin home - setting up his house, commemorating rituals he grew up with in Pune, preparing meals with his wife that remind him of India, and celebrating major festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights, with other Indian Berliners, a growing and thriving community. There are new joys in Berlin too - the couple has grown closer through setting up an independent house for the first time, they are learning the language to make Germany their own as well, and they are adapting to a slower, more thoughtful pace of life that they enjoy much more. We meet Amit just before his first trip home - and hear why such a long time away has not been as hard as he expected, after all, in his new home city.

Indians and Hindus are the most tolerant and talented people. Culturally advanced and modern approach in their thinking.
Really nice culture. Nice for us Germans that we are able to attract such great people
Would have been nicer to know what native Germans think of this growing diaspora. Hope there is no animosity and all of them are living peacefully together.
This is the immigrant we need ,who assimilate with others and not those who do riots and create chaos.
Great clip. These are the immigrants Germany and European countries needs. Well educated, motivated and they are willing to integrate and also share their culture. Wishing them much success I love Indian food as well
Indians are a peaceful communuty. Rarely do we cause trouble in foreign countries
I think we should not say that Diwali is the most important festival in the Hindu calendar. Instead, we should say that it is the most popular festival that is celebrated across Hindu communities.
Love to Bharat and Bharatis, from Israel
We are not forcing Hinduism to the Christian country neither disrespecting the laws of the country. Defenetly not a threat to local community.
Indian Hindus, Sikh,Christian, Bhudha, Jain communities are Highly talented And Hardworking 🥰💪🇮🇳
Indians integrate very well in EU. They don't demand separate law. Don't interfere with local policy and laws and respect them.
Not living in Germany , but worked in multiple German Client projects , It was really an honor to work with such nice Germán colleagues.
These are the kind of people Europe should welcome. Professional, educated and willing to adapt.
I work in a product engineering team and many of my colleagues are indian, they are very talented and friendly bunch of people :)
This is the Difference between Indian Immigrants and the so called Peace loving Islamic immigrants.
As an Indian guy in Germany, love all the respect the people have shown to us in the comment section. It's true man, we just wanna work, chill and probably make some curry that bangs!
Indian communities even in a million in Berlin will never pose any threat to the culture , freedom or religion in Europe. They peacefully coexist with native people and even mingle with them culturally. Unlike the other which even a presence of one ll threat about bringing their religion laws and convert Europe.
Proud of Amit ❤ for not leaving the roots & for being connected to tradition and people.
Indians are very compliant and reasonable! 😊
Wherever Indians go, most of them respect laws ,culture of that country...and for sure, presence of Indians will add richness in already rich culture of Berlin...
