I didn't expected you to answer this question honestly😱...but now I am a happy person🥰...Thanks a lot for all your answers and your love towards India...and also hope you are doing good after Covid😊.
Brilliant answers! 🙌 Your coverage of Gujarat inspired me so much, and completely understand why Rann of Kutch is one of your top choices. You look so much a part of the landscape in ethnic clothes on the salt flats that I remarked to myself "Gypsy Queen" (in a completely positive way as a world traveller). There is well established genetic connections between the Gujrat-Punjab area to Southern Baltic states (your genetic ancestral area), this not so odd because the land in that part of India turned arid & people emigrated out of there in antiquity and came to be the origin of all true gypsies in the world, even their music & instruments such as the origin of guitar was introduced to the various cultures of the world. You are absolutely right, "city planning & waste management" went by the wayside over thousands of years of foreign invasions, for a civilization, "HARRAPAN" that invented these 5000+ years ago. Even London & Paris at their height of civilization lacked indoor plumbing till the 18th century! What did you think of Dholavira - the Unesco world heritage Harrapan city at the Rann of Kutch? You were so articulate and honest and accurate about all your other answers, including women safety, the people's kindness & generosity & rape! 👍👍 I wondered about Bambi too, good for you and Bambi! I like to travel & have to jump through more hoops living in the US to make sure Newt is never alone! Have a great time & hope to attend one of your talks in Bengaluru!
Ivana has become so Indian that her three favorite Chinese dishes are the following: 1) Chilli Paneer 2) Paneer Manchurian 3) Schezwan Paneer There is a Dutch Bosnian film maker called Ena Sendiljarevic, she made a short film called Import about the life of Bosnian immigrants in Netherlands.
However, bribes are paid to get work done at most Govt offices( in excess of an individuals IT liability). As some sort of jungle justice, IT figures are fudged 😂😂.
You've got to be kidding! Here in Germany they get the last drop of blood out of you and will come after you for the last of tax Euros owed. With social security fees, they take almost half of my salary.
When you called India as similar to you Mother, you had me by your side ! Thanks Ivana for all the things you do. You are true Indian by heart and soul and wherever you stay in future, India or abroad. I would second you 200% that waste management, cleanliness, government education and transport improvements would be be best things to improve here! I try to do my part like I opened a library in my village with books of grades 11 and 12 so that young generation future can benefit from it.
that one line was the highlight of the episode, "Are you asking me to say crap about my mother".This shows that how much you embrace Mother India from the bottom of your heart.Many of us should learn from you how to pay respect and true emotions to our motherland despite of poking into issues which every country whether developed or under developed suffers.Instead give solutions to mitigate that problem rather than asking people such questions.Asking such question we are by ourselves legitimising that there is suffering in this country.Appreciate all the befitting replies you have given in this video...
Hey Ivana, I have a question. For your love for Bangalore, how much have you learnt of its history? Would you like to discuss some of the things about the history of this city that is generally not known, the good ones? Let me know.
I like the way you answer some repeated questions about India in your every Q&A. Wish I could develop such traits ✌️🤗 Looking forward for the newsletter 😀
Honestly i was hoping for u to make particular vlog on the things which u want in India to improve since u have travelled a lot in India and would be the best person to talk about the topic. Thanks once again for beautifully addressing the concerned topic
Ivana, it's an awesome video! Thank you for picking my question related to the possibility of you converting your second channel to an Indo- Dutch one. I never thought that you would pick my question. Honestly, it was a big surprise! Your reply to my question surprised me as well. But I really liked the way you gave your response. Communicating with you was great! Thank you and much love from Assam.
Very interesting video...I agree with you completely that waste management is a major (infact a huge problem) in India..While you have been very polite on the matter, as an Indian myself, I would say that public cleanliness is a huge problem on account of lack of civic sense among many people..Ofcourse there are a host of other issues but I guess all countries have their own problems..the western world while being materially advanced also has a host of issues of its own in the social sphere..you are also right that relationships and social networking play a very important role in doing business in India..relationships matter more than other things in Indian society and one has to be very social..That is also one of the reasons why family values are strong in India unlike the west which is a fragmented and extremely individualistic and selfish society..I feel that may be due to decadent materialism but that's just my personal opinion.. As for safety of women it's good to hear that you are fearless and know how to manage the situation..Also you have correctly mentioned that this problem is worldwide and not only in India..However as a well wisher I would like to mention that while we may think that we can manage the situation many a times it's better to exercise caution and avoid such situations..One never knows what happens despite our idea that we are well prepared to stand up to it..your point about food tour was interesting however I would like to know your view on punjabi food as I personally love it (though I am a South indian myself)..Great work and keep vlogging..also please get well soon..👍👍
Ivana ji what you said was indeed true that India is in need of better planned urban cities and management of waste, and hopefully India is heading to that direction but awfully slow in my opinion
I do not think there exists a generic karnataka thali . Try north karnaraka meals in Bangalore , Hubli or anywhere in north karnataka while visiting the UNESCO heritage sites Badami, Pattadakal and Aihole. You can also visit Bijapur, Gulbarga and bidar and belgaum . Take a train trip from belgaum to goa to view the dudhsagar waterfalls
Madam, Delhi has recently overtaken Bangalore in terms of startups and Delhi may be called startup capital. Also in Jaipur, the fort is Amer fort which is also called Amber Fort as mentioned in your video. Great blog 👍
Try coming to odisha . It's like a rarely mentioned hidden gem (state ) of India . It definitely will be worth your while . The temples the architecture just built different you know . Do your research and if possible do come visit it . You will be amazed , if not spellbound
It's sweet alwz, as u try to look for good as much as possible and it makes life appreciate more on everything u look at.. There will be good n bad alwz in all places but how u handle them n as u say know the boundaries will really make difference in all aspects of life... Good episode tho ☺☺. ..video title pic is nice good work 👍
In my opinion, India needs a lot of reforms in 1) Judicial Procedure...............That's too slow 2) Cleanliness................ India needs cleanliness ASAP 3) Corruption................. Unfortunately, more than 70% govt workers are corrupt and don't do their duties on time.
When you don't go to have coffee with a stranger in your country, why do you go to drink coffee with a stranger in another country? People with bad intentions are the same in the world, the only difference is the place and the way.
Interesting perspective on your experience living in India. Some women have said they felt uncomfortable or unsafe at times traveling there; however, you said you have not because you know how to draw your boundaries. Perhaps you could expand on this information to benefit others by providing examples.
Great video, amazing content!💖😍💖 God bless u and your family. 🌹💕🌹Thank you for making us happy and smiling...💖🌹💖Keep rising and shining... sending lots of Love and care 💖💕💖from Sydney, Australia.
What are you even talking about? I am a Tamilan in Bangalore. How can you change your identity!! It's what you are born with..we can learn the language but at heart we will always be the person who is identified with your own culture
India have tha world oldest cities that's why their plannings was not much according to todays era.... If the Explore some new devloping city like Noida u will stunn👍👍👍
Lol 😂 every one thinks same about their states so you can imagine what ever you want to in your own mind but leave others to their own opinions So just shut up don’t try to put your narrow minded thoughts on others with stupid titles like once in a life time nonsense
@@suneel258 come on, u're noone to shut up someone, Ist he is not forcing someone to visit his state, 2nd you're not Hitler that everyone would write comments according to you, 3rd It's his own opinion you're none to interfere in that.
I would see change that we Dutch legaly can buy realestate and have a second home there. I would like to buy and build or renovate a old farmhouse or haveli, i like historic homes. 🤗 Imagine more Dutch pensionado's can live in India then. More free business for Dutch people. The Netherlands should give Visa more easy to Indian people !!! My Indian friends like to visit me in the Netherlands. Also want to go on holiday to see The Netherlands.

12:40 very well explained . being a foreigner you've understood more about India than many indians. thank you...
Yes ❤️ Ivana is like beauty with brain ❤️ i love her. She really understood india very well and deeply, now she is more than Indian 😂

Government employees should be loyal. However first we as a citizen need to change. There is only 4% people pays income tax
actually less then 4% because only 1.5 crore ppl pay IT out of 140 crore ppl😅😅
However, bribes are paid to get work done at most Govt offices( in excess of an individuals IT liability). As some sort of jungle justice, IT figures are fudged 😂😂.

interesting perspective about rape cases in india and outside: that it is a womans integrity which is more sacrosanct in the indian society..
Your answer to the first question was spot on. Hope it improves, and thank you for the honest answer.
Roads quality, honest police, no corruption, monopoly, clean water and cities
I also have the same opinion about waste management and urban planning..
