Yes. India is much much worst for Anti-hindu and anti-India radicals. Offcourse, It's the Land of Sanatan Dharma which don't allow narrow minded colonists pigs. @@TheOnlyTruthTalker
@@Owleyes__ it is mixed i follow this channel from long time but not till subscribe because this channel have variety of videos but various are not my taste.
I like how her accent keeps switching between German and Indian English. And well, she's the kind of person who is absolutely grounded to reality. No sugar coating, no inhibitions. We need people like her to gives us a reality check from time to time. Really liked her no bullsh*t honesty and attitude. Some people may not like to hear it but need to hear it. All the best to her! And good find Max. Great video.
Phps I am wrong, but did she mention any occurrnces? Crimes of this kind are in Western European countrys not a novelty, esp. after 2015, e. g. in France, Sweden, Germany, etc.! Not in Poland, because they do not want these crp from known countrys.
grounded to reality u say, agreed with some of her takes that ex- mumbai being more safe than delhi etc but other takes i did not agree with "mumbai isnt spiritual" is she having a laugh. Lived in the city for a decade and didn't see the ganesh chaturthi that is celebrated for 10 days. "Terrible schooling system, rote learning, no thinking, terrible teachers, no freedom" rote learning is required in some topics n subject, not all subjects require critical thinking. whether u r in germany or india getting good teacher depends on luck. no freedom is usually cos of parents pressurizing the kids n not schools. "rich ppl have 6,7 cooks" thats exaggeration dont think anyone is wasting that much money on just cooks. i like how max responded to her by asking do u have help? lol. "crass differences, poor n rich r in every country but like sharing a wall" its good thing that we dont segregate poor from the rich western nations do that, which is why ppl dont assimilate well there. "i like to speak a local language" well mumbais local language is not hindi its marathi n she doesnt speak it. "only south bombay is pretty cos it has colonial buildings" what kind of a stupid thing to say
@@kaluludhianvi You are using the exact language you hear in Delhi. By the way I lived there for over 3 years. And you don’t worry about my manliness. Do something better.
@@aakash.pradhan If you've lived there, then what are you complaining about? There is crime in every city of the world with men being victims. Delhi is no exception.
@@kaluludhianvi Boss I have traveled across India. There are places far more dangerous than Delhi. But my comment was with respect to a tourist travelling in India. Delhi is not one of the safest places in India. I myself got almost robbed while entering a metro. And someone actually got robbed just standing before me again while entering a metro. These two incidents happened in broad daylight and within a span of 1 and a half years. Crime is common in Delhi. I don’t know much about Gurgaon but Delhi and Noida are not among the safest places. And there are other incidents that I can mention. Unnecessarily fights, road rage, gang-wars etc.
I'm an Indian living in Germany since 9 years. Thanks for showing me my "opposite". 😂 So interesting to see a German talk about her experiences in India. I'll share this with German friends 😄
Read this to know about our past and achievements. Ancient India's Achievments: 1. Brits say they gave us education. But, we already had ancient universities like nalanda, takshashila, vikramshila, and much more over thousands of years ago. 2.Indians had concepts of calculus before west like infinite series for pi, power series for sine and cosine, inverse tangent series, and much more. These series were made by Madhava, who was a medieval indian mathematician and astronomer. 2. Aryabhatta invented sine function. 3. Bhaskara II gave modern definitions of sine and cosine. 4. Sushruta performed complex surgeries like brain, cataract, rhinoplasty, limb, and much more over 2000 years ago. Surgery was invented in Egypt first, but we made many contributions to it. 5. Maharishi Kanad, a philosopher, proposed the idea of atoms in 600 BCE. 6. Brahmagupta invented the formula to determine the area of cyclic quadrilaterals. 7. Decimal System. 8. Binary number system by pingala. 9. Ayurveda. 10. Bhaskara I stated that at the highest point, the rate of change is zero. 11. Varahamihira predicted water on Mars thousands of years ago. 12. Sridharacharya invented the modern-day quadratic formula. 13. Solutions to quadratics. Modern India's Achievements: 1. Har Gobind Khorana synthesized the first artificial gene and demonstrated the role of nucleotides in protein synthesis. He also artificially synthesized coenzyme A and played a massive role in cracking the genetic code. I reccomend you watch and learn more about him. He shaped modern genetics. 2. Chandryaan 3 landing on the south pole of moon. 3. Mars Mission. 4. Sun Mission (Aditya - L1) 5. Fiber optics by Narinder Singh Kapany. 6. Jagdish Chandra Bose was one of the pioneers in wireless communication before Marconi and transmitted signals before him. 7. Discovery of millimeter waves by Jagdish Chandra Bose. 8. Discovery of cholera toxin by Dr. Sambhu Nath De. 9. USB by Ajay Bhatt. 10. Pentium Chips by Vinod Dham. 11. S.N. Bose made contributions to quantum mechanics like Bose-Einstein condensate and laid the foundations for Higgs Boson. 12. Quantum Statistics by S.N. Bose. Also, Boson particles are named after him. 13. G.N. Ramachandran discovered the triple helical structure of collagen protein and deepened our understanding of sickle cell anemia. 14. Ramachandran plot, which is a tool used to visualize which angles can amino acids take in proteins. 15. Venki Ramakrishnan discovered the high resolution atomic structure of ribosomes, which gives us a deeper understanding of how ribosomes manufacture proteins. 16. First DNA based Covid Vaccine. 17. Cervical Cerclage was first described by Sirodkhar. 18. Crescograph. 19. George Sudarshan was one of the pioneers in quantum optics. (Watch and learn more about him). 20. Microwave Optics. There are many more indian greats you should learn about. Examples: Srinivasa Ramanujan, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, C.V. Raman and Raj Reddy (one of the pioneers in AI along with McCarthy). These brits committed horrific atrocities against us and brought artificial famines, which killed 100s of millions of Indians. They also r*ped teenage indian girls and sold them to s*x slavery. They did the same with young women. This caused a spread of nasty stds. They also shot indian children with rifles and flogged them with their whiplash tool or whatever it is. Ps, we had advanced ship building industries and textile industries. They destroyed it. Not only that, Westerners teach you about these inventions, but never tell indian origins. Not only that, these people call us primitive, yet look at our ancient architecture.Many of our inventions were wrongfully attributed to Westerners. Also, I do not know why Greece is considered Western when their culture is nothing close to Western. They did not have a civilization of their own, so they had to appropriate Greek and Roman identity. If Greece and Rome did not exist, they would start calling Egypt, Babylon, and Sumeria as Western 😂😂. Well karma is a b**ch, anglos and other Western countries are on a decline, and I bet they will not even exist in the coming years because of immigration and because of their looted money they can last only so long, I will enjoy their demise.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, feels soo good. When they die, racism against us will decline becaue they cannot spread venemlus propaganda against India anymore, these bloodsucking leeches.🤣🤣
Bro. This Channel is Funded for Anti-india propogenda. How do you trapped into their fake interview. This is no wonder bcuz Now a days in india leftists journalists are rooted and funded from germany mostly. This channel only have Hindu-phobic and anti-india vlogs.
I am Irish and have lived in China for the past 16 years. The massive wealth inequality is similar here. Seemingly impossible levels of wealth and desperate hopeless poverty but I would agree that these two extremes are not living beside each other the way they are in India. Coming from Ireland with is a far more equal society it certainly takes some getting used to. I have been to India plenty of times and managed a business there for a short while, I struggle with it to be honest, India is difficult. I saw the most horrific rudeness from some of the wealthy towards the poor and it turned me off the country. Michaela is a very engaging lady with an awesome personality and the funniest and most interesting accent.
gosh! Ditto experience as Michaela! I've lived & worked in both Delhi & Mumbai. Sadly, Delhi was a tough one for me. Felt extremely unsafe and experienced unwanted male harrassement day and/or night, no matter where, just as Michaela described. Mumbai on the other hand was an amazing experience. Felt safe no matter what time of the day or night. Also loved the bohemian vibe of the city and the people there who just let you be. I really appreciated that. Hi Max, thanks heaps for this episode from a female perspective, from one who has lived in indian cities, has had first hand experiences of all kinds. Thanks Michaela!
@NavyaSagittarius My brother has had lived in Delhi for 3+ years and now living in Mumbai for more than 3 years. His opinion is same that Delhi has more rude people with bigger egos while Mumbai has people who usually are so busy, they don't care. People start fighting over a small scratch on their cars by another vehicle in Delhi while Mumbaikars do not usually start abusing/fighting over it.
As an Indian, living in Canada, I found myself transported back to my hometown through her perspective. She is so sweet ❣ Wish her a life filled with happiness and joy
I am in US for many years and no Down town is safe after 6 PM, Metro trains in DC, VA, MD, NYC, NJ, CT are also not safe. Most of them move into one or two train cabins and sit together. Even the ticket collector asks us to move into the cabins which are in front of the train. Most scariest places are Queens, Brooklyn, Down town Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis & DC. There may be many which i don't know or travelled to.
@@wonderingsoul8304 Nah mate its definitely not recommended to walk alone after dark anywhere away from the busy places.. Getting mugged is a big issue. Even in broad daylight.. And 1 thing I personally noticed is stealing of cycles.. Even with big heavy locks, you can't be sure.. But common people are more nicer, more honest and law abiding than India of course..
Not any part of the world is perfect and 100% safe . Yes some particular part of Baltimore and DC r not safe but this doesn’t represent the whole city. If you compare to Indian cities particularly north India, cities of America r much better. This is based on my own experiences as I do stay in both countries
Her comment on the Safety of Women in Delhi is absolutely correct Very long back there was an incident when a British Nurse came to New Delhi and took a taxi.She was raped and killed.The Scotland yard came from Britain and took over the investigation.They checked every Taxi and found a strand of Hair and nailed the culprit and then he was found guilty leading to his Hanging.This incident should the entire Delhi which happened very long back.
Maybe they're safe but from a North Indian perspective I can guarantee they're hella rude especially in TN when compared to North. Shopkeepers won't allow you to sit in their shops with your sandals on in case you get stuck in the draining sun. They'll treat you like garbage if they come to know you're not a local. They despise Hindi and Hindi speaking people in general. AP/T'gana and Kerala are more relaxed but TN and K'taka are not at all. Talk about safety, you must know all major national media houses are located in NCR and it's way easier and cheaper for them to report incidents from around this region and hence the stereotype. Nobody's going to Chennai to report a molestation case, that won't bring them views especially if it's against the stereotype. You'll only hear news about incidents involving their bull fighting tournaments because that's an acceptable negative stereotype concerning South.
@@AdityaRaj222 Yeah its definitely not absolutely safe for north indians, but for foreigners id say overall South is more safe. Also, i lived in chennai for a while and most tamils are completely fine with north indians as long as they respect the tamil language and actually speak it, unlike some migrant laborers who come to tamil nadu not knowing a single word and expect the native tamils to speak hindi to them which is completely bullshit. In fact many of my tamil firends praised me for my proficiency as well as some shopkeepers as they are only used to migrant laborers knowing like 5 words in tamil, which is why i think the stigma arised against north indians because it is indeed completely unfair to expect south indians to speak hindi to them in their own state
Bangalore ain’t safe either. I was in Bangalore 4 years back for New Year’s eve. I will never forget the scenes of eve teasing and sexual harassment of women done by locals when people were getting out of the bars late night. Only mumbai is safe for women at night.
excuse me its NOT india. I know we like to feel good if we get positive feedback and honest ones but it is true for her line of work and in Mumabai not India. Most of these people he interviewed are artists, and living in Mumbai only. Why? because its like berlin, i agree, all other places none of these people have lived or understand. Most of south is safe, safer than few western cities like paris or london, I live in west since a decade. Her education is totally shit, indian education is great, dirt I agree. Poverty is what she sees in Mumbai, and poorer north states only. Most of the foreigners want to be in north india because they get the feeling of multiculturism and poverty they were promised. Why arent many in south? you will find the answer there. She was wrong on many counts since they were HER opinion in Mumabai only. Anyway sorry for my ranting, i hope all of them have good time in india
@@CHAITHANYAkittaand shes not western shes from europe the west is associated w america germany does have good education london aka england is quite questionable and i live in london so ik
@@MrDnag88 i live in germany, frankfurt since 9 years i know these people. i know exactly the type of people who travel and live abroad and in places like brazil, india, china etc. You dont know what you are talking about!
This lady has better understanding of India than many indians like safety of cities, inequality in the society, stereotypes all are spot on…great interview👏
@@Maverick-zo4kc and why are you using a fake I'd with a false name ? Did you get triggered by the person who commented about a fact and used their real name and dp unlike yourself? Now that really amuses me Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
Really Really liked how her English accent showed a little of Indian accent. She may not stay in India forever, but she would carry a little of India wherever in the world she goes. 🥰😇😍🤩
What a great interview. A lot of what Michaela said resonated a lot with me. I'm German too - although from a different part of Germany - who has been living in Mumbai for a total of almost 11 years. My first year I had come for work, fell in love with the city (and my future husband :p), and later came back to marry the love of my life. If it's my choice I will never leave. I sadly also have to 100% agree with her on Delhi. Visited three times, never felt safe. The vibes are just off and as a woman you have to be on your guard constantly. You can really only safely live from door to cab from cab to door. It's really sad, because Delhi has so much to offer in culture and sights. Meanwhile, in Mumbai I feel confident to take an auto alone any time of the day, and not only that, I always get to pay by meter. Even when traveling around in India - and there are many many places I love all over the country - still coming back to Mumbai is truly coming home. There are few places I feel more safe, and I've traveled the world a lot. I have only two points where I have a different view on things. Despite having lived here for more than a decade now, I am still not willing to take help for my house. I know I should be giving someone employment, but I'm just not used to having someone regularly intrude my privacy. I just don't like it. Btw. my Indian mother inlaw too doesn't have any help for the same reason. So I'm glad everyone in the family has the same attitude on this even if we're probably in an income class where usually it would be 'normal' to have help. I understand though she has a kid, so it makes more sense she'll require some help as a working woman. The second thing I disagree on is there not being any spirituality in Mumbai. I agree, you can lose sight of it over the city's noise and bustle, but Mumbai offers as much or as little spirituality as you seek out for yourself and it can take many different forms. One of my first early spiritual moments in India was looking over Powai lake as the sun went down, dying the skies in gentle marmalade colors. Another moment was being enveloped by sudden quiet and serenity when unexpectedly finding Ban Ganga during a day of city exploration on foot. Later I found my regular moments of spirituality in going to the mandir with my mother inlaw, observing her doing the daily pujas at home, or just when I'm on my own taking time to read the Mahabharata slowly but steadily (even if sadly only just in English translation). If you want to you will find such little moments for yourself every day.
She's so well spoken and I just loved the fact that a foreighner who is actually living in India for a significant time starts to feel the same about everything that an Indian will feel who was born and grew up in India. She faces the same problems here like we do and has started to adapt that, ''it's what it is, we have to do something with this only''
If what this europ ean says is truth then the europ ean can get out of ind ia and move to europ e . what is this europ ean criticising ind ia for ? For all pro wes t ind ians who defend this european criticising ind ia, where were you pro wes t ind ians , when eu & usa are t argetting india for t rading with r ussia?these same europeans,her h ypocrite nation & eu leader ursula is t argetting ind ia with sanctions for t rading with r ussia .where were you pro wes t ind ians when usa and uk have been t argetting ind ia since ind ian independence ? h ypocrite pro wes t ind ians will support wes terners who abuse indians but dont criticise recent racial t argetting of lot of innocent ind ians in usa. usa & europe via nato t arget lot of innocent nations via nato for fake democracy but pro wes t ind ians wont criticise colonial nato. these pro wes t ind ians are modern sepoys who want to t arget ind ia but will glorify colonial europe and usa for t argetting ind ia like a h ypocrite. ind ia will never progress if it doesnt reject the hypocrisy of pro wes t ind ians. e uro c olonial h ypocrites like this European & their h ypocrite supporters in india can go to euro pe if they don't like india . Eu and usa is wrongly t argetting ind ia and ind ia doesn't need colonial Europeans or pro colonial modern sepoy ind ians criticising ind ia like a h ypocrite
India is not homogeneously uniform in any way. India is as different as European countries combined. It should be taken as continent and not one homogeneous ethnicity. Also, keep in mind it is a developing nation unlike west. Look at the per capita income. People don't have the money and hence some incidents here and there due to lack of education and opportunities. So using Indians as a common term for all itself is wrong just like you don't stereotype Europe for what is happening in Czech. India has a way to go kudos to west supporting china and pak after colonization, imperialism, looting for centuries and offcourse partition. It's far more complex than judging lifestyle.
No point in explaining that to these already paranoid foreigners. These guys calling Mumbai as nOt liKe iNdiA is the most hilarious things ever. All it takes is a mess of a city like Mumbai for them to get impressed. Imagine when these guys will go to 7 sisters or Chandigarh/Shimla, then they're gonna get cardiac arrests because of being impressed
Blaming others for your problems means you'll never improve. The area has been corrupt and subservient for Millennia. Worshiping Modi and lying about your history will not satisfy you because deep down you know it's false pride. You gained an empire because of all the previous empires there. You are not at all superior to others. You have looted yourselves with your caste system for Millennia and still do. But you can't face the truth as it's too embarrassing for you.
Indians have extra 'sense' to deal with the situation. We already know when to go where, at what time, and what places would be problematic. With huge population, we have limited police force, so right choice is to manage yourself instead of being free all the time. Also it depends whether state gov is willing to push strict laws. Its shocking that delhi the capital is unsafe, while there are thousands of places in india where one can roam free even during night.
@@skillage90 Many places in Tamilnadu, Gujarat, Himachal, even in north east. (Must be more, haven't seen entire india). In my opinion small cities are pretty safe, plus big cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad are mostly worry free even at night time. But again there may be shady areas, & also if state gov is willing to uphold the law. You might want to check the previous video of Singaporean living in india (though he has not shared experience of night time, he felt totally safe).
@@Bharat-V Definately not Tamil Nadu, know many people who have had bad experience in Vellore, Pondicherry (I know it's a UT) and some other places in TN
Well Delhi local girls go out to clubs till 2 am on weekends, so "feeling safe" is different than "actual safe". Delhi lost the war of perception with just one high profile case that was published all over the world for years, for example NYC and Paris are arguably much more dangerous than Delhi at night but people especially women don't care about that and dream about living there, perception matters for people.
I lived in a number of cities & visited many of them. They are kind of similar- same shops, same clothes etc. I think that Indian cities for all its plus & minuses are pretty distinct. Its neighbour, Bhutan is more distinct- the people dress in their country’s outfit. There is no Starbucks or MacDonalds- reminds me when I travelled in the 1990s. Now most of the world has macdonalised.
I'm always impressed by western women who come and live in India. Growing up, as a male (born and raised outside of India), i put up with the negative indian stereotype. It made me annoyed and insecure. For the longest time, i heavily disliked Indians for making others think I'm like that when I'm not. That's something people dont realise. Not everyone that's of Indian origin (or from there) stinks, is dirty or is a rapist. There are plenty of normal people, who go to work, volunteer in their community and are kind to others. You cannot judge 1.4 billion and other people of Indian heritage from stereotypes. That is wrong. Just like its wrong to judge other races from their stereotypes. Judge only people's behaviour and actions.

Mumbai is super safe, because it never sleeps. Locals runs (they are the arteries of the city) for almost 20 hours of the day. At night they have railway police in ladies compartment, so it gives safety even in late hours. Roads (main) are always flowing even in night. You can get cab or auto at anytime of the day easily and mostly it is safe ride. However everyone must take care of the safety. Understand the place before you go to the new place. keep in touch with someone at home, specially for girls I would suggest. This is applicable anywhere.
Yes but she cannot 1)help teach her help how to read or write?? 2) she can't pay this help much more than average??? Typical white people. Go to a country where life is easier, but instead of helping atleast 1 Indian person to gain a better position in life, they take and take and take. She can afford to pay this woman who could be her mother, a woman who has been helper since she was only o years old, she can pay her atleast $400 a month and change the woman's entire life. In Germany you think she would get such daily help for just 100 a week? HECK NO. She can afford to change this woman's life. I don't like her Wonderful for her that she manifests so much magically like she says, but that's not how it is for everyone. Ugh I can't
I admire her honesty, i live in Germany and i can see what she is talking about. India has its own problems but i hope she finds comfort and life that she has hoped for. By the way, India is changing a lot, and yeah, delhi and most northern states are not safe.
Been to Mumbai with my daughter in late 2023. We planned the trip for 17 days. We ended up leaving in 3 days. Frankly, it’s not a place where we would visit again
@@Zaheed-ip8mpthe problem is they don’t want to, when they move to Industrial area they would have to follow rules, regulations, need to have proper license and safety standards which is all missing right now. They work in such a hazardous and unsafe conditions, there earning maybe more but quality of life is poor. I feel rarely a person raised in dharavi would cross 60 age mark
Very true👍. I am an Asian living in Germany (for many years) and fluent in German. But I don't like the unfriendly, cold and selfish attitude of the majority of Germans. I am planning to go back to Asia next year. I am not Indian, but look Indian, brown skin. I would like to move to Mumbai alone. I like to get to know a new city and live there to try it out. I would like to get to know some genuine people there. I am glad Michaela managed to achieve her goals outside of her native Germany. I hope I will like Mumbai and the people will be welcoming towards me.
Now Delhi has less than 20% of Delhites living in delhi ....Delhi is filled with migrants from round the country...and its a wholesale market area so even illiterates who never been to school comes and get a job here...its overcrowded place...Sadly till 90s Delhi was great with so much cleanliness , no crowds , easy transportation when there wasn't even metro...good times!
I'm also German living in India and I can relate soooo much to what was Michaela saying. Was nodding the whole episode! Should visit Bombay more often I guess. 😃
I am Asian, living in Germany currently. But I do not like to live longer here. So I am planning to go back to Asia. I am not Indian, but I would like to try Mumbai. I am 56 years old and I hope I will feel safe happy in Mumbai. Could you please share some information about your experience of living in Mumbai? What made you leave Germany and move to Mumbai? Thanks 🙏
Ambala is a city in Haryana where i live. Trust me guys it is the best city woth highest safety for women. It is like mini India in ambala there are every religion people. We stay together and also we have very good tasty food here and also it is very very affordable city! Any foreigner can come over here and sttle after retiring from thier job. I dont wan to leave Ambala my whole life guys. I love Ambala!
I am an Indian and lived in 6 countries including some in the ME so far. I think India is as safe as any other country. Police in most parts of the world are inefficient but more people friendly. Not in the Middle East though. But in India, there is something that is clearly missing in other parts of the world....that is life! I love the hustle bustle in India that you dont have in US, Canada etc. People in India are surely more honest and that is granted to them.
Ive been trying to convey this very similar message since ages and it has proven to be a persistent challenge, especially among individuals in India who lack overseas travel experiences and find it hard to comprehend.
It depends on the person. Not everybody loves the so called 'hustle bustle'. Some may like to live in more peaceful sleepy towns if they have the choice. Large crowds, the noise and chaos may cause them stress and anxiety. Unfortunately, most people in India have no other option but to adjust to this way of life.
Many so called slums are a source of great production activities. The turnover of say the dharavi area may have a annual turnover over UD 1 billion. There are amazing people with amazing skills.
Amazing people with amazing skills?? Dharavi has a population of 1 million people, that means per capita output is only 1000USD, which is lower than Nepal’s gdp per capita
I really don't understand why foreigners always comes to delhi, jaipur, mumbai, and some slumy places of india like india is a huge country we have north east, Himalayas, leh Ladakh, whole south india, different cultures but they will always visit some some crowded places of india and after that they will complain about that how crowded india is they will order Very spicy food and after that they will complain about the indian food is so spicy. Means I didn't understand, I am tourist guide and someone come from west they will visit any part of india literally any part of india but instead of proper tourist place
Delhi being the capital of India and Mumbai being the financial and film industry of India attracts these foreigners for opportunities. Sure, they must be travelling all over India but for people of those caliber to come and work here, only few cities can offer them that. I am pretty sure the moment other cities across India are able to offer this opportunity, people will gladly come and live there. For example, with the recent IT Boom in Hyderabad and Bengaluru, now we have a lot of foreign engineers and managers are coming up to stay in these two cities. Most of the interviews here are with people who have been living and working here in India. Hope you got it now.
@@asitkhanda Yes you are very right bro but here I am talking about beautiful tourist places of india, Indian slumy areas are not tourist place, whenever you see vlogs of this foreign people they always visit this particular areas like Jaipur, Delhi and Mumbai and after that they think like yes we had explored whole India by visiting only this 3 places but we hidden gems like North east hill station, Himalayas, leh Ladakh, Pyongyang lake but they visit only this places after complaint against that. And yes Delhi is the capital of india and Mumbai is facial capital but these places have beautiful tourist sides but here also they visit some random places instead of some proper tourist place in this 2 cities
When the troublesome elements from UP, Bihar, MP, Jharkhand, Rajasthan overcrowd Delhi, safety issues are bound to arise. It's not Delhi's fault that these ganga states are so overpopulated & underdeveloped. The original Delhites have become a minority in their own city & roaming around in some Delhi market is not how you're gonna learn about the real original Delhi culture. What you would get instead is a taste of UP Bihar.
Max please don't get upset by some hyper nationalist comments....they are in their own zone....its just they love their country so much that sometimes it irritates them....but in reality they would one of the niciest people....we really want to improve safety of country like other developed countries like Singapore or other European countries....so this honest interviews really helps the individuals and may it reach the government as well.....upreciate your work max.....thanks i hope your videos will push india and force india to improve 😂❤❤❤
Loved the candid interview! I no longer stay in Mumbai. I agree that living in Mumbai can be aggravating at first but once you become a Mumbaikar, you change internally and start loving the city.
You have forgotten one thing that India is the most populated nation in the world and it surpasses the entire population of Europe. So no use comparing with any small nation of Europe. Its requirements are enormous like infrastructure, schools, colleges, houses, roads, vehicles and everything and one has to see how best India cope up with these requirements.
@@TheKoyna Please check the gini inequality indices of countries, India is middle of the pack, and plenty of rich developed countries like the US / China etc are worse off than India. It's just fashionable to say that India has "extreme" inequality.
Proud of being mumbaikar. We respect peoples space and less bothered about what they wear, the skin color, laguage they speak. They just blend in in no time
She got impressed by Mumbai & basically said that iT'S nOt liKe iNdiA. She's definitely not intelligent, if Mumbai is what it took for her to be iMprEsSed.
came across to this just two days before i am going to delhi as a solo female traveler. hope i don't have any negative experience over there as she suggested but gotta say, i loved this interview! she is so direct and honest.
As an Indian I would say- Delhi's culture is like the Bollywood culture and its 50-60% Islamic as it is a muslim majority city. In Delhi even Hindus behave like Muslims, its a very corrupted city. You can't expect women sefty there. You can always come to Goa or Bangalore -these cities are safe for women and always try to avoide go through a muslim majority area ,you'll be safe as a women.
british did not bring helps or servant culture.. you don't see that in england .. where as in India not necessarily rich, even the middle class people have helps! I read snippets of a book written by british officers in india that when they go back to england they are going to miss all these services!
Relax guys it's just the bombay shell that she is surrounded by because she works in bollywood even people from our country who have lived their whole lives in Mumbai think Delhi is like a warzone for women . But in reality it's as safe as you can be anywhere in the western capitals of the world . Ofcourse there are all kinds of people everywhere in the world and just like all other countries different cities have different cultures that doesn't make them good or bad it's just part of the package . So all in all India is a very diverse country on how different people would react to different things throughout the nation just learn a little about wherever it is that you are planning to going to .
These experiences can be subjective. Some women have travelled to Delhi alone and nothing happened but some have had bad experiences. Still, in general Delhi is still a but dodgy i mean even some local women feel unsafe at night in some parts of delhi.
Agreed. I love Delhi and travel quite freely in the day, people are helpful and it’s very convenient but the nights are definitely dodgy (Or maybe because I never had the guts to travel past 10.30 😅) Mumbai is amazing and I loved travelling there but it never felt like home like Delhi for me :)
@@pratikking2272Delhi has been overcrowded by UP Biharis Jharkhandis Bengalis MP Rajasthanis. The original people of Delhi who were Haryanvis, Punjabis, Northwest UPites are a minority.
I don't understand everyone says Delhi is not safe. But in US even small children are not safe in their schools. Its coming in news regularly someone comes with gun and starts shooting without any reason. And people mugged on roads is also very common. And they feel safe there. Strange.
All these people talk about delhi not being safe, even the Indians, I don't understand what are they talking about? I think it's just their personal experiences. Lived in delhi all my life & I'm from a small city. I love it.
As a woman just dont roam in muslim majority areas in delhi, n you'd be safe. lol. dont blame whole delhi. you'd be not safe even in UK or US when u visit muslim majority areas there. in west they have became no go zones for a reason. foreigners have this weird craze to visit old delhi instead of visiting new delhi, old delhi is super chaotic n mostly muslim areas there.
I went to a slum and I was like "wow" how do I understand this? Also when do you have to come to India to see a slum, I'm sure even his country has one. Slums of Karachi, Sao PAolo, Manilla are much bigger than those in Mumbai, it's just popularized by Slum Dog Millionaire, that's where the stereotype comes from But I would still not understand how is it exciting? Waht's this poverty tourism?
Hi Max, not sure where she lives in Mumbai, it is generally Rs. 1500 or Rs. 2000 per month in areas like Thane or Powai or Chembur if someone works one hour per day. 15 K to 20K monthly , is generally for 8 hour or 10 hour or 12 hour per day . Also something observed in all videos from India, these people first sarcastically talk of helper maid culture, but at end of the day they all employ them!! Just be sure helper is above 18 years.
As a Mumbaikar - though not living there right now - I agree with Michaela. And to let anyone who goes through these comments know - many Indians don't find Delhi and some parts of the North safe - please note I said SOME PARTS not all - lest I be criticised for being biased. Of course there can be dangerous places everywhere - even in Mumbai - one has to be aware of the surroundings. But then I did not come to comment about that. I was "distressed" to hear Michaela say Mumbai is not spiritual, unlike the rest of the country. That's not true. When I try to figure out why she says that I can only conclude it is because she is working in an industry (Bollywood and cinema) where glitz, glamour and wealth matter. Does not mean everyone there is non-spiritual, just that when you are working with deadlines, and many appear beholden to glamour one feels that way. Search within Mumbai and talk to the right people Michaela will discover the spiritual side of Mumbai too.
Only staying in India for 12 years she knows everything it's shocking. We Indians staying here from Childhood still don't know India due to its diversity. You westerners speak to soon.
I dont know at what time and where she was roaming in delhi..she said unsafe at any point of time.. thats not true..mishap can happen to anybody at anytime anywhere in the world.pls dont label it like that
I'm not from a rich family, but I remember sometimes my brothers and I would ask our parents some very honest questions in regards to poor people or poverty when we were small. Most often, the response was to the effect of "don't talk about it". That's not to say my parents were against curiosity or something, I think it's a societal thing where we tend to ignore these problems going on right around us because it's not proper to ask those kinds of questions. And I suppose the richer you are, the less you think about these things - but this happens all over the world. On a lighter note I love how "Indian" she sounds, her accent is such a melodious mixture of German and urban Indian English 🤗
You videos are really amazing....I have watched most of your videos.... I love the way you n the person ur documenting reveal all aspects truly!!!! Amazing
May be its more in Germany. But still we as Indians should make our society more safe to be proud off. Its not a matter of argument which coutry it is lower, we need to change this notion of our country being unsafe for women.
@@beyondimagination832 The statics is MORE THAN ENOUGH to prove that our country is safe... By the way why do you need to prove to other anything specifically members of NATO the biggest terrorist organisation which has bombed millions unarmed civilians?? Of course I am not foolish enough to expect that there will be 0 rape... But 200% sure we are 1000 times better than them...
Don’t judge people in India by their dress. People may look poor by their dress, but they are very rich. Even beggars in the metro city has more cash in their bank account
Having Servants is not a status symbol. She interpreted this not well.. It is necessity if you have enough money.. In India you have to cook vegies everyday, buy everyday etc.. It is a lot of work load if your house is big.. And they are competitive and easier than modern automatic machines..
She made insightful points how the native language being spoken by a westernized person is not expected. "they are used to colonizers" very good point and honest.
Bombay is not like other parts not only coz its so busy, polluted, multilinguistic.. But also no other city in India has 40% people living in slums.. My city Nashik just 150km of Mumbai has barely any slums.. And very relaxed..
@@JitendraPoochhwale Why some of us think like this? Yeah it means that most Indians think getting enough to afford food, some little rare education and shelter, let it be a slum is not being poor.. Reality is that if your monthly family income is less than 50000 Rs, you are poor. In india, 60% families have less than 20000 a month as income. Let alone keep the slums aside, many times people live in pakka houses but the road connection is bad, sewage flows as in open gutters, road is corrupt..

I like how her accent keeps switching between German and Indian English. And well, she's the kind of person who is absolutely grounded to reality. No sugar coating, no inhibitions. We need people like her to gives us a reality check from time to time. Really liked her no bullsh*t honesty and attitude. Some people may not like to hear it but need to hear it. All the best to her! And good find Max. Great video.
Thats why non-English vlogs are honest, unlike English vlogs that pander to Indian audience.
They tell what they observe without being fake.
If she sees your mom in saree or salwar, she would try to hire her as a servant. Like you said, we should all be listening to each other.
Phps I am wrong, but did she mention any occurrnces? Crimes of this kind are in Western European countrys not a novelty, esp. after 2015, e. g. in France, Sweden, Germany, etc.! Not in Poland, because they do not want these crp from known countrys.
grounded to reality u say, agreed with some of her takes that ex- mumbai being more safe than delhi etc but other takes i did not agree with "mumbai isnt spiritual" is she having a laugh. Lived in the city for a decade and didn't see the ganesh chaturthi that is celebrated for 10 days. "Terrible schooling system, rote learning, no thinking, terrible teachers, no freedom" rote learning is required in some topics n subject, not all subjects require critical thinking. whether u r in germany or india getting good teacher depends on luck. no freedom is usually cos of parents pressurizing the kids n not schools. "rich ppl have 6,7 cooks" thats exaggeration dont think anyone is wasting that much money on just cooks. i like how max responded to her by asking do u have help? lol. "crass differences, poor n rich r in every country but like sharing a wall" its good thing that we dont segregate poor from the rich western nations do that, which is why ppl dont assimilate well there. "i like to speak a local language" well mumbais local language is not hindi its marathi n she doesnt speak it. "only south bombay is pretty cos it has colonial buildings" what kind of a stupid thing to say
Her accent is isn’t German at all. At max it resembles American or Canadian!

If you are avoiding Delhi, then you're not much of a man.

@@aakash.pradhan If you've lived there, then what are you complaining about? There is crime in every city of the world with men being victims. Delhi is no exception.
@@kaluludhianvi Boss I have traveled across India. There are places far more dangerous than Delhi. But my comment was with respect to a tourist travelling in India. Delhi is not one of the safest places in India. I myself got almost robbed while entering a metro. And someone actually got robbed just standing before me again while entering a metro. These two incidents happened in broad daylight and within a span of 1 and a half years. Crime is common in Delhi. I don’t know much about Gurgaon but Delhi and Noida are not among the safest places. And there are other incidents that I can mention. Unnecessarily fights, road rage, gang-wars etc.
Indians need education
I'm an Indian living in Germany since 9 years. Thanks for showing me my "opposite". 😂 So interesting to see a German talk about her experiences in India. I'll share this with German friends 😄
In a big(ger) city? How are you doing/coping here?
Read this to know about our past and achievements.
Ancient India's Achievments:
1. Brits say they gave us education. But, we already had ancient universities like nalanda, takshashila, vikramshila, and much more over thousands of years ago.
2.Indians had concepts of calculus before west like infinite series for pi, power series for sine and cosine, inverse tangent series, and much more. These series were made by Madhava, who was a medieval indian mathematician and astronomer.
2. Aryabhatta invented sine function.
3. Bhaskara II gave modern definitions of sine and cosine.
4. Sushruta performed complex surgeries like brain, cataract, rhinoplasty, limb, and much more over 2000 years ago. Surgery was invented in Egypt first, but we made many contributions to it.
5. Maharishi Kanad, a philosopher, proposed the idea of atoms in 600 BCE.
6. Brahmagupta invented the formula to determine the area of cyclic quadrilaterals.
7. Decimal System.

12. Sridharacharya invented the modern-day quadratic formula.
13. Solutions to quadratics.
Modern India's Achievements:
1. Har Gobind Khorana synthesized the first artificial gene and demonstrated the role of nucleotides in protein synthesis. He also artificially synthesized coenzyme A and played a massive role in cracking the genetic code. I reccomend you watch and learn more about him. He shaped modern genetics.
2. Chandryaan 3 landing on the south pole of moon.
3. Mars Mission.
4. Sun Mission (Aditya - L1)
5. Fiber optics by Narinder Singh Kapany.
6. Jagdish Chandra Bose was one of the pioneers in wireless communication before Marconi and transmitted signals before him.
7. Discovery of millimeter waves by Jagdish Chandra Bose.
8. Discovery of cholera toxin by Dr. Sambhu Nath De.
9. USB by Ajay Bhatt.
10. Pentium Chips by Vinod Dham.
11. S.N. Bose made contributions to quantum mechanics like Bose-Einstein condensate and laid the foundations for Higgs Boson.
12. Quantum Statistics by S.N. Bose. Also, Boson particles are named after him.
13. G.N. Ramachandran discovered the triple helical structure of collagen protein and deepened our understanding of sickle cell anemia.
14. Ramachandran plot, which is a tool used to visualize which angles can amino acids take in proteins.
15. Venki Ramakrishnan discovered the high resolution atomic structure of ribosomes, which gives us a deeper understanding of how ribosomes manufacture proteins.
16. First DNA based Covid Vaccine.
17. Cervical Cerclage was first described by Sirodkhar.
18. Crescograph.
19. George Sudarshan was one of the pioneers in quantum optics. (Watch and learn more about him).

There are many more indian greats you should learn about. Examples: Srinivasa Ramanujan, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, C.V. Raman and Raj Reddy (one of the pioneers in AI along with McCarthy).
These brits committed horrific atrocities against us and brought artificial famines, which killed 100s of millions of Indians. They also r*ped teenage indian girls and sold them to s*x slavery. They did the same with young women. This caused a spread of nasty stds. They also shot indian children with rifles and flogged them with their whiplash tool or whatever it is. Ps, we had advanced ship building industries and textile industries. They destroyed it. Not only that, Westerners teach you about these inventions, but never tell indian origins. Not only that, these people call us primitive, yet look at our ancient architecture.Many of our inventions were wrongfully attributed to Westerners. Also, I do not know why Greece is considered Western when their culture is nothing close to Western. They did not have a civilization of their own, so they had to appropriate Greek and Roman identity. If Greece and Rome did not exist, they would start calling Egypt, Babylon, and Sumeria as Western 😂😂. Well karma is a b**ch, anglos and other Western countries are on a decline, and I bet they will not even exist in the coming years because of immigration and because of their looted money they can last only so long, I will enjoy their demise.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, feels soo good. When they die, racism against us will decline becaue they cannot spread venemlus propaganda against India anymore, these bloodsucking leeches.🤣🤣
This is so wholesome.

I am Irish and have lived in China for the past 16 years. The massive wealth inequality is similar here. Seemingly impossible levels of wealth and desperate hopeless poverty but I would agree that these two extremes are not living beside each other the way they are in India. Coming from Ireland with is a far more equal society it certainly takes some getting used to. I have been to India plenty of times and managed a business there for a short while, I struggle with it to be honest, India is difficult. I saw the most horrific rudeness from some of the wealthy towards the poor and it turned me off the country. Michaela is a very engaging lady with an awesome personality and the funniest and most interesting accent.
gosh! Ditto experience as Michaela! I've lived & worked in both Delhi & Mumbai. Sadly, Delhi was a tough one for me. Felt extremely unsafe and experienced unwanted male harrassement day and/or night, no matter where, just as Michaela described. Mumbai on the other hand was an amazing experience. Felt safe no matter what time of the day or night. Also loved the bohemian vibe of the city and the people there who just let you be. I really appreciated that. Hi Max, thanks heaps for this episode from a female perspective, from one who has lived in indian cities, has had first hand experiences of all kinds. Thanks Michaela!
Apologies 😔🙏

I am in US for many years and no Down town is safe after 6 PM, Metro trains in DC, VA, MD, NYC, NJ, CT are also not safe. Most of them move into one or two train cabins and sit together. Even the ticket collector asks us to move into the cabins which are in front of the train. Most scariest places are Queens, Brooklyn, Down town Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis & DC. There may be many which i don't know or travelled to.
India is safer than America. Look at how Indian people have been killed in America lately.
@@wonderingsoul8304 Nah mate its definitely not recommended to walk alone after dark anywhere away from the busy places.. Getting mugged is a big issue. Even in broad daylight.. And 1 thing I personally noticed is stealing of cycles.. Even with big heavy locks, you can't be sure..
But common people are more nicer, more honest and law abiding than India of course..
Not any part of the world is perfect and 100% safe . Yes some particular part of Baltimore and DC r not safe but this doesn’t represent the whole city. If you compare to Indian cities particularly north India, cities of America r much better. This is based on my own experiences as I do stay in both countries

Do yo really think the people who vote for free will do anything for safety.
Her comment on the Safety of Women in Delhi is absolutely correct Very long back there was an incident when a British Nurse came to New Delhi and took a taxi.She was raped and killed.The Scotland yard came from Britain and took over the investigation.They checked every Taxi and found a strand of Hair and nailed the culprit and then he was found guilty leading to his Hanging.This incident should the entire Delhi which happened very long back.
*There r exception , but exception are not rules *
Unsafe because of one incident? Then countries like Japan are also unsafe because of "some" incidents 😏
@@operator_zx5265 Though you state my quote may be exception but the general perspective of Women safety in Delhi and Bombay still stands.
Delhi is unsafe, not just for women but anyone who seems even out of place.
Gee, Indian police totally no self respect, allowed Scotland Yard to take over the case ? I am shocked and disappointed.
As a north indian, south india is way more safe like chennai, bangalore, etc.
Maybe they're safe but from a North Indian perspective I can guarantee they're hella rude especially in TN when compared to North. Shopkeepers won't allow you to sit in their shops with your sandals on in case you get stuck in the draining sun. They'll treat you like garbage if they come to know you're not a local. They despise Hindi and Hindi speaking people in general. AP/T'gana and Kerala are more relaxed but TN and K'taka are not at all. Talk about safety, you must know all major national media houses are located in NCR and it's way easier and cheaper for them to report incidents from around this region and hence the stereotype. Nobody's going to Chennai to report a molestation case, that won't bring them views especially if it's against the stereotype. You'll only hear news about incidents involving their bull fighting tournaments because that's an acceptable negative stereotype concerning South.
@@AdityaRaj222 Yeah its definitely not absolutely safe for north indians, but for foreigners id say overall South is more safe. Also, i lived in chennai for a while and most tamils are completely fine with north indians as long as they respect the tamil language and actually speak it, unlike some migrant laborers who come to tamil nadu not knowing a single word and expect the native tamils to speak hindi to them which is completely bullshit. In fact many of my tamil firends praised me for my proficiency as well as some shopkeepers as they are only used to migrant laborers knowing like 5 words in tamil, which is why i think the stigma arised against north indians because it is indeed completely unfair to expect south indians to speak hindi to them in their own state
@@plazmagaming2182 I get your perspective and that's kind of valid for any region.
You are Tamil, stop lying and embarrassing yourself.
Bangalore ain’t safe either. I was in Bangalore 4 years back for New Year’s eve. I will never forget the scenes of eve teasing and sexual harassment of women done by locals when people were getting out of the bars late night. Only mumbai is safe for women at night.
She's really ruthlessly brutally brutally honest. Nice find. Sums up India pretty much.
Thanks.
excuse me its NOT india. I know we like to feel good if we get positive feedback and honest ones but it is true for her line of work and in Mumabai not India. Most of these people he interviewed are artists, and living in Mumbai only. Why? because its like berlin, i agree, all other places none of these people have lived or understand.
Most of south is safe, safer than few western cities like paris or london, I live in west since a decade. Her education is totally shit, indian education is great, dirt I agree. Poverty is what she sees in Mumbai, and poorer north states only.
Most of the foreigners want to be in north india because they get the feeling of multiculturism and poverty they were promised. Why arent many in south? you will find the answer there. She was wrong on many counts since they were HER opinion in Mumabai only. Anyway sorry for my ranting, i hope all of them have good time in india

What a great interview. A lot of what Michaela said resonated a lot with me. I'm German too - although from a different part of Germany - who has been living in Mumbai for a total of almost 11 years. My first year I had come for work, fell in love with the city (and my future husband :p), and later came back to marry the love of my life. If it's my choice I will never leave.
I sadly also have to 100% agree with her on Delhi. Visited three times, never felt safe. The vibes are just off and as a woman you have to be on your guard constantly. You can really only safely live from door to cab from cab to door. It's really sad, because Delhi has so much to offer in culture and sights. Meanwhile, in Mumbai I feel confident to take an auto alone any time of the day, and not only that, I always get to pay by meter. Even when traveling around in India - and there are many many places I love all over the country - still coming back to Mumbai is truly coming home. There are few places I feel more safe, and I've traveled the world a lot.
I have only two points where I have a different view on things. Despite having lived here for more than a decade now, I am still not willing to take help for my house. I know I should be giving someone employment, but I'm just not used to having someone regularly intrude my privacy. I just don't like it. Btw. my Indian mother inlaw too doesn't have any help for the same reason. So I'm glad everyone in the family has the same attitude on this even if we're probably in an income class where usually it would be 'normal' to have help. I understand though she has a kid, so it makes more sense she'll require some help as a working woman.
The second thing I disagree on is there not being any spirituality in Mumbai. I agree, you can lose sight of it over the city's noise and bustle, but Mumbai offers as much or as little spirituality as you seek out for yourself and it can take many different forms. One of my first early spiritual moments in India was looking over Powai lake as the sun went down, dying the skies in gentle marmalade colors. Another moment was being enveloped by sudden quiet and serenity when unexpectedly finding Ban Ganga during a day of city exploration on foot. Later I found my regular moments of spirituality in going to the mandir with my mother inlaw, observing her doing the daily pujas at home, or just when I'm on my own taking time to read the Mahabharata slowly but steadily (even if sadly only just in English translation). If you want to you will find such little moments for yourself every day.
This is one of the most real discussions about India
She's so well spoken and I just loved the fact that a foreighner who is actually living in India for a significant time starts to feel the same about everything that an Indian will feel who was born and grew up in India. She faces the same problems here like we do and has started to adapt that, ''it's what it is, we have to do something with this only''

India is not homogeneously uniform in any way. India is as different as European countries combined. It should be taken as continent and not one homogeneous ethnicity. Also, keep in mind it is a developing nation unlike west. Look at the per capita income. People don't have the money and hence some incidents here and there due to lack of education and opportunities. So using Indians as a common term for all itself is wrong just like you don't stereotype Europe for what is happening in Czech. India has a way to go kudos to west supporting china and pak after colonization, imperialism, looting for centuries and offcourse partition. It's far more complex than judging lifestyle.
No point in explaining that to these already paranoid foreigners. These guys calling Mumbai as nOt liKe iNdiA is the most hilarious things ever. All it takes is a mess of a city like Mumbai for them to get impressed. Imagine when these guys will go to 7 sisters or Chandigarh/Shimla, then they're gonna get cardiac arrests because of being impressed
Blaming others for your problems means you'll never improve. The area has been corrupt and subservient for Millennia. Worshiping Modi and lying about your history will not satisfy you because deep down you know it's false pride. You gained an empire because of all the previous empires there. You are not at all superior to others. You have looted yourselves with your caste system for Millennia and still do. But you can't face the truth as it's too embarrassing for you.

michaela is so refreshing her genuine reflections of the country were lovely, great interview!
She has such a cute accent, it seems mixed between German and Indian accent - I really love it!
Indians have extra 'sense' to deal with the situation. We already know when to go where, at what time, and what places would be problematic. With huge population, we have limited police force, so right choice is to manage yourself instead of being free all the time. Also it depends whether state gov is willing to push strict laws. Its shocking that delhi the capital is unsafe, while there are thousands of places in india where one can roam free even during night.
Which places can?
@@skillage90 Many places in Tamilnadu, Gujarat, Himachal, even in north east. (Must be more, haven't seen entire india). In my opinion small cities are pretty safe, plus big cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad are mostly worry free even at night time.
But again there may be shady areas, & also if state gov is willing to uphold the law. You might want to check the previous video of Singaporean living in india (though he has not shared experience of night time, he felt totally safe).
@@Bharat-V Definately not Tamil Nadu, know many people who have had bad experience in Vellore, Pondicherry (I know it's a UT) and some other places in TN
I lived in TN for 4 years and pleasantly surprised to see many women in the morning hours of 3:30 am traveling, its suoersafe
Well Delhi local girls go out to clubs till 2 am on weekends, so "feeling safe" is different than "actual safe". Delhi lost the war of perception with just one high profile case that was published all over the world for years, for example NYC and Paris are arguably much more dangerous than Delhi at night but people especially women don't care about that and dream about living there, perception matters for people.
I lived in a number of cities & visited many of them. They are kind of similar- same shops, same clothes etc. I think that Indian cities for all its plus & minuses are pretty distinct. Its neighbour, Bhutan is more distinct- the people dress in their country’s outfit. There is no Starbucks or MacDonalds- reminds me when I travelled in the 1990s.
Now most of the world has macdonalised.
Well said 👍💯. And the world does not need McDonalds.
I'm always impressed by western women who come and live in India.
Growing up, as a male (born and raised outside of India), i put up with the negative indian stereotype. It made me annoyed and insecure. For the longest time, i heavily disliked Indians for making others think I'm like that when I'm not.
That's something people dont realise. Not everyone that's of Indian origin (or from there) stinks, is dirty or is a rapist.
There are plenty of normal people, who go to work, volunteer in their community and are kind to others. You cannot judge 1.4 billion and other people of Indian heritage from stereotypes. That is wrong. Just like its wrong to judge other races from their stereotypes. Judge only people's behaviour and actions.
Read this to know about our past and achievements.
Ancient India's Achievments:
1. Brits say they gave us education. But, we already had ancient universities like nalanda, takshashila, vikramshila, and much more over thousands of years ago.
2.Indians had concepts of calculus before west like infinite series for pi, power series for sine and cosine, inverse tangent series, and much more. These series were made by Madhava, who was a medieval indian mathematician and astronomer.
2. Aryabhatta invented sine function.
3. Bhaskara II gave modern definitions of sine and cosine.
4. Sushruta performed complex surgeries like brain, cataract, rhinoplasty, limb, and much more over 2000 years ago. Surgery was invented in Egypt first, but we made many contributions to it.
5. Maharishi Kanad, a philosopher, proposed the idea of atoms in 600 BCE.
6. Brahmagupta invented the formula to determine the area of cyclic quadrilaterals.
7. Decimal System.
8. Binary number system by pingala.
9. Ayurveda.
10. Bhaskara I stated that at the highest point, the rate of change is zero.
11. Varahamihira predicted water on Mars thousands of years ago.
12. Sridharacharya invented the modern-day quadratic formula.
13. Solutions to quadratics.
Modern India's Achievements:
1. Har Gobind Khorana synthesized the first artificial gene and demonstrated the role of nucleotides in protein synthesis. He also artificially synthesized coenzyme A and played a massive role in cracking the genetic code. I reccomend you watch and learn more about him. He shaped modern genetics.
2. Chandryaan 3 landing on the south pole of moon.
3. Mars Mission.
4. Sun Mission (Aditya - L1)
5. Fiber optics by Narinder Singh Kapany.
6. Jagdish Chandra Bose was one of the pioneers in wireless communication before Marconi and transmitted signals before him.
7. Discovery of millimeter waves by Jagdish Chandra Bose.
8. Discovery of cholera toxin by Dr. Sambhu Nath De.
9. USB by Ajay Bhatt.
10. Pentium Chips by Vinod Dham.
11. S.N. Bose made contributions to quantum mechanics like Bose-Einstein condensate and laid the foundations for Higgs Boson.
12. Quantum Statistics by S.N. Bose. Also, Boson particles are named after him.
13. G.N. Ramachandran discovered the triple helical structure of collagen protein and deepened our understanding of sickle cell anemia.
14. Ramachandran plot, which is a tool used to visualize which angles can amino acids take in proteins.
15. Venki Ramakrishnan discovered the high resolution atomic structure of ribosomes, which gives us a deeper understanding of how ribosomes manufacture proteins.
16. First DNA based Covid Vaccine.
17. Cervical Cerclage was first described by Sirodkhar.
18. Crescograph.
19. George Sudarshan was one of the pioneers in quantum optics. (Watch and learn more about him).
20. Microwave Optics.
There are many more indian greats you should learn about. Examples: Srinivasa Ramanujan, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, C.V. Raman and Raj Reddy (one of the pioneers in AI along with McCarthy).
These brits committed horrific atrocities against us and brought artificial famines, which killed 100s of millions of Indians. They also r*ped teenage indian girls and sold them to s*x slavery. They did the same with young women. This caused a spread of nasty stds. They also shot indian children with rifles and flogged them with their whiplash tool or whatever it is. Ps, we had advanced ship building industries and textile industries. They destroyed it. Not only that, Westerners teach you about these inventions, but never tell indian origins. Not only that, these people call us primitive, yet look at our ancient architecture.Many of our inventions were wrongfully attributed to Westerners. Also, I do not know why Greece is considered Western when their culture is nothing close to Western. They did not have a civilization of their own, so they had to appropriate Greek and Roman identity. If Greece and Rome did not exist, they would start calling Egypt, Babylon, and Sumeria as Western 😂😂. Well karma is a b**ch, anglos and other Western countries are on a decline, and I bet they will not even exist in the coming years because of immigration and because of their looted money they can last only so long, I will enjoy their demise.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Vitamins152 Thank you so much 🙏🙂
Mumbai is super safe, because it never sleeps. Locals runs (they are the arteries of the city) for almost 20 hours of the day. At night they have railway police in ladies compartment, so it gives safety even in late hours. Roads (main) are always flowing even in night. You can get cab or auto at anytime of the day easily and mostly it is safe ride. However everyone must take care of the safety. Understand the place before you go to the new place. keep in touch with someone at home, specially for girls I would suggest. This is applicable anywhere.
It's really a good interview. We should take these negatives as constructive feedback rather than criticizing her. 👍
most just agree, India is off the wall.
Hey, I would love to see interviews of foreigners who lives in North-Eastern. That'll be a interesting video to see their perspective of India.
I don't how I stumbled on this video. But really it was such a joy to listen to her. Her insights were spot on! Really amazing personality.
She embraced Indianness. Look at her, she struggled to find an intern back home but here she started her own business and employed 15 people. Kudos.
Yes but she cannot 1)help teach her help how to read or write?? 2) she can't pay this help much more than average???
Typical white people.
Go to a country where life is easier, but instead of helping atleast 1 Indian person to gain a better position in life, they take and take and take.
She can afford to pay this woman who could be her mother, a woman who has been helper since she was only o years old, she can pay her atleast $400 a month and change the woman's entire life.
In Germany you think she would get such daily help for just 100 a week? HECK NO. She can afford to change this woman's life.
I don't like her
Wonderful for her that she manifests so much magically like she says, but that's not how it is for everyone. Ugh I can't
I admire her honesty, i live in Germany and i can see what she is talking about. India has its own problems but i hope she finds comfort and life that she has hoped for. By the way, India is changing a lot, and yeah, delhi and most northern states are not safe.
Been to Mumbai with my daughter in late 2023. We planned the trip for 17 days. We ended up leaving in 3 days. Frankly, it’s not a place where we would visit again
Dharavi(2.39 sq km) is not just a slum.. This is thriving a hub of small industries.. Turnover is over one billion dollar..
Why not turn Dharavi into a bustling industrial area
@@Zaheed-ip8mpthe problem is they don’t want to, when they move to Industrial area they would have to follow rules, regulations, need to have proper license and safety standards which is all missing right now. They work in such a hazardous and unsafe conditions, there earning maybe more but quality of life is poor. I feel rarely a person raised in dharavi would cross 60 age mark

Very true👍. I am an Asian living in Germany (for many years) and fluent in German. But I don't like the unfriendly, cold and selfish attitude of the majority of Germans. I am planning to go back to Asia next year. I am not Indian, but look Indian, brown skin. I would like to move to Mumbai alone. I like to get to know a new city and live there to try it out. I would like to get to know some genuine people there. I am glad Michaela managed to achieve her goals outside of her native Germany. I hope I will like Mumbai and the people will be welcoming towards me.
Now Delhi has less than 20% of Delhites living in delhi ....Delhi is filled with migrants from round the country...and its a wholesale market area so even illiterates who never been to school comes and get a job here...its overcrowded place...Sadly till 90s Delhi was great with so much cleanliness , no crowds , easy transportation when there wasn't even metro...good times!
Who is native of Delhi 🤔....
Those illiterate people work as cheap labour making ur life easy😂😂
What do you think Mumbai is filled with? With regards to migrants, Delhi is nothing compared to Mumbai.
As a native Delhiite you are absolutely right 👍🏻
More migrants come to Mumbai than Delhi. But Mumbai is the safest city for women in India.
I'm also German living in India and I can relate soooo much to what was Michaela saying. Was nodding the whole episode! Should visit Bombay more often I guess. 😃
I am Asian, living in Germany currently. But I do not like to live longer here. So I am planning to go back to Asia. I am not Indian, but I would like to try Mumbai. I am 56 years old and I hope I will feel safe happy in Mumbai. Could you please share some information about your experience of living in Mumbai? What made you leave Germany and move to Mumbai? Thanks 🙏

I dont wan to leave Ambala my whole life guys. I love Ambala!
I am an Indian and lived in 6 countries including some in the ME so far. I think India is as safe as any other country. Police in most parts of the world are inefficient but more people friendly. Not in the Middle East though. But in India, there is something that is clearly missing in other parts of the world....that is life! I love the hustle bustle in India that you dont have in US, Canada etc. People in India are surely more honest and that is granted to them.
Ive been trying to convey this very similar message since ages and it has proven to be a persistent challenge, especially among individuals in India who lack overseas travel experiences and find it hard to comprehend.
It depends on the person. Not everybody loves the so called 'hustle bustle'. Some may like to live in more peaceful sleepy towns if they have the choice. Large crowds, the noise and chaos may cause them stress and anxiety. Unfortunately, most people in India have no other option but to adjust to this way of life.
6:44 the 2 boys you showed are not gay , they are friends😂😂
Another good interview max. Keep doing the good work
Thank you for your genuiness. I appreciate that there is no sugar coating whatsoever. Hopefully India does better for the sake of its own people.
Many so called slums are a source of great production activities. The turnover of say the dharavi area may have a annual turnover over UD 1 billion. There are amazing people with amazing skills.
Amazing people with amazing skills?? Dharavi has a population of 1 million people, that means per capita output is only 1000USD, which is lower than Nepal’s gdp per capita
The people are great. Not the system. Nobody likes to live in slums if they would have the choice.
People can certainly do wonders without tax being imposed on them
@@suyashbhardwaj3419 I wouldn’t call living in a shack without clean, drinkable tap water and a sewage system, “wonders”.
I really don't understand why foreigners always comes to delhi, jaipur, mumbai, and some slumy places of india like india is a huge country we have north east, Himalayas, leh Ladakh, whole south india, different cultures but they will always visit some some crowded places of india and after that they will complain about that how crowded india is they will order Very spicy food and after that they will complain about the indian food is so spicy. Means I didn't understand, I am tourist guide and someone come from west they will visit any part of india literally any part of india but instead of proper tourist place
Exactly my point. I comment this everywhere else.
Delhi being the capital of India and Mumbai being the financial and film industry of India attracts these foreigners for opportunities. Sure, they must be travelling all over India but for people of those caliber to come and work here, only few cities can offer them that. I am pretty sure the moment other cities across India are able to offer this opportunity, people will gladly come and live there. For example, with the recent IT Boom in Hyderabad and Bengaluru, now we have a lot of foreign engineers and managers are coming up to stay in these two cities.
Most of the interviews here are with people who have been living and working here in India. Hope you got it now.
@@asitkhanda Yes you are very right bro but here I am talking about beautiful tourist places of india, Indian slumy areas are not tourist place, whenever you see vlogs of this foreign people they always visit this particular areas like Jaipur, Delhi and Mumbai and after that they think like yes we had explored whole India by visiting only this 3 places but we hidden gems like North east hill station, Himalayas, leh Ladakh, Pyongyang lake but they visit only this places after complaint against that. And yes Delhi is the capital of india and Mumbai is facial capital but these places have beautiful tourist sides but here also they visit some random places instead of some proper tourist place in this 2 cities
She is true about Delhi,I think the administration of Delhi must take measures or it would portray a very bad image of the country
When the troublesome elements from UP, Bihar, MP, Jharkhand, Rajasthan overcrowd Delhi, safety issues are bound to arise. It's not Delhi's fault that these ganga states are so overpopulated & underdeveloped.
The original Delhites have become a minority in their own city & roaming around in some Delhi market is not how you're gonna learn about the real original Delhi culture. What you would get instead is a taste of UP Bihar.
I really agree with the universe giving you what you want. Whenever I really crave for a biriyani, the universe finds a way to get it to me.

You have forgotten one thing that India is the most populated nation in the world and it surpasses the entire population of Europe. So no use comparing with any small nation of Europe. Its requirements are enormous like infrastructure, schools, colleges, houses, roads, vehicles and everything and one has to see how best India cope up with these requirements.

Her resemblance with Millie Brown is just astonishing.
yo, I just ctrl+f to search "Millie" just in case I do not make myself redundant.
came across to this just two days before i am going to delhi as a solo female traveler. hope i don't have any negative experience over there as she suggested but gotta say, i loved this interview! she is so direct and honest.
As an Indian I would say- Delhi's culture is like the Bollywood culture and its 50-60% Islamic as it is a muslim majority city. In Delhi even Hindus behave like Muslims, its a very corrupted city. You can't expect women sefty there. You can always come to Goa or Bangalore -these cities are safe for women and always try to avoide go through a muslim majority area ,you'll be safe as a women.
So how was it like there in Delhi?
I like the jugad part. sometimes, all we need is to make the best out of the situation and make it work. To save time, money 😊
I like how her accent changed as she stayed in india
She has an Indian accent now
this is the best interview I have ever seen. the interviewer let the guest take over. the lady is very articulate. good job to both.
Her energy,expressions are awesome and the way she said “I wrote a book” 24:45
british did not bring helps or servant culture.. you don't see that in england .. where as in India not necessarily rich, even the middle class people have helps! I read snippets of a book written by british officers in india that when they go back to england they are going to miss all these services!
Relax guys it's just the bombay shell that she is surrounded by because she works in bollywood even people from our country who have lived their whole lives in Mumbai think Delhi is like a warzone for women .
But in reality it's as safe as you can be anywhere in the western capitals of the world .
Ofcourse there are all kinds of people everywhere in the world and just like all other countries different cities have different cultures that doesn't make them good or bad it's just part of the package .
So all in all India is a very diverse country on how different people would react to different things throughout the nation just learn a little about wherever it is that you are planning to going to .
Good
She ran away from all the migrants in Germany. She has no reason to complaint 😂
That explains why people don't leave Mumbai,.once they get there😊
I just LOVED her honesty! ✨🤌
These experiences can be subjective. Some women have travelled to Delhi alone and nothing happened but some have had bad experiences. Still, in general Delhi is still a but dodgy i mean even some local women feel unsafe at night in some parts of delhi.
Dehli is a Punjabi Bihari dominated area. Most rapey ethnicities in the worls.
Agreed. I love Delhi and travel quite freely in the day, people are helpful and it’s very convenient but the nights are definitely dodgy (Or maybe because I never had the guts to travel past 10.30 😅)

Very well explained. Both good and bad. No stereotypes.
All these people talk about delhi not being safe, even the Indians, I don't understand what are they talking about? I think it's just their personal experiences. Lived in delhi all my life & I'm from a small city. I love it.
As a woman just dont roam in muslim majority areas in delhi, n you'd be safe. lol. dont blame whole delhi. you'd be not safe even in UK or US when u visit muslim majority areas there. in west they have became no go zones for a reason. foreigners have this weird craze to visit old delhi instead of visiting new delhi, old delhi is super chaotic n mostly muslim areas there.
First line she said , "Delhi is not safe" as an Indian myself i say its very true!
I went to a slum and I was like "wow" how do I understand this?
Also when do you have to come to India to see a slum, I'm sure even his country has one.
Slums of Karachi, Sao PAolo, Manilla are much bigger than those in Mumbai, it's just popularized by Slum Dog Millionaire, that's where the stereotype comes from
But I would still not understand how is it exciting? Waht's this poverty tourism?

Hi Max, not sure where she lives in Mumbai, it is generally Rs. 1500 or Rs. 2000 per month in areas like Thane or Powai or Chembur if someone works one hour per day.
15 K to 20K monthly ,
is generally for 8 hour or 10 hour or 12 hour per day .
Also something observed in all videos from India, these people first sarcastically talk of helper maid culture, but at end of the day they all employ them!! Just be sure helper is above 18 years.
Yes I feel the same when he asked about salary she was little hesitant or got stuck in thinking. In my society its 2000-2500 for someone working 1hr
I went to both Delhi and Mumbai with my experience as an Indian Mumbai is far better then Delhi
South India is comparatively safer, but solo woman traveller should be extremely careful when travelling anywhere in India
I love that her accent is also Indian
As a dilliwala i can say only she is totally not correct crime happens but it doesn't mean whole city is unsafe
As a Mumbaikar - though not living there right now - I agree with Michaela. And to let anyone who goes through these comments know - many Indians don't find Delhi and some parts of the North safe - please note I said SOME PARTS not all - lest I be criticised for being biased.
Of course there can be dangerous places everywhere - even in Mumbai - one has to be aware of the surroundings.
But then I did not come to comment about that. I was "distressed" to hear Michaela say Mumbai is not spiritual, unlike the rest of the country. That's not true. When I try to figure out why she says that I can only conclude it is because she is working in an industry (Bollywood and cinema) where glitz, glamour and wealth matter. Does not mean everyone there is non-spiritual, just that when you are working with deadlines, and many appear beholden to glamour one feels that way.
Search within Mumbai and talk to the right people Michaela will discover the spiritual side of Mumbai too.
Only staying in India for 12 years she knows everything it's shocking. We Indians staying here from Childhood still don't know India due to its diversity. You westerners speak to soon.
I dont know at what time and where she was roaming in delhi..she said unsafe at any point of time.. thats not true..mishap can happen to anybody at anytime anywhere in the world.pls dont label it like that
Delhi is unsafe for women ..I've lived there for 8 years. They're pretty racist as well, especially to North Easterners. Literally everyone knows it.
I'm not from a rich family, but I remember sometimes my brothers and I would ask our parents some very honest questions in regards to poor people or poverty when we were small. Most often, the response was to the effect of "don't talk about it". That's not to say my parents were against curiosity or something, I think it's a societal thing where we tend to ignore these problems going on right around us because it's not proper to ask those kinds of questions. And I suppose the richer you are, the less you think about these things - but this happens all over the world.
On a lighter note I love how "Indian" she sounds, her accent is such a melodious mixture of German and urban Indian English 🤗
No idea why all these foreigners stick to Mumbai where there is a whole world to explore in the country

Having Servants is not a status symbol. She interpreted this not well.. It is necessity if you have enough money.. In India you have to cook vegies everyday, buy everyday etc.. It is a lot of work load if your house is big.. And they are competitive and easier than modern automatic machines..
She made insightful points how the native language being spoken by a westernized person is not expected. "they are used to colonizers" very good point and honest.
Bombay is not like other parts not only coz its so busy, polluted, multilinguistic.. But also no other city in India has 40% people living in slums.. My city Nashik just 150km of Mumbai has barely any slums.. And very relaxed..
i like pune n navi mumbai
What is not considered a slum in India is considered a slum in most countries 😂
Living in slum doesn't mean they are poor
@@JitendraPoochhwale Why some of us think like this? Yeah it means that most Indians think getting enough to afford food, some little rare education and shelter, let it be a slum is not being poor.. Reality is that if your monthly family income is less than 50000 Rs, you are poor. In india, 60% families have less than 20000 a month as income. Let alone keep the slums aside, many times people live in pakka houses but the road connection is bad, sewage flows as in open gutters, road is corrupt..
@@JitendraPoochhwale yes it does mean they are poor, the slums have very poor living standards and terrible infrastructure
