I see a 👙 wearing them in metro i dont have problem with that its Usual women have more rights and seats in delhi even they dont pay for busus still criticizing ... Everyone 2,3 months women slaps cabs boy with 16 slap i don't think this thye of freedom they any other places dont pay for cabs.. Women ☕
I agree! I only travel in the ladies coach in the metro and rickshaw for very short distance in the day time. That's all the public transport experience I can take in Delhi.
I mean u have designated coaches in metro designated seats in buses a cop is assigned in busses and metro for safety .people need to understand delhi is a small city with lots of people from all around India . I have seen tourists doing crazy stuff on public roads and thn thy call it delhi is unsafe
Interesting interview. I am a 46 year old Indian woman who has lived in USA for 25 years, France for 6 months, in Indonesia for 16 years and now in South India, Chennai for 2 years. I feel the safest here. South India is calmer and safer overall. While India remains a patriarchal society, I really don’t think it is as bad as she describes … women are not second class citizens. I never feel unsafe or mistreated here, unlike in Paris or in Chicago.
The western idea of patriarchy is vastly different from India. If we deep into our history, India as a civilisation gave equal rights to women. Like Vedas are the only religious book in the entire world that has huge women contribution. The Brahmavadini a honorary title given to women sages and scholars who composed many verses in Vedas? That’s patriarchy for you? In train stations which is a very crowded place push and pull is normal. Everybody is in hurry. A man randomly walks past her and his hand slams into her as he hurries on is perversion? The lady needs to leave India ASAP. In America women are grabbed and dragged molested in broad daylight. There are hundreds of videos of such incidents. But that society is very non-patriarchal for her! Here in India we have had queens in her own right. Unlike Europe where queens used to lose their right to be the apex authority once they got married! India also had the first women president only 30yrs after independence. And US is still struggling to find sane president. I’m not saying in a country with 1.4billion people you won’t find a single bad man. But to say India as a society is not safe is ridiculous. First they should make their own country safe. Germany is prostitution capital of Europe! And they have large, powerful, well funded activists and groups who want to legalise paedophilia and normalise such sickness. But nope that is not psychiatric disorder but in a crowded place if a man hurries past her and by god if his hand brushes her it is all wrong. India is full of perverts. Women are not safe in general! Men pls raise you hand in the air, make sure she smell ur armpit odour when you walk past her. Push ppl around no you don’t accidentally touch her.
I understand her saying that women are secondary here and I agree with that. As a woman in India, we have to fight just to make our very own choices whether it is as simple as what clothes to wear, what education to get and whom to marry. your value as an Indian woman comes from how much are you willing to sacrifice for your family in terms of giving up your ambitions, your desires, wishes etc. Indian girls aren't raised to focus just on their careers but more on their duty towards the family. It is tough being an Indian woman when each day you have to fight to have some autonomy in your life and that also comes with a lot of guilt. we are taught that taking care of your husband should be your life's priority even more than taking care of yourself. a woman's well-being is the last thing that anyone thinks about here. as you grow up, you stop fighting for basic shit just to have some peace of mind and then you realise that you have also been modded by this culture to ultimately shut up and tolerate everything, to just give up and satisfy the needs of everyone but you.
I must say this is the most realistic and relatable conversation. You can see that Hela loves India but she does not mince words and talks freely about the problems also. She is truly " Indian" now❤
Be wary and careful of these Europeans as we know their past exactly . Also , many are coming with the intentions of Conversion , spying , leftist naxalite tendencies , intellectual terrorism .....I will make friends with them with greatest vigilance , but will never trust them .
😂😂 Me Mumbai me foreigners se dur Bhagata hoo, God Knows might be they travelling with Viruses. Iss Shembadi ko kaun Gf Bolnaa Chahegaa, What a fantasy, Inse baat karo to problem na karo to bhi problem, Germs ka pahelese hi prob hain
In every video foreigners complain about Delhi safety issues which is genuine. What is Delhi government doing towards cleanliness and safety. It's our capital 😢😢
Another good one Max. Your Guest as a lone woman has figured out how to survive in Mumbai correctly. A young woman from any remote corner would also have gone through the same grind she is going through. And slowly things get settled down.
The part where she said "it's like a game to them" is very true. As a woman you can't shake the feeling that there's an underlying provocation to these very "unintentional" but very intentional touches. They're saying "what are you gonna do about it?" "What can you even do about it?" "I'm a man hence I can behave however I want in public" "I can let my intrusive thoughts win because it's not like my dignity will lessen if I do cheap tricks, afterall patriarchy is on my side".
spot on, ugh I hate it so much. It has happened to me so many times but I'm from the UK, living in the UK. Maybe it's more common in some parts of the world than others, but it's a man thing in general. Touching when it's so unnecessary. Like you don't need to touch me around the waist to pass me, you'd never do that to another man, so why are you touching me? I've never seen a man stroke another man's lower spine like that 😂
South is completely different, you should visit Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Andra Pradesh, you will just fall in love with India after visiting these places, very safe for a lone traveller. South is very friendly place. And you have to understand one thing, there are unsafe places everywhere even in your country. Not every man who speaks to you trying to hit on you.
It´s sad to define how Delhi is, and people there are, by a few rather touristic areas though. I´m a foreign woman having spent a lot of time in Delhi and I love it. Not all areas are good or bad, but that´s the case in most places worldwide. It´s an extremely fascinating city, so rich in history. Food, parks....... Fantastic metro. I avoid spending time in places like Connaught place though, because it really annoys me and brings out the worst of me to have people following me, trying to sell things to me or whatever. I also understand that it´s a priviledge to be able to enjoy the city choosing when and where I go.
All the female foreigner tourists in India please pay attention to the lady's talk. Take it very seriously. You need not behave like male tourists even if you are in a group.
Dont knw whether they should learn to behave like male tourists or not but they should learn to behave like a gud tourists i mean i have seen tourists in delhi fighting with auto drivers with hotel staffs
I know 😏 I living in Delhi and I know the reality of delhi delhi is too much good for me and ya if someone say hello to non Indians it doesn't mean they have wrong purpose india is very big country 😒 have so many places to visit some peoples are bad but good bad peoples everywhere in Europe also men's are too much worst but I don't understand why u target only indians such a worst mentelity she have living in india and saying india is unsafe too much racist her mentelity 😢😢😢
I lived in both Delhi and Mumbai and agree with her observations. I am sad to see our capital Delhi having bad reputation. Hope Delhi people realize this and do something concrete to improve on it.
As a Mumbaikar, My wife travelled many time at mid-night (by last train 1.20am or taxi, bus, riksha)...so it is really safe...Just dont try any unknown route or dont do misadventure
In Bollywood, Eve teasing , following women is promoted and that is made to appear as some skill in young boys and men and necessary skill to get attention of women or to get stupid romance. People are gullible here and they adopt it in real life … Off late from 5 to 10 years internet data is extremely cheap, cheapest in world, and P’’n has captured minds of young men … This all gets reflected on streets. How to stop people from doing what they have been doing from long ? Who are role models in Indian popular culture to be followed by 90 percent population who doesn’t read to develop mind and own thinking. They are just making Bollywood or reels or any other stuff their role model. Look at good literature books … how many in age group of 18 to 35 are reading them ?
I traveled a lot, alone, in India and although I met amazing people, I confirm what Hella says about men touching you. I love India for many aspects but I feel south east Asia is more comfortable for women. Easier going. I like bouddhist countries. There is more freedom for women, local and foreigners..
You are somewhat correct specially in certain specific cities or states this touching happens, not in all cities. E.g. Mumbai is ok , and also many other cities in west and south of India are ok. In Bollywood, Eve teasing , following women is promoted and that is made to appear as some skill in young boys and men and necessary skill to get attention of women or to get stupid romance. People are gullible here and they adopt it in real life … Off late from 5 to 10 years internet data is extremely cheap, cheapest in world, and P’’n has captured minds of young men … This all gets reflected on streets.
I'm an Indian woman and I agree with you. Have to be careful with the men here. For example, when we dress up to go out, we have to think about the crowd we'll be encountering. If it's a posh place where the men are likely to be educated and don't give a damn about what women are wearing, we can wear anything. But where you'll encounter the bad crowd, you have to be mindful of what you're wearing and who you're talking to. There is a perception with most males here that if a woman is wearing short clothes she's "showing" her body for them and "asking" to be touched and stared and commented on.
@@01124 yes but india isn't a buddhist majority country. Many south east asian counties are. Let's learn not to take everything literally and learn to read between the lines.
@@ketansrivastav righteous and sharp minds born in this land ( bharth ) it takes time for us decolonization of 1000 years. After that we will be more stronger and wise. At first need moral and ethical education from early age for next generation at least
Thank you lady for showing real face of indin men all foreigners just praise India to gain viewers. But this reality should be shown and should change.@max chernov why you changed the title of the video previous was better..
As an Indian I absolutely loved and respected the candidness and honesty she showed in detailing both the positives and negatives of our society. She was absolutely on point about everything..and I liked how she described the negatives in an objective way without sounding condescending at all. I just like to add, it's not same everywhere, for example, in the north eastern regions, females have equal or sometimes even higher positions than males in the society.
For a German Indians are naturally very talkative.. these are just two opposite poles on that.. but for Britishers, or specially for French or Canadians it’s not so much of suprising! I mean I feel Germans are way to shy and sometimes they show lack of communication skills that actually affects themselves in business and in lot more fields..may be it’s because of Language difference... but still if you learn German too.. not necessarily you can communicate your need to people in a Berlin street or platz, may be nobody will help you and ultimately a polizei will come and guide you as part of their duty, that too in a cold mechanical voice.. it’s never easy to make friend or friend group in Germany.. and in India.. just adress someone as bhai, mitra etc and talk nicely and see the magic.. he will help you selflessly... no we are not machine, we make machines and use them...but we are superior from them by our thought process, sensitivity and compassion, what makes us human..
I also heard when you become friends with German people, they become life long friends. Its just getting over that initial hurdle or ice breaker. Every culture in this world is different, yet we expect other cultures to be like our own. German people are straight forward and follow the rules from what I have seen, there are always a few exceptions like everywhere.
Bharat progressed quite well in last decade but as Ma'am says here there are few points to be worked on and believe me respect towards women is must in Bharat and must be inculcated in minds of people. Hope guests like her have pleasant and safe stay here.
@@tango_gru Bharat is not first world nation ,till a decade back it was much projected as second world nation....Still developing as minds of locals too. Yes laws need to be reformed more related to education and women rights. Note:things do not change overnight as it is not a college lecture.
A lot of countries are not first world countries, but women do not always feel unsafe there. Also, second world refers to the former Soviet union. The first, second, third is not a ranking system.
Ok let me come to the Rescue for Delhi! I am from Delhi NCR (Gurgaon) and am well traveled for tourism, businesses etc. Delhi isn’t safe not just for women but for men too. Still it is far and far better off from the likes of Paris, London, New York, Chicago etc. I myself am an eye witness of a gun firing in broad daylight in Chicago and later got to know from the locals how common it is, still not going to defend Delhi for what sometimes it isn’t, and to Hope that sometime it isn’t with yourself, you take precautions. But the thing which makes it work anyhow is everyone is aware of the fact that it isn’t safe, to which everyone takes precaution by not visiting certain areas or parts of Delhi after a given time alone which is all by yourself. Key is not to be alone. Still I have and do visit those certain places at certain times alone or with someone and haven’t felt anything like such ever. Avoid North and West Delhi, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida. Noida, south and east Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad are better. By Delhi not being safe could be Eve teasing, drunk people, rarely theft and robbery, Ego clash. Just Except your win if ever get into an ego clash with someone by ignoring them instead of being responsive. Most men related incidents are because of this. For Women it’s mostly Eve teasing , so please try to ignore till it could be,after a limit being crossed get close to crowded area and ask for help. Still No city could match Delhi. It’s the best city we got💙
Because educated older men are also interested in knowing how you are living in their country which you consider as a third world country. Just like Max. He is doing the same thing.
Max, you really put her in a spot by asking her to say welcome to India 😂. LOL. I empathise with her. I live in Switzerland and although I can understand high German, my Swiss german is non existent. My reading comprehension of German is much better. German and English are so alike, so that really helps. But Swiss german is a different planet. 😂 I think young Indian men in their twenties asking for a selfie from a woman of her age is not to pretend she's their girlfriend. They most likely just want to show their friends and family back in their small town or city that they met a "foreigner". If she was younger, I can see some cheeky men pretending she's their "foreign girlfriend" 😂 but I think most of the time, it's because they're not used to seeing or interacting with foreigners. Also, as someone born and raised in India, I find it interesting that she felt like a second class citizen in India (even with her foreigner /white privilege). Trust me there is a foreigner /white privilege. I never felt like a second class citizen even though i myself am a woman. 🤔 I know India is a patriarchal society but atleast in the circles I frequent, I've never been made to feel less important. Maybe it's a class thing too. I don't think most middle class educated Indians hold that type of limiting views (men shouldn't talk to non related women). Indians in general (especially in the cities are very liberal and progressive. I find her views interesting. That's her experience and opinion and I can't argue with that but I never felt that. I guess it also depends on how they approach you. It's not so black and white.
I am born and brought up in delhi and i have seen delhi getting worse and major reason is many people pouring in from UP and Bihar everyday without any records.
I like this interview - it is more realistic than many of his other interviews, in which everything is great about India. That is obviously not the case. This lady is frank about the positives and negatives
I studied in India AND was molested numerous times , in the train, outside the mall , on the street. They just came close and touch my inner thigh quickly and walk away acting as though nothing has happened. Sometime it happens when there are mob of people around and its difficult to pinpoint who was it. Just shocking!! My friends were touched inappropriately when they were in the train as they were surrounded by men while standing . No one helped them , everyone knew what was happening in the compartment , they had to scream at the men literally to leave them alone and yet they were acting as though nothing was happening. Police didnt do anything , as the men already gone by then.
It happens to even people in India so we stand near ladies grp avoid standing near to men especially if it's crowded. Wear appropriate clothes though even if u wear descent clothes things happen.but we don't want to give wrong idea..these kind of people r every where.so we do maintain a co.mon sense not to do certain things or going to such situations which might get u in trouble
@@KK-ow2zi thanks for your input. I wore punjabi suit all the time , and always moved around in the day time. Same goes to my friends, mind you i'm not a white woman neither my friends. We are foreigners but ancestors from India. I'm just traumatized with whatever has happened , and i was in Karnataka not even in Delhi.
Damm bro that's sad most lower class people in india are disgusting and lack etiquettes. The problem is the same in japan and south korea( to a lower extent in sk tho) but because we're a poor country, less attractive and lack the "right way" to do these things we're looked down upon whereas a lot of women fantasize about south korean men. Tough to be a woman, and it's worse to be a innocent man in india. Indian laws are horrible for indian men. Nvm i just started ranting.
Good interview and keen insight into the realistic India. Also, come on man.. permanent yellow Hindi captions are too distracting. Make captions switch on..switch off. Optional.
Very nice interview. Thanks for speaking the truth. We have lot of bad elements in our society. Eventually things will change for good. Rest assured India is a beautiful country.
Indian society is really flexible.You got it correct.With the huge population of different cultures,this is the best way to live peacefully. Live & let live.
Although critical, she is honest and not vindictive in her views of India. I appreciate that. We have a lot to improve as a society - it is improving with our generation and we need to continue with it. We owe it to ourselves first but also foreigners who come to India and call it home.
I am shocked that people touch you; I do apologise on behalf of the people who behave in this manner. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy living in my country with unique experiences in your every day life.
A Spanish girl was r@ped brutally in Jharkhand by 7 men and the accused are not even arrested. Please make a video on that so she finds justice rather than just making videos for views. Please show the real picture as well.
while my college selection time my Family strictly said choose any college other than colleges in Delhi....and few years back my relatives unconditionally landed in Delhi and she was followed by some group of strangers ...Somehow she managed to get of it ....Seriously Delhi is a unsafe place We need some changes in Indian people mindset for some places
Most of the people you have interviewed know about 2,3 cities they have good knowledge if you want to know their perception about these cities india is huge..like this interview she said she misses winters...come to Uttrakhand specially rishikesh dehradun Missouri, himachal there are lots of foreigners who leaves in these places ,jammu kashmir and north east india.. You will have totally different experience people food weather.
This clearly shows that Indians are very focused as we work and we know how to reach our destination and do ehat we want amongst this chaos. Cheers to every Indian reading this comment. Jai Hind Jai Bharat 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Actually indian cities are not designed to be night cities and people are not used to it... I dont see this is a valid point When metro dont work 24*7 then what u expect.. 😂😂
That expressive head shake and lively expressive opinions - that's definitely Indianness. I thought Germans were steely with fixed faces. This one's totally adapted to India. In any case, she's done more research on an Indian city than me. I respect that.
I went to delhi for 2 days and cried after i got home. I am an indian man. Delhi people should think, they single handedly tarnish the reputation of all of india.
You are doing a great job by doing this videos on what the foreigners who live in India think about this country and it's people. That way we can get unbiased reviews. 👍🏻🙏🏻👏🏻
This is very true in north India. My wife attests to this. But not so much in East, and South India, and perhaps Maharashtra as well. In general, the more down south you go, the less will be the harassment problems that women face. There is one hack to avoid unwanted touches - wearing a burqa.
It is bcz tourist label delhi as a whole north tourist needs to understand 2 things 1st delhi is a capital as well as a small city with a lot of crowds from all around india 2nd u will alwys find capital cities are more chaotic thn other cities so foreigners need to understand when they visit delhi leave we r white and better attitude i have seen tourists behaving rude with auto drivers with commoners
@@me_hu_batman_kasam_se Nothing justifies sexual predation, and sexual abuse of women in public transport. Also the high crime rate. These are very typical Delhi problems.
Quite interesting and open minded replies. Nice to know that she is not bitterly critical but at the same time doesn't mince words to give her Frank opinion.❤
Max MUST READ let me tell u: Iam an Indian hindu girl and I left India in 2015 for Canada, I will tell u the truth: believe me there is not one moment when I don’t miss India, reason is not just because I was born there. The reason is people love others there irrespective of religion, color or financial status. Here in Canada people don’t care for eachother. There are many whites who are very harsh. Also I have aome whites who are very generous. If a brown buys an appartment here in a white community, they separate us or behave like we are not humans. But in India if u call people for help everyone in ur neighborhood would come. Whites think Indian love whites due to their color which is a Misconception. Indians love black as much as they love white, they just become excited to welcome people from other parts of world- may it be from norway or nigeria. There is nothing white or black for them. They really love everyone. Iam from Odisha and was in banglore which was South Indian population but they all love me like family and we never had any differences. They were always there to help and now too they help me when I have left the country for years. Also u will feel the Freedom n doesn’t matter from where u come u are always accepted and people love to celebrate.
She is German, so she must be telling directly as it is, i.e. her experience as a woman. India has huge population, that makes it very challenging. Germany is very well organized, that makes it very efficient.
In India everything is in open due to population and poverty and lack of reading great literature. In Germany very bad stuff happens , check child s’x’a’l assaults via grooming cases . But everything happens indoors. Roads are clean, traffic is not chaotic, honks not there. But crime is there . Do read about that.
But you can't compare Germany to India. You could compare Germany to Karnataka. Or India to the whole of Europe. If you look into it, India with its states is very similar to the Euroean Union
@@anna-marianunezvega1520 it was sponsored by state till recently , that is difference. Crime sponsored by state mean entirely different thing compared to crime done by individual .
Mumbai is a Marathi city in Maharashtra. We have a long history of respecting our women. Our prime deity here is a goddess, Aai Bhawaani. Mumbai itself got its name from goddess Mumba devi. No women will face any harassment here anywhere in महाराष्ट्र, at least not from a Marathi man, I promise.
Maybe now. But i have been living in mumbai since the 1990s as I'm born here. I have lost count of how many times I've been groped by men. And i was a kid, i was underage and they acted like that. I dressed modestly as a kid. Even at age 3 I didn't like sleeveless and liked pants instead of dresses. So there's literally no excuse.
It would be very nice if you could also talk to expats staying in other Indian metros like Kolkata since its quite different from Mumbai and definitely from Delhi. Kolkata doesn’t have this attitude of women being secondary and I think it is one of the least patriarchal cities in India.
being a delhi person ,to be honest if u have survived living in delhi or parts of UP, bihar and bengal then every other indian states (excluding the before mentioned) are much more safer and less chaotic with extremely safer being southern indian states..😅😅
The saddest part is when people paint the entire North India with the same brush because of these dark spots like Delhi, Rajasthan and UP when in fact the real North India which is J&K, Ladakh, HP, Uttarakhand has to suffer along with them!
In India, state to state, living style is different. And also, language is also may different. But one should adjust it. Then you feel free. Thank you for another nice video.
Please take interview of NAMASTE JULI, Juli too is from germani and stays in india has more than 3 million subscribers Her life is like a movie in India
Mumbai is a great place। Everyone looks happy and contended। Helpful and courteous। Have lived in Delhi for 25 years। Love Delhi during winters। Living in Chennai for more than 30 years। Culturally very ahead of all other Indian cities।
A lot of things in India needs to be improve specially in civic sense area. India is chaotic place to live but once you became expert you can live anywhere else on this earth.
Very nice observation of the locals. I appreciate she didn't sugar coat anything. I agree as any part of the world we have both kind of people. But I believe anyone coming with open mind would enjoy their visit. After viewing this video even many Indians would want to visit Mumbai with a new agenda :). Hope your book reach many people and have a nice trip during their visit.
Very honest. I was once told when Indian women especially from the North move to developed countries like US, Europe or even China, this first taste of feeling safe in the night is an amazing feeling. This being said, India is a huge country. India can be shown as a shithole, and India can also be shown as a very nice and beautiful country. We have regions where the societies are even traditionally matriarchal (Meghalaya for example). In Kolkata for example, women are very empowered and free. We must take our guest's words as constructive criticism. But sadly, the 'class' of people who actually are very disrespecting of women are also not largely present in the viewership of this channel. But even the educated people sometimes have subconscious biases.
True, the old woman was ranting most about women getting touched and less about good things in Mumbai. Indians should stop giving too much weightage to such women because she will go back in a year or so and spread misinformation about India.
there is a lot of rush and crowd in some places , some people intentionally touch you but not every one..once my GUY friend told me that a girl started to abuse in in public because his elbow touched her on her back due to the crowd,,she even threatened to call the cops...at the end he gave up and said sorry for unintentionally touching her....
Mumbai is safest than other world's cities because mumbaikars follows Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj who given respect as a mother or sister to other womens.
Mumbai city is like energy and city under city like every area of Mumbai city is different people of that area is different like mankhurd Andheri and bandra nagpada
Everywhere, Everytime is party 🎉 time in India Lot of people assemble in streets, bus stops, railway stations, offices, restaurants, parks, In cities it is 24/7 crowd party time Everywhere Everytime everyone all together
Actually our India is more comfortable and easier than Europe, if you feel India with your heart,although we are not so developed like Europe, but here is everything available at low cost, Indians are simple and pay honour to everybody,

As an Indian woman in Delhi i want to say Delhi is BRUTAL if you are exposed to the elements, ie, public transport.
I see a 👙 wearing them in metro i dont have problem with that its Usual women have more rights and seats in delhi even they dont pay for busus still criticizing ...
Everyone 2,3 months women slaps cabs boy with 16 slap i don't think this thye of freedom they any other places dont pay for cabs.. Women ☕
If uh are not using public transport in Delhi then either uh are very rich and unemployed or both otherwise traffic will consume all your time 😂
I agree! I only travel in the ladies coach in the metro and rickshaw for very short distance in the day time. That's all the public transport experience I can take in Delhi.
I mean u have designated coaches in metro designated seats in buses a cop is assigned in busses and metro for safety .people need to understand delhi is a small city with lots of people from all around India . I have seen tourists doing crazy stuff on public roads and thn thy call it delhi is unsafe
Pakistan is great , please move there as our many bhandwood fakys wanna do it
Even Indian people from other states are afraid to visit Delhi.
Very true
My friends from Delhi tell me that Delhi is not for beginners.😂
I am in delhi from past 3 years. And everything is fine you guys are just exaggeration
Dilli se hai bc... 😂😂
The worst part is Delhites carry Delhi with them wherever they go. Worst International tourists to run into
Interesting interview. I am a 46 year old Indian woman who has lived in USA for 25 years, France for 6 months, in Indonesia for 16 years and now in South India, Chennai for 2 years. I feel the safest here. South India is calmer and safer overall. While India remains a patriarchal society, I really don’t think it is as bad as she describes … women are not second class citizens. I never feel unsafe or mistreated here, unlike in Paris or in Chicago.
Fully agree to that. I NEVER felt secondary in all the years I've already been here
I don't know what basics she said in India women are secondary.everyone I know who has his own house It's either on his mother's or wife's name....
She is a high nose western racist colonialist , she Must be carefully observed by intelligence .
The western idea of patriarchy is vastly different from India.
If we deep into our history, India as a civilisation gave equal rights to women. Like Vedas are the only religious book in the entire world that has huge women contribution. The Brahmavadini a honorary title given to women sages and scholars who composed many verses in Vedas?
That’s patriarchy for you?
In train stations which is a very crowded place push and pull is normal. Everybody is in hurry. A man randomly walks past her and his hand slams into her as he hurries on is perversion?
The lady needs to leave India ASAP.
In America women are grabbed and dragged molested in broad daylight.
There are hundreds of videos of such incidents. But that society is very non-patriarchal for her!
Here in India we have had queens in her own right. Unlike Europe where queens used to lose their right to be the apex authority once they got married!
India also had the first women president only 30yrs after independence.
And US is still struggling to find sane president.
I’m not saying in a country with 1.4billion people you won’t find a single bad man. But to say India as a society is not safe is ridiculous.
First they should make their own country safe.
Germany is prostitution capital of Europe!
And they have large, powerful, well funded activists and groups who want to legalise paedophilia and normalise such sickness.
But nope that is not psychiatric disorder but in a crowded place if a man hurries past her and by god if his hand brushes her it is all wrong. India is full of perverts. Women are not safe in general!
Men pls raise you hand in the air, make sure she smell ur armpit odour when you walk past her. Push ppl around no you don’t accidentally touch her.
I understand her saying that women are secondary here and I agree with that. As a woman in India, we have to fight just to make our very own choices whether it is as simple as what clothes to wear, what education to get and whom to marry. your value as an Indian woman comes from how much are you willing to sacrifice for your family in terms of giving up your ambitions, your desires, wishes etc. Indian girls aren't raised to focus just on their careers but more on their duty towards the family. It is tough being an Indian woman when each day you have to fight to have some autonomy in your life and that also comes with a lot of guilt. we are taught that taking care of your husband should be your life's priority even more than taking care of yourself. a woman's well-being is the last thing that anyone thinks about here. as you grow up, you stop fighting for basic shit just to have some peace of mind and then you realise that you have also been modded by this culture to ultimately shut up and tolerate everything, to just give up and satisfy the needs of everyone but you.
I must say this is the most realistic and relatable conversation. You can see that Hela loves India but she does not mince words and talks freely about the problems also. She is truly " Indian" now❤
And in India she definitely unable to find snow & winter for that she has to wait for winters in Europe!! 🤪
Be wary and careful of these Europeans as we know their past exactly . Also , many are coming with the intentions of Conversion , spying , leftist naxalite tendencies , intellectual terrorism .....I will make friends with them with greatest vigilance , but will never trust them .

Another good one Max.
Your Guest as a lone woman has figured out how to survive in Mumbai correctly. A young woman from any remote corner would also have gone through the same grind she is going through. And slowly things get settled down.
she has experienced and understood harrasment faced by women perfectly.
The part where she said "it's like a game to them" is very true. As a woman you can't shake the feeling that there's an underlying provocation to these very "unintentional" but very intentional touches. They're saying "what are you gonna do about it?" "What can you even do about it?" "I'm a man hence I can behave however I want in public" "I can let my intrusive thoughts win because it's not like my dignity will lessen if I do cheap tricks, afterall patriarchy is on my side".
spot on, ugh I hate it so much. It has happened to me so many times but I'm from the UK, living in the UK. Maybe it's more common in some parts of the world than others, but it's a man thing in general. Touching when it's so unnecessary. Like you don't need to touch me around the waist to pass me, you'd never do that to another man, so why are you touching me? I've never seen a man stroke another man's lower spine like that 😂
A wimpish guy will do it to boost his low esteem.
Men in South Korea and Japan will also invade a woman's personal space.
You are so right about the older educated men in India wanting to have your attention. That's a nuance very well captured
But not so nice for the receiver.
Yes ofcourse, but hard to do much about it@@serenity8145
I love how clear this lady is in explaining things. She really captures the nuance really well.
South is completely different, you should visit Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Andra Pradesh, you will just fall in love with India after visiting these places, very safe for a lone traveller. South is very friendly place. And you have to understand one thing, there are unsafe places everywhere even in your country. Not every man who speaks to you trying to hit on you.
good interview. She is appreciative but also blunt about the negatives. It's always refreshing to hear these perspectives.
It´s sad to define how Delhi is, and people there are, by a few rather touristic areas though. I´m a foreign woman having spent a lot of time in Delhi and I love it. Not all areas are good or bad, but that´s the case in most places worldwide. It´s an extremely fascinating city, so rich in history. Food, parks....... Fantastic metro. I avoid spending time in places like Connaught place though, because it really annoys me and brings out the worst of me to have people following me, trying to sell things to me or whatever. I also understand that it´s a priviledge to be able to enjoy the city choosing when and where I go.
All the female foreigner tourists in India please pay attention to the lady's talk. Take it very seriously. You need not behave like male tourists even if you are in a group.
Not just for foreigner, it applies to anyone who is fair
@@vishnumohannair8506 then you should add average looking dusky indian girls also.

I lived in both Delhi and Mumbai and agree with her observations. I am sad to see our capital Delhi having bad reputation. Hope Delhi people realize this and do something concrete to improve on it.
Yes but South India is more safe like Kerala and Karnataka and Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu and connect with nature

As a Mumbaikar, My wife travelled many time at mid-night (by last train 1.20am or taxi, bus, riksha)...so it is really safe...Just dont try any unknown route or dont do misadventure
Hella has given a very nice and honest view of India and her people. Thank you Hella.
With these growing economy of India our people should be littrate enough to understand that these kind of things harm our Image 😔
the people need to be taught from childhood. This can change the mindset. Some peaceful people don't just care about it though.

I traveled a lot, alone, in India and although I met amazing people, I confirm what Hella says about men touching you.

Sorry for it but India is land Buddha
You are somewhat correct specially in certain specific cities or states this touching happens, not in all cities. E.g. Mumbai is ok , and also many other cities in west and south of India are ok.

I'm an Indian woman and I agree with you. Have to be careful with the men here. For example, when we dress up to go out, we have to think about the crowd we'll be encountering. If it's a posh place where the men are likely to be educated and don't give a damn about what women are wearing, we can wear anything. But where you'll encounter the bad crowd, you have to be mindful of what you're wearing and who you're talking to. There is a perception with most males here that if a woman is wearing short clothes she's "showing" her body for them and "asking" to be touched and stared and commented on.

Thank you lady for showing real face of indin men all foreigners just praise India to gain viewers. But this reality should be shown and should change.@max chernov why you changed the title of the video previous was better..
As an Indian I absolutely loved and respected the candidness and honesty she showed in detailing both the positives and negatives of our society. She was absolutely on point about everything..and I liked how she described the negatives in an objective way without sounding condescending at all. I just like to add, it's not same everywhere, for example, in the north eastern regions, females have equal or sometimes even higher positions than males in the society.
I am about to be done with college and my uncle told me to never accept a job opportunity in Delhi no matter what. I'm a woman
Don't go to Delhi
if you are getting job opportunity then you should go but should be careful i know delhi is not safe
For a German Indians are naturally very talkative.. these are just two opposite poles on that.. but for Britishers, or specially for French or Canadians it’s not so much of suprising! I mean I feel Germans are way to shy and sometimes they show lack of communication skills that actually affects themselves in business and in lot more fields..may be it’s because of Language difference... but still if you learn German too.. not necessarily you can communicate your need to people in a Berlin street or platz, may be nobody will help you and ultimately a polizei will come and guide you as part of their duty, that too in a cold mechanical voice.. it’s never easy to make friend or friend group in Germany.. and in India.. just adress someone as bhai, mitra etc and talk nicely and see the magic.. he will help you selflessly... no we are not machine, we make machines and use them...but we are superior from them by our thought process, sensitivity and compassion, what makes us human..
I also heard when you become friends with German people, they become life long friends. Its just getting over that initial hurdle or ice breaker. Every culture in this world is different, yet we expect other cultures to be like our own. German people are straight forward and follow the rules from what I have seen, there are always a few exceptions like everywhere.
@@Just_forfun9140 Even Germans complain about how hard it is to make friends with other Germans.

Bharat progressed quite well in last decade but as Ma'am says here there are few points to be worked on and believe me respect towards women is must in Bharat and must be inculcated in minds of people.

@@tango_gru Bharat is not first world nation ,till a decade back it was much projected as second world nation....Still developing as minds of locals too.
Yes laws need to be reformed more related to education and women rights.
Note:things do not change overnight as it is not a college lecture.
So it only takes one incident faced by foreign woman to realize that india is not safe for women.
A lot of countries are not first world countries, but women do not always feel unsafe there. Also, second world refers to the former Soviet union. The first, second, third is not a ranking system.

Ok let me come to the Rescue for Delhi! I am from Delhi NCR (Gurgaon) and am well traveled for tourism, businesses etc.
Delhi isn’t safe not just for women but for men too. Still it is far and far better off from the likes of Paris, London, New York, Chicago etc. I myself am an eye witness of a gun firing in broad daylight in Chicago and later got to know from the locals how common it is, still not going to defend Delhi for what sometimes it isn’t, and to Hope that sometime it isn’t with yourself, you take precautions. But the thing which makes it work anyhow is everyone is aware of the fact that it isn’t safe, to which everyone takes precaution by not visiting certain areas or parts of Delhi after a given time alone which is all by yourself. Key is not to be alone. Still I have and do visit those certain places at certain times alone or with someone and haven’t felt anything like such ever. Avoid North and West Delhi, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida. Noida, south and east Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad are better.
By Delhi not being safe could be Eve teasing, drunk people, rarely theft and robbery, Ego clash.
Just Except your win if ever get into an ego clash with someone by ignoring them instead of being responsive. Most men related incidents are because of this. For Women it’s mostly Eve teasing , so please try to ignore till it could be,after a limit being crossed get close to crowded area and ask for help.
Still No city could match Delhi. It’s the best city we got💙
Go to South India if you have never been. It's totally different and much much safer than the North.
Totally. coming from a Delhiite
Wow! Our new Laxmi in 🇮🇳 has come to shower her love us. Most welcome mam. 🙏 and love from me too. 😅
She is Bang on with her assessment of India.
Because educated older men are also interested in knowing how you are living in their country which you consider as a third world country. Just like Max. He is doing the same thing.
Max, you really put her in a spot by asking her to say welcome to India 😂. LOL. I empathise with her. I live in Switzerland and although I can understand high German, my Swiss german is non existent. My reading comprehension of German is much better. German and English are so alike, so that really helps. But Swiss german is a different planet. 😂 I think young Indian men in their twenties asking for a selfie from a woman of her age is not to pretend she's their girlfriend. They most likely just want to show their friends and family back in their small town or city that they met a "foreigner". If she was younger, I can see some cheeky men pretending she's their "foreign girlfriend" 😂 but I think most of the time, it's because they're not used to seeing or interacting with foreigners. Also, as someone born and raised in India, I find it interesting that she felt like a second class citizen in India (even with her foreigner /white privilege). Trust me there is a foreigner /white privilege. I never felt like a second class citizen even though i myself am a woman. 🤔 I know India is a patriarchal society but atleast in the circles I frequent, I've never been made to feel less important. Maybe it's a class thing too. I don't think most middle class educated Indians hold that type of limiting views (men shouldn't talk to non related women). Indians in general (especially in the cities are very liberal and progressive. I find her views interesting. That's her experience and opinion and I can't argue with that but I never felt that. I guess it also depends on how they approach you. It's not so black and white.
Absolutely Enjoyed this interaction. Also this lady is pretty much sorted and a very eloquent speaker expressing herself so well 👍👍
Just come 2 S india , Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, goa & Vizag . Pretty safe places ro live 😁😁. For women . & All.
I am born and brought up in delhi and i have seen delhi getting worse and major reason is many people pouring in from UP and Bihar everyday without any records.
I like this interview - it is more realistic than many of his other interviews, in which everything is great about India. That is obviously not the case. This lady is frank about the positives and negatives
I studied in India AND was molested numerous times , in the train, outside the mall , on the street. They just came close and touch my inner thigh quickly and walk away acting as though nothing has happened. Sometime it happens when there are mob of people around and its difficult to pinpoint who was it. Just shocking!! My friends were touched inappropriately when they were in the train as they were surrounded by men while standing . No one helped them , everyone knew what was happening in the compartment , they had to scream at the men literally to leave them alone and yet they were acting as though nothing was happening. Police didnt do anything , as the men already gone by then.
It happens to even people in India so we stand near ladies grp avoid standing near to men especially if it's crowded. Wear appropriate clothes though even if u wear descent clothes things happen.but we don't want to give wrong idea..these kind of people r every where.so we do maintain a co.mon sense not to do certain things or going to such situations which might get u in trouble
@@KK-ow2zi thanks for your input. I wore punjabi suit all the time , and always moved around in the day time. Same goes to my friends, mind you i'm not a white woman neither my friends. We are foreigners but ancestors from India. I'm just traumatized with whatever has happened , and i was in Karnataka not even in Delhi.
Damm bro that's sad most lower class people in india are disgusting and lack etiquettes. The problem is the same in japan and south korea( to a lower extent in sk tho) but because we're a poor country, less attractive and lack the "right way" to do these things we're looked down upon whereas a lot of women fantasize about south korean men. Tough to be a woman, and it's worse to be a innocent man in india. Indian laws are horrible for indian men. Nvm i just started ranting.

Indian society is really flexible.You got it correct.With the huge population of different cultures,this is the best way to live peacefully. Live & let live.
Although critical, she is honest and not vindictive in her views of India. I appreciate that. We have a lot to improve as a society - it is improving with our generation and we need to continue with it. We owe it to ourselves first but also foreigners who come to India and call it home.
I am shocked that people touch you; I do apologise on behalf of the people who behave in this manner. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy living in my country with unique experiences in your every day life.

Most of the people you have interviewed know about 2,3 cities they have good knowledge if you want to know their perception about these cities india is huge..like this interview she said she misses winters...come to Uttrakhand specially rishikesh dehradun Missouri, himachal there are lots of foreigners who leaves in these places ,jammu kashmir and north east india.. You will have totally different experience people food weather.

This is very true in north India. My wife attests to this.

Max MUST READ let me tell u: Iam an Indian hindu girl and I left India in 2015 for Canada, I will tell u the truth: believe me there is not one moment when I don’t miss India, reason is not just because I was born there. The reason is people love others there irrespective of religion, color or financial status. Here in Canada people don’t care for eachother. There are many whites who are very harsh. Also I have aome whites who are very generous. If a brown buys an appartment here in a white community, they separate us or behave like we are not humans. But in India if u call people for help everyone in ur neighborhood would come. Whites think Indian love whites due to their color which is a Misconception. Indians love black as much as they love white, they just become excited to welcome people from other parts of world- may it be from norway or nigeria. There is nothing white or black for them. They really love everyone. Iam from Odisha and was in banglore which was South Indian population but they all love me like family and we never had any differences. They were always there to help and now too they help me when I have left the country for years. Also u will feel the Freedom n doesn’t matter from where u come u are always accepted and people love to celebrate.
I will only visit Delhi if someone sponsoring and just for one time experience. Delhi is wild .
Delhi has a very good impression even on Foreigners 😂😂😂😂
Shame On the Capital and still has never improved, probably never....😡😡😡😡
She is German, so she must be telling directly as it is, i.e. her experience as a woman. India has huge population, that makes it very challenging. Germany is very well organized, that makes it very efficient.
In India everything is in open due to population and poverty and lack of reading great literature.
In Germany very bad stuff happens , check child s’x’a’l assaults via grooming cases . But everything happens indoors.
Roads are clean, traffic is not chaotic, honks not there. But crime is there . Do read about that.
But you can't compare Germany to India. You could compare Germany to Karnataka. Or India to the whole of Europe. If you look into it, India with its states is very similar to the Euroean Union

Mumbai is a Marathi city in Maharashtra. We have a long history of respecting our women. Our prime deity here is a goddess, Aai Bhawaani. Mumbai itself got its name from goddess Mumba devi. No women will face any harassment here anywhere in महाराष्ट्र, at least not from a Marathi man, I promise.
Bakwaas
Maybe now. But i have been living in mumbai since the 1990s as I'm born here. I have lost count of how many times I've been groped by men. And i was a kid, i was underage and they acted like that. I dressed modestly as a kid. Even at age 3 I didn't like sleeveless and liked pants instead of dresses. So there's literally no excuse.
It would be very nice if you could also talk to expats staying in other Indian metros like Kolkata since its quite different from Mumbai and definitely from Delhi. Kolkata doesn’t have this attitude of women being secondary and I think it is one of the least patriarchal cities in India.
Thanks for your great review about the Mumbai,
being a delhi person ,to be honest if u have survived living in delhi or parts of UP, bihar and bengal then every other indian states (excluding the before mentioned) are much more safer and less chaotic with extremely safer being southern indian states..😅😅

Fascinating insights, Hella & Max ! Thank you.
Very Good conversation , i like it. Though some problem but still we are unique. Proud to be indian
As a Marathi Indian i think Delhi don't deserve to be capital of India. Northern side of the India is very uncivilized.
A lot of things in India needs to be improve specially in civic sense area. India is chaotic place to live but once you became expert you can live anywhere else on this earth.
Very nice observation of the locals. I appreciate she didn't sugar coat anything. I agree as any part of the world we have both kind of people. But I believe anyone coming with open mind would enjoy their visit. After viewing this video even many Indians would want to visit Mumbai with a new agenda :). Hope your book reach many people and have a nice trip during their visit.
Max please take interview in kerala..varkala, kochi , trivandrum , Alappuzha , kovalam
For snow fall you have to come to himachal or Uttarakhand during winter..
Very honest. I was once told when Indian women especially from the North move to developed countries like US, Europe or even China, this first taste of feeling safe in the night is an amazing feeling. This being said, India is a huge country. India can be shown as a shithole, and India can also be shown as a very nice and beautiful country. We have regions where the societies are even traditionally matriarchal (Meghalaya for example). In Kolkata for example, women are very empowered and free. We must take our guest's words as constructive criticism. But sadly, the 'class' of people who actually are very disrespecting of women are also not largely present in the viewership of this channel. But even the educated people sometimes have subconscious biases.
Delhi is a shame for India we should change the capital
I agree with you... u say true and real face of indian society...👍🙏
The title of the video was changed from "They like to touch people" or something like that
to "I love this chaos".
True, the old woman was ranting most about women getting touched and less about good things in Mumbai. Indians should stop giving too much weightage to such women because she will go back in a year or so and spread misinformation about India.
there is a lot of rush and crowd in some places , some people intentionally touch you but not every one..once my GUY friend told me that a girl started to abuse in in public because his elbow touched her on her back due to the crowd,,she even threatened to call the cops...at the end he gave up and said sorry for unintentionally touching her....
very realistic. she knows what she is talking about.
Mumbai is safest than other world's cities because mumbaikars follows Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj who given respect as a mother or sister to other womens.
Mumbai city is like energy and city under city like every area of Mumbai city is different people of that area is different like mankhurd Andheri and bandra nagpada
"i love this chaos" sounds like a one liner from marvel villain
