Typical Indian... they worship whites.
Would have been funny if he said he was from Google Street View.
Wideo*
right😂😅usa and india have mutual relations
Dude when you asked those 2 guys about the direction to Malabar hill, in hindi they said ‘I’m sending him to a longer route because it’s beautiful from there’ as he assumed you as a tourist. That’s why you got different directions.
seems like mumbai people are like lahoris they too never give the right directions lol
Hassan Rasheed Pakistanis have the same culture/nature as Indians, it’s just that religion divided us. Before the British came we were all living peacefully and happily.
@@bharatAV peacefully and happily? Bro sorry to burst your bubble but peacefully, happily and even united for that matter wouldn't be appropriate words to describe conditions of india pre british raj. Rather you should be thankfull to british for uniting the remaining india otherwise there had been many countries originating from it not just Pakistan. Kind of like eu. Here's a cool video on this topic czcams.com/video/UQdMxXcfMRc/video.html
Indians like to believe religion dived india but the fact of the matter is there has never been a united india... just deal with it
@M.A Alam that’s just bs. The British never wanted to unite India as one. Their own policy was “divide and rule”. It was thanks to Sardar Patel that India is what it is today, otherwise it would be looking like what Europe is today.
@Nitin also of bihar, manipur, nagaland, sikh movemnet, underclass, muslims, and probably 100+ seperatist movements in india... pretty impressive right?
Amazing video. Born and raised in Germany I lived in Bandra West as an expat in my mid / end twenties from 2008 to 2010 and still consider Mumbai as one of my hometowns. So many life-changing experiences. So diverse feelings and impressions every single day.
I lived in Mumbai for 1 year... The vibe of the city is different which I never felt in any other cities.. i don't know how to explain.. As you said one feel "more alive" in Mumbai.. Very diverse city indeed ❤️
Where are you from actually then??
It is like being in London or New york
Mumbai is a nightmare for students. Most of the college buildings are dilapidated and I don't think the government will ever do anything to rebuild them....atleast in this century. Most of the colleges don't provide hostels and even if they do, they resemble the houses u get to see in Dharavi (world's largest slum).......and renting out an apartment is again too costly. If your accommodation is far away from your college than u need to go by the local train, which again is a nightmare. There are scammers all around trying to fool young and naive students telling you that they will provide you a PG in low price. Mumbai is good for tourists who get to see the city only superficially for one week or so. For the vast majority of middle class people who live here, this city just drains out your energy and turns you into a depressed and aged person.
Delhi, Bangalore, Poona, Hyderabad, Chennai are much much better cities. Ahmedabad is by far the best.
Diverse? Sad...

Mumbai is like the epitome of diversity. You go on a road, on your left side, there will be lavish buildings of 20 floors, and to your right side, there will be small houses. To your left, there will be fancy restaurants. To your right, there will be roadside food stalls.
You can live with the highest cost of living and at the same time you can live for the lowest cost of living.
you mean inequality not diversity
Most Indian cities are like that because Indian authorities do not kick out people for being poor. You can live in a railway platform, put up a store in the roadside without any permit. Build a hut in some unused government land and no one will bother you unless necessary.
@@ctyctnn1907 it’s not inequality.
@@killvish5111 agreed
China also
When I was in India (for business) I was told to stay near to Powai Lake Hotels and it was so luxurious I was shocked by the contrast with the surroundings, hotel was all gold and marble and I have never experience such as ostentation not even in the most developed countries, I really understand the feeling of your experience, at some point you just adapt to the different realities people live in India
Yes this is typical india. The private establishments like these hotels and private homes are palaces. The second you step outside their grounds you will see exactly the opposite. This by the way has been there for centuries, the haves of India are in a totally different planet than have nots, despite being neighbours
That why some of these places are so expensive and still look like that, its like private rich space, and block out all the poor stuff. going in and out is difference of world.
Sorry but I don’t like countries like that because I feel bad for all the people that have less… Just because I was born in a different Country…

When a policeman asked you not to shoot, the reason for that is during the attacks in 2008, the areas which were attacked were first videographed and studied before. That is why the police nowadays are taking more care. Happy to see a vigilant police officer! Hope you enjoyed your stay here in India!!

Yep.. It's called white privilege, I guess Mumbai still hasn't learnt its lessons when a white guy like him called David Headley recce the important locations in Mumbai and gave, it to his Pakistani handler who trained the 26/11 Attackers of Mumbai. Good job Mumbai.

But u should think one thing that south india is ahead in education but north indian are very very rich and supercar u see in Mumbai are mostly of north indians
I love it when you talked about controlling your emotion, and I also love the way you addressed the situation by not calling it dirty or poor directly but used a more respective words. Nice video
*_It's amazing how expensive neighborhoods and slums coexist in one country! India is an amazing place!_*
The concept is simple. India has too many people. Majority of them are not even middle class. Successive govt policies specifically prioritise urban development over welfare of rural industries due to which all the money is in the citiies. So poor people from villages migrate in humongous numbers to the cities.
Given this background, consider that rich people are busy working 9-7 and need domestic help. Poor people who come from villages are happy to do anything to earn decent wages, so they get into services like domestic help, security, food and medicine delivery, catering, fast food, selling vegetables, basic necessities, trades like plumbing, electricians, appliance mechanics, etc. And all of these serve the rich / upper middle class.
So you have the "servant" class living near the "master" class.
In other words, the slums near the skyscrapers.
In short, it is because well off Indians do not do menial labour at home and outsource it to the rural poor who migrate for a living because all govts have ensured that a supply of rural labour is never ending.

just kiddng dale... i know you are the boss
It's not rocket science actually. Nodding (up and down) means "yes", shaking (sideways, straight) means "no", tilting (sideways a couple of times) means "ok".
You are better vlogger than this man he is crap , you deserve more subs than him.

I loved your narration while you walked the streets. What makes it good is that it is so ad hoc but so true.

So wtf are you talking about
Report or stop if you found anyone like this with cameras
I was in Mumbai several years ago. It was very interesting. I just stayed in the old part and walked everyday. There was so much to see and people were very friendly.

If people say "don't know the route" then you might think like being Indian they don't know? Waste fellow". So they want to act like "smart". So they will say some random route instead of saying "I don't know". That's why you will get different answers from different people in india. You need to ask many people and if majority of people say same answer then route is valid. 😀

Alot of Indian actors and actresses live in Mumbai, thats what the security is for
Love this video! 2 years late but so good to find it!
Mate, got it in one, I took my family to India and lived for 2 years, we lived in the suburbs not in an expat compound, we traveled throughout the country and met some of the most engaging beautiful people imaginable, the difference between the haves and the have nots is huge, and always in your face, I fell in love with people first and the country side and villages are just so welcoming, I rode an Enfield from Pune to Goa with my youngest son on the back of the bike, took 4 weeks stayed in villages and had to force myself to go home

India itself looks like a world of contrast!! Nice video! Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷
I am turning 65 next month and I can’t tell you how many people I told, “Work as a server in a restaurant when you are young and the people skills you learn will serve you well the rest of your life.” I firmly believe that!
I so agree I worked as a server in many resturants in my teens and early twenties. It was very eye opening to human behavior I am 65 now also and it definitely gave me people skills that lasted me my whole lifetime!!!
Out of context people
In India people think it is a shameful job as a Server in a restaurant.

Biggest problem in mumbai is slums
Sadly the economic disparity means that the rich wall themselves in making their world inaccessible to the rest. This is why you’ll notice that the expensive hotels are way more expensive than the West. The high price is to keep the massive number of non-rich people out.
The slums near the rich towers house people who provide services to the rich.
Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Otherwise if you don't wall yourself if you have wealt you will see a thousand beggars standing day and night on your door they might even rob your blhouse protect yourself from all that chaos rather than facing those ScSt acts the poor usually impose on the rich

18:29 the priceless smile one that man's face. The western world is full of people who don't have time for anyone but themselves.... that man who likely didn't have a proper house to live in was so excited about shaking hands with a foreigner.... India is awesome.
No, we are actually interested in meeting white people, it's like a cultural flex, talk to them, take selfies, if you're black or Asian, you won't receive this kind of behavior. Also these people have enough empty time to stare at foreign people, in the West people are busy.
You're right, the wealth of Mumbai lies behind those inaccessible walls...

True, in only few hands and rest rest of the population lives under the line of poverty. Specially in villages. This is pretty bad.
@@BeHumanWithOutBorders hahaha. Just few hands of India are more than your whole country. Trust me. Making few million population rich is not a big deal. But when you deal with billions.

@@huskyboi9847 Husky Boy your country comes at 86th level according to transparent International, and 84 millions Indian live under “ extreme poverty” .

And I don’t have to come and dream about living in India. I live where your Indians dream to come and spend millions for getting visa and sometimes loose their lives while trying to access here through traffickers. My ex government divided India into Pakistan and India. I just support and stand with good cause.
interresting, thank you for the video 👍
One thing that was very striking to me is how many trees are all over the place. It is very refreshing and nice in a way. They haven't tried to necessarily get rid of nature and overpower it, they just let it happen. It adds a lot of character.

But much better than anywhere else in the world
Yes so I am a foreigner living in Mumbai. There is indeed not much to see here in terms of architecture, yet there is so much money in this city. And I realised that the cost of my living here is just as much as it was in Switzerland, if not more in fact.
From the outside, most of the buildings look ugly, but once you enter, the interiors can be really lavish.
People take very good care of their property, indoor. Whatever belongs to them. That's how it goes and that's how it ends.
And the thing is that the prices of real estate here are so high compared as to what people earn that owning your own 2 bedroom apartment is already a huge luxury in itself.
People do have good cars but they rarely take them out of the garage, by fear of having them scratched by wreckless drivers.
People put a lot of money here in their children's education by sending them to colleges abroad (mostly to the US).
Now no matter how dirty and shabby the city might look, you end up getting terribly attached to it over the years (weird I know hahaha...)
The various areas of the city are like small separate towns or villages with their own style, their own charm.
And yes, there is not much to do activity wise with children here, but since people are so friendly, children end up having loads of friends to play with every day. So the leisure is spent mostly in socialising within the housing society premises or at the nearby park.
We are also lucky to have a lot of greenery in Mumbai dependingvon where we live and the proximity of the ocean makes it much less polluted than Delhi for example.
Very relaxed feel for sure 17:00
Fascinating to see that much has changed in India, but nothing has changed! Those big new motorways and bridges were not there when I visited, but the upmarket apartments, cheek by jowel with the street poverty and the curious citizenry enquiring where you have come from and answering questions with that enigmatic headnod... You are so right everyone should visit India at least once and if they do get out in those streets which are unlike almost anywhere else.
Poverty is a relative term, Doherty
You would visit again?
It's safe compared to Paris London or any city in US where there are chances of gun crime. But foreigners won't see this..
@@SunShine_747 ehhmmm....big chance of getting your bags snatched.

Hi Peter .I'm South African Indian....yes...I agree...India is alive...there is just so much of everything...India is different..with every visit....awesome video
The accuracy of your experience is summed up so nicely. I agree everyone needs to visit India at some point
"Half of the population lives in slum" but they still own flat screen TV, fridge, and very often Air Conditioner. They live in slums because land is at massive premium in a densely populated city. Our plumber in Pune who runs a big plumbing business in high-rise luxury apartment blocks, his wife owns 2 eateries for IT-Profis, used to live in a Mumbai "slum" just 2 years ago, doing nearly the same in Mumbai.
Same with my family 😂😅
That’s right .. some people in the slums may have net worth more than this guy. They choose to live there for the convenience and the camaraderie .
@Muhammad Talha Hahaha nice joke
I do live in a slum but a 1bhk slum. I have a.c, refrigerator, car, bike. Not only me but 80%people in slums. The young children here are all going to good private school and one day they will buy a good house for their family.
I live in California
Wow! That was amazing!
What he is saying in the video several times is very true, there are no "rich neighbourhoods" in India. There are small gated communities that are really nice, there may be pockets of development in certain areas but while taking a stroll you're bound to see filth and poverty no matter where you are.
Welcome to India 🇮🇳 to my beautiful city Greater Bombay from the USA 🇺🇸. Thanks so much for your love for India and for my great city. Shalom! Blessings from India 🇮🇳. Take care
Why you saying 'shalom' ? Peter is Italian-american
@@FakeR19920828 that's fine I normally say that. Nothing wrong with it. So what if he's a different nationality. Shalom means hello or peace. I speak Hebrew so it's not new to me.
I am now experiencing this type in street culture shock in San Francisco that I used to get on childhood trips to India. Street people in India are so entrepreneurial and trying to change their life. Can’t say the same for the decline in SF. I’m so glad you learned a lot!! It’s a great mind shift, right?
it cannot be colonial government its occupation government.
Please can India finally get it "right".
You were "invaded" "occupied" "enslaved" land & resources stolen on an industrial scale maybe the largest in human history !!!
Then came the ethnic manipulation & cleansing, wiping out language and anything else to turn you into servants in perpetuity.
Germán Nazi had really good teacher ( that’s what they say…seriously !!)
Nazi attempted to do the same in 4 years in Europe.
Nazi were not "colonial" in France or Greece...although they did try that trick.
Are Greeks & French smarter than Indians’ ? They do not call it “colonial” of the German Authority power !
Please do not refer to the murderers and thieves as "imperial" " colonial" it’s simple not true.
Those who peddle this have little ethics and even less morals, Like the Queen of the UK, you know the UK, it’s the same as the EU but the Anglos cannot control the EU like they control the UK so they spat the dummy and left, they are control freaks of the first order, psychopathic culture, take a look at India, it’s what they leave behind as locusts everywhere they go…but do not got their home it’s a different story.
That German woman who is the current Queen of the UK, yep the one that refuses to hand over the gemstone her ancestors stole….now there is a role model for a nation of thieves…never give stolen goods back and pretend you are “above” all the crimes of the past… !
Suppose the modern day Anglos are scared you many ask back the stuff they stole !
@@cypriotsinsydneyaustralia557 Stop. Quarter of the world was colonised by briton. Wealth lies in culture, education and inventions, governmental systems...physical wealth isn't permanent. We indians including you should understand it now and stop cribbing. And bad things happened with everyone, literally everyone. Remember Nanking? China got back up right? As simple as that. We weren't strong enough back then hence why bad things happened to us...
I live right in the center of SF and it has gone through increased changes since the beginning of Covid for sure. The contrast between rich and poor have always been noticeable here but much more visible in recent times. Also, it is similar to what he experienced in the first neighborhood that he went to - street encampments right on the same streets with million dollar condos. The contrast and desperation is palpable here now. More people homeless than ever before and living in tent cities and doorways.
@@cypriotsinsydneyaustralia557 live in the past while we all set sail for the future lol
@@cypriotsinsydneyaustralia557 I like your demeanor towards us, thanks a lot for that...but please don't give indians confirmation to let them keep on cribbing about bygones. Regardless thanks for such an Outlook if you are non indian.
So happy that I ran into video about India. I do think people perceive and feel differently regarding poverty. What I have seen and heard also is that they learn to just let it be when, for example, passing by, but they will always give some amount of money for the poor. India is a truly beautiful country!!!
The thing that you explained about India being letting go of control and not have expections is so on point.
thank you. very enjoyable feature, appreciate your delivery as well.
I really like your perspective, I see what you see man. Thanks for this
Peter you have an amazing talent to disarm people when they are defensive / offensive … it’s incredible and attractive too
thanks Peter, nice vlog
Yes it is one of the wealthiest. But it doesn't look like so.
Indians are poor. Their GDP per capita is only $8000. Japan is $45,000.
@Fasih Mosharraf It is $8000 kiddo. I'm talking about GDP/capita (PPP) and not GDP/capita (nominal). Please read - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita
@@reardelt Japan is developed country. india's population is 1.3B+ & Japan's population 120M+. don't compare per capita income. Yes most of Indians are poor but India is world's 6th wealthiest country.
@@rb-kv2kf you are a kid. Japan BECAME a rich country. Japan was poor in the 1860s. By 1900, it became a developed power during the meiji period.
Also, China has a larger population than India but still its gdp per capita ppp is double of India
@@rb-kv2kf yes, poor
4:43 "You have to adapt to India or you hate your life here. But if i'm going to pick one place in the world, i say India; is place where you just feel more alive as a human being than anywhere else"
I completely agree with you !
I'm a indian hindu from the UK and still get people looking when I go back, it's just the way it is!!!
I love it!more video
Thank you, your video made me nostalgic, I was born raised in Mumbai. They say you can never take Mumbai out of you. love your take and philosophical view on contrast you saw there
Mumbai looks much cooller than I had thought. Love from Pakistan🇵🇰
Pakistani saying mumbai is cool is not good from security standpoint😂
@@oksowhat Security issues are created by politicians, people of Pakistan love you and many in India love them as well. every problem has a solution so does Pak-India relations, I hope we would enjoy cordial relations with one another one day.
@@mehtab.a.sindhi07 it was just a joke, moreover indian people dont love pakistani people, rather most of us have no feeling for you guys, also people here hate the ideology of pakistan.
@@oksowhat It's not necessary to love each other's ideology to have good relations. Most of the times, it's interests that define the nature of relations and unfortunately two countries have largely divergent interests. Still, I'm hopeful we would resolve our issues one day. I believe in you guys.
@@mehtab.a.sindhi07 Do visit us some day! :)
I am going to India next month and it has been 20 years since I went there and am excited and scared at the same time🇺🇸🇮🇳
The only good thing about this video
13:56 this build
Dude what an awesome video. Loved the narration too - very insightful thoughts on India and I feel the same way. Takes me a couple of days to get used to the noise, crowds, incessant honking, poverty but I realize they’re good people and I always miss India after leaving. Agree with directions like no one knows where anything is. Definitely feel very alive in India. Can tell by all your videos you had a very wholesome upbringing that has enabled you to enjoy and admire various settings and cultures. Look forward to watching your other videos. Thanks and keep em coming. 💯
Cheers and a huge thumbs up, Peter! I just found your amazzzzzing videos about the different cultures around the world. Gotta confess, I am totally hooked, bro! 👌 👏 👏 👏 Cheers from Canada 😉 😆
16:54 Onwards was my hangout back in the 90s, I was born and raised at Pali Hill - thanks for showing, this was life beore the internet. The whole of Pali Hill was like a rich betty, vernoica and archie story with bass pumping cars and many with M2"s, Celicas, Supras and Corvettes. That was the life!
This Mumbai holds so much pride in every indian's heart!
15:00 to 16:20 Maximum crowd was college students who were bunking classes 😂
Love Mumbai! I remember the days when I lived there!!!

Dude great job
Thank you for sharing your experiences for those who are unable to travel. When my little ones leave the nest id love to travel the world.
This is very nice walk through the city. This is exactly what I would do in any city, apart from visiting historical places/monuments -- walk through its neighborhoods to get a real feel of it!
Just found your channel. Great documentaries Peter. Looking forward to more. 👍🏼
The vibe in Mumbai is so similar to that of Lagos, Nigeria🇳🇬
What a great and incredibly FASCINATING life you lead Peter, I am so ENVIOUS ! You do a fantastic job and people warm to you incredibly quick ,what a fantastic thing to do,travel the world and tell EVERYONE about it …. Very interesting well done !
Dude you were so smooth when that guy asked what this is.. It's you and me together bro! 😂😂😂 Also epic coconut scene... Wow! I'm glad you don't edit that stuff out! Hope you're well.
American Magnetic power - the coconut couldn't resist. But needs to be upgraded- precision wise
Malabar Hill bought so many memories ... it is a combination of Government officals, old establishment industry, businessmen, lawyers.. the chief justice bungalow was the exact road i walked by.
Nice video. I second ur thought about working in restaurant open our mindset in understanding people better.
Thank u
I like your reflections about life in India. Will definitely visit this great country.. someday.
