I Gave India a Second Chance (After 7 Years)

  • HEY GUYS! THIS VIDEO IS LONG OVERDUE! After nearly a half-decade, I have decided to come back to India and give it another chance (because on my last trip, I had an awful time...) I was in a fatal bus crash at 2 in the morning where two people died, and on top of that, I got severe food poisoning which led me to lose over 12 pounds.
    So I came back as my new 32-year-old self to give it another chance and see if I would like it. I'll be spending 11 days in the country, attempting to shoot 4 videos for my main CZcams channel, and we are kicking it off right here with my first 24 hours in Kolkata (one of the craziest cities on earth!)
    Have you ever been to India? What are your thoughts? Also, let me know if you have any recommendations while in India this time around - I'd love to hear from you!

    Poor neighbourhoods, including slums, exist in Kolkata. However, going to Kolkata and visiting mostly those areas is extremely odd. The visit is missing out on the various glorious aspects of Kolkata, including the richness of its art, literature, music, sports, cuisine, and architecture. It is the cultural capital of India. This video is similar to what would be the case if someone went to New York and visited only the slum-like places.

      Populated means More people
      Why don't they visit natural and scenic places like Kerala, Ladakh, J&K, Himachal pradesh, or North East?

      These people come to India and think the real ones live where the poor people are.. But no my friend, even I can go to New York and just visit homeless neighbourhoods and be like this is where the real New Yorkers live.
      I'd say instead the real hardworking people live in posh to medium posh places.. I have all the sympathy for the poor people but they need to do more in terms of their choices: like someone instead of begging can choose a small work at somebody's shop.. it's all about choices in the end. But you visiting only them and calling them as those are the real people of India is injustice to all the hard working class people who actually view your videos

    I am in India as of this comment on a 7-day trip to Delhi. This is my second time in India and I am hungry for more. My first trip back in 2016 was to Mumbai where I spent most of my time in Powai. I was fascinated by the culture, the sights, the nature, and the contrast between old and new parts of the city as well as its rich, middle class, and slum areas. My best memory from the trip was one hell of a hike in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, which is a recommendation I cannot make enough if you ever find yourself in Mumbai, especially the view from the top, which is surreal to say the least! I just concluded a full day in Agra yesterday and looked at a few monuments and local artisan workshops which was very rich and which I also recommend to anyone coming to Agra in addition to visiting the Taj Mahal, of course. My discovery of the massive land of India is still in its infancy and I look forward to the next trip! The one thing I still cannot get used to is the aggressive driving, be it here in Gurgaon (where I'm staying), in Agra yesterday, or in Powai a few years back! The excessive use of horns becomes background noise that you get used to and filter out eventually.

      As a vlogger he has to be honest enough to show both side, if he is visit slum, he will get slum in return.
      If he is visiting Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, Lakshadweed, Andaman and Nicobar islands, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, etc.

Leave, go to the West, see the slums and then make comparisons. Yes, every country has slums, but the situation in India is MUCH worse than in 90% of the remaining world. I say this is a proud Indian. The fact of the matter is we have failed the lower classes. We have completely and utterly ignored them for centuries. These youtubers and vloggers should be applauded for bringing attention to an important issue. Unlike the mjority of Indians who are like you and wish to pretend as if none of this exists. Wake up and smell the reality, the “heaven” you are speaking of is less than 1% of the country. These people are trying to focus on the situation of the masses, which is exactly what they should do.

    It's amazing how with digitization the image of India is so drastically changing. The western media always portray India as a backward country with no culture. We're in fact the most culturally rich and diverse. We had more money and class than the world could ever imagine, but centuries of invasions and loot changed it.
    And despite all the problems, India is still making it. This decade belongs to India. We're an example of perseverance and sincerity. We need more vloggers like Drew to travel across India, so the world knows who we really are and what we're made of.
    Everytime I see an Indian travel vlog by travellers like Drew - I feel proud.. and appreciative of these vloggers who are here to explore but also end up showing the real picture of the country.
    Kudos to Drew and the likes. And India too!

    It is sad to see how you explored Kolkata. You visited only chaotic wholesale market place of Kolkata, Kolkata is the economic hub of entire Eastern India, so obviously it has large market place, and that is burobazar. You did not even visited two important synagogues in Kolkata which were just few metres away from the place you were standing. That two are Maghen David and Beth El Syangogue. Kolkata is called "Cultural capital of India". You did not visit India's one of the largest book market, College Street. You did not explore colonial past of Kolkata, and its colonial architecture, such as Writers Building, Victoria Memorial, Metcalf Hall, Town Hall, St Paul Cathedral, Metropolitan Building. You did not explore spiritual places of Kolkata like Kalighat, Dakshineshwar and Belur Math. Kolkata is diverse in each and every aspect, from culture to architecture to religion. Oh, I forget to mention New Town of Kolkata. That is the modern version of the city. That part of the city is completely opoosite to the part you shown in the video. New Town is information technological hub of the city. Hope, you will explore the city completely.

    Hi Drew, Although I also think India is super busy, crowded & dirty at some areas but it's upto Individuals to choose what to see & what to show. As an Indian I would really not visit Kolkata for leisure (Although I have for some reason & made vlogs), we all know it's one of the oldest cities in India & only major city between many poor states of India. If you wish to see & show there are countless experiences (pleasant ones) in India you can have.
    Regarding the title, I personally don't feel offended because as Indians we also hate lot of things about our country but there are equally great things like any other country has. Hope you enjoy this time !

It's more than what a single video or limited portrayal can capture.You're absolutely right, it does have its share of historical elements, evoking an ancient charm, however, there's another vibrant side to Kolkata as well. The city has embraced modernity, boasting an infrastructure that continues to flourish. Kolkata offers a kaleidoscope of experiences!

I have seen so many Indians commenting on his video, that his idea of India is very superficial. I have seen so many subscribers asking him to visit better places in India, but he always ends up visiting the older parts of cities which even as Indians we don't visit that often.
