My family is from the region and we’ve traveled across India and Bangladesh. It’s not an easy trip but it sure is a gratifying one. The food is diverse and spectacular and the history is incredible.

If we are going to generalize countries, I’d point out how the US treats Black people and tolerates gun violence. I’m Anerican though and know that these are areas of our less perfect union and I have hope for improvement.


Sorry if the reality of the situation makes you uncomfortable, but India is a horribly unhygienic, pollution filled country with an appalling record of treatment of women and lower classes.
This.

Sucks to be them, but as the article says, a visa is a privilege not a right.

Right. If you look at comments on Reddit regarding the H-1B visa holders trapped in India after their renewal appointments were cancelled, it’s a ton of Indians screaming about how they will now try to steal their jobs in India. As in Indians don’t want their own citizens to return! You can’t make this stuff up.

Any non racists here, try south India: Goa, Bengaluru,Kochi, and anywhere in Kerala. Up north: Rajastan. I’ve never been, but heard Chandigarh is nice.

Why is it racist to point out things we don’t like about India. Is it racist when Indians complain about the USA?

Delhi is polluted for sure (and worst in winter months, due to stuff being burned for heat), but it's also improving. AQI improved in 2025 compared to previous years. The goverment has policies like mandating scooter rickshaws (tuk tuks) move to electric since they used inefficient two-stroke engines and are on the road all the time.

India is rapidly improving, but it has a way to go. I've been many times. I'd say it's a country where you love or hate it, with no middle ground. If you're a traveler willing to roll with the punches, you'll be fine. There's an enormous amount of history and culture to see.

If you're going to Delhi and want to stay in a "Western" area, stay in Aerocity near the airport. They created basically a modern mini-city, with everything you can walk to. It's not "real" Delhi, but a good place to have as your base if you want to ease into India.

^^I should add that the way they treat lower classes is disgusting too. They treat their servants like literal slaves. No respect or dignity. It’s awful.


This^.

I found it shocking. Growing up learning about the caste system in India, it was taught to us as if it was kind of a thing of the past. It’s definitely not.


+1000 So strange how Indian people completely ignore this fact.

I bet all, your Indian relatives want to come to the US though.

I’ve been to India multiple times and I don’t understand why it’s so dirty. Why is there not a proper waste and trash disposal system in India? Surely the people who live there don’t want to be surrounded by filth?
