Burkina faso on 82? n India on 85?5th largest,,n these tag r given by west?we don't need these faltu tag..Indians mindset should chnge..

And she says people have pride in holding Indian passports. It’s an absolute shame to at such rank in Passport Index \n\nWhen something goes wrong rather than accepting the mistake they say all sorts of nonsense and blame everyone else \n\nAnd BTW, the west does not rely on Indian talent on rely on cheap labor

What is you point? So you want the west flood with Indian Immigrants? Look at the size of population in India, also count the application and also do research on indian assylum seekers in western countries. \nGDP is not a single factor, also see how much does an average Indian earns ?

Here's the thing ... We Indians should travel within our beautiful country across the south, north, east and west. Yes , beautiful India , which we Indians have to take care of,, right from cleanliness, hygiene, state of the art SUSTAINABLE amenities and quality facilities will ENSURE popular Indian tourist destinations become attractive to the world and more importantly allow Indian s to enjoy fabulous vacations without the insult of these prejudiced loot in the name of visa fees and procedures!!!

Palki, the writing is on the wall for Indian travellers. The west don’t want Indian visitors. Do you still have to do a video clip on this?

hahaha... Simple answer... How many Americans ( out of 300 milllions ) want to migrate to INDIA by any means vs ~1,600 MILLIONS indians want to go to west ?

To those talking about “civic sense” or that when Indians “learn manners” they will be welcomed - I have a sad fact to tell you. It’s all bull. Behaving like a goody good will only get you more disrespect. If you want your visas approved and respect from others, respect yourself. Hold your passport and your head up high. Leverage your economic strength and demand respect just like China and the west do. Palki is right, whether you like it or not.

The west is full ?

STAY HOME. THE WEST ALREADY TAKE TOO MANY OF YOU GUYS... YOU GUYS TURN BRAMPTON, CANADA INTO DELHI. POOPING ON THE BEACH, TRASHING THE STREET, CAR THIEVES, GANG RAPE, AND CRIME ALL OVER THE PLACE NO MORE

This problem ceases to exist if west accept that Asia King lineage is united Korea and not Chinese or Indians.

West won't answer that! Because it is something you need to figure out yourselves as adults. Just take a look at the Indians in Canada. That would give you a clear answer why all these sanctions are placed!

*Reason is SIMPLE, I live in the west, you WILL NEVER SEE a child working or begging on the street, or a random person asking for help without other people helping, or ....700 million people living in the most ABJECT POVERTY being scammed by politicians and religious leaders !! INDIA HAS 1000 YEARS MORE TO GO IF IT WANTS TO ACHIEVE WEST STANDARDS....IF EVER THAT HAPPENS, Pakistan has a MUCH BETTER CHANCE* ?

Palki purposely chose to omit the fact that 99% of Indians apply for visa to the west with the intention of never returning back to their country. That’s why most countries are sceptical when it comes to issuing visa for Indian passport holders.

This reporter needs to be banned in the west

India has to be careful not to get caught in its echo chambers. Large number of illegals in west are of Indian origin especially US and Canada. If legal immigration should have any chance, India has to crack down on the illegals. Once they get deported investigation is necessary to break the backbone of these human trafficking gangs!

FLAWED ANALYSIS:.. .@3:47 flawed thinking that u can use economic leverage ... US is jacking import tarrifs ... ur rupee is falling as u have seen is cuz of that ... cuz US is going to start making and growing in house (2) india's general habit of bad mouthing around has fallen it on itself like karma ... west has realized that this particular nation is always found spewing twisted lies... all the time... (3) west has realized india does NOT have talent .. it never had talent ... west was just giving u chance cuz of non-Muslim IT region ... Pak has JF17 avionics the toughest part done inhouse and many other projects where ur talent is not just only sinking own submarines, helicopters, drones but other nations' too ... again u NEVER were talented u were given chance just cuz western rhetoric with China, Pak constituting the IT power hub ... (4) Bangladesh has also freed itself from ur poisonous propaganda .. (u lie... before 1971 it was korean war had most POWs taken after WW2 ... and its not big deal all such wars freed or traded with one thing or other)..

we have everything here why people are going to Abroad for tourism, first see India and then go to near by nations and look east. Dont go to west. west is waste.

As someone who has lived outside India for decades, the recent immigrants and tourists to the west from the India are the primary cause of anti-India visa sentiments.

indian should learn the truth , west always hate us..its just some political drama and so called trade tie us etc..but they dont like us in fact these-days stabbing , kidnapping , murder us

What is this west this west that BS ??? Ask the countries that India had joined in BRICS to grant them VISA's

True - as an NRI, I have to think twice before going to another country while my colleagues from west have the mobility freedom! Sometimes it is embarrassing. Hope we our passport ranking jumps up soon!

There is more illegal immigrant from India to west learn country than western people illegally immigrants in India. That why immigration has more question than when going for visa application because many people don’t return back even after visa is expired. So this give more question for west to give visa or not for Indian visa holder

Typical Godi Palki is at it again. Blaming the west for indian passport decline. Palki henley is an independent organisation, not owned by government. Read on google what parameters they use to rank passport. It's very simple, even someone like you would understand it. ?hopefully ? when you gonna stop this type stupid content and make true content about problems india is facing.

As Economies of West Shrink, immigration to the west is bound to decrease.

delusional pajieeta the indians need the west more than the west needs indians

The process for Visa and the backup documents is pretty transparent and available at the country's or VFS website. I have been travelling to Europe and my visa has not been rejected. But I still do see a lot of people not understanding the process, documentation required. The documentation is usually about proof of stay, proof of travel and proof of financial strength. Please do not talk about the 5th largest economy. We are 143rd in GDP per capita. Among the illegal immigrants into USA India ranks third, to the UK it ranks 9th and is a significant number into the EU. With immigration a hot topic in the west today, this was inevitable.

Most of the Indians dont come back after visiting west . All want to be illegal immigrant so I guess this is justified

Running your mouth is easy ! The west might require indian talent ..but the talent is dying to go to the west ! You decide, who needs who more ! Yapping away for no reason !

Majority of Indians are not tourist. They are trying to come to the west to stay here permanently. That is why 30 & 40 year olds are coming as students ?

It's EU and West new income policy...

West Wont Answer what Madam ? Why they Rank Indian Passport so low???? I am an Indian who is living in Canada, we Indians really need lessons on honor decency professionalism and credibility, they have ruined Canada upside down, thrash everywhere unethical real estate trades, peeing on the road , pooping in the river ,my god the list goes on, as an indian myself i am feeling so much embarrassed , only assimilating high professional and character Indians should be allowed to travel abroad, i am glad that they are rejecting and the passport rating is so low

Thank you for this report Palki Ji. It's incomprehensible that countries like Cuba, Burkina Faso are above India in the Hinley's Passport Index.. there are certain things that are west led that need to be challenged by us Indians and the govt mainly... i see this also in thie financial markets as well...

Indians need to drop certain behaviors when they leave India and learn how to behave in the west. Maybe then, some countries may reconsider their visa formalities. I’m predicting that SE Asian countries are going to soon remove visa on arrival status for Indians because of their tactless behavior exhibited for all to see.

It's clearly differentiation west do with Indian passport. I faced many issues with EU visas processing, specially for FR and they never provide clear answer but just sound like reason for eating visa fees.

Stop having kids if you cant take care of them indias problemas are not the worlds problem over 28 million indians have fled india and even renounced their indian citizenship shamefull \n\nThe 25 million who traveled abroad did the come back ???\n\n5th largest economia where 90 % of Indians are poor ?????? all trying to flee India as they hate India\n\nThe West doesn't rely on Indian talents Indians rely on the the western companies they work for for dirt cheap by the way ?

The problem is fear that Indians will travel to the West and not go back. Not just Indians, but Africans, South Americans and many Asian countries do the same. I've lived in the US for 55 years. There was an Indian music troop that came to the US to perform, maybe 20 people, including singers, musicians, comedians etc. After their tour in the US, half of them did not return to India. They figured they can make a better living in the US and live here as an illegal immigrant. This is too common. The next time when a troop of musicians want a US visa, chances are the immigration office will think twice about approving a visa. I can travel anywhere with a US passport because people know that Americans will return back to the US.

It is very good...I hope a day comes...all counries west of India reject Indians...travel within India....India has everything ..beahes, mountains, forests, waterfalls, desert....probably Indian babus out of shame and greed will then improve the infra within India

Yes it’s time for equal request as you can see this ranking is nothing but strong arming us to keep us down. But if west and Europe and all others country if they want India’s working force then they need to give us visa free access and stop this bullshit raking and give India actual rank free of politics and hate. \n\nWe Indians are not growing to steal anything from anyone but taking our rightful place of being the oldest civilisation who take all with us in growing our self and others Vasudev Kutumbakm!

Indians IT professionals made a good impression to allow for fellow indians to come. But the current middle class Indians make the west feel like you are living in India. I don't know what you are talking about Palki. There are more Indians than any other nation in the west.

Most of the Indians travel to the west want to stay back in there. Go ahead go, go to Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia etc there you cannot stay back, you will be arrested. In the us Indians are 3rd largest illegals living there, that tells all. If USA was closer to india, all the Indians would be the majority in the USA

I support china in this case. They built west on their land. So, no need to travel outside. Rather, west now comes to China. India needs to do the same. We got talent but we are after money. Thanks to those who came back from west and is making India a beautiful place. Request the people of India to support the government and to do little in making India great again.

Don’t blame the West. By your own account UAE, Australia, NZ are not technically western. I am sure getting a Visa to Japan, South Korea is equally tough. USA faces substantial illegal immigration from India mainly Gujarat. I am sure same is true of Europe. Don’t blame the passport index. How come China fares better and Singapore and Malaysia are among the best? Introspection instead of Jingoism is the solution.

Indian are not coming to west for tourism purpose..they are are the visa over stayer. Most of the Indian student and visitor came to Canada either fled to USA or filed for asylum and that the reason Mr. To Do had to resign.

Indians needs a better vetting process to earn the trust of the world, it speaks volumes that even some developing African countries are more welcomed and trusted in the west than Indians.

3:36 har ek chiz me west west nahi bhaunka karte agar pata nahi hai to pata kar na vo list apne man se nahi banate hai vo list is baat ki hai ki kis desh ke passport se sabse jyada desho me visa free entry milti hai thoda padh Likh ke godi kitna muh me legi

Keep bitching about west look at our politicians who are supposed to give us the best life in the world. You have no guts to talk about it , but you tell the whole world how they should be treating you.

The west doesn't need any more uber drivers - simple.You can package it however you want but WE know it is all an emigration wave.We are already fending off millions without having to deal with billions more.

I agree with the ranking, and the west doesn't need indian talent, india needs the west. Keep your talent, that way you won't need any visa. Kosova people are not demonstrating in host nations they visit like Indians, Burkina Faso is not over populating other countries illegally that's why they are better than India and if they immigrate they learn the culture and integrate. Take and inside look and find out why evry country finds u unpleasant

India can't control its own population growth, and have been exporting labor as their chief commodity for the past two centuries, Why should Indians get visas to the West? They never return home.

When west was colonizing, they never sought visa from the countries which they were colonizing. When the loot was complete, suddenly visa and passport came up.
