shame thing of getting a jobs, renting, racism , partiality, discrimination, bed language happening in AUS with single female Indian international student like me ...I thought if I get out of INDIA an come to AUS I wont regret my birth as girl child but no every where its the same case at globalized level!!

India is also faces the same things.

My friend's dad is From India, and the first thing he looks at when renting his apartments is RACE. \nMy friend laughs, and openly tells me his dad won't rent to black people,... \nBut wait a minute, I thought only whites were racists...

I think subtle racism is actually a very practical type of stereotyping and it didn't just got created out of air, there is a big chunk of that specific race (be it any race according to the stereotype) who actually prove the stereotype to be right. I am from india, living in Canada and if some house owner would prefer a white guy over me to rent their house, I would not blame him since a lot of people don't like the smell of spices that we cook all the time.\n\nAs far as stereotyping is sublet and not rude or hurting, I don't think it's actually so much of racism rather then preference.\n\nI just want to make it clear though that I do support racism, whatever is happening in US and a lot of other countries which is violent is a very horrible thing. Specially black people being racially profiled everywhere including malls and by the police themselves.

I thing Canada is in big trabal be careful from Pakistan Muslims control there population make rules about there population increase .in India we r also facing problem from Muslims .be careful small message from India.

Why do so many Indians here insist India shouldn't be criticized? Why is that a bad thing?

Bhai the thing is you never work in India like you working now therefore you feel it difficult,,

Life in India is a 1000 times better. Struggle in life is important and it teaches you a lot of things, but strudel should be in studies and self betterment... I worked in a sausage factory for 2 years in the UK to pay for my rent and food. It was all a waste of time and youth

Dear , you don't have to feel sorry. I am sure your intention is very very good. Seems you are good human beings. I lives in UK for 18 years. In beginning I struggled a lot. During past 18 years I have travelled lots in various countries and seen so many settled people who are origin from respective country or are settled from ages . But you also note that thay had gone through with same as beginner going through, or might b lot . I like your post, and doesn't notice any ego or proud in that . I like that . But what I mean to say is everyone from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh , before come in English country or in any country, are starting very big dreams and after step into new country they don't accept positive things and blames only those countries where thay have gone for higher education or for earning money. Still they stay there and says here is blot like india , dongle come here , or we have to do this type of job .They don't have servants there, they have to wash their clothes themselves, cook themselves and clean house themselves . That's why thay are saying bad words for that country and still they want path of permanent residence of that country. I am not against of india but if you are staying in English country for 6 months, I request you please make video for how government works for their people, how smooth you can run your business without giving bribe to government officers , how police officers are doing their job and how pure is system . And please all these compare in India and suggest life is easy there or not . I love my country and during my 18 years in UK , I came back to India with my family to settle down the rest life but because of some government officers ( on each step asking bribe for business) , and not getting support from government, decided to go back to UK .I mean to say in English country there is value for poor person or for rich person. In india government hospital are free but look how they treat the patient. Please compair each sector and make video. If you do this would be very grateful. And please mention about politicians in English country and in India. Then people who stays there and complaining same country ( not you ) ,will realise the values . Take care. Best luck.

Dear video maker , it's nothing new in your life in Canada. Even people around the world including local people and local students are doing same . And it's nothing new to travel 2 or 3 hours in bus . People who stays in USA from ages are travelling same in car . Every students are expecting same life with them who are living in foreign from ages . Those people might had struggled more . Student has to understand before going on Student visa that with situations rather than keeping intrest in how to make money. 99 % students are interested in only money from day one .But foreign governments think that you have shown your financial documents, are enough for you to survive there even if you have no Job . And it's depends on the country, in which country you have gone and what is your qualification. If students go to UK or USA , thay might make little more money comparing to Canada, Australia or New Zealand. All students should understand before going to any country that only in USA AND UK country are the best to earn money and getting out money from there to india. Otherwise except these two countries none country is there in the world that you can make money there and send maximum money to india. Except these two countries other countries have made situation that whatever you earn there , you will have to spend in that country only. You can't save money to india for living good life in India. And it is good and thankful those countries where person after 18 years has go for job rather than being dependent on parents. And working in bakery with standing whole hours during job is not a new in those English country. They don't force to do that by law . This job is kind of that. Person has to understand job profile before joining the job . By English country law before you start job they will call you for induction and will explain what job you have to do . Life person is happy for that job , he / she can join the job . I think specially students has to look into positive things which in India students are not doing and thay have to do there in foreign countries. I am not trolling you but look into students life where local students in foreign are living and same. If you think this is struggling life then I can say this is not struggling life , students has to think first if they have gone for study or making money from first day. If you are complaining than my suggestion is that look into positive things and if you are just informing that it's good. Good luck

West is becoming India \nMuslim will play victim card and get away after doing horrific things .\n\nJust ask them - are they allowed to be friends with non muslims , when they are in majority ??\n\nQuran says that - when muslims are weak they can pretend to be friends with non muslims but as soon as they gain power they should convert non muslims to muslims or CUT THEIR THROATS

I can understand her pain & i know how it’ll be when there are lots of immigrants who do shitty things even if it’s not their country, respect you mam ❤️ from India ??

Nice job, I wish they do the same thing in usa, lot of students coming from india, china study at shadow universities, do not go back once done with their studies. I wish usa be more hard on people who breach visa terms.

I'M BROWN AND LIVE IN BRAMPTON. I HATE THIS PLACE WITH THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. NO CANADIAN CULTURE. IGNORANCE IN EVERY DIRECTION. THESE PPL DONT WANT TO ADAPT BUT KEEP THE SHITY OLD MENTALITY FROM INDIA. PARK WHEREVER AND DRIVE LIKE THEIR BLIND. THEY ONLY CARE AND WHAT'S CONVENIENT FOR THEM. ANY ONE DEFENDS THESE PEOPLE WITH THEIR COMMENTS BECAUSE THEY CANT TAKE THE TRUTH IS A PEICE OF SHIT. PLEASE BRAMPTON TAKE SHOWER. SMELL GOOD. STOP PLAYING THAT ANOYING MUSIC SO LOUD AND PROUD. REST OF US ARE LAUGHING AT YOU. THESE PPL GAVE BROWN FOLKS SUCH A BAD NAME. NOT ALL OF US ARE LIKE THIS. MAINLY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT FROM INDIA. THAT PLACE IS OUT OF CONTROL AND WHEN THEY COME HERE. THEY DO THE SAME. I WISH CANADIAN GOVERNMENT PUT STRICT RULES ON HOW TO MAINTAIN CANADIAN CULTURE FOR IMMIGRANTS. THINGS WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR. WHAT A DISGRACE!! AGGGHHH!!!

My distant aunt is kind, generous, clean, beautiful and might embrace me with open heart if I stay at her home, but I will not abuse my mother, because she is poor, illiterate, unclean, smelly and look terrible. If you can do that, then you are a living moron. You will not delay a moment to abuse Canada too, if things go otherwise. And, the irony is, people who don't like India, proudly sporting Ganne ka Juice. Why this nostalgia?

The most hurtful thing in this video is that they are not accepting India as it is which is their own country after all.....and they complaining about law and order,cleanliness etc...Common If u really would have loved ur own country u people should have came back and strived collectively for making India better....

Yeah ok you people are living there for better education system, infrastructure, good quality of life but one thing never forget that you guys are basically indian and never forget it, love canada but don't criticise your own motherland ( india) jai hind ( yad kro kurbani apne ancestors jinhone hme azad kraya) proud to be indian

This is nothing... Go visit Surrey or Abbotsford in BC, Canada. Largest population of East Indians outside of India. I do have a few issues... if it's a multicultural country then come on Canada, letting in more of one race over another is unfair and unwanted. I don't want to see Chinese and East Indians making up the entire population of Canada in 50 years. I also want to say FUCK the relaxation of motorcycle helmet laws for Sikhs. They made a fool of Canada when they did this. Seems like they don't have a problem wearing a helmet when playing ice hockey. Not to mention they look ridiculous riding a Harley while wearing a turban. I am insulted as a Canadian how east Indians try to exploit or change Canada's laws. Oh and let's not talk about the gang violence brought on by the east Indians in BC. Too bad Canada can't deport the parents who turned a blind eye to their sons illegal activities in gangs. The parents are completely to blame. Innocent people are being shot and killed in quiet neighbourhoods around Vancouver. I wish I could say nice things about east Indians but it's quite hard to.

I m also Indian,I never went to college because my father can't affort that time ,now I m also earning more then 3k (doller ) in a month in india,all you need to do hardwork and focus on the right things, in India you can earn more then anywhere else ,but people don't try often, but people like easy thing so they go to abroad

The most foolish thing people do is to compare INR to Canadian Dollar when they talk about their wages and expenses. People who live in India are not earning in dollars so it makes no sense to talk about how the min wage for a week here is equivalent to a person's monthly income in India. The cost of living is very proportional. At minimum wage here you can only access necessities and not luxuries or your wants, just like any other nation. The perks of being here are not economical but rather the law and order, safety, quality of education and health care.

Call me whatever, but India has been dealing with this for a very long time, probably since 1980s. I dont hate islam but I dont love it either. Let's just say that I wouldnt buy a house in Muslim neighborhood. It has been a nuisance to India since a long time, every time we screamed in UN for help. We got shut down until the problem reached world wide. People say it started happening since Iraq and syrian war which is slightly incorrect. This problem has been there since ages prior to war, It just manifested on a high level recently. There are so many examples...This religion feeling which later turns into violence starts with your own house, your upbringing and your own values. If a kid is used to seeing his mom being suppressed then when he grows up, dont expect much from him. Now every community has this issue but in Muslim community it is engraved in you the moment you open your eyes on planet earth. You cannot defend the argument when someone says Women are suppressed in mulsim culture. The most hurtful thing happening is in UK. A country which gave you food, shelter, respect, a better life. You are trying to impose your values on it? As a matter of fact, good muslims should come out openly and boycott these terrorist who are trying to create chaos if they really want to show good intentions but you wont see any (for obvious reasons). They often cry about they being a victim but what about other people?? If all good muslim come out and boycott bad muslims then that would be a thing to appreciate and notice. In last you cant clap with one hand! Remember that.

This is the same thing they do everywhere, play the minority card. In India they are champions in this and tell how oppressed they are currently. \nNobody discusses the countless Hindus and natives killed by invaders who came from arab land. When our country got Independence they revolted and demanded a separate country Pakistan.\nAlways remember they can never be secular, it's either their way or the highway and the Muslim countries are the best example to prove that point.
