India is a diverse and vibrant country with a rich culture and history. It has made some significant contributions to the world. Amid the developmental challenges, it has also made significant progress in various fields like technology, science, innovation, etc. However, like any other country, India has challenges such as poverty and pollution. However, foreign media often misrepresents or exaggerates India, and it is presented as a ‘dirty and poor’ country.
Recently, a Russian vlogger shared a video on social media giving a tour of ‘dirty and poor India’ in Mumbai. The video has gone viral on social media, triggering a hilarious ambience in the comments section.
In the video, the Russian girl is seen drenched in Holi colours. As she walks down a lane, she shows the proximity. While she speaks in Russian, the text on the video reads, “Gonna show you poor India.”
She shows a towering residential building and says, “Only ‘povos’ live in this building.” Next, she is seen walking on the road in Bandra West, which has several buildings nearby. As the text in the video reads, “The whole district is only for poor people.”
Next, as she passes by a residential area with several lavish buildings, she says, “Slums.”
“See for yourself, guys. It’s absolutely not suitable for living,” she continues as she turns her camera to show the towering buildings.
Further, the text on the video reads, “Shocked, how they could live in THESE? Horrible!”
Next, she shows a lavish residential building and says, “Look at this ugly house! Obviously, these people barely make ends meet. Didn’t see such poverty anywhere.”
“Gonna give them Rs 20,” she said.
Of course, the Russian girl was being sarcastic while showing the lavish life of people in India while some particular persons from around the world tag India as a poor and dirty country.
The video is shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Lord Immy Kant with a caption reading, “A Russian travels to India and shows the poor parts of India. India is really dirty, poor, ugly houses, ugly cars and everything. Check out.” (sic) The video has gone viral and over 4.2 million users have viewed it. While over 10K users liked it, the comments section is flooded with hilarious comments.
