A big stereotype is that a 'Punjabi beat ' is always played when there is a video related to India xD!

"Indians are always late" Every Indian: flight is at 9 am we will go to airport by 4 30 am.

in any hollywood movie whenever an indian shows up they play that “sitar” music 🤦🏽‍♂️

"Wherever Indians go, you can't take the indianess out of them" Wise words other people countries should just know of lol

I'm not even indian and I get mad when people call the language ''indian''

"She was very beatiful and I am very handsome" - now that`s what I call an adequate self-esteem lol

That intro music was the biggest stereotype.....😂😂

I'm German and I'm always late, my German friends hate it. Perhaps I was Indian in my last Life

The intro music is a stereotype. Not every Indian is Punjabi we have our own music.

For me, the most annoying stereotype would be "How do you know English?!" or if they're worse "How can you read?" I'm Indian, NOT illiterate...

I'm Afro-Indo Jamaican and I always wanted to know more about my Indian ancestry. I doubt I will ever truly find out, but I still honor that part of me when I can.

They : "Indian accent is funny" Also they : "Swami Vivekamunnun", "Suchin Tindukur", "Virat Kuli".

"Indians are always late" Don't worry, Filipinos also. 😂

Myth: Indians are only different shades of brown. Truth: Indians come in all colours; it doesn't matter whether you're Kashmiri, Parsi, South Indian, North eastern, Anglo, eastindian, etc.

Growing up in the southern US,being from a very poor family I never knew much about my ancestry other than I was of "mostly" European ancestry. But I always knew that there was something different about me and so did everyone else .I was always being asked if I was Mexican or Native American etc because I had a much darker complexion that most of the kids I went to school with...I always assumed that I was part Native American (and I am) and that would explain my different physical appearance. But I was always curious as to where my ancestors came from....so when genetic genealogy became a "thing" I tested with several DNA testing companies and had several family members tested as well. It was a huge surprise to learn that I had DNA matches with the descendants of people that left Northwestern India(possibly from the Rajasthan area) almost 1000 years ago! My maternal uncle even has a solid DNA match with a man from that part of India. Now I have an almost insatiable hunger to learn about my ancestors and their places of origin. I'd love to someday visit India and meet the people.

Im a Malaysian Indian!!!! And I can relate to this!!! Its soo cool tht we Indians no matter where in the world.. We are all connected :')

The dark-skinned girl in the middle of the two persons is gorgeous! OMG!

It’s not that they smell like curry, it’s just the kitchens & apartments in most other countries “especially western countries” aren’t really built for cooking these types of food so everyone smells like the food they cook

Indians are amazing people. Many of my best friends from Grad school are Indians and I was lucky enough to travel throughout India with them after and experience the beautiful, vibrant multiculturalism of the country.

The part where she said 'you cannot take the indianness out of us' is SO TRUE. I'm from Kenya and there's a large Kenyan-Indian population here and they've been here for decades who have all held onto their culture so strongly - I absolutely love it

I'm a European woman married to an Indian man and we live in India, no plans of leaving :) 1. While software engineer still is a popular degree to get, I've seen Indians excel in any field they put their mind to. Doctors, lawyers, physics, pharmacy, maths, arts, you name it, the brain power here is insane! 2. My husbands hates modern Bollywood with a passion. For him good Bollywood stops in the mid 90s. (Personally I prefer classic 1960s Bollywood). But yeah, it is a HUGE and massively popular industry. We live in Mumbai. Every other person here dreams of entering the business. A little bit of dancing is a must especially on weddings. You cannot refuse. But everyone's very lenient towards others and themselves about the quality of their 'moves'. 3. Never even once I met an Indian in India who smelled like curry. That's cause we have exhaust fans in kitchens here. I guess if you cook the same foods in western apartments especially with windows clothes you won't be able to avoid it. But I prefer someone smelling like curry any time over someone smelling of sausage or booze (both super common in my home country). 4. Contrary to popular belief arranged marriage does not equal forced marriage. Mostly parents and extended family will keep suggesting people to you and you can say no or yes. Another way round is that you have an idea who you'd like to marry and your folks do a kind of background check on them by getting in touch with the other family. Your family can indeed veto your choice if they find you incompatible, but they won't force you to marry a certain person. I mean by law you can still marry whoever you want, but most Indians love their families and wouldn't want to alienate themselves from them by going against their wishes. It's just a traditional form of match making and most people I ever met, young and old, find it completely natural. It's just normal. In urban places though love marriage (without parental involvement) is more and more common. However, arranged marriages still prove to be way more long lasting, love marriages often not so much. That has to do with divorce being quite a taboo still though. Again you'll find more divorce in urban areas, where people tend to be not as traditionalist. As someone who didn't grow up with the concept of arranged marriage, I could never imagine it for myself, but I do understand the value of it in the Indian context. India is an insanely complex place with so many various religions, cultures, subcultures, languages, customs, traditions, food restrictions etc. It does in many ways more often than not make for a smoother marriage if you and your partner do come from the same or at least a similar sub-group. 5. Yes, they are always late (for private meetups that is). It's something I struggled with a lot in the beginning. I'm a German, go figure. But it's fine, they all show up at some point. You get used to it. But boy did I read a lot of books and bought a lot of random crap while waiting for people in the beginning. 6. Yes, and it's contagious. I am unable at this point to buy anything online at the normal price. I have to wait for discounts to come on. Thankfully Indian online shopping knows their customers and puts up special offers all the time. Btw. there is some places even in India where you cannot bargain, malls, supermarkets and department stores eg. But again, special offers are a-plenty. Never hurts to ask ;) Btw. even salespeople love to bargain. Like, if you are at certain street stalls that expect their customers to bargain, it seems to be part of their day's fun for the seller as well. I've seen sellers react so disappointed if someone just accepted the first given price. Like lovelessly stuffing the goods in a plastic bag and not giving the customer another glance after handing it over. When you had a fun back and forth, maybe with some light hearted jokes sprinkled in, even if you're paying suddenly just a quarter of the first given price, the seller is all smiles, gives you another freebee on top and asks you to come back again soon. 7. I hardly hear it anymore and during my last visit to the US my American friends from way back when were shocked that I (!!!) also had developed an Indian accent. Well, I'll take their word on it. But thing is, if you speak with a British or American accent here, most people just won't understand you. Anyway I find Indian English is a form of English in its own right. It's charming. Thank you for this entertaining video! Everyone in the video seemed very sweet and funny! :)

I'm from Mars and people down there thinks, it's hard to come to Mars, but when I see up in the sky, I can see Indian MOM circling around my planet. hahah

When I heard Indian/Indians: Fast-learner, Wise, Humble, and most of all, thr sense of humor wins.

I'm brazilian and I LOOOOVE INDIIIIIIAAAA

India as whole: We'll be superpowers! Indian Politicians: Am I a joke to you?

here in South Africa Indians are example of good successful community. They very good, friendly and successful people.

American here. Married to an Indian, I think my favorite part was them talking about saving money. It’s true. I sometimes have to walk away when my husband is “discussing the price” ❤️

Arranged marriage: If you're hot, I'm down😂😂😂😂😂😂

Went to Australia For the World Cup.. Get into A Club.. A Girl asked me Where Are you from ? I told her i m from India and She Said " You Don't smell Indian " .. Really Wanna Know what Do Indians living outside india Do so that these guys make such assumptions . 😂

I married a half-Indian. I got lovely & smart & beautiful daughters.

I've been asked "Are you from Hindi?" I wasn't even offended, cus he's from non-English speaking country.

I love the Indian accent!! Best accent ever! My husband is Indian, I have to show him this video!

Indians are very smart and learn languages quickly, they are proud of their culture but have a very humble and polite attitude.

I'm in love with indian food, the best cuisine in whole world for me. I cook mainly indian dishes so yeah, I'm a white girl that smells like curry and I'm fine with that :D. Here where I live the food people eat is tasteless, they think that salt and pepper is enough of seasoning. There is one or maybe two ways to prepare a certain type of meat and it tastes like paper soaked in fat. I was considering becoming a vegetarian cause I didn't know how good meat can taste. It's totally different experience with indian food and now I'm truly passionate about cooking and eating.

2:16 : LMAO ... my husband is Indian. before we bought our house: we lived in apartments or extended stay places. Our neighbor, two stories up, came down when I was in the pool to tell me that my husband's cooking was making THEIR eyes water and could he please shut the sliding glass door when he cooks. I was like ... NOOOO don't make me close that door! I'm gonna DIE! I think if my husband ever ran out of spices, he would just spray pepper spray into the pan and call it mild. I THOUGHT I'd have gotten used to it after ten years of marriage. No. I've lost my gallbladder, had the **WORST** morning sickness in history, and now our kiddo and I hide upstairs to try to escape the spices. There is no way I *DONT* smell like curry when he's been in the kitchen RUINING my spaghetti sauce by 'fixing it' with Indian spices and putting eggs in it. **grrrrrrr Never mess with spaghetti sauce! Ten years and he still says my sauce is a great curry base...* and to Sabby for his 'in a hundred years everyone is going to look like us" Ummm... I can tell ya: Indians and Whites make dang cute kiddos. My sons adorable and somehow between my deep green eyes and my husband's dark brown..... our kid has bright amber eyes... yes... amber (looks orange). He's stunning!

Indians are cool as , so down to earth ,practical and very open hearted ♥ Much love from New Zealand 🇳🇿

1) INDIANS have different Skin Tone. 2)INDIANS have different language like 1400+ including 22 official language.(Hindi is not a National Language). 3)INDIAN has more than 8 movie industry not only Bollywood. Example Sandalwood, Kollywood, Toolywood, Mollywood, Pollywood ETC) 4) ALL INDIANS don't smells like curry its made up comedy.

I'm actually a Canadian guy dating an Indian girl from India proper as of writing this; here is What I can tell you from what I've observed: 1. Definitely what parents WANT - not necessarily the case. My GF is in a science-affiliated field but nowhere near engineer. Her parents are either in business or military. So - half truth, half myth! 2. My GF HAAAAAAATES Bollywood/Tollywood/Indian Cinema XD She's more into comic book movies like me, we're massive nerds - so often myth! 3. My GF has never once, in the months we've dated, smelled like curry. Myth!! 4. Arranged marriages are still suuuuuuper common in India and here in the South Asian community, but over time they've become much less... "arranged" arranged, both partners have loads of input and it's extremely consensual in *the overwhelming majority* of cases. Incidentally, I am caucasian and her parents are more or less cool with it, and her parents are definitely not in a very traditional marriage arrangement. So - true, but NOT ALWAYS!! 5. In the months we've been together, my GF has been early, on time and late on different occasions - but her brother is ALWAYS late XD so truth AND myth!! 6. The cheap part is TOO REAL - my GF is VERY aware of finances, though over time she has mellowed, and so is her family - definitely true XD 7. The accent part may be the strangest part of all - after having lived here for a year, my GF's accent is mostly Canadian with some Indian-isms (comparable to Shreya's in the video), but when she speaks to her family or anyone who is Indian, she *INSTANTLY* adopts a full Indian accent - it's a very peculiar and wonderful thing to watch happen, because languages interest me a lot and her accent switching is quite impressive! Strangely enough, both truth AND myth! Overall, dating my GF has been a wonderful joyous experience as we are such compatible humans with much in common and much to learn from one another!! She is truly wonderful and I'm grateful to be with her. Thank you for the excellent content guys - keep it up, and keep breaking down your barriers everyone!!

ISHWAR (THE GUY WITH THE YELLOW CAP ON) is soo fine

As an Aussie - I love Indians and the diversity of cuisine from there. Sure things get heated around a test series when our cricket side is touring and vise versa but it all stems from love. Love of just not losing to fucking England!

I have traveled to India and I love the FOOD! They are so spot on with the FOOD! I ate until I was tired!

India is a huge diverse country​... Generalizing it is bad

I'm a Latina dating an Indian guy ☺️ Idk I'm just on an Indian related video binge I guess to get my knowledge up 😂

I went to India 7 years ago and it was the best experience of my life. Best two months of my life 😍 I want to go back so bad

Northeast Indians, me included, would say "myth" to most of these questions.

I remember being told that I was betraying India because I was a Christian and according to my European classmates and British classmates I should be Hindu.... I swear to God I wanted to knock them out of their senses

“Do you speak Indian?” is the same as..... “Do you speak American?” “Do you speak Hispanic?”

Indian people are very polite and kind (besides being smart). Love from Colombia 🇨🇴 and the USA 🇺🇸

Dating and an Indian and I agree the accent is gonna become sexy in a couple of years

India gave us Shahrukhan, Sanjey Dutt , Amir khan , sunil and shilba sheti, Mutumna ("shiba shiba ") Sorry if I spelled the names wrong but India is cool

6:35 is true. I'm indo caribbean although we're very different we're also very simillar at the same time. you can't take out the Indianess

I'm Indian and my Dad is always really late to everything. If he says he's going to visit at 1pm, I plan on having him arrive at 3pm and that's literally the case 100% of the time.

This telugu girl ( divya) from south india is beautiful and exotic , a indian black beauty !! South indians in general are blessed with their dark skin tone !!

For me the most annoying thing is that people assume that India is hell or some kind of yoga centre. Cmon, atleast visit the country. There are so many regions that you won’t feel like you’re traveling in one country. Every region is so different and in contrast to each other. And that’s what we pride on ‘Unity in Diversity’. We believe everyone is equal. So go tour India this spring, cause it’s the time of festival of colors. Happy Holi in advance

A long time ago I was a property manager. Indians may not smell like curry. But when they moved out of an apartment we always had to change the carpet and paint the walls. That funk was everywhere. Places were always horrible when a group of Indian men moved out after the academic year.

the stereotype that i faced was this white girl asking me how my english is so good,and i was like duh my first language is english,what did u expect me to speak?Curry?

India was a country I would have LOVED to have visited while in the Navy... I was an East Coast Sailor, so I got to see the Mediterranean Countries... And the Persian Gulf...

im studying software engineering rn and in my classes, I’m honestly the only white/Hispanic girl. Everyone else is either a white guy or an Indian guy and honestly, I’m cool with it. I love meeting people of different cultures so it’s a win win

such an interesting culture. i think the stereotypes about most indians being engineers is a good one, means a lot of em are smart :)

I am a South African of Indian heritage and I can totally relate. People often say , " Wow, that's so nice, you don't sound Indian" . It is offensive and dont know how to respond.

Thank you , this video is amazing , I was born in India but I was adopted and raised in Italy. Many of these stereotypes are so true.

India is huge country with lot of diversity so Generalisation of stereotypes is bit difficult still you have done very good job Marina. Especially about IT, Arrange marriages, Bargaining 😂 But I guess most of the people in the video are North Indians so it had North Indian flavour. So my foreigner friends if you visit central or southern India you will see complete different cultures and feel like Ohh it’s not that India which I know from Movies, Videos etc 😂

“That’s the price of good food! You want this bland food that tastes like nothing? Fine!!!” Literally every Indian who has their priorities set! 😂

I love the pair with the guy with bald head, they're funny lol

Some of my STEM classes are 99.98% Indian, with me being the lone white guy. XD They also really hate Pakistanis. The two groups actually arrange to go to different classes in order to avoid each other.

I really like Indian people and their food so good. Really cool people.

Bollywood is quiet popular in Iran. Love our sisters and brothers💖

"Divya" is so damn gorgeous

i am israeli and my grandparents from my mother side are indian and they live in india and the indian people respect us (the jews) not like Eruope... so i flew to India (kochi, karela) and i see where my grandparents live and i discover that the indians are the most nice people in the world love from israel

I loved every second of this😂 And for the record- the Indian accent is my absolute favorite!

There r many stereotypical images of India but India is really a nice country with great 1.3 billion people 🇮🇳🇮🇳

I don’t know if this happens to everyone but whenever me or my friends speak to each other, We speak the American Accent. Whenever we speak with our parents, the Indian accent flys out of our mouths with the Indian head shake. I think it’s true what the girl in the middle said! You just cannot take the india out from an Indian, where ever in the world they are!

whats annoying me most of the Time when everyone thinks based on my appearance that iam from india. and iam like no my parents are from Sri Lanka 🙄🙄

That dark skinned girl is BEAUTIFUL!!

I love the Indian accent ❤

Ishwar is so hot 🤭

😂😂😂 funny video ! Gr from Belgium 🤪 went to india last year and indeed the food is sooo good

"You don't have money for brunch. Make a sandwich and go to the park" LMAOOOO I NEED THIS GUY FOR A LIFE COACH 😂

I am Pakistani 🇵🇰 and I can understand everything in Hindi /Urdu/Panjabi/English

They for sure have a great sense of humor.

"Teach me Indian"? Really? India has 800+ different languages among which 22 are official languages. In fact, a person from one part of India has a very high chance of not knowing a language spoken in another part of India. 😂

Judging by her accent, I don't think Shreya is originally from Canada.

Honestly as an hispanic I consider indian accent is sexy af

Indians embraced the stereotype mostly when they notice it works ,especially when getting toghether. Most cultures get into stereotype,it has a bonding effect.

My boyfriend is indian, and i can say this is somewhat accurate. He went to school to be an agricultual worker and help out in rural areas, (so false.) My boyfriend loves the drama/music in some bollywood movies, other than that he loves comedy movies. He always eats veg curry. Even though his parents are for arranged marriage, they are okay if we decide to get married. So true and false. Always on time though, or sometimes early, so not true. No strong accent, but the little bit of indian accent he has is cute. I love him soo much.

These people look so different from each other Like different races still they are indians

Shreya saying how you will be fed till you are tired of eating is true. Indians are great at showing hospitality and will tell you to take more. I have had that from personal experience.

One thing that i want to tell about india is that indian culture is much more older than 10000 years or so... And countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, nepal, srilanka, bhutan, maldives are part of indian culture.. Even the word 'India' comes after the river 'Indus' and river flows in Pakistan... Mahabharata and Ramayan is not mythology but real history...

6:43 superpower 2020, prepare for us.... Tseries was just "taste of things to come". **evil laugh**

I love the Indian accent when they speak English. I think it's attractive

I like that indians doesn't have any typical look. Indians can be in any skintone, indians can have double eyes and monolids, indians can have any type of hair. We Indians are really diverse from other countries.

I really like this culture and the Indians I've met. I would love to spend a year or two exploring the country eating delicious food, making friends, taking different lovers, and practicing plenty of yoga. I am really excited for what the future holds for this country and hope as they grow they find ways to make their economy work for everyone (something we are failing miserably at), while maintaining their cultural uniqueness.

Loved it! Thank you guys for breaking the myths and stereotypes!

Our curries are far better than any food type of USA n Canada

I was watching an extended talk show from India and started to question why the Indian accent in English seems so odd to the speaker of either British or North American English. When I would hear a word that really sounded funny, I paused the program and considered it. What seemed to be true in most cases is that the Indian places the emphasis on a different syllable than most English speakers. That occasionally occurs between British and American English i.e. laboratory or aluminum, but seems to constantly occur in Indian English.

"Listen its 2019...... and this still happen" 😂😂 that was great love the self irony😆

The curry smell thing is true in particular situations. If you cook anything in confined spaces without proper ventilation, you will smell of it. Colder climate countries like UK, Canada and parts of USA are very cold and you can't just open the windows when you're cooking. Hence, you end up smelling like curry. But same is true if you cook fish or japanese or chinese food or make a huge chicken roast with loads of herbs and what not! My coats sometimes smell of curry in the winter.

Do a video about Germans react to stereotypes.

This is such a great series and channel. Been binge watching since last night!

When you're from Bangladesh so you have to settle for this
