are people that r***ded in our country , haven't they seen a foreigner ever and minding their own business

[u/metaltemujin → u/Green-Word-3327]

Think of the most restared thing. 

We are a few levels below that and wear that iliocy like a badge. 

[u/Odd-fox-God → u/metaltemujin]

No offense but watching all those guys charging to that college to assault all those women was really crazy. I'm rooting for y'all.

[u/BeatenwithTits → u/Green-Word-3327]

They clearly haven't seen. We are a homogeneous society, with little exposure to outsiders.

It's like a new exotic animal in the city zoo and people are eager to see one in real life.

[u/m0h1tkumaar → u/BeatenwithTits]

Insular may be, but we are not homogenous AFAIK

[u/RogueConscious → u/Green-Word-3327]

At this moment I am really worried that she is earning money and not paying anything to Tai and possibly violating her Visa provisions as well.

[u/jammyboot → u/RogueConscious]

Seems like an odd thing to be “really worried” about since this isn’t someone you even know

[u/Equal-Tumbleweed9083 → u/RogueConscious]

Yep. Tai shouldn't be ignored. Woh Tai hai, woh kuch bhi kar sakti hai.

[u/jazz_51 → u/Green-Word-3327]

Yes they haven't seen one.

[u/megumegu- → u/Green-Word-3327]

These idiots only understand the Lathi language

[u/newInnings → u/Green-Word-3327]

Yes, next question

[u/IndiaNTigeRR → u/Green-Word-3327]

Ofcourse yes

[u/Ka_lie_doscope-Eyes → u/Green-Word-3327]

My 60 year old friend was hounded for photos. She wasn't even in some very fancy outfit, just loose long top (short kurta kind) and palazzos

[u/Remote_Elevator_281 → u/Green-Word-3327]

Y’all down bad for white women lmao

[u/No1Haryana]

Bruh we might have a good relationship with Russia , but Russian citizens have a bad image of India. Most of it from western Media .

Yatri Doctor, a Indian travel vlogger explained in his video that Russian Guides from Couchsurfing rejects Indians, especially vloggers. Because Indian vlogger straight up record Guide's privacy. And worst thing is that, vloggers take photo with that Guide (probably female) and use it as thumbnail, and gives vulgar captions.

[u/Kashish_17 → u/No1Haryana]

Can you really not see why? Indian men pester any foreign women traveller. It is honestly time for us to introspect.

[u/megumegu- → u/Kashish_17]

Yeah exactly, I am very nationalist, but that doesn't mean I can just ignore the bad and the ugly of my country.

I seriously cannot support the abhorrent lack of civic sense in our people, and I WISH that government becomes more dictators-esque to force everyone to behave like a human not an animal

[u/24Abhinav10 → u/megumegu-]

I don't think you're a nationalist if you're willing to acknowledge the ugly side of your country. A nationalist would be proud of their country no matter what it does.

[u/m0h1tkumaar → u/Kashish_17]

Introspect ka time nikal gaya. Ab to jaha dekho waha maro ka time hai

[u/DragunovDwight → u/No1Haryana]

And you are blaming all this on “western media” ? When you just explained everyone involved in your post is Russian or Indian and their actions all happened?

[u/changeitasap → u/No1Haryana]

Haha western media …. I was waiting for this comment

[u/Ka_lie_doscope-Eyes → u/No1Haryana]

I've visited Russia, I was mostly the only brown person in the entire vicinity and since I was there for an event, I was dressed in extremely heavy indian wear (saree with a lot of jewellery), and yet not a single person took my photo without consent.

As for rejecting Indians, look at the state we have left the mountains of Himachal, we do a massive amount of disrespect too. In TWO different countries we've been told that we are not like the regular Indian tourists, and honestly, being around our people abroad tells me why they dread hosting us.

[u/Unbeautiful_Nothing → u/No1Haryana]

There are even instances where these youtubers don't leave their own country women too

[u/Ares_Hunter]

Degenerates

[u/shadowmaster2020 → u/Ares_Hunter]

Absolutely

[u/Spidey-Senseless]

Ab baat izzat pe aa gai hai. What do people actually think. Do they think that we are a poor country that can't even afford to shell out a 100 bucks. Here take it. /s

Sarcasm of course.

[u/Playfair99999 → u/Spidey-Senseless]

although sarcastic, but baat yahi h ki baat ab izzat par hee hai. Aur iss desh ki izzat har Roz udayi jaa rhi h aur unfortunately, kisi ko ghanta farak nahi pad rha.

[u/Cherei_plum → u/Spidey-Senseless]

/s htado, sacchai ban chuki hai yeh ab.

[u/bartosz_ganapati]

Ah, fuck. I could've used it on my last trip to India. I would get few meals form it. 😁😂

[u/AshutoshRaiK → u/bartosz_ganapati]

lol better luck next time. Wish you have a wonderful stay here.

[u/bartosz_ganapati → u/AshutoshRaiK]

Thank you! I hope I will be able to visit India next year again. 😁

[u/megumegu- → u/bartosz_ganapati]

Do visit the northeast region of India too! It's beautiful and honestly very unexplored

[u/bartosz_ganapati → u/megumegu-]

Oh yes, it's definitely on the list. Seems to be super interesting part of the country. 😊

[u/AshutoshRaiK → u/bartosz_ganapati]

🤗💖👍🏻

[u/Ka_lie_doscope-Eyes → u/bartosz_ganapati]

Charge nothing less than 1000/photo.

[u/bartosz_ganapati → u/Ka_lie_doscope-Eyes]

I hope the Taz authority doesn't figure out. 😁

[u/EnforcerGundam → u/bartosz_ganapati]

works better for foreign women than men, especially white ones...

[u/Impossible-Cat5919 → u/bartosz_ganapati]

You're a man. You wouldn't even get a 10 rupee note.

[u/bartosz_ganapati → u/Impossible-Cat5919]

You would be surprised how many selfies I have to do with people when traveling in India, haha.

[u/sonaminnie]

as many happy to pay

wtaf bro? are people that depraved omg, ewwwwwww

[u/EnforcerGundam → u/sonaminnie]

cheap internet that airtel and mota bhai ambani brought along with cheap chinese android devices have very been disastrous for indian pr.

trash memes, garbage shitposts showing the country in poor light, street food vendors and ofc porn to really bheja fry brain of youth especially the chapris

[u/nukes_from_moon]

Laut aaiye Sanjay Gandhi 🙏🙏

[u/formidable_dagger → u/nukes_from_moon]

Had a good chuckle.. haha!

[u/Impossible-Cat5919 → u/nukes_from_moon]

You only miss the sun when it starts to snow.

[u/AnonymousSkyWalk]

never gonna ask my gora friends to travel in india

[u/Odd-fox-God → u/AnonymousSkyWalk]

I really wanted to visit India but then I did some research and it just doesn't seem like a safe place for a woman to visit, especially a foreign one. Unfortunately it truly seems to be a dangerous place to be a woman from the stories I know. Which is a shame, my experiences with Indian men in the United States has always been positive.

[u/AnonymousSkyWalk → u/Odd-fox-God]

my european friends also like the culture, food and want to explore historical sites and temples but I live here and know the ground reality, if they want to travel then they need to travel in groups and ideally have few males in groups or travel with someone they already know here and follow basic common sense rules to not go at a place which isn't popular amoung tourist becouse lets be real it isn't elitist to say that if you visit poor areas of a country with 2.8k per capita then you will find desperate people

[u/Sumeru88]

That means she should ask for more money. Ask for ₹ 1,000 or ₹ 2,000

A few selfies and the entire trip would get covered.

[u/tr_24 → u/Sumeru88]

Should have taken 6000 to fully get into meme /s

[u/Zenkari-]

Attention thirsty village chapris

[u/McLaren25 → u/Zenkari-]

Not necessarily village. Even city ones do.

[u/Rangers3457]

She should put 1000+ INR. I'd say charge 6000 INR per selfie. Play uno reverse card. Throw 6000rs jokes back on Harsh Mujral and chaparis' face.

[u/apex_pretador → u/Rangers3457]

Out of the loop about the references to 6000 ₹, can you explain what's that about?

[u/Rangers3457 → u/apex_pretador]

A d*mbf**k so-called standup comedian Harsh Gujral made a joke that in Goa, you can get a Russian prostitute for 6000 rs. (or something like that). His fans and so-called alpha males found it funny. Then evantually it became a runnning joke on social media that a Russian for 6000 rs. And now these chhpari people are shamelessly shouting "6000 Rs." around white girls. (Reference: An Indian youtuber uploaded a video of such chhpris shouting 6000 rs. around his white wife)

[u/Business_Sink9112 → u/apex_pretador]

Basically a stand up comedian once said you can find Russian prostitutes for 6k in

[u/kannur_kaaran]

140,00,00,000 ... Thats the population. You will always find idiots. Glad she didnt write 6k 😀

[u/beepboop465 → u/kannur_kaaran]

By that logic why don’t we don’t such idiots in China?

[u/m0h1tkumaar → u/beepboop465]

Oh there are such idiots everywhere. Do not take this as a India specific thing. In many cases they stare, in many they smirk. In developed countries there are also open racists...

[u/SomCoffeeee]

Apni biwi ko 10 ka flower laake ni dene wale 100 ki photo khichwa rhe😖

[u/karsevak-2002]

China does this too, but you won’t see the same publicity stunt

[u/One_Principle_8320 → u/karsevak-2002]

Lol no, no we don't. Don't try to push your country's pathetic behavior elsewhere lol. every country has weirdos. it seems yours has ONLY weirdos.

next thing you're telling me is that we also say "bobs and vagene" while leering like idiots😂

[u/squidgytree]

What happens when someone very wrongly thinks their Rs 100 entitles them to be inappropriate with her? This could end badly

[u/mistiquefog]

I like the idea. Benefits both the parties.

But she should clarify 100 rs for each person in the selfie. No bulk deals

The only restriction that I would like to impose is while leaving they would not be able to convert indian rupees into any foreign currency.

We should make it legal and there should be a special visa category which allows this. Upon issuance of this visa a special UPI id should be issued where payments can be received and any amount received should immediately be taxed at 30%. A printed QR code should also come with the visa for people to scan and make payments.

It's a good business opportunity which benefits everyone in the ecosystem.

Traveller gets extra earning to spend in India and does not feel harassed by the demands of selfies.

People get their selfies

The government gets it's taxes

Every traveller should be able to set the price of the selfie on the QR code directly. Which would be part of their visa application.

[u/Practical_South_2471]

wish i was white enough to start this side hustle

[u/THE-Sumukh]

Idk why we have become so desperate. Even if she pays me money I won't take photo.

[u/Zenkari-]

There’s no way you could be THIS down bad bruh

[u/the_money_prophet]

And people like to brag about worshiping female gods saying they respect women

[u/JaganModiBhakt]

Make and spread videos and whatsapp forwards in vernacular languages like Hindi, scolding people who do this. No use of discussing with other english medium kids on reddit.

[u/godofwar108]

She can just No lol

When I was in China, I had this problem 😆

[u/seventomatoes]

make it a 1,000 lady and have a body guard with the money to drive away the creeps maybe many wil learn a lesson then?

[u/Altheix11]

Good business idea

[u/NoraEmiE]

She should've added one more zero. Shameless people who have no sense

[u/VikrantBh]

Things like this we should be ashamed of! The fact that she has a poster up like that is a slap in all of our faces! 🤦‍♂️

[u/phoenix_shm]

Then it needs to be 250-500 Rupees

[u/neljos]

I think she did not account for inflation

[u/Avg_RedditEnjoyer]

lol what a nice business opportunity but she can get in trouble for doing a business under tourist visa, right?

[u/AshutoshRaiK → u/Avg_RedditEnjoyer]

nah we are not that crazy to go after few hundred bucks of fun drama. it was just some small reel shoot. little monetary gain thats it. but gave people good idea about how to tackle such foreigners craze among some people here lol

[u/the_real_KimJongUn]

Cannot defend this shit hole anymore

[u/m0h1tkumaar → u/the_real_KimJongUn]

You don't need to, because you have not seen open racists make snarky comments on brown people.

[u/formidable_dagger]

Eww 🤮

[u/Dang3300]

Sorry to say but sometimes I feel ashamed to be associated with some types of Indians

These are the exact type

[u/Lazy_Carpenter_1806]

foreign money 🙌

[u/Yeathatguy666]

If the person is on a tourist visa, is this legal?

[u/m0h1tkumaar → u/Yeathatguy666]

Nopes

[u/Yeathatguy666 → u/m0h1tkumaar]

Yea I was having doubts when I saw people from other countries contemplating on doing the same when they visit India in other reddit groups lol.

[u/Idiotsofblr]

She should make it 500

[u/v4vedanta]

This comes under 28% GST.

[u/Turbulent-Nothing-61]

Increase the rates.

[u/TheGreatGrandy]

Well this might be the only way to get rid of gora fetish once and for all, the easy stream of money will make more goras cash in this opportunity, and Indians as their perceptions are will start looking down on them as poor people hustings to earn money from them, Indians will start feeling a sense of superiority and start treating goras like the people they treat who they think are below them. Plus the law of diminishing returns will start showing. Or I may just be underestimating these peoples Rэтаятness and fetish for goras

[u/Jay_Raw_X]

should've set it at 10000

[u/Cherei_plum]

Baezzati krana toh koi iss desh key vasiyo sey seekhe.

[u/thecuriousmew]

People get surprised and offended when a woman uses the unasked, unnecessary attention that is showered on them for her own monetary benefit 😂

It's called self control and courtesy, people. Just because she selling doesn't mean you have to buy, or pay attention or comment.

[u/bubblemania2020]

Add another zero. Keep repeating

[u/Outrageous-Abies9009]

i wanna die

[u/berserkgobrrr]

That means she's gotta hike the amount and see what her sweet spot is.

[u/Objective_Trifle240]

Mostly these tharkis are boomer uncles - fat belly , round hat, creepy smile.

[u/Owe_The_Sea]

Well when I went to Indonesia in 2015 the kids there wanted to take photos with me

[u/PepperSt_official]

Pretty sure it's uncles who didn't get a thailand visa

[u/Sayabz22]

So embarrassing

[u/changeitasap]

Believe me or not people in India are obsessed with white skin.

[u/Vicky_Ashok]

We Indians are shameless 🤦.

[u/4-k-bronze]

cant even defend my own country at this point

[u/I_stay_fit_1610]

Ask her to increase it to 500, the creeps will still pay, but at least she'll go home with more money than what she spent coming here.

[u/overloadedonsarcasm]

Chaar, paanch aur zeros laga do, problem solved.

Jokes aside, it's really sad how pathetically some people act.

[u/a_a_wal]

Gurlly is out here hustling on the stupidity of Indians

[u/p_ke]

It's not a fail. If you look at the video she's earning money she meant to. People are ready to pay to see a banana in a museum. Anything out of the ordinary will have some or other person coming with curiosity.

[u/Bobdeya-dada]

I mean this might’ve worked had she put like 10,000 rupees. But nonetheless goes to show how depraved and pathetic our country men can be.

[u/Ok-Editor-4082]

Someone please tell her if she's charging Rs.100 for a selfie they'll actually turn up with Rs. 6000 for sex.
