Rickshaw Ride Down Chandni Chowk, Delhi

[tawheed4salaf]

mplawner this is the real delhi mate......alas, some fools wont understand your purpose of uploading this video and choosing this very location, for they are too much into negativity and inferiority complex that even a positive deed or remark would worry them

[mplawner]

@tawheed4salaf Thanks!

[amankamboj1]

Thanks for posting this video. And to my Indian friends, I being an Indian want these areas to be presented on world stage. We can fix the things only if we know that they exist. Ignoring the issues won't solve the them.

[drakerocker1994]

EVEN I LIVE IN DELHI AND YES SOME PARTS ARE DIRTY BUT STILL DELHI IS AN AMAZING CITY WITH LOT OF ACTIVE STUFF TO DO ....you can like it or hate it but u cant ignore it !

[rozeraseel1]

my friend i dont understand with white people we give you full respect but what you lot do you take advantage of our respect why dont you go to posh areas why you always go to old and dirty areas you got shit areas in england wich is bad then this we never put any video of it and if you dont like india then why bother going there for i dont understand i hope one day you lot will understand what is humans

[mplawner]

@rozeraseel1 I'm sorry you feel that way. This video, and other of the photographs I have taken in India are likely the focus of peoples interest because it is unique and different to the everyday experiences of those viewing it.

It has been years since I've been to Chandni Chowk, but just the other day I was discussing with my wife how much I enjoyed being there and in India and hoped I can take her one day.

[rozeraseel1]

@mplawner MY FRIEND IF YOU LIKE INDIA THEN PLEASE NEXT TIME WHEN MAKE VIDEO THEN PLEASE GO TO AREAS LIKE DEFENCE COLONY ,CONNAUGHT PLACE,DWARKA,MODEL TOWN,GREEN PARK,SOUTH DELHI,CHANKYAPURI,ETC . THESE ARE THE AREAS WHERE YOU CANT EVEN LIVE VERY EXPENSIVE EVEN YOU CAN LIVE THERE SO WHY GO TO THE SLUMS AND MAKE VIDEOS AND PUT IT ON YOUTUBE GO TO THESE AREAS AND THEN PUT VIDEO THEN PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IS OUR INCREDIBLE INDIA

[mmscott9]

I lost my passport here.

That was a fun day.

[LostandFoundTravel]

[lozkina]

[PCG1277]

Great video! Reminds me of Vietnam a little...

And some people, seriously, have issues. Don't make racist or nasty, personal comments on here. Get a life.

[MrIndoCanadian]

This is the shittiest ghetto of New Delhi.

[bannyxbimba]

[MrIndoCanadian]

@KerelasBlackSweeper watch ur mouth buddy Chandigarh is way better than Chennai motherfucker. Punjab is considered to be the second richest state in India. i am an Indian Jewish not Punjabi.

[shutupji]

They still have cycle rickshaw in Delhi i visited hyderabad recently they had none.....

[wfpereira]

Old Delhi is awesome! It's my favourite part of the city, pity it's so caotic that you can hardly stay there for 2 hours without feeling totally exhausted. Still, it's more than magic, it's divine provision that rules there. Om namah Shivaya!

[231947able]

I was always fascinated with historical Chandni Chowk and city Delhi, a bit disappointed, but still I will visit Chandni Chowk whenever got a chance to visit India. I love you the way you are, best of luck and great future, God willing.

You Sit on Langam meantime.

[varuntripathi1]

chandini chowk,rocks,,,no better place in the world

[abh3092]

the bastard video maker........this is no NEW DELHI...don't fool viewers here.....this is the old mughal capital of old delhi

[mplawner]

Abhi-ji,

I concede that I should have written "Delhi," or "Old Delhi," since New Delhi is actually south of this part of the city.

However, you are mistaken about my lineage; my parents were married when I was born, and, I'm sure you'll be happy to know, still married today.

I guess we've both learned that we should be more accurate in reporting information.

Thank you for your corrections and regards

[1958boomergirl]

@mplawner This is interesting. From what I had read in "City Of Joy" by Dominique LaPierre, I always thought only the city of Calcutta still used rickshaws probably even today in the 21st Century. They're used everywhere in India?? Wow! I sure got educated tonight!

[DR21489]

Jai Ho, NEW DELHI!!!!!

[NiteAngel]

AHAHAHAHAH lololoLLLOLOLL THATS WHAT AL GORE Wants all American to do use Rickshaws While he transports his smelly ass all over the world in his private Jet

[saulnz]

Great video mate! How safe is it there? Did you do much shopping or trading?

[mplawner]

@saulnz Was great! Haven't been back in a while, but I miss it. People (unlike some of those commenting on the video) are warm and helpful. I always felt safe, but, as a foreigner in any land, you can never properly read the security situation around you.

[saulnz]

For sure - I have travelled to Nigeria a number of times and it reminds me very much of the markets there - although Delhi seems a lot cleaner and more structured

[Techno2790]

HOLLY SHIT! This is the capital of India? unbelievable....

[aklnj]

Yes, this is the Capital. We are going to be holding the Commonwealth Games in a few months. The MAIN STADIUM is still in the design stages of course. We are piping in the water from the Ganges(Check the video.....AN UNHOLY DIP AND A HOLY SATYAGRAHA) FOR THE GAMES!!.

[abh3092]

this is not the capital of india...this is old delhi

new delhi is the capital of india......these whites do not know what is old and what is new

[MILIMMable]

I got a friend who lives in India

so I wanna go there..! Jai Ho !

[ice500]

damn i miss my delhi lol

[ploopsy666]

[qmgmoin]

It is not New Delhi yaar... It is Delhi..

[mplawner]

Thanks. Corrected.

[ikon03]

why dont u guys shut the fuck up and watch the video... like ur makin a difference barkin on youtube

[charlieking100]

Iam not being rude to indians or anything..

we know that we were plundered by the west, we welcomed Ease India Company to do business in our motherland, but they backstabbed us and looted all our wealth.. and those barbarians call themselves civilized.

but crying out of it doesnt help. we must make the best of these times and grow into better people. it takes time. but we gotta try. thats al iam saying. get out of song and dance shit of bollywood and movies and start working hard.

[charlieking100]

Correction in line 3 : * into a developed country

[charlieking100]

iam an indian ... i agree with these facts :

India has been looted by the west in 19th century and that was a major blow to it.India needs some more time to develop into a country

Indians forgot to work hard...

Indians mimic the west

Indians are lazy (at least half of them)

These days most of them watch( bollywood etc..) movies which brainwash them with pessimism, love, song and dance, retarded humor and shit..

Indians should wake up.. or they'll be made fun of for ever.

India is the emerging superpower.

Don't you know anything about India?

[by78]

Emgerging superpower? Don't you know anything? Go check on IMF, world bank, and UN reports on India and see for yourself. You hippies are apt to be hoodwinked by marketing lies (e.g. Dalai Lama did not condone slavery). Here is a short summary of India, and verify the figures yourself (you can read, can't you?):

1) 41% or 456 million Indians live below the global poverty line, which is worse than Sub-Saharan Africa.

2) 47% of all Indian children under 5 are malnourished and stunted...

[ChinaKillsNuns]

by78

This video is not about His Holiness. Are you just a spammer.

[by78]

Do you know what free speech is? Of course not, you are a supporter of slavery.  You wouldn't know what freedom of expression is even if it hits you in the head.

[ChinaKillsNuns]

Next bunch of lies please.

Why should a liar be allowed to pollute youtube.

[by78]

Why should a hippie like you be allowed to pollute the gene pool?

[ChinaKillsNuns]

by78

You are a spammer and liar who should be banned from many videos.

[by78]

Yawn... same old comeback. My standard, boilerplate reply, "you are a hippie who should be removed from the gene pool."

[ChinaKillsNuns]

by78

your boringplate reply reflects you personality and like you is very boring. You should be banned from videos for being SO boring.

[by78]

Yeah, it's not like you haven't said the same things at least five times each in response to me. Let's see:

1) You are a spammer and lair and should be banned...

2) Next bunch of lies please...

Are these your boiler plates, hippie? They must be, as they are indicative of a confused state of mind. Tell me now, can you see clearly through all the smoke in your mother's basement? It's time to leave the weed alone, sucker.

[ChinaKillsNuns]

If you think I am confused, you must be confused.

[by78]

"If you think I am confused, you must be confused."

LOL, a good one! Man, that weed must be good. You transformation into a hippie is complete.

[ChinaKillsNuns]

Your choice of words is so limited you must be a brain dead person who should be put out of his misery.

[ChinaKillsNuns]

As in kicked off youtube, obviously.

[by78]

Being a hypocrite, aren't we here? Your speech is so primitive that you have to be a Tibetan, which obviously implies that you descended from the Tibetan Yaks. It's good you are not in Tibet right now, otherwise you'd be a target for extermination.

[ChinaKillsNuns]

Remember this video is about India NOT Tibet.

Next dumb comment spammer.

[by78]

3) 40% of Indians are cannot read or write.

4) 45% of Indian households have no electricity.

5) 75% of Indians have no access to toilets.

6) NO Indian city has 24/7 water supply.

7) More than 1 Million Indian children die each year from diarrhea.

8) Per capita GDP (PPP) of India is only around $2700, which is lower than even Sri Lanka.

Superpower? How about Super-Pauper? You hippies are just empty mouth-piece for the STUPID. Use your brain, it's there for a reason, dumbass.

[ChinaKillsNuns]

by78

If you say I am a hippie, YOU are a LIAR.

Use your brain if you have one.

[by78]

You are a hippie, a dumb dumb hippie.

[ChinaKillsNuns]

mplawner

Please ban spammer by78 from your video.

mplawner

Please ban spammer by78 from your video.

[by78]

Your appeals reminds me of your pleads to the Dalai Lama, "please do me in the ass one more time. Please do me in the ass one more time."

[sammantharule]

no ur wrong allllllllllllllllllll the indians know how to write and red even the poor pep.

and they do have electricity.

and they has good water supply then america do.

believe it i been there

[by78]

No I don't... What you just said makes it plain as day that you have not been to America.

[sammantharule]

you better watch your mouth u bitch

[by78]

Or what? Am I being threatened by an Indian? LOL... Natural born cowards making threats. Last time you Indians did that, I believe the Chinese handed you a comprehensive beating. Now, you want to try Americans?

[sammantharule]

look who's talking

mabay u are from india bitch

so shit up

[by78]

What is "shit up"? Is it some kind of Indian ritual that I am not aware of?

[sammantharule]

wtf

[dimputhegreat]

well thats not true friend by78 indians were never coward thats why we fucked pakistan 4 times liberated and gave bangladesh from pakistan and gave them the identity china war we lost because of inefficient leader we had called nehru other wise we are capable of ruling asia,i agree with your point that most of indians adopt slavery kind of attitude and they dont QUESTION FOR RIGHT CAUSE. i agree with you in this, for development let me remind you here are some statistics READ IT IN NEXT RESPONSE

[smano555]

sure like US was beaten in VIetnam , now getting beaten in Iraq and Afganistan

check out India has won 3 ot of 4 ward and India didnot use Airforce again China..due to political reasons

[by78]

It's no coincidence you admire India, because after all, India shares something in common with Tibet: the inhuman oppression of its own population. Tibet had slavery, while India has the caste system (160 Million Untouchables remain oppressed in India). In this inhumane regard, Tibet and India are two peas in a pod. So I am not surprised scum of the earth like you feel naturally attracted to India.

[ChinaKillsNuns]

mplawner

Please ban spammer by78 from your video. Your video is about India not Tibet.

Get a brain by78 and start behaving like a human rather than a foolish spammer.

[by78]

A brain dead hippie telling me to get a brain. That's rich.

[ChinaKillsTibetans]

You seem to be obsessed by hippies. Are you hippie obsessed ???

Should we call you HO for short ????

[monto786]

nice video hahahahahah thanks for upload if u go next time go to silam pur dt is more crowdy hahaha

[batrarobin]

thanks for the video, i am nostalgic ! :)

[Dhakhaya]

Best place in the world...I don't want it to change..

[madhobbit]

I went to Bombay august 2007, i really loved the place, but the constant begging, constant staring and the smell was over whelming. I plan going back to India soon though, i miss it.

[lavakava]

well madhobbit, i surely don't miss india (visited there in 2006), i was born in india but the govt is so corrupt that my parents moved overseas when i was young and i am leading a good life in USA>

going from usa to india is like going from heaven to hell. i am sure that's the reason why you probably live in some western/mideastern country too, right?

anyway, india NEEDS MAJOR CHANGE!

[GARRYKINGLIVE]

If someone likes India, kindly dont assert your opinion by commenting negatively. If you have no good thing to say dont say anything at all. Although some of your points are valid, at least Indians dont have high teenage pregnancy rates, highest divorce rates, high taxation for wars, racial discrimination, drug abuse and a lot more! At least we Indians know how to live happily through all the bad things there are. And I agree with you India needs change, and it is happening!

[by78]

Indians don't have a high teen pregnancy rate because Indian girls are forced into marriage at a young age, often at 7 to 12, so their pregnancies are not considered teen pregnancies. Indians don't have a high divorce rate because Indian women are treated like commodity, mere possessions for men. The tax rate is low is because most are so poor that they fall below the minimum income bracket for taxation...

[by78]

Low prevalence of drug abuse? Oh please, it is a sin born of relative affluence, not one can be afforded by the abject poor of India. Racial discrimination? Are you kidding me? Indian is relatively homogenous, so the race is a small factor... but wait, let's not forget the nasty caste system. 160 million of untouchables are still being shunned and abused.

[by78]

Indians know how to live happily through the bad things? Don't make me laugh. Rather, Indians live not happily but HAPLESSLY through their misfortunes. The needed change in India is happening? Okie dokie... whatever you say, Rajish. Let me do you one better:

Pawah to Eendiah! Eendiah vill be de Sooopa-Pawah in tdwantie-tdwantie! Eendiah, de laahgest deemahkrasi een de vehrald!

[batrarobin]

but you know what even the traiters like you are warmly welcomed to India because there is no word like "hatred" in their dictionary.... cheers mate and enjoy your stay in your USA !

[securityguard]

LAVAKAVA..TERE MAA DA FUDDA MARREA..NOw go & ask some indian what i said to you...

[rickshawride2dolla]

rickshaw is my life

[gqsmoothie]

I can't believe I'll be here in a few weeks!

[mplawner]

Enjoy! I haven't been in over a year. I really miss the place!

[visbygp]

19-th century

[GARRYKINGLIVE]

and thankgod for that, who wants to live in a country ridden with supposedly 21st century drug dealers, drunken twats and roadside sluts!

[sobietaki]

Look's like London

[rodmeerkat]

looks like london??? you r joking!!!!

in wot way?? i'm there in 10 weeks...a bit different to Melbourne!!!!!!!!!!

[sobietaki]

Go to Southall

[andersersand]

Going to New Delhi for 10 days this month. I will posting the footage after that;

[ILiveInBydgoszcz]

I Live in normal Country

[CoolOnionBoy]

my god, i see a new super power

american will be nevers about this

[vishalc2004]

really dirty place but a fantastic experience...they shouldn't change this area, just clean it up, the buildings, alleyways (inside the markets) and the traffic but preserve the experience. I love going here otherwise.

[lookyeahhohon]

looks very cosmopolitan!!!

[amymint5]

Everytime l go to India, l get the feeling of attachment to my roots, and feel that l am walking back in time to when my parents got married and was living in Delhi...

[maha77]

so great to see this, brings back memories when i spent several months there

[kalil2003]

oh my god i got sick there so dirty so many ppl wow nasty but still i like habibi hindustan zindabad

[kahina22]

wholesale shops here supply lehnga's and indian clothes to show rooms all over india.best selection and prices if you know where to go.i loved visiting here its fascinating.great video.riding in the rickshaw is safer that walking here for sure... and yes the street food is so yummy!

[rodmeerkat]

how much do the rickshaws cost????????

[mplawner]

I paid about 200 rupees for this trip through the market.

[yeshu26uk]

I am in Indian living in the UK for long. 200 Rs is certainly alot of "overpayment". Definitely due to skin colour. People in India will overcharge you, but they would never harm you or kill someone for money, like it happens in London, and Glasgow streets.

[Bumblybee256]

rip off!

[mplawner]

The first time, I walked through. It was worth walking. I didn't feel it wasn't safe, though.

[datdudegeek]

i stop there everytime for tat street food yUmm... i ve to go home thru delhi railway station,its so near to it,,ppl are adviced to bargain pls,they sell at a hogh price thn it actually deserves :)its a grt place to visit .. danke,gracias

[rodmeerkat]

are the markets 'safe????'

[HolyHen]

love that traffic!

[sunlovey]

this is cool, thanks for sharing, i hope to be there in November...

[wildthinair]
