I am Gurgaon. The new Urban India (Marije Meerman, VPRO 2009

[pdadhwal]

God help her kids

[pdadhwal]

What a bitch

[ginost7]

This is fucking surreal, middle class coconuts looking for beggars!! Well these beggars will eventually rise up , burn and rape these gated places. lets all hope so for the sake of indian humanity

[chutilerki]

How funny that they give subtitles. Everyone here is perfectly understandable. When the young man makes a phone call asking for juice (room service?) he says 'Ek Mango Juice, Ek grape'... Ek means ONE. He didnt say EIGHT mango juice as the subtitles put.

[WellIAMScottish]

The chubby mother is unbearable! She's got the combined arrogance of upper Indian caste and upper American class. Gurgaon may be cleaner and more organized but it lacks the heart and soul of India.

[chutilerki]

@WellIAMScottish youre right, it doesnt have that feel of India. also did you notice when the guy made the call for the grape juice, the subtitles said 'eight mango juice, 8 grape..' actually he said 'EK mango juice', EK meaning ONE. they didnt do a good job with the subs.

[maryandindea]

I live in UK now but i remember al them places and while waching this it made me cry and laugh at the same time! Cry because i realzied how much i miss this place but laugh because i reazied what a clean enviroment i live in now!

[llkdll]

haha eight mango juice, eight grape juice.. it's not eight, it's EK, meaning ONE hahaha

ps haters piss off ok thanx love you

[gauravdesai007]

fucker lady being oversmart rahi gi to indian hi na trying to be west lool

[MrJefe29]

[Me6GunLover]

no u r going to swizerland fuck sake this the mentality where u fuck ur own nation....

fucking bitch..

[rh001YT]

I love the gentleman who is upset at the fraud - yes, he should sue. It is not your lot. Contact law is how the West was built - threat of lawsuit keeps people honest. I love the fact that India is becoming the second America - similar struggles, similar successes. What an amazing place. Pedal to the metal, my Indian brothers and sisters!

[rh001YT]

thanks for posting this video - nice interiors. Maybe you could pay the domstic help a little more.

[rh001YT]

most indians are very cool. Many Indians speak better English than Americans or Brits. Indian women are still women - so refreshing, so graceful.

[SuperKnightranger]

i'm living in delhi we thinking to move on from delhi to gurgaon but when i saw that gurgaon i never wanna go there bcoz of lack of infrastucture

[sethrajat1983]

I'm a nri n was thinking about investing in gurgaon but after this I gotta think again...

[lablask]

Noida and G Noida are far better than Gurgaon!!why showing Gurgaon then?

[udayn82]

This video shows the greed and nepotism of indian elite people and their need to fulfil greed. Living in a gated society would not solve the problem of safety . you should feel safe in the country. Yes Gudgaon has improved but it is more commercial and hollow. Citys like singapore and newyork are great cities becasue if has grown as a wholistic city keeping traditions intact.. This is nothing but showoff

[thecyberseer]

For some reason I really cannot feel much compassion for these rich people who got ripped off. They emit elitism and greed with their whole attitude.

[super1world]

People need to come out of show business and have respect for people and their

thoughts...............Sorry Ms. Bineeta, I didn't mean to offend you, but there is

definitely something that need to be done to call ourselves as educated.

[super1world]

carrying this attitude.... We are still a developing nation and

have come a long way, but it seems after looking all this...that we still have miles and

miles to cover still.

Our other Senior Consultant, calls AC and normal life. Yeah that is what we all have

got used to and that's why after a couple of years, people have their doctors numbers

in their cell phones.

[tutorialconr]

@super1world Best comment ever. We have come a far way, but we still are 3rd world, we must come back to our senses. We cannot compare ourselves, to China, whose economic reforms happened almost 15-20 before our's.

[super1world]

guys I would agree with you all. This is all false. What makes me feel unhappy and uncomfortable is that we compete with the WESTERNS while we still have to rely on the maids to do our dishes. So dependent we are...........isn't it.

What the heck.....This lady is doing YOGA.....Someone pls tell her that the best YOGA is to get up from the chair and get her toast.I love my country and my people, but what I hate about people like Bineeta that they still beleive in show-off and

[fashionboyin123]

this cunt dont know that a begger in gurgaon earn a lot then she thinks.so u fat ass stop telling ur poor children .

[medmad1]

Snootiness is a trait common to most elite Indians, but what was sad about this is the conflicting picture.. while the boss drives around in her suv with her kids, the domestic help is literally imprisoned within the compound. The rich always trod on the poor.. be it Delhi or Gurgaon. 

[tilakchowdary]

I couldn't control Myself. Beggars will find her one day.

[tilakchowdary]

Living Normal life Switching on AC?

[tilakchowdary]

This is not India.This is Gated India.Mera FKING toast leke ana

[alexdgonc]

How sad, got totally hosed paying 100% upfront for an unbuilt project. Another poor sap that thought that real-estate would only rise... rise... and rise!

[katardh]

Bineeta Singh......... You really need help. Here are things that come to my mind when I see you:

-New money

-Prententious

-I feel sorry for your kids

-Give the 40 rupees to your maid who slogs for you day in and day out. (although I know the 'money to beggars' thing was only for the camera)

-Your maid is a thousand times more cultured than you are. Learn something from her.

-I hear you talking about your maid again and how she is refined because of exposure to you and I have to go puke

[dirtyharree]

The fat cow epitomizes the shittiest segment of Indian population. She thinks the maid is her property that she has to groom and display to her equally shit-bag friends. Insolent hag.

[fjt108]

This is crisis in Modern India. there is no cast of dog poo pickers, I had to dismiss 3 servants already this year. Finally I now have dalit help who is willing to pick the poo of my dogs with only minimum gagging and vomit throwing.

Re: Beggars. A good pitch for begging can cost lakhs of Rupees. Outside Starbucks, KFC or HSBC. So most successful beggars want R100 not 10. India is too much rapidly changing. Soon you will need masters degree for begging, no kidding.

[Jadiustark]

So Indians can be petty, status hungry twats just as well as any American housewife. India, you're on your way!

[iWaNtMy0rAnGeS]

to some of you HATERS OUT THERE- i know the lady in the pink, not the other one, but her and my family has provided funds for her project at Sanshil. The whole organization is very effective and helpful and you would be surprised to know that some of those children HAVE made it to Delhi Public School from all their hard work.

[dirtyharree]

@iWaNtMy0rAnGeS I don't think anybody is directing their anger towards the lady in pink, she appears to be very respectable and genuine. She's doing a real nice deed too...

[miffyjc]

My first visit in India was Gurgaon. The developers ran with money all right. Well, what can I say. I was stuck in the elevator during the blackout and it was very shaky. I was scared as hell.. My friend lived in the 24th floor*One of these DLF buildings) and it happened like 3 times in a week!

[karteekpopuri]

What a load of pretentious crap.

[pramod030489]

aah whteva...

but haryana govt and the builders didnt hv a common perception while developing it tht who'll look aftr the water facilities and power etc......

and its a bloddy damnnnnn mistake they did....

haryana govt suckzzz....

[wellhard11]

its a improvement in the right way, india need more cities like this

[astunner]

No honking in Gurgaon, great Idea It may  catch on...,

[lokhtar]

Haha did she just use the word frivolous in a positive way? What an idiot.

[cent0grassi]

@lokhtar no she didn't you idiot



[rajat955]

i tell these lokhtar,therawaan that dont comment

unless you had seen this city

i live in south delhi which is super posh ,gurgaon is just 20 mins drive from my home this city has the largest concentration of infrastucture 45 shopping malls r in this city even more than the capital of india delhi "25 malls" .best golf course of india ,wide roads but less population .gurgaon is just 5 mins drive from international airport delhi,this city is divided into to parts old gugaon ,NEW GURGAON

[lokhtar]

@rajat955 I don't care how posh it is. I don't care how the rich live. I care how the poor are treated.

[BlankDVD]

that Henry dude from "Spa group" is gay, his wife is in for a surprise.. lol i'm so happy all those investors took their money and ran off. that was hilarious. They have millions of dollars to insulate themselves from rest of india because they cannot face reality. These elites will make golf courses but affordable public housing? their answer: "Servant Quarters".

[rajuandpar]

@ gargantuanrave : Well said

[Rishnit]

I lived in gurgaon and i love it so so much.. the malls, the food, the clubs, the space and the people..everything is beautiful in that city

[gargantuanrave]

Bineeta Singh.... What a snobbish fat cunt! She has no clue how fake she appears.

 "We need to find four beggars today" and "Ten rupees is a lot of money for the poor people"!? She's just showing off to the camera. Way to bring up the kids. I live in Gurgaon and there are many like her here who constantly compare themselves with their neighbours trying to outdo them in every which way. She is just a loser masquerading as an elite!

[karunank1]

@gargantuanrave You said it. Sadly that is the state of India's so-called elite...

[jon0441]

@gargantuanrave

rofl lol lol very very funny

10 Rs not even one dhobi will take forget a beggar or traffic cop . Mrs Bineeta Singh wake up 50 Rs also is nothing . dont make mistake of giving Rs 10 to beggar they will throw note on u lol

[lildude19360]

@gargantuanrave You are so right! Pretentious ugly fat cow.

[lokhtar]

Did anyone notice how at 16:10, she says "Don't forget or I'll beat you." and they translated it as "Don't forget and I'll let you have it."....

[lolzvery2lolz]

@lokhtar Man, also notice that Ek (i.e one) was translated as eight!! lolz

[lokhtar]

Love how easily such indentured servitude is accepted. She is not allowed to leave? Her quarters are inspected by the owner of the house? What the hell? This is so disturbing and the fact that no one thinks so is the worst part.

[lokhtar]

I hate this arrogant mentality that these upward mobile people have. You have 1.2 billion people, and they all can't live here - the solution is a permanant underclass whose purpose is to serve the elites. It's not sustainable in the long term - India has 50% drop out rate before high school. If India wants to show the world what it's doing - do it there. Not with playgrounds of the elites.

[smano555]

@lokhta Indian is not just poor and poverty

elite are also Indians and deserve to show

[lokhtar]

@smano555 It's not money I am against, it's this gaudy elitist way of living. It's disgusting. I'd rather live with real people on the street than with these shells of human beings going out looking for beggars.

[rajat955]

@lokhtar i think you r pakisthani

you come to india first, a house in dehi is expensive thats y people r goin to gurgaon,

[lokhtar]

@rajat955 I am against this treatment of other people, not against being rich.

[rajat955]

@lokhtar

MAN THIS CITY GURGAON IS IN THE RICHEST STATE OF INDIA HARYANA.THIS CITY WAS A GAON"VILLAGE" EARLIER BEFORE 1995. THIS CITY IS DEVELPOED WITHIN 10 YR'S FROM NOW SO RICH PEOPLE BUT PRESENTLY AS THIS IS 2010 AGAIN GROWTH IS COMING FAST 2009 WAS RECCESSION YEAR

[MrTruthandlies]

the increasing gap between the rich and the poor!! What India needs is balanced and planned development.

[sipp91]

i hate indain like her...f*&king driving as if she's the queen of Gurgaon......AND a f*^king 10 rupees donation 2 d begger when u have like a freakn 80lakhs worth of house !! its gonna b a life changing moment for the begger wen u give the rs10 lolz

[sipp91]

"can we get some juice...we're playing PSP with a 21 inch hi-tech TV"

[KKIRANCHAND]

True...very true...Gurgaon's got all this splendor inside the office spaces. Outside it's a big failure - the typical indian city story right now. Missing transportation, lack of electricity, heavy traffic, pollution ....list can just keep going on

[rajat955]

@KKIRANCHAND FORGEET

[shailender2]

this is nice vedios and this is my city.

[sameertandon22]

Amazing Video....Gurgaon could not be described better then this....Great Job!! Keep up the Good work!!

[larsono]

1 hour fun xD!

[Jeffro288]

Whatever you guys are haters i think its Great that india has this city

[rajuandpar]

Shocked, appalled and disheartening to see people like her, who live in India and make fun of India...teaching her kids... oh lets find a beggar, is it some game..what goes around comes around...god save them...

[babanachiket]

Poor Direction, Poor content , good Concept. it looked more of an advertisement of Nirvana instead showing the reality of the city. few parts were appreciable but overall its poor directed documentary.

[mandar35]

I am totally totally devastated after I watcched this video...I think, India lost it's soul..it is a shame to see how our elite class/intellact society is day time robbed by the builder-politician nexus...shame...!!!!

My best wishesh from my heart for those all who are victims of this notorious racket... more and more people should come on street and fight against these forces...god save the country.

[lasphifion]

1:50

[divineboy123]

Thanks a lot "I am Gurgaon"...India can become a developed country within next five years if we can call a "Corruption Ceasefire" for a couple of years!

[TheSebulba1978]

Sigh - no matter what developing world does to improve its lot - in the eyes of the Westener and the Fidayeen - its never enough!!

[tutorialconr]

@TheSebulba1978 Even to Indians it's never enough. I've lived in Gurgaon, and we're doing pretty good. But, it can definitely be better. :)

[jcavale]

Ugh

[patentneer]

Hehe ... hi-brow ... Indians ...

... organising ... being pro-active ... self-help groups ... civic action ... haha ... starting to look like US ... good baby steps ...

But hell ... get off 'yer high horses, pardners ... and to the 'low-brow's' ... jaago ...

1 thing, line up the 'builder mafia' ... and shoot 1 or 2 dead whynot ... or pay-off the naxals or wot have you ... WHYNOT?

Sounds like 'cowboy' Capitalism anyway ... shoot-'em-up ... winner-takes-all ... whynot ..

[Me6GunLover]

[independence8]

[patentneer]

...

"Bridge The Gap" ...

The magnitutde of the 'gap' is .... uffff ...

oooo ... OMG !

My real life eg., go to a 'Mall' in Delhi, a st. kid latches on to me and my friend ... under the guise of 'domenstic help' ... the guy did sneak it ... got caught by 'security' ... grabbed by the collar ... and was tossed out ...

Sadly, I could relate ... as a mid-upper class kid, going by the Taj Palace in Delhi ... was ... over-awed ... wished ... how is it ... may be ... inside?
