YouTuber Benjamin Rich Shares His Take On India In Latest Video
YouTuber Benjamin Rich is facing a lot of backlash for his latest video “I Visited India So You Don’t Have To”. In the video, Benjamin explains how he visited India six years ago and can’t wait to revisit some of the places he explored like the Paharganj area of Delhi.
In the video’s caption, he called India “the most frustrating place to travel in the world.” He then went on to issue a “warning” for other international tourists and said, “Do not attempt to do this trip yourself unless you are a professional traveller.”
In the video, he showed potholes on the road, waterlogging in the streets, constant honking in the background, roadside fortune tellers, and poor train conditions during his Delhi to Kolkata journey. During his train journey, he shared glimpses of dirty train compartments and loud noises made by other travellers in the general coach.

Seeing the online outrage, Benjamin shared his take on the entire issue on the post as well. He feels that while some things in India need improvement, the people here have always been “fun and friendly.”
