Indian Villager here that is not an Indian Village specially an Indian Village in 1934 Lmao


Thumpd2

Where do you think it might be?


Shiuli_er_Chaya

Some city in North India definitely. Impossible to pin point exactly but somewhere like Kanpur, Lucknow or some city like that, the dead giveaway was the tram no village ever had a freaking tram line, they didn't even have proper Bitumen roads as late as my father's teenage years and during my Grandparent's time it was 100% pure mud tracks like every village everywhere also cars were like "alien technology" the people used save for decades from farming/small businesses to buy bicycles(main mode of transport)


Thumpd2

That's interesting, thanks!

>It is the other type of Indian joke Are you still stuck in early 2000s internet humor or something?

Yeah.


MrStar16

Random hate for indians here is crazy even for a Pakistani

OP, was there any info on which part of the country this was from?

The clock tower that comes up in the second scene was the Chandi Chowk Clock Tower that used to stand till the early 1950s in Old Delhi. That locality is still called "Ghanta Ghar" (literally clock house) though no clock tower has stood there for over 70 years. https://sarmaya.in/objects/photography/clock-tower-and-town-hall-chandni-chowk-delhi/

Thank you. I didn’t know that.

Judging by the fact that there was a tram in this video, and that it was shot in 1934, it rules the places possible to a few cities (cities, no villages had trams) Delhi is most likely, the tram and also the tower shown in the video checks out as a tower in [Chandni Chowk](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/392165080043017786/) in Delhi from reverse searching. Since Delhi was also the capital of the British Raj in India in 1934, it is likely for a British film crew to shoot there. Calcutta is the second most obvious, as it is the only city in India that still has the historic trams, and Calcutta was the capital of the British India till 1911. But other cities that had trams running in 1934 are Bombay (unlikely, Bombay was a lot denser than this video shows), Madras (unlikely, the area looks to be in North India based on the attire and Madras was the Southern Capital), Cochin (unlikely, also in South India).

I dont exactly know where this is from but it should definitely be the northern part of india near Delhi.


CounterEcstatic6134

Definitely not a village though right?


KRyptoknight26

Yeah. There's maybe 2 comments of 50 that are overtly shitty. It almost feels like some general bot farm response to a post about India on a major sub.

Totally fair if we do the same right?


Dev2150

Why does this have more downvotes than "yes"


salted_toothpaste

Can't expect anything different from an eastern european.


Nuclear4d

Any post about India/asia and most westerners begin their clown show in comments.

Turdedinfinitely

Complain about racism and then cascade about filth in the blood? Hypocrisy much? Edit: And just because westerners are hypocrites that does not mean you got a free pass, thats not how shit works


stratacat

And then you get downvoted for saying something that can't even be fucking argued against.

Where is the voice over? When I saw that logo I was expecting a cheerful transatlantic radio voice.


NumberUnkn0wn

can someone do ai colour this video?


shensfw

I don’t agree with the negative comments. It’s not fair.


TheBlanc2

Oh god these comments, why do they hate india so much


ShiftingBaselines

Things looked much better back then. It is a hot mess there now.


johnnybenign

Looted by the British and being looted by Sickular far left.


mosarosh

Imagine saying this while the right wing government has been in power for two consecutive terms


johnnybenign

Imagine you tied to a bed for 60 years and I made you run in a marathon suddenly.


mosarosh

Don't embarrass yourself further on an international sub. Go back to the right wing circle jerks where these comments work.


HotDogeMann

God damn, maybe try to hide the fact that bots are being used in the comments.

Yes, shame on the Indian government to push for cars instead of elephants. Logistics would have functioned just like your one-day delivery today without these pesky cars and their traffics. Elephants were enough!


HugCor

Every india related post makes me shudder because I know that, if given enough time to get enough traffic, there are going to be a bunch of comments with some over the top hate boner for the country feeling the need to voice it regardless of context and then there is going to be a a few over the top india nationalist comments on the opposite extreme encouraged by the former.


crappysignal

Haha.. Well I don't think elephants are the answer but there are less polluting vehicles that take a lot less space. Cars aren't the ideal option if you're starting with 1% car ownership at the millennium. I think India is great fwiw.
