Ravi Handa, the host of Desi FIRE Podcast, complained about the north Indian tours “ruining” his experience in Vietnam.(Representational) “I went to Vietnam for the new year break, and Goa was a choice. But not for the reasons any of you people on twitter go bonkers about. Goa has too many North Indian tours and they ruin the experience,” he said, adding that even in Vietnam the only “bad behaviour” was from North India tours. “A group literally started shouting Bharat Mata ki Jai in a train coach because they saw there were many Indians around. Another couple cut the line with the woman saying – ‘Aage chalo. Yahan koi nahi rokega.'” he claimed. Handa said that he saw many people jumping queues and all of them were Indians. “I even stopped one at the cable car line and he replied – “Hum logon ke pass special pass hai.” Did not want to argue and gave up,” he said.

Handa clarified that he too was a north Indian and in his experience, he witnessed worse behaviour from north Indians than others. “Uber rac comment. How did you know that misbehaving tours were North India?” asked another user, to which Handa replied that the tours told him they were from NCR. Others agreed with Handa and said, “North Indians now are even worse! Me, being a North Indian myself always felt ashamed but now it’s a whole new level of shame!” “There was a group of North Indians on a train in Europe, making too much noise in the name of “having a good time.” All the other Europeans were silent, and only these people were shouting,” wrote a third user.
