Some foreigners would argue otherwise. When asked which country would provide superior hospitality—Pakistan or India—one Canadian man picked pakistan without giving it a second thought. On both sides of the border and beyond, his brief chat with an instagram user is currently going viral.
India Vs Pakistan
Instagram user @officialnamour, known for his vox pop videos, recently stopped Canadian traveller Nolan Saumure to ask him about his opinion on desi hospitality.
"India or pakistan, which country has better hospitality?" They asked Saumure.
"Pakistan, obviously," said the Canadian.
When asked why he chose pakistan, Saumure responded that indians treat Westerners more like profitable clients with limitless resources than like visitors to their nation. In contrast, Pakistanis are hospitable and invite visitors to enjoy their cuisine and even their homes.
"You go to india and people just look at you as a walking ATM," stated Saumure. "People say, 'Come here, sit,' when you visit Pakistan. Enjoy this complimentary meal. Come overnight to my house, please."
Social media Reacts
Many people agree with Saumure's perspective, as evidenced by the video's hundreds of comments and over 4.4 million views.
"As an African residing in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, I concur with him that Pakistanis are friendlier than Indians. An instagram user said, "Indians view you as complete strangers, while pakistan views you as a friend."
A further person wrote, succinctly, "I agree (I'm Indian)."
"There is a rationale behind it. Since india receives a lot of tourists, we are accustomed to it and have really developed the economy to accommodate them. "Seeing a foreigner is a big event for pakistan, which only receives a few hundred tourists annually," an instagram user explained.
The Canadian's viewpoint was criticized by others. "Preferring not to be harassed is not princess treatment," Saumure responded to a user who queried, "Why do white people expect princess treatment from indians after stealing $45 trillion from Indians?"
Canadian travel vlogger Nolan Saumure has traveled to numerous nations, including the United States, Vietnam, Mexico, Indonesia, india, pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
