1
Hey bosses, its Paridi from Asian Boss.
2
Historically, India and UK share a long relationship.
3
Be it from the British colonial era to Rishi Sunak becoming the first UK Prime Minister from Indian origin.
4
So how do Indians feel about the UK today?
5
Let's find out.
6
First off, can you name three things that pop into your head when you hear the word UK or Britain?
7
So when we hear about UK,
8
we think about the world class infrastructure and study and the living standards they have the hygiene and cleanliness they have.
9
We think that it's a colonial power that enslaved our country for more than a century.
10
Premier League, it's the English League and Rishi Sunak because he recently became the Prime Minister.
11
And the royal family, I follow them sometimes.
12
I like Prince William and all that.
13
It's a very educated country.
14
The literacy is very good.
15
Three things that come in my mind is like colonialism, monarchies still prevalent and racism sometimes.
16
Have you ever travelled to the UK?
17
Yeah, two three times I have travelled.
18
What was your experience like?
19
It's very expensive, some people they discriminate but mostly people are good, mostly educated people are moving there.
20
So definitely now they have good impression about Indians.
21
What's your overall impression of UK as a country?
22
It's a financial strengthened country, it's an economic power I think,
23
it's a veto power also in United Nations as you can say and India has a very smooth relationship with UK.
24
Basically the lifestyle it is very very different from India and considerably free.
25
We as Indians have a lot of restrictions and I I personally would not like that kind of life.
26
So I do believe that I would want to live in UK considering the lifestyle and the opportunities you'll get
27
and further studies, that's a very big thing.
28
Could you please tell me what restrictions are you referring to?
29
Restrictions?
30
As in being a girl, you are not supposed to go out late at night.
31
I think that they are very free to do whatever they want.
32
Literally in anything, whatever they want.
33
In India, you don't see that.
34
UK as a country is like a dream nation.
35
You know, the first thing in today's world, whenever we want to know about any country, we want to make an assessment is what is the type of government there.
36
It is democracy and it is a very good democracy.
37
You know, media is free, their judiciary is powerful, those sort of things.
38
So UK is a very good country.
39
They are living in the old days like they have king-queen mentality.
40
I think they should come out of that.
41
Now it's a global world.
42
So definitely they should change their thinking.
43
Do you think the fact
44
that India used to be UK's colonies has any bearing on how Indians perceive the UK these days, especially young people?
45
I started developing a bit of hatred towards the country.
46
It's not good, but just because of the old textbooks we read.
47
Our textbooks have been very biased about the things we have been taught.
48
I have a very strong opinion on this.
49
The textbook did not have a good language, they supported the whole colony system.
50
And I think things will get improved by the good policy.
51
The very first thing we study in history is that UK colonized India, which leaves an impression that okay they are bad people, they have ruled over us which is definitely not a nice thing to do.
52
So as the youth we still have this thing in our mind
53
that no the people are not nice even though they are not the same people anymore.
54
I think there would have been a lot of nice things they did for India but those things are not shown.
55
We only are taught about how they ruled over us.
56
Me when I was in school, it was treated like we were prisoners.
57
We didn't want them to be here.
58
They colonized us.
59
It was not colonization.
60
It was literally, they just ruled us for a long, long, long time.
61
200 years, I think, approximately.
62
So it was treated, yeah.
63
It was, I didn't like UK as I was growing up, I guess.
64
We shouldn't mingle with the past.
65
Past is past.
66
So I think India has moved on from that thing, like still considering England or UK as a boss.
67
So we are at peace now.
68
We as an Indian, I think we don't hold any grudges against them.
69
So yeah, it's okay.
70
We are cool.
71
What are the influences that you see in India today that has been brought into India because of the British rule?
72
The good infrastructure, the good architecture, the good design of the roads,
73
the good urban planning, and also a good education system all brought by British and I'm very happy for it.
74
India has mad about cricket, right?
75
There is no football, there is no rugby.
76
First is cricket.
77
Second is English language, obviously.
78
After the Allied powers became victorious in the World War II, English was the predominant language.
79
And even our constitution that we have taken is largely influenced by America and UK.
80
So and it gives us a democratic
81
so we did not go to the path of Russia
82
or China those type of things and we have a democracy in place.
83
I think our some laws are still the British laws
84
and our you can say our system education system and our parliamentary system it's a copy of UK.
85
We speak English and mostly people understand English.
86
Because of that advantage, Indians are going all over the world.
87
For example, in IT field, we have an advantage over Chinese.
88
Because Chinese is also a cheap laborer, but they can't speak good English.
89
So we have more advantage.
90
We have advantage because of British colony.
91
How is the UK covered by the local media?
92
Is it positive or negative?
93
Mostly it's positive.
94
Why do you think that is?
95
Because being a colony, maybe we still feel we have the obligation to say those positive words for the country
96
which colonized us.
97
Obviously positive.
98
Yeah, they are like, yeah, see their education system, healthcare system, the so called NHS, the National Health Service.
99
They are so organized.
100
Why is there most positive coverage by the Indian media about the UK?
101
India is still growing.
102
It needs some support from all over the world.
103
It is still growing.
104
To maintain its diplomacy, I guess.
105
Exactly, maintain its diplomacy.
106
And there are many countries which are beheading India, be it China or any other countries.
107
But India is a very friendly country with every country because it knows they want to grow.
108
Right now, we are developing countries.
109
We are not yet developed.
110
So we can just go ahead like a boss, like US and all.
111
We can't.
112
Right
113
we have to be friendly like what's the latest news
114
that you have heard about the UK in Indian media it's
115
like he UK is suffering from a very bad economic condition
116
and Roshu Shunak is trying to strengthen it our media was
117
saying he's Indian it will be good for India you know he's Hindu
118
but it's not that
119
if he is the Indian he's going to do a lot
120
of things about India it's not he is more responsible for
121
his own people how do you feel about the new UK
122
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Rishi Sunak is a very good Prime Minister as I have heard
123
that is a very proud moment that an Indian become a Prime Minister of UK
124
and we are all with him he's very young he is very dynamic I think
125
so the youth of India as mostly seeing on the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunna as an ideal, I want to say.
126
Prime Minister Reynes Modi has also been there and met him.
127
So, it helped our country, India, to have a great relation with Britain and other countries.
128
Because with this relation, all other countries are seeing India as becoming an emerging superpower.
129
So, when he became the Prime Minister, how big of a news was it in Indian media?
130
It was big.
131
It was very, very, very big.
132
He has British citizenship.
133
We didn't consider that.
134
He's like, okay, he's Indian.
135
That's it.
136
Indian Prime Minister.
137
Yeah, we were very happy.
138
And also, nowadays, Indian people just seem to occupy these high-level positions in companies like Google and Microsoft.
139
So why do you think so many Indians do so well in climbing the highest positions overseas?
140
Because we are smart.
141
I mean, we are smart.
142
That's it.
143
The Google CEO is from the IIT in India he completed his study in India
144
so that India has a very nice opportunity in education purposes yeah
145
because of our education and Indians are hard-working
146
and more analytical as an Indian
147
if I see the CEO of some big companies like he's an Indian
148
and definitely it means that I can reach up to that point.
149
So it's not about the color, it's not about the race, it's about the talent.
150
So definitely it's inspirational.
151
We have been doing great from the old age, like R.A.
152
Bhatta, he discovered the zero and all those sort of things.
153
So it is naturally in our blood, you know, wherever we go, we will shine and we will raise the name of our country
154
but I think we should in spite of taking it as
155
a positive thing I would rather take it as a little negative thing
156
because a person has become the head of the Google why can you not serve it our own country right
157
why are we happy that a person who is
158
so intelligent is going to leave our country
159
and going to serve some other country i think we need to change our opinion
160
that these people need to serve our country as well
161
so it is reported
162
that nearly a quarter of all international students are in uk are from india
163
so if you had a chance to go and live
164
and study in uk would you go there yeah sure i
165
want to be go there to study my continue my further studies yeah i would definitely go and I'm planning to go.
166
So I'm open for that.
167
Why is that?
168
Aren't there a lot of opportunities in India as well given how big the domestic market is?
169
The field which I am pursuing has more demand in UK than in India
170
because in India there is not much pay for that course which I am pursuing.
171
A lot of people want to go there.
172
For me, in my friend circle, not a lot.
173
It's only one or two.
174
But yeah, I have heard that a lot of people are trying
175
and on websites you see a A lot of people want to go there.
176
Why do you think that is?
177
Good paying jobs, good standard of living.
178
It's developed.
179
I think people think that when they will go there,
180
they'll get a better standard of life and they'll have a good life there.
181
Yeah, it's a popular destination.
182
Because that's home to many Indians too.
183
They have been residing for many years.
184
That's not an alien place for us.
185
The population density in India is growing in a huge amount and we are gonna pass China in case of population.
186
Yeah population is the reason like we why we like want to shift to a better place
187
Because there's too much of unhealthy competition here.
188
So I don't yeah, you can call it a rat race too
189
If we do that hard work in any other country the same way, so we'll get more pay But of course it is our home country
190
So we should serve this only
191
and how easy it is for the average Indian student to go and study overseas at the first place.
192
That's very tough like for that you need to get a lot of like
193
if it's not for on scholarship that's that's a huge sum of money
194
that we have to pay as tuition fees so I think that's not like common between average Indians.
195
It is very hard they can not go on their own perhaps
196
but the beauty of the UK is and the US countries like these are
197
that they recognize the intelligence of a person and provide them some with scholarship schemes So the people can go on scholarship, people who are really intelligent,
198
who have a really bright future.
199
So those people have a good chance.
200
Apart from that, it is still a difficult task.
201
So Indian and UK obviously had a complicated past.
202
How do you wish the India-UK relationship progress going forward?
203
Modiji tried to overcome the barrier between the UK and all our countries to establish a great relationship between us.
204
When we talk about the economic transactions, it's like there is a win-win situation for both the countries.
205
India is the very big economic power and UK is indeed too.
206
So we both can mutually get tied up.
207
In the free trade agreement, people from India will get advantage that visa facility will be easy,
208
more migration will happen and they can sell their product freely without paying duty in India.
209
With the current Prime Minister of India, it's going well
210
and they have a very good foreign policy
211
and they have a balanced foreign policy
212
if you see the international crisis these days like ukraine war
213
and everything so they have balanced themselves so with the uk also it's going further in a positive direction

Por que praticar fala com esse vídeo?
O vídeo "What Do Indians Think About The UK? | Street Interview" é uma excelente ferramenta para a prática de conversação em inglês porque oferece um contexto real e diversificado. As entrevistas de rua mostram expressões coloquiais, opiniões pessoais e discussões sobre temas como história, cultura e vida cotidiana, o que reflete como o inglês é falado no dia a dia. Ao usar a técnica de shadow speech (imitar a fala imediatamente após o falante), você treina a pronúncia, a entonação e a fluência, absorvendo padrões naturais de comunicação. Além disso, os diferentes acentos dos entrevistados ajudam a se adaptar a variações do inglês global, essencial para quem quer se comunicar efetivamente.
Gramática e expressões no contexto
No diálogo, vários structures chave aparecem, úteis para a prática de conversação em inglês:
- "Be it from... to...": Uma estrutura formal usada para listar intervalos, como "Be it from the British colonial era to Rishi Sunak...". Ela ajuda a conectar ideias de forma elegante.
- "What was your experience like?": Uma pergunta comum para solicitar descrições, substituindo "How was your experience?" de forma mais natural.
- "Do you think the fact that... has any bearing on...": Uma expressão complexa para discutir relações causais, essencial para debates. Por exemplo, "Do you think the fact that India used to be a colony has any bearing on...".
- "I personally would not like that kind of life": O uso de "personally" para enfatizar opiniões, uma estratégia para tornar a fala mais autêntica.
Armadilhas comuns de pronúncia
O vídeo apresenta palavras e acentos que podem ser desafiadores. Por exemplo:
- "Colonialism": A pronúncia correta é /kəˈləʊniəlɪzəm/, mas muitos aprendizes confundem o "o" curto com um "ó" longo. Use o shadow speak para imitar a entonação suave do "o".
- "Monarchies": A sílaba tônica está no segundo "a" (/ˈmɒnəkiːz/), evitando a tendência de enfatizar o "m" inicial.
- Acentos indianos: Os entrevistados usam uma taxa de fala mais rápida e uma pronúncia de "t" e "d" mais suave. Ao praticar o shadow speech, preste atenção a como eles reduzem vogais em palavras como "about" (/əˈbaʊt/) para /əˈbaʊt/ com menos ênfase na "u".
Essas dicas ajudam a superar barreiras e a falar com mais confiança, tornando o aprender inglês com vídeos uma estratégia eficaz.
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — uma ação que começou antes e continua | have been doing · have been residing |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | Have you ever travelled · have travelled · have been |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | have been taught · are not shown · are taught |
| Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa | countries which are · person who is · people who are |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
