Hey bosses, its Paridi from Asian Boss.

Historically, India and UK share a long relationship.

Be it from the British colonial era to Rishi Sunak becoming the first UK Prime Minister from Indian origin.

So how do Indians feel about the UK today?

Let's find out.

First off, can you name three things that pop into your head when you hear the word UK or Britain?

So when we hear about UK,

we think about the world class infrastructure and study and the living standards they have the hygiene and cleanliness they have.

We think that it's a colonial power that enslaved our country for more than a century.

Premier League, it's the English League and Rishi Sunak because he recently became the Prime Minister.

And the royal family, I follow them sometimes.

I like Prince William and all that.

It's a very educated country.

The literacy is very good.

Three things that come in my mind is like colonialism, monarchies still prevalent and racism sometimes.

Have you ever travelled to the UK?

Yeah, two three times I have travelled.

What was your experience like?

It's very expensive, some people they discriminate but mostly people are good, mostly educated people are moving there.

So definitely now they have good impression about Indians.

What's your overall impression of UK as a country?

It's a financial strengthened country, it's an economic power I think,

it's a veto power also in United Nations as you can say and India has a very smooth relationship with UK.

Basically the lifestyle it is very very different from India and considerably free.

We as Indians have a lot of restrictions and I I personally would not like that kind of life.

So I do believe that I would want to live in UK considering the lifestyle and the opportunities you'll get

and further studies, that's a very big thing.

Could you please tell me what restrictions are you referring to?

Restrictions?

As in being a girl, you are not supposed to go out late at night.

I think that they are very free to do whatever they want.

Literally in anything, whatever they want.

In India, you don't see that.

UK as a country is like a dream nation.

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.

It is democracy and it is a very good democracy.

You know, media is free, their judiciary is powerful, those sort of things.

So UK is a very good country.

They are living in the old days like they have king-queen mentality.

I think they should come out of that.

Now it's a global world.

So definitely they should change their thinking.

Do you think the fact

that India used to be UK's colonies has any bearing on how Indians perceive the UK these days, especially young people?

I started developing a bit of hatred towards the country.

It's not good, but just because of the old textbooks we read.

Our textbooks have been very biased about the things we have been taught.

I have a very strong opinion on this.

The textbook did not have a good language, they supported the whole colony system.

And I think things will get improved by the good policy.

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.

So as the youth we still have this thing in our mind

that no the people are not nice even though they are not the same people anymore.

I think there would have been a lot of nice things they did for India but those things are not shown.

We only are taught about how they ruled over us.

Me when I was in school, it was treated like we were prisoners.

We didn't want them to be here.

They colonized us.

It was not colonization.

It was literally, they just ruled us for a long, long, long time.

200 years, I think, approximately.

So it was treated, yeah.

It was, I didn't like UK as I was growing up, I guess.

We shouldn't mingle with the past.

Past is past.

So I think India has moved on from that thing, like still considering England or UK as a boss.

So we are at peace now.

We as an Indian, I think we don't hold any grudges against them.

So yeah, it's okay.

We are cool.

What are the influences that you see in India today that has been brought into India because of the British rule?

The good infrastructure, the good architecture, the good design of the roads,

the good urban planning, and also a good education system all brought by British and I'm very happy for it.

India has mad about cricket, right?

There is no football, there is no rugby.

First is cricket.

Second is English language, obviously.

After the Allied powers became victorious in the World War II, English was the predominant language.

And even our constitution that we have taken is largely influenced by America and UK.

So and it gives us a democratic

so we did not go to the path of Russia

or China those type of things and we have a democracy in place.

I think our some laws are still the British laws

and our you can say our system education system and our parliamentary system it's a copy of UK.

We speak English and mostly people understand English.

Because of that advantage, Indians are going all over the world.

For example, in IT field, we have an advantage over Chinese.

Because Chinese is also a cheap laborer, but they can't speak good English.

So we have more advantage.

We have advantage because of British colony.

How is the UK covered by the local media?

Is it positive or negative?

Mostly it's positive.

Why do you think that is?

Because being a colony, maybe we still feel we have the obligation to say those positive words for the country

which colonized us.

Obviously positive.

Yeah, they are like, yeah, see their education system, healthcare system, the so called NHS, the National Health Service.

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

Затем повторите его сразу же, стараясь копировать звуки и паузы — это поможет улучшить произношение английского. Используйте shadowing site, где можно регулировать скорость playback, если диалог кажется слишком быстрым. Повторяйте каждый отрезок 3–5 раз, пока не почувствуете, что ваша речь становится естественной.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
