An Indian YouTuber named Nikhil Kanwal is facing criticism and backlash from netizens for his crass and tasteless behaviour on international trips. His vlogs, especially one about his China trip, have received a lot of backlash and criticism as he claims that he ‘pataoed,’ meaning he hit on a woman during his China trip. When people travel, they represent their country. How a person behaves can impact how the world views the people of the country. Unfortunately, many Indian influencers and YouTubers display rude behaviour while on their international trips, all in the name of content. Recently, two Indian influencers, Jyoti Malhotra and Jaspreet Kaur Dyora, faced backlash for their offensive and racist remarks and rude behaviour towards Chinese locals in their travel videos. Now, Nikhil Kanwal is facing similar criticism for his derogative behaviour while in China. On his YouTube channel’s bio, Nikhil mentions that he is from Panipat, Haryana, and claims to be a former wrestler.

Ruining the Nation's Reputation
देहाती zoomers have ruined the nation's reputation in less than a decade of Internet in their hand. With cheap money in their hands they think they are the new aristocrats. Yes of course nOt aLL... but most of them I now look at with violent disgust.

It is important to be polite, follow rules, and learn the etiquette of a country when travelling abroad. Unfortunately, many people do not understand the extent of damage their rude behaviour can bring to a country. Such behaviour should definitely be punished and stopped!
