Indians can only travel to 62 countries visa free. Where people from Botswana and Namibia can travel to 80 and 91 countries visa free, respectively. Why is that? Source: https://www.henleyglobal.com/passport-index/ranking
May be once pooping in the open stops, the rank will rise.
lmfao
People poop or piss in every single country. I guess facts don't matter when you wanna stereotype
Probably economic factors and international perception. India doesn’t really have an economy of scales and their biggest resource one could argue is the people which is cheap labor.
"doesn't have an economy of scale" Do you even know what that means? India's biggest export is humans, true! But India literally is one of the best examples of an economy of scale.
numbthumb the concept of “economy of scale” refers to the cost advantage that arises with increased output of a product, where the average costs per unit of the product decrease with the scale of production. India has some economy of scales but it faces challenges such as Indias highly fragmented markets, small industry operations which lack capital because the rupee is weighted very low against other currencies, and infrastructure constraints. It’s changing because of the nationalist movement but these things still apply.
Cause it’s a developing country so there’s a higher risk of visa overstays. As the country and its people get richer, they’ll probably get more visa free travel from places that want their tourism 💵
As long as their govt controls and properly educates their people and make it safer for travelers. There are so many cases of fraud, kidnapping, murder, rape, extortion, and abuse for people who naively travel there hoping to find meaning.
Um ok. Why so triggered? I’m talking about Indian tourists traveling abroad, who presumably tend to be wealthier and more educated. Why would they cause problems visiting other countries?
1.5 billion potentials That’s why. And that’s why alone India will never be given visa free access to most of the world unless it becomes richest country in world. The crazy population numbers scare any country
Reciprocity. No one wants to go there, everyone wants to get out.
It’s PageRank algo bro Nobody wants to link to India, but all Indians want to link out of India
No one wants them plain and simple
Is the ceo of Google Indian? Not all Indians are bad. It is a gamble with mainland Indians though.
When you have a minority population doing too well that obviously has some cultural differences and flaws, people like WcF884 will come out of the woodwork.
What OP meant to say - "How dare black dominated African countries come before India in the passport rankings" ...yeah it's giving....hmmm
mmm, maybe you are projecting? I picked those two countries simply for the fact their GDPs are way lower than that of India, and afflicted by constant civil war, definitely it's not based on economy as others are suggesting, it's something else
Or just using data ...just glaze over Moldova and other countries.
Everyone worries about the most populous nation on the planet. People want to keep a check.
Do you think it’s b/c India is an alternative to China in terms of business relations?
With the amount of insanely high tariffs India have against foreign countries. I'm surprised the number isn't higher
@Bloomberg "insanely high tariffs India have against foreign countries" -- what does that mean in terms of personal travel?
