A video of a group of Indian tourists in Paris has gone viral and drawn strong criticism online. Many people are criticising the group, saying they showed poor civic sense and behaved in a way that ignored basic manners, all while trying to make loud displays of nationalism.
The video was recorded in the crowded Montmartre area. It shows a few Indian men standing beside a street performer. One of them puts his arm around the performer and starts shouting slogans like “Jai Maharashtra,” “Jai Shiv Sena,” and “Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai.” Soon, the rest of the group joins in, and the chanting gets even louder.

Street performer appears uncomfortable
As the noise rises, the street performer looks uncomfortable and repeatedly signals them to stop. Many viewers pointed out his clear discomfort in the now-viral clip. Despite this, the group continues shouting for several more seconds.
Sharing the video, an X (formerly Twitter ) user named @Delhiite_ wrote, “A video from Paris shows Indian tourists with a street performer.”
The clip has since gone viral and has drawn criticism for being disruptive and disrespectful.
Clip shared online, draws sharp criticism
One user strongly criticised the behaviour, writing, “Disgusting, these fellows should be deported and banned for life from entering the country”.
Another user pointed out that the group ignored the performer’s signals, saying, “Bro was exactly doing the opposite to what that street performer was saying”.
A third user expressed embarrassment over the incident, commenting, “These people are an embarrassment to us wherever they go lol”.
One more comment surfaced where a user suggested stricter measures for tourists, stating, “A fixed refundable fee should be taken from tourists for social discipline especially from Asian countries. Refunded once there is no incident reported to local police till they sit back in return flight to ensure behaviour as per local culture. This will stop these nonsense”.
One more user said such behaviour has become too common, writing, “This has become a common habbit of people in group travelling abroad and chanting slogans in public place .. which is completely unnecessary… why one have to do so ?”
