Is India the most colourful place on Earth?

I was opening this thread on my smartphone and somehow it killed the browser. Just now i switched to my laptop and it's ok.

OP, perhaps you should put all those images inside spoiler tag.

Hahaha, aren't you the same guy who made the Tourism thread?

Anyway, since I've not seen everything, I can't say if India is or isn't "the most colourful place on Earth." You can't make the comparison too as you fall into the same category, so does everybody. Therefore, all I can say, being an Indian, is that it's a drop dead gorgeous country rich in arts and culture and there's no point in undermining any other place, Ashish.

No, India is actually brown and ugly.

Go to Portugal, Brazil or South Africa.

I was in Portugal recently and I wouldn't have called it colorful.

Germany (and other German-speaking Areas also have) has already lost its Colors if you compare it to the Imperial Time:

The closest "colorful" City nearby is possibly Schwäbisch Hall:


Personally, I'm less a Fan of extreme vibrant Colors, but rather of modest Hues. But I can still enjoy looking at Markets like this one:


And the Rest can be made a bit more colorful during special Seasons as well:

I went to India for 3 weeks and traveled around there. A lot of places can be really beautiful and nice, but then you turn your head 90 degrees and see a slum with people covered in dirt living in huts that look like they're made out of ripped up old clothes. You get to see the huge class difference between people without even being able to ignore it. India is definitely from being a colourful place. It was actually an extremely dirty and depressing place for the most part. Never have I been so happy to leave a warm climate to come back to the Great Canadian Winter.

LoneWolf said:
Lol this cherry picking, Holybaptiser has the right idea.

You should actually go to India and see how it is instead of looking at a bunch of pictures on the internet. It's a 3rd world country and it has all the problems that other 3rd world countries have. That being said, yeah it's pretty colorful, but honestly who cares? You can look at your pretty pictures from the safety of your computers screen.

And that is expected of a Place ruined by Colonialism and Stupid Politicians .
We are a poor developing country and that is to be expected .
Or have you forgotten that Developed world has its fair share of problems and poor people .

Look, I'm not going to try to get into a socioeconomic issue here and I definitely don't care for that sort of argument. I don't know why you're trying to tell me something I am completely aware of and witnessed at first hand. India is not the first developing country I have visited either. Trying to imply that it is the most colourful place in the world by posting a few pictures to propagate something that isn't true is the issue here. I only stated why I would classify it as something far from what you implied it to be. India is a shitty place to be in if you're not site seeing. The temples, the mosques, and anything else that is worth seeing there is definitely awesome and beautiful, but once you step out of those places, you are stricken with the most jarring and shocking reality there ever is - the country is a fucking mess and people live in extreme poverty.

You want to be proud about the place you live in? Good for you, man. I'm all for that. Maybe you'll make it a better place. But don't try to tell someone it's the most colourful place when it isn't.

Edit - I can literally pull up pictures of people shitting out in the open on the side of the road. Posting pictures of the dirty side of India is just as easy as posting pictures of the colourful side.

"Is India the most colourful place on Earth based on my completely selective sources of images that provide nothing but propagate the idea that I wish to convey?"

Yes.

"Is India the most colourful place on Earth to someone who isn't completely ignorant?"

No

Thanks for trying, buddy. And I have been to China. Trying to say I didn't understand your thread is both red herring and ad hominem. It's actually hilarious that your second line is trying to tell me the course of the conversation is supposed to be something that my posts have been about - it's like you don't want to hear people say no, but just want them to agree with you. Good luck with your future endeavors.

There is no most colourful country. Individual cities are usually the ones that actually have certain colour schemes

You know I'd rather see a town full of colourful flowers than a town painted with random colourful paints. One is soothing for the eye, the other is merely aggressive for the eyes.

That's my opinion.

If yo uwant paint as well,t hena mix is better. You know, that kind of colourful (Colmar,France) is far better ImO :

SharpClaws said:
please use spoiler tags on your pictures. If you dont know how, then:



Its nt the most colorful, but its there. Those pictures are pretty though.

Lue said:

Mini-moding is against the rules.


Anyway, India is probably the worst country in the world, thinking of it only makes everything smell bad.

SharpClaws said:



I'm not mini-moding...the browser crashed on my phone coz of the huge pictures.

Noboru said:
I concur. I'm also not too fond of too flashy Clothes, but I don't mind having vividly-colored Foodstuff and Flowers.

Btw.: Nice German Fachwerkhäuser you have there

Zefyris said:

Yes, in France we call it maison à colombages btw. you often see that kind of architecture in some French regions(especially Normandy, Bretagne and Alsace AFAIK), just like you see it in Germany x) .

Noboru said:
Well, Elsass-Lothringen has quite the familiar Structure and the actual French Tradition looks differently. But good that they are preserved that well ^^
