Viral video: Japanese lady dons saree, serves Indian food in Japan; social media reacts, Glimpse of home in that plate
A video of a Japanese couple who run an Indian restaurant in Fukuoka, Japan, has gone viral on social media, leaving viewers emotional and full of pride. The restaurant, called 'Indian Spice Factory', is located in Kasuga and is run by Nakayama-san and Sachiko-san. The duo, who share a deep love for India, have recreated an authentic Indian experience thousands of miles from the subcontinent. What has caught the attention of many is that Sachiko wears a saree while serving food, and the interiors of the restaurant are decorated with Indian artefacts and musical instruments, creating a distinctly desi atmosphere. Travel influencer Sonam, who shared the video, wrote: 'The love they had for India and Indian culture was unmatched. The whole experience was so touching, and my heart was filled with love. It was truly an honour to meet Sachiko-san and Nakayama-san!' The restaurant serves a wide range of Indian dishes, from phirni, a traditional dessert, to Bengali and South Indian meals. Food is presented in clay utensils, and meals are plated on banana leaves in keeping with Indian custom. A jar of murukku, a popular South Indian snack, added to the authenticity that impressed Sonam. Explaining why Bengali dishes were on the menu, Nakayama-san revealed: 'I lived in Kolkata managing a Japanese restaurant. I've also worked in Delhi and Chennai.' The video highlights the couple's dedication to preserving Indian traditions abroad and their passion for promoting Indian food culture. The video has triggered an emotional response across social media. Many users praised the couple for their respect towards Indian culture and their attention to detail. One user wrote: 'When we as Indians are thriving with Japanese cuisine restaurants, it's not surprising, but beautiful, to see a Japanese couple thriving with authentic Indian cuisine.' Another commented: 'Thank you for this… so overwhelming. Love from Bengal!' A third added, 'This is so heartwarming to see! How well international folks have recognised Bengali food and its culture. I hope fellow Indians also learn to appreciate our own heritage like this.'

American influencer faces backlash over controversial post on India: "1.5 billion people, zero achievements"
Sometimes social media goes too far, and this week was one of those times. American influencer and writer Charles Haywood stirred up a storm on X (formerly Twitter) with a comment that had people across India and honestly, across the world shaking their heads. His take? That in the modern era, not a single Indian has achieved 'anything of truly major note.' Yes, you read that right. He claimed that out of 1.5 billion people, India has supposedly produced 'zero achievements.' 'Has a single (subcontinent) Indian ever accomplished anything of truly major note in the modern period, in any field? I can't think of one. Nor can Grok. Seems odd, given there are 1.5 billion of them, and we're told we need to accept endless waves of them for their "talent." The internet didn't take that lying down. Indians and even non-Indians jumped in, calling out the tweet as not only ignorant but also laughably wrong. After all, we're talking about a country and a diaspora that has given the world Nobel Prize winners, global CEOs, world-class doctors, cutting-edge scientists, and some of the most influential thinkers and leaders alive today. Why people are outrage First, let's be clear: you can criticize countries, politics, or policies but dismissing the contributions of an entire population is another level. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo India, as a modern nation, may still be dealing with issues like poverty, corruption, or inequality, but to say 'zero achievements' ignores reality. Think about it, Sundar Pichai (CEO of Google), Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft), Indra Nooyi (former CEO of PepsiCo), and Parag Agrawal (former Twitter CEO) aren't exactly nobodies. They're leading some of the world's most influential companies, shaping how billions of people live, work, and communicate. That's not just 'something,' that's world-changing. Then there's science and medicine. Indian-American scientists and doctors have played key roles in medical research, space exploration, and even the COVID-19 vaccine. Back home, ISRO (India's space agency) has pulled off missions at a fraction of the cost NASA spends most recently, landing Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon's south pole, a historic first. Sports? India gave the world cricket legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, who are global icons. Literature? Arundhati Roy, Salman Rushdie, and Jhumpa Lahiri are household names in the literary world. And don't forget Nobel laureates like Amartya Sen (Economics) and Kailash Satyarthi (Peace). So yeah, the claim that Indians have done 'nothing' doesn't just miss the mark—it's flat-out wrong. The troll backlash As soon as Haywood's tweet went live, the trolling began. Some users clapped back with lists of Indian achievements. Others mocked the comment with memes showing Indian-origin CEOs running the very tech platforms he uses to post such statements. Would you not count Srinivasan Ramanujan? Or Jamsetji and Dorabji Tata? Or Dhirubai Ambani?, asks on X user. "Funny, I asked Grok that same question and it came up with a dozen (radically shortened): Sundar Pichai: CEO of Google & Alphabet Ritu Karidhal Srivastava she led the team that achieved India's historic soft landing on the Moon's south pole UPI: revolutionized digital payments," posted another. Why it matters Some might dismiss this as 'just another controversial tweet,' but there's a bigger picture. Statements like these feed into stereotypes and erase the very real struggles and successes of millions. India, like any other country, has flaws. But it's also one of the fastest-growing economies, a hub for technology, and a country whose diaspora is shaping global culture, medicine, and innovation. More importantly, many young Indians look up to figures in tech, sports, and science as proof that they can achieve big things. When someone with a platform dismisses all of that, it's not just insulting—it's damaging. Lessons from the backlash What this episode really shows is that the internet won't let sweeping generalizations slide anymore. Social media has given people a megaphone, and when someone tries to tear down the achievements of a whole group, others are quick to fact-check, push back, and set the record straight. At the same time, it's also a reminder that achievements don't always have to come in the form of Nobel Prizes or billion-dollar companies. Sometimes it's about resilience, like how Indian farmers, workers, and ordinary families keep things moving in one of the most complex societies on Earth. That too is an achievement. Charles Haywood might have thought he was making a bold point, but his comment about India backfired badly. Instead of sparking intellectual debate, it revealed a shallow understanding of global contributions. The trolling he received was well-deserved—and honestly, kind of poetic. Because here's the truth: Indians aren't just achieving, they're thriving—whether it's leading Fortune 500 companies, breaking new ground in science, writing award-winning books, or sending spacecraft to the Moon. Dismissing 1.5 billion people with a single tweet doesn't just look arrogant; it looks ridiculous. So next time someone claims Indians haven't done 'anything of note,' maybe remind them they're probably saying that while scrolling on a device coded, built, or designed by—you guessed it—an Indian.
