American YouTuber Claims He Got Sick In India Despite Eating At Only 5-Star Hotels
Last Updated: YouTuber Tyler Oliveira faced backlash for generalising India's hospitality and lifestyle after falling sick. An American YouTuber's claim that he got sick in India despite eating only at five-star hotels caused a stir on the Internet amongst Indians, who accused him of defaming the country. Tyler Oliveira, a 25-year-old US-based YouTuber, sparked debates after saying he got ill on his visit to the subcontinent country despite paying for meals at luxurious hotels. Oliveira's remarks were made in response to an Indian influencer after she had alleged that foreign travellers of propagating negative stereotypes about the nation. In a viral video, Twinkle Stanly lashed out against travellers who visit unhygienic locations due to a lack of information and awareness and end up throwing brickbats at India for the shortcomings they had experienced. Stanly's clip also addressed foreign travellers' tendency to romanticise poverty in India by actively seeking underprivileged locations and how the same travellers then go on to disparage India as a 'pathetic" country after encountering troubles. Offering a counterpoint to the lady's clip, Oliveira shared his own ordeal and said calling out India's shortcomings shouldn't be considered an act of racism: 'During my trip to India, I ONLY ate in 5-star hotels and still contracted 4 types of Salmonella. The hotel sourced its eggs from a filthy chicken farm right next to a literal mountain of trash. There are serious hygiene issues that must be addressed in India. It is NOT racist to address the poor quality of life most Indians are subjected to while the upper caste insulates itself from reality." Backing his concern, Oliveira responded to a user by noting that the five-star hotels he stayed at cost around USD 100 per night, which, while budget-friendly for him as an American tourist, would be luxurious and too expensive for most Indians. Oliveira then also shared the medical proof of his bout with illness. But as the US traveller's post spread among Indians on Twitter, he only further received a backlash. Many criticised Oliveira for painting the wrong image of India's hospitality and overall lifestyle. Amidst the flood of comments, some pointed out that similar incidents occur with travellers in 5-star hotels of other countries as well, while others attributed his issues to a sensitive stomach. A user summed up the other side of the argument, writing: 'Look, your salmonella sob story doesn't prove India's got some unique hygiene crisis. Bad eggs can come from anywhere—it happens in the U.S., Europe, you name it. You're acting like five-star hotels in India are uniquely incompetent, but global supply chains are messy everywhere. That 'filthy farm" you're whining about? It could just as easily be a shady supplier for a Western hotel. You've got no data, just a grudge." 'You're blaming India's hygiene issues for your salmonella while ignoring the fact that five-star hotels anywhere can screw up food safety. You think fancy hotels guarantee clean eggs? Please. Those places cut corners just like anywhere else—sourcing from sketchy farms isn't unique to India. You're cherry-picking a single bad experience to dunk on an entire country's hygiene standards," commented another user. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 16:58 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Indian Railways To Revamp 5 Nashik Stations Ahead Of Kumbh Mela, Know More
Last Updated: With a Rs 1,011 crore boost, five railway stations in Nashik are getting a big makeover to manage massive pilgrim rush during Simhastha Kumbh Mela. Indian Railways has announced a major revamp of five key stations in Nashik district – Nashik Road, Devlali, Odha, Kasbe Sukene, and Kherwadi. Approved by Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Rs 1,011 crore plan aims to improve passenger facilities and train handling capacity in time for the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela. As per TOI, during a review meeting, top railway officials including Minister of State Ravneet Singh Bittu, evaluated detailed proposals presented by Central Railway's senior team. Which Stations Are Getting Upgraded? Devlali Station Devlali, located near Nashik Road station on the Mumbai side, will see the addition of three new platforms. Two of them will manage traffic from Mumbai and Nashik separately, while the third will cater to passing trains. The station will also get six new lines – including pit lines, sick lines, and stabilising lines – for better train maintenance and parking. Nashik Road Station With space limitations, the focus here is on adding two parking lines. Platform 1 will be extended to fit 24-coach trains, and Platform 4 will be upgraded to serve trains from both directions. This station will become a key holding area during the mela, with five new stabilising lines and a third platform. During non-mela periods, Odha will be used for agricultural and goods transport. Kasbe Sukene & Kherwadi Stations Kasbe Sukene's platform will be extended to handle 22-coach trains, double the current capacity. Kherwadi will get two new platforms to accommodate 24-coach trains. What Other Facilities Are Being Added? Every station will be equipped with a special 'Mela Tower'—a hub for CCTV surveillance, announcements, control rooms, security, and large holding areas for pilgrims. Wider foot overbridges will also be built for safer and quicker movement. When Will It All Be Ready? About half of the work has already started. The rest will begin soon, with land acquisition likely from January 2026. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
