American filmmaker and New York Times journalist Adam Elik has discussed online after sharing a video of Indian travelers, which despite repeated warnings is trying to recover his belongings from the overhead compartment despite repeated warnings. The video opens with a text insert – “Landing textbook in India for the first time.” The clip shows several air travelers that they try to recur their belongings from the overhead compartment, while members of a female crew repeatedly ask them to sit until the seatbelt sign is closed. A male staff member also repeats the same announcement, after which passengers reluctantly return to their seats.
“Classic Landing in India,” was written by Mr. Elik in the post caption. In the video, he also revealed that the passengers got up from their seats, while the aircraft was still going on the runway.

While some agreed with the filmmaker, others criticized the video for labeled as “Classic Indian Landing”. Some users also noted how the “magic male voice” was successful while the female voice was ignored.
One user wrote, “It is difficult to ignore the fact that the magic male voice was immediately successful, while many requests in the female voice were completely unheard. As an Indian woman, I find it very unstable,” a user wrote.

“Civil spirit, lack of selfishness, this country is full of such legends,” another commented. A third user said, “Full embarrassment. See this, feel the embarrassment of the other hand.”
However, a user wrote, “Has been in the US 13 times and always found Americans doing the same minimum 8 to 10 times, so please do not normalize the same event.”
“This is not about a particular country @Adamellick. I live in the UK and it is the same here. If you travel around the world, you will know.”
One user wrote, “You have not gone to Germany then. It has nothing to do with the race. Even Italians do it. Indian society is very competitive … You should come from NYC to understand it better,” a user wrote.
