thing no no but that's what I'm saying it's governments and people are separate yeah because now now the Western people are thinking that there's only crazy Hindu nationalists in uh in in India really yes yeah yeah I was asking like where like if you go further down south you'll get the cleaner beaches right no no they did not agree I did not agree there are people doing things on the beach that you won't like it are not pleasant thought someone relieving himself on the beach all right guys bye awesome to meet you see you guys oh here's a coconut but they're not selling them on the beach they say syndicates there seems to be like uh maybe the you know maybe the coconut sellers want to keep it in a certain area for the corn sellers they don't want no coconut sellers because everybody wants a coconut so no coconut on the beach sorry I was expecting the beach the beaches just to go and get nicer further down south I don't know doesn't sound like it but then again uh what do the Chennai locals think which one what's the best beach around here near the city this actually I stumbled on fishing boat I wasn't expecting uh that here and um this city I think started out as a fishing Village founded a not sure by the Portuguese the Dutch also later came and with the British really became a larger City in a time when it was called Madras they got him the fish he's a merman oh yeah

and now we're getting the apartment blocks here this was pretty cool though having them right here on the beach it looks like over there they're painting uh murals yeah one uh one matchly lady wasn't too happy with the exposure oh look at that so the murals here oh they're working on it too here they have one of those lifts you are painters you're painters mural artists very nice action to do uh

yeah but it's not as bad as over there behind the machli Wallas you get used to it yeah that's true it's true yeah [Music] artists [Music] small well a big shrine is also a little Temple then that's right and over there Namaste sir so there is a is I think a big church or Cathedral even and I found out something really cool about it it's pretty crazy actually let's go have a look at it there is Basilica Church Catholic Church very famous Church very old eh 1525. good I think it was built but Portuguese but the Dutch were also on this Coast so this is the part where the Portuguese side meet my Dutch side meat from the past of course India was already a long long time many empires come and gone for the Europeans even arrived here but what was built here this structure started out as every hundred years or so it got expanded I think it was a cathedral out of it I might be wrong there but here's the cool thing the fun fact I've been building up to and that's that and I think most of you know what the Bible is what the Christian religion is right who Jesus Christ is right that man Jesus and twelve apostles and out here in this church on the east side of India one of the Apostles is buried was buried here two thousand years almost ago [Music] Apostle Thomas St Thomas and that's why this church is called Church basilica I mentioned before to trade routes back in the day the Romans they were connected to India by sea around Yemen and then through Egypt the broader products were going to the rest of the Roman Empire well the route went both ways so the Apostle Thomas he was the first person them I think who came to the Indian subcontinent the word of Jesus Christ it's killed here somewhere there's a shrine for that too and then buried at this site one of the 12 apostles in the east of India it's it's just crazy 2 000 years ago people used to like that crazy right I find it crazy I find it very interesting foreign yeah yeah so on that historic we end this uh day of why the Chennai water and um tomorrow I'm flying out to Sri Lanka and I just want to say this is not the end of it for India I just briefly have to get out of the country otherwise modibai we'll get upset and after some time there I'll come back to India and we're going to travel some more and we are going finally also head up north see what's there with Indian maze join me on those travels to Sri Lanka I think you have a long pass for that country and you might see some interesting things there do there also thanks for watching and uh I'll see you all on the other side of uh of the sea here
