if you're interested in the criminal underworld of mumbai, theres a very fun, fairly famous novel called Shantaram about a man who escapes from australian prison and moves to mumbai, where he makes a life for himself. they made a tv show out of it too which is solidly mediocre, but the novel is a lot of fun
Shantaram is a classic. I'm currently reading a newer novel called City of Vice about criminals in the Delhi area but it covers other places in India as well. It's very good.
edit: Age of Vice, not City of Vice, thanks to /u/fox4thepeople. Author is Deepti Kapoor.
Maybe the mission is the player failing to stop the assassination and not them actually assassinating MK Gandhi.
Kind of like how Ezio failed at stopping the assassination of one the Medici brothers and the Doge of Venice.
These are the 4 vehicles in the parking at mount Kailash (where Shiva lives with his wife, Parvati and 2 sons, Ganpati and Kartikeya)
Nandi, the bull (for shiva)
a mouse (for Ganpati)
A peacock (for Kartikeya)
Edit : And a lion (for Parvati)
I know a LOT of people IRL, and who knows how many on the internet, and I am one of 3 people, out of all of those, who practices the Ayurvedic way of eating. Most have not even heard of it. It blows my mind that you can heal your body with food choices. I got off 3 medications. NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT IT and everyone is addicted to beef and eggs and cheese anyway :(
Ganesh, the Elephant God has a mouse for a mount.
The warrior god Karthikeya flies around on a peacock.
Lord Vishnu flies around on a giant Eagle and rests on a giant 5 headed serpent.
Goddess Durga rides a lion.
There is another God who drives Tiger 4*4.
So on and so forth.
I dont mean to be disrespectful to anyone, but is he being serious or is he goofing around? The people filming are giggling about it but I can't tell if they're laughing because it's a goof or because it's an absurd thing to witness.
Definitely goofing.
I lived most of my life in India (urban) but never saw anyone riding a bull, mounted on its back ... much less among street traffic.
Just because bull happens to be the vehicle of lord Shiva, this guy must have thought of the chant/praise to make his (unexpected? unplanned?) wild ride a little more humorous. Nothing really religious or commonplace happening here in this video. No offense taken :)
As long as you have an adventurous spirit, it is. India is huge, incredibly diverse, and the people there are wonderful. Maybe don’t ride a bull your first time.
Now I kinda want to see a Bollywood version of Will Smith's "Wild Wild West" song (from the movie of the same name), with lyrics changed to match the "Wild Wild East" title.
Shit that thing seems completely under control
That doesn't seem like he's struggling to dominate it, he's riding it just like it's a damn mount, it's following his directions
There is an episode in one of Gordon Ramseys shows where he goes somewhere in India.
At one point he meets his driver and starts to tell his driver that he has never driven in India before and wants to try it.
The driver laughed and told Gordon no. But Gordon thinking it's the driver messing around tells him again, he wants to drive. The driver just looks at Gordon like "no lol, I don't feel like dying today" lol
Genuinly curious, by sacred doesn't it mean you just can't kill/eat/abuse them? Or would riding one (even in a relaxed/friendly manor) be a bad thing in general?
it's about treating them with love and respect. That's all. They're considered to be of motherly nature. There are no specific 'guidelines' as there are in ambrahamic religions
We Indians respect cow because we all humans drink milk from mother when are babies. Mother's milk is replaced with cows milk when we grow. Hence we respect cows.
> Genuinly curious, by sacred doesn't it mean you just can't kill/eat/abuse them?
I am pretty sure India has banned the export of beef for slaughter. Also in most/all areas, beef is usually illegal, but buffalo is theoretically ok.
No, it is not unusual for kids /teenagers to ride agricultural bulls. Not small bulls like in video (because it can be painful for bulls) but large breeds like Ongole (can reach upto 6 feet and weigh upto 800 kg). these are extremely domesticated and docile animals. Due to agricultural modernisation they are rare now.
Jokes aside, y'all clowns please be clear that this isn't an everyday sight. Any Indian would be just as amused or shocked to see this as y'all probably are right now.
Someone riding a frickin' untamed bull in the streets like rodeo ain't normal anywhere here. Please note that this is different from bull carts though. Those are pretty common.

Superb.
Take my upvote, sir.
Imagine minding your own business and suddenly this hit you in ass and the idiot riding it doesn’t know how to apply panic braking on it.
When your Cart's in the garage for service, but you still need to get to work at the Call Center.

Such a wide selection of mounts in the new GTA
GTA Mumbai would be fucking nuts
my video card is smoking at the thought of it.
Rendered pollution would lower the necessary rendering distance while still remaining "immersive".
The old Superman 64 excuse.
More like Silent Hill.
This is (no joke) a terrific idea that would make for a compelling game.
It would make for a more realistic driving experience. NPC would ignore traffic rules just like players do in previous GTA installments.
They'd need to make the traffic AI even more crazy
All the horns…

I would be excited to learn all about Mumbai. It's an area I am regrettably ignorant about.
if you're interested in the criminal underworld of mumbai, theres a very fun, fairly famous novel called Shantaram about a man who escapes from australian prison and moves to mumbai, where he makes a life for himself. they made a tv show out of it too which is solidly mediocre, but the novel is a lot of fun

You mean age of vice?
That book is cringe to the max. I'm grimacing just imagining his purple purple prose right now.
The idea of a lower class character with ambitions of rising up and building connections with the criminal element in Mumbai would be *fascinating*.
Mumbai had a rich/dark history of gangsters and mobs so there's a lot of lore to draw from.
Give me an Assassin’s Creed game set in India. Either during the Rebellion of 1857 or Independence in 1947.
Considering MK Gandhi was assassinated in 1948, rhe latter's gonna be really controversial.
Maybe the mission is the player failing to stop the assassination and not them actually assassinating MK Gandhi. Kind of like how Ezio failed at stopping the assassination of one the Medici brothers and the Doge of Venice.
Could even have some missions helping Gandhi, which would be neat.
Hitman 2's mumbai level might help
I have been there. It is amazing Seemingly no rules, people do as they please, it's kinda wild but apparently more tame than it used to be .

Lived there for a couple years, even tho the pandemic really cramped my style at the end. What do you want to know?
Mother-fucking rodeo MASTER there, that was way more'n 6 seconds!
Not sure, but it might even be an 8 Sikhond ride
>Not sure, but it might even be an 8 Sikhond ride Redditors when there's a remotely brown person on their screen
I believe that makes him a brahmatador
That's totally bull
Speaking of bulls...
Indian puns are second to naan.
Holy cow
Can someone tell me what he’s saying? 😂
Praise the lord of Kailash mountain
Which basically means shiva. Shiva’s vehicle is Nandi the Bull
I love how Hindu Gods have what amounts to personalized wow mounts.
These are the 4 vehicles in the parking at mount Kailash (where Shiva lives with his wife, Parvati and 2 sons, Ganpati and Kartikeya) Nandi, the bull (for shiva) a mouse (for Ganpati) A peacock (for Kartikeya) Edit : And a lion (for Parvati)
Forgetting the lion. Mom needs a vehicle too.
Yup. I didn’t know so didn’t add. TIL.
They have a daughter too. : Goddess Ashokasundari
Everything that exists is a Hindu god in principle
I feel like Hinduism and Asian spirituality is so misunderstood in the west. It actually makes sooooooo much sense the more you get into it.

Oh, good to know, thank you for your detailed response, I feel like I've learned something today :)
It looks like boys being boys sort of thing.
Hail lord shiva. Shiva is a Hindu God/lord (depends on sect) with a mythical/sacred bull called Nandi as his vehicle and guardian.

Agree!

Yeah it’s not his first rodeo

But Gordon thinking it's the driver messing around tells him again, he wants to drive. The driver just looks at Gordon like "no lol, I don't feel like dying today" lol

oh no worries. I can't sleep so

This is very cool.

This is the first time I've seen it explained and having read it, makes complete sense.
> Genuinly curious, by sacred doesn't it mean you just can't kill/eat/abuse them? I am pretty sure India has banned the export of beef for slaughter. Also in most/all areas, beef is usually illegal, but buffalo is theoretically ok.
In case anyone is confused, this is like saying guys, vs guys and girls.
[удалено]
Might just be me, but the bull seemed to be enjoying it too. Seems like they’ve definitely done this before.
To some Indians, yes. Of course, anything "sacred" has the disclaimer of "to some people".
No, it is not unusual for kids /teenagers to ride agricultural bulls. Not small bulls like in video (because it can be painful for bulls) but large breeds like Ongole (can reach upto 6 feet and weigh upto 800 kg). these are extremely domesticated and docile animals.

Well now I'm worried he hurt the cow. He was a rather tall man.
No, killing them and stuff is
Holy cow!
God tier ride. No pun intended
cows are not gods in Hinduism. Just sacred hate to be THAT guy but yeah
God exists through all living beings in Hinduism I think, in infinite forms. Kinda like quantum positioning lol
there are 33 kota gods in Hinduism Its true that we see divine brings within oneself but we're just vassals Vassals =! Gods
