Raja, who came back to the country 6 years later, expected them to treat him differently, but faced the same judgment.

Overview

  • The vlogger, known as Explorer Raja, posted a viral Instagram video after visiting 120 countries, naming Georgia his worst experience.
  • He recounts a 2019 trip where he says he waited four hours at the border despite valid documents and was strip-searched before a flight to Paris.
  • Returning six years later, he alleges an immigration officer said it was impossible for an Indian to be a tourist before handing back his passport after more than two hours.
  • He also claims discriminatory behavior from locals during his stays.
  • Indian outlets highlight mixed reactions to his post, and the reports note no independent corroboration or official response from Georgian authorities.
