History

 Technical Guruji channel was started by Gaurav Chaudhary back in 2015. Since then he hasn’t looked back. He has been making new videos daily without a break in between since then. You can safely say people trust him and really consider his advice which he offers on his channel. He has completed his education from BITS Pilani in Dubai.

 

Current Status

 He currently has a subscriber base of over 19 million on YouTube. He is also active on other social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. There are millions other following him there. He also has another YouTube channel with his name Gaurav Choudhary where he uploads lifestyle vlogs. He is the biggest Tech YouTuber of India and also among the top five Tech reviewers on YouTube in the world.

 

How It Started?

Since June this year India and China are having a hard time at the international border near Kashmir valleys. In the same month about 20 Indian soldiers were martyred. This caused a huge spark in India to boycott China and the Chinese brands and products. The Indian Government on the other hand banned about 59 Chinese Apps saying they are stealing data of Indian Users. Tik Tok was the most talked app then, which was one of the Apps which was banned along with the other 58 Apps. One section of India was completely upset with Tik Tok due to their cringe worthy content, while the other section enjoyed the App.

 

Ever since Tik Tok was banned our beloved Guruji was on cloud nine. He couldn't hold back his happiness so much so that he created multiple videos showing his happiness on the said ban. In one of the videos he even printed few logos of some Chinese apps along with Tik Tok, threw them on a road and cleaned them with a broom and threw those prints in a dust bin. He made another video where he had all Chinese brand phones on his desk. He installed Tik Tok on all those phones and later deleted them. We really don't understand why he pulled off these kinds of stunts or rather what exactly he wanted to prove. He even urged his subscribers and followers to delete these apps and support the country. He even at multiple times gave news about how Tik Tok was degrading with its star ratings on Google play store, indirectly indicating his fans to rate 1 star for Tik Tok on play stores.

He didn't hold back there, he made another Video and pledged that he will never promote any Chinese brand phones or China made products on his channel (no one asked him to do so).

 

It didn't take a lot longer for our Guruji to comeback with multiple other brand promotions. He unboxed Vivo, Oppo, Huawei, One Plus and Realme brand phones. Except for taking indirect digs at Xiaomi at multiple occasions while keeping their products on his desk and not unboxing them while telling his subscribers that he doesn't feel like unboxing the product. In this case it was the newly launched Xiaomi Laptop.

So, is he an Opportunist or a Hypocrite?

 In our opinion he is both an Opportunist as well as a hypocrite.

 Hypocrite

We believe he is a hypocrite because despite those promises he made on his channel which nobody asked for he is targeting only specific Chinese brand however is still promoting the other Chinese brands on his channel. The very recent being the One Plus Nord phone which he was seen promoting on his channel.

 We would only like to ask our Guruji, "Why? "

 If you can't commit to what you are saying then, why do it? In Hindi there is a very good saying for this (Thook kar ....). This saying perfectly fits for our Guruji.

 We know YouTubers don't make videos for charity; everybody wants to earn from all the sources they can. Except for a handful people like Sandeep Maheshwari who still hasn't monetised his YouTube Channel.

 

Why we think he is an opportunist?

Taking advantage of the then situation between Indian and China he pulled of the above explained stunts. We still didn't know why exactly he did that considering he has those millions and millions of fans subscribed to him.

 He claims he has other businesses too and YouTube isn't the only work he has. We totally believe our Guruji and do not doubt that. But what was the need of being so hyper nationalist and venting out so much. Making videos after videos to boycott Chinese Product and uninstall Chinese Apps.

With these kinds of stunts, he garnered views in millions and surely earned pretty well. Also, while creating opportunity for himself to promote more products in the future of Chinese brands.

 

 How about his subscribers?

There are many subscribers who follow and listen to Guruji; however, the subscribers are equally opportunist and hypocrites too. Our Guruji very lovingly arranges giveaways on his channels. There are certain criteria to be met for the subscribers to win the give aways, like subscribing his channel, giving a like, share, comment and follow on Instagram. The subscribers are literally begging to get the give away from Guruji in the comments section. You may pick any of the giveaway video and check the comments section, literally everyone is begging for that giveaway. Doesn't even matter if the giveaway is of a Chinese brand phone.

We just want to urge our Guruji, please stop being a hypocrite and an opportunist. If you can't do it please don't commit and show off unnecessary things. We also through this blog would like to urge our readers to follow some good channels which aren't so biased and create opportunity based on the current and ongoing situations.

 

Note: We are not promoting any Chinese brands here, or rather any brand. We are just calling out based on our observations.
