Featuring Beyonce and Sonam Kapoor, Coldplay's latest video 'Hymn For The Weekend', was shot in India.
While many have applauded the release, just as many Indians are upset with the British rock band's depiction of the country.
The video is made up of shots of holy men in temples, streets kids, taxi rides, the colourful festival of holi, Beyonce strutting in an Indian queen-like attire, Sonam Kapoor briefly running, and a few more taxi shots.
So upset by @coldplay using my culture as a prop for their music video. India isn't just street kids and exotic women. #HymnForTheWeekend

Coldplay's new video is basically what India looks like to white people

Colonial Brit fascination with India is well captured in the ColdPlay video. You guys missed the elephant, an integral part of our culture.

So you mean to tell me Coldplay went all the way to India and couldn't manage to imagine make a featuring with an Indian singer?

No thanks for the bundle of stereotypes @coldplay. No wonder then that #India will be known as the country of snake charmers & sadhus.
