Indian Vada Pav & Pani Puri in Japan? | Yogendra Puranik | Sarva Kaahi Clips

संपूर्ण एपिसोड इथे बघा :    • The Marathi Minister of Japan - Hidden Rac...   SUBSCRIBE to / @sarvakaahi Marathi Podcast by Dr Manjiri Puranik On today’s episode of Sarva Kaahi, we have a truly extraordinary guest — Yogendra Puranik (Yogi-san), the first Indian to become a Minister, MLA, and Gazetted Officer in Japan. In this powerful, emotional, and eye-opening Marathi podcast, Yogi shares his unbelievable journey from Ambernath, Maharashtra to the corridors of power in Tokyo — rising from a modest background to becoming a respected Japanese government official, education reformer, and community leader. What began with a Japanese language scholarship turned into a lifelong mission of social justice, cross-cultural harmony, and empowering Indians abroad. Yogi talks candidly about the harsh truths of racism in Japan, job discrimination, legal hurdles, and how Indians and foreigners struggle with systemic bias. From rescuing jailed IIT students to confronting bureaucratic corruption, Yogi has become a beacon for the Indian diaspora in Japan, fondly known as Hanuman and Superman by the community. He also shares how his 70-year-old mother runs Reka Indian Home Food Restaurant, now one of Japan’s most loved authentic Indian food spots — serving Misal Pav, Puran Poli, and Shrikhand. His Marathi cultural centre in Tokyo, complete with Shivaji Maharaj’s statue, mantra chanting, Kathak classes, and Indian festivals, is preserving India’s soul abroad. As a school principal and motivational speaker for Japan’s top educators, Yogi is now revolutionizing Japan’s rigid education system from within. And yes — he’s preparing to run for the Governor elections in 2029, aiming to drive real policy change. This conversation touches on mental health in Japan, life as a foreigner, gender equality in China, and how students can benefit from MEXT scholarships and education in Japan. If you’re interested in study abroad, life in Japan for Indians, Marathi achievers overseas, or global career inspiration — this episode is a must-watch. A once-in-a-lifetime story of ambition, service, and identity — from Ambernath to Japan. For more amazing podcasts on varied topics, subscribe to Sarva Kaahi.
