@nawala123 yes, usually the white onions are big, much bigger than the red shallots.

Collins Dictionary: "Shallots are small round vegetables that are the roots of a crop and are similar to onions. They have a strong taste and are used for flavouring other food."

Anna is correct. Asian shallots are really small and pinkish. Onions are bigger.

For me, shallots are the small onions. The bigger ones are called onions, either red or white.

We used to call it Onion in my country. It is essential part of all recipes in South Indian dishes.

Based on your picture those are onion. Shallot is smaller and what we called in bahasa "bawang Merah" Shallot also has stronger taste compared to the onion.
