In 1930 traveling from Lucknow to .... 'A private video shot by an American couple'. 

i dont know what other noticed, but i couldnt see plastic in this whole video !!!

This couple is the first vlogger.

RU-vid : Let's recommend this beautiful video to this soul after 8 years

Ah! RU-vidr of those times😅😂

0:11 Guys Can you believe this is Charbagh Railway Station ?

thanks for that America couples for showing olden views

The British were so great at hiding their faults and so great at showing that India was an orthodox nation.

Thanks for this rare video. How clean, calm and organized we were in those days! I think we are deteriorating as a society in many ways.

It is a sad Video. I don't respect English People for what they did to Beautiful, wise Indian country and People...

In 1930 our grand father's, parent's was in there younger age. In varansi .

Thanks to Américan couple jiski wajah sy humein apni history dikhai love from pakistan 🇵🇰

अविश्वसनीय, यह वीडियो जिसने भी बनाया है उसका दिल से आभार। कितने शांत वातावरण मे घंटे की आवाज सुनाई दे रही है, गंगा मैया का दृश्य व वनारस शहर पहले भी पर्यटन का केन्द्र रहा है। बहुत बहुत अदभुत वीडियो। बनाने वाले की जितनी प्रशंसा की जाए कम है।

A line in the video says that "the ashes of dead are unceremoniously thrown in the water of the Ganges in Benaras". You do not need any ceremony on top of a ceremony. The maker of the video probably did not realise that having ones' ashes immersed in Ganga in Kashi is itself the greatest last ceremony for a Hindu. Very few Hindus can hope its done for them. As per belief, it gives instant moksha.

Marvellous to see. My family lived there during this period. Worked on the railways (AI community). My father was an engine driver. I visited 2 yrs ago the beautiful city and the houses of my direct ancestors + churches (Central Methodist + Christchurch) + graveyards. One day to return again and absorb the history.

Thanks a lot American Couples . May your souls rest in peace . Thanks a lot for visuals

Love from Pakistan. I love Lucknow. I love Luknow. I miss Lucknow

Now this is the music that has the vibe of Indian culture into it. Not some stupid Bollywood music.

thats my city so proud of it

I really feel delighted when someone admires Banaras for its ancient civilization and religious significance as well as the beauty of Lucknow.

Nobody : RU-vid algorithm : let's recommend 90 years old year video.

Lovely video. I wonder who plays the background music in the first part and at the end of the video. It was very clever and artistic at some point to stop the background music and leave only the sounds of the Ganges river, the voices of people, and the ringing of the bells. No need of music there.

Wow.. Maja aa gaya Hinduism is the father of all religion

Time to stop saying British looted india 👍

Lucknow is really one of the hidden treasures of India. People are still unaware of the beauty of this place.

My family are also from uttar pradesh... in meerut. .. they go back generations! (The Anglo-Indian side and possibly thousands from the Indian side!) I'd LOVE to go U.P and walk in the footsteps of my ancestors

My grandfathers birthplace. Thanks for sharing this!

0:00 ; It was not a sepoy mutiny, It was the first war of Independence of India.!

ye Lucknow ke to baat he alagh hi i love my LKO

हमारी प्राचीन संस्कृती !!!!🙏🌹 धन्यवाद, अमेरिकन श्रीमान श्रीमती जी 🙏🙏🙏

Zero plastic environment i kept looking for the plastic during the whole video

What a rare shoot of old Lucknow! Thanks for the preservation of these long years and sharing.

incredible what a nice video of the indias pre-independence era thanks tornos india for uploading this

There is no difference in treatment,in those days and nowadays same justice prevailing,no justice for poor, common, underprivileged.Now constitution to keep power of Parliamentarian, bosses.

5:48 Thanks for prefixing Mother Before Ganga 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Mighty Ganges River is a cesspool now. Ganga must be might displeased with Hindus for not safe-guarding her sancity.

There maybe some disadvantages of the British Empire, but do not forget that they had also banned evil superstitions in India like Sati, encouraged women education and what not. Also you can google and search that Britain is one of the safest country with very polite people. They have also donated a lot of money to India.And before the British came many other empires have looted India. So, there is no point in blaming them. Blaming others will not help us to go ahead.

Seems Utter Pradesh was a lot cleaner in British control than in local Up wala's control. Pathetic conditions nowadays vis-a-vis environment and cleanliness

Don't know why... this brings a mild heart ache... that music...

Things have worsened since independence. Blast of population, pollution everywhere in India.

Birtain nay Bharat par 200 varssho takk raaj kiya aur Bhartio pat bhoo atayachar aur zulmo sitam kiya hai..😮😮

5:47 - No the unburnt parts (bones) are never uncermoniously 'thrown'. We, in norther India call them 'phool', hindi for flowers and they are ceremoniously poured into the river Ganga - Maa (Mother) Ganga as we call it.

This is the first vlog ever shot.....what a beautiful video though

Ye faltu ke background music maat diya karo yaar...pura mood khrab kar deta hai

Wow, this is a treasure. Thanks for sharing..

Looks like lot less population! Ghats have few people when film was made!

We were 100years behind the europe, America and Japan that time

Kash maine 1930 me thodi zameen khareed li hoti charbagh ke paas. Crorepati hote aaj😂

not much have changed infrastructure wise.

Wish Britishers would have continued 🤗

Fascinating , 3rd party look at the the Indian Rising. I've often wondered what would have happened if the British ( not just the English , but Scots & Irissh too) had been kicked out. Maybe no unified state , but no partition too. A comparison to Lexington , what a joke. The British were defending their lives , but invoked the most savage and brutal retribution that ended up in freedom a century later , but sowed the seeds of partition by flavouring the Muslims and betraying the Sikhs and Bengalis

Mujhe to aaj ka india pasand hai..kyun purana india ke log bahot casteism karte the...🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏

India was much Clean in British Rule than Now

same dirty river banks nothing changed

I am born n brought up in Lucknow Now living in far away land This is very nostalgic for people like me All memories refreshed in just one shot Charbagh Station The sight of Imambara brought tears My ancestral house used to be near to that. Varanasi of course such nostalgia will last for a full day Oh! What a feeling!!! My place My people

Poverty and misery i saw ... And in 2020 i see poverty and misery plus potential ..

British loved India and developed India

Mera Bharat Mahan🇮🇳🙏🚩

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE TO MY LUCKNOW...!!!!! O:)

They push dead bodies into the river

Syayad yae Banaras kay ghat hai...😊

RU-vid: chalo 8 saal se kuchh chhupa k rakkha hun...dikhati hun rukoo😏

One of the oldest vlogging video.

Background music is beautiful, soulful.

IN 1930 VARANASI HAS SO MANY TEMPLE WOW GUD AND THEY R STILL THERE IN 2020 ......BUT DONT UNDERSTAND Y INDIAN GOVERNMENT SAYS HINDU KHATREA MEIN HAI 😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣

wow... this is nostalgic... Lucknow & Varanasi, i happen to live longest outside my home as student & still connected to both places. Amazing picture quality considering when it was taken. Indeed authentic considering the first image of Lucknow railway station.

Love from Britain. Showing a time when we were ruled by rich elites. Working people from the UK, India and the whole "Empire" were traded badly. Fortunately love won and we look after each other in our new Commonwealth of which glorious India is the dominant power of.

Thanks a thousand to YOU TUBE for this lovely lovely vedio. Sound of flowing water of GANGA MAYYA, The temple bells ringing in the background make the vedio all the more lovely. The background music brought tears to my eyes with out reason.

Can't define the vibes I am getting after watching this video in words 😌

अति सुंदर परिदृश्य पुरानी याद ताजा हो गई ये दोनों कोन नही जानता लेकिन राजघराने को देखकर बहुत सुंदर लगा

RU-vid:- Put this video in Vault. We will recommend him after 8 years.

I am based out of Varanasi Cantonment. My great grandfather was working for British Army. I love Varanasi Cantonment 💕

not much has changed?

Orthodox? May be. But we love it. Though we are orthodox, we respect other faiths also. Thats why Hindustan is called a sub-continent. So many religions. So many cultures. So many dress codes. Some many food habits. So many languages. So many traditions. Experience our hospitality. We serve food with a smiling face. We compel you eat more. We do not allow you to take your plate to the cleaning sink. We give water to wash your hands and feet after lunch. We offer a towel to wipe your feet and hands. We offer you beetle leaves and nuts. Our culture is so rich, that you cannot forget our hosptality all through your life. If you forget, well i do not have a word to describe you. Do you know, in India, more than 10 million people are offered free food daily in temples like Tirupathi Sri Balaji Mandir, varanasi, sai mandir etc. If some nomads call us orthodox, we still like it.

Psyco Queen of England wanted to rule everywhere... including MARS

Watching it from Lucknow

That time when people from other countries used to come to India for work to earn more and now we are going there for work to earn more ....!!!

RU-vid : Let's recommend this beautiful video to this soul after 12 years

Would have been nice to have some historical background; during the "Indian Rebellion" of 1857, Lucknow was besieged by mutineering sepoys (Indian soldiers enrolled in the British army), for almost 150 days (first and second siege). The beginning of the video shows the ruins of the Lucknow Residency (the walls clearly pockmarked by bullets and cannonballs), one of the important defence lines of the British.

Nobody seen in the video are alive now, not the British Raj , nothing is permanent, only the burning ghat of Beneras is still alive and doing its duty.

Station sign of lukhnow is in English only! Looks like Urdu Hindi etc signs came later after 1930! Sure Brits were pretty arrogant lot!

Very picturesque view of the Indian cities in the era of Britishers ! Marvelous nostalgic experience as time travel !!

WHAT IF.. people in that video are born again and actually watching themselves in their last birth...🤔

Proud of your City? You can't be serious. You are proud of what it was but definitely can't be for what it has been turned into today. Just look around. Filth, crime, turning into ruins with people pissing and writing over historical walls everywhere, UP politicians constantly looting people after they elected them for their caste, religion or nepotism. How can you love Mayawati ke Hathi in Lucknow?

Just for people residing in Lucknow. Are miya Dilli to hai dilwalo ki.... Magar hamare lucknow me to ishq ki taleem di jaati hai....🔥😍

I am from Lucknow. Cant believe the station name board to look like this

Its amazing. But i am disappointed from viewers bcz 638 k view but less one subscribe this channel

Video is special because of its timing as it was when United States started embracing greatness and India which was until recently then one of the greatest nation on earth was ruined

What's shocking is that Benaras ghat hasn't changed much in the last 100 yrs, skyline of temples and customs desperately need to be redeveloped for the 21st century so that we are able to maintain a fine balance between traditions and water pollution. All illegal shanties and encroachers need to be booted out and ghat structures reconstructed !!

I can see Modiji fighting for freedom & in 2014 we got independence

If I recall, when the Brits left they took the flagpole from the ressidency with them so it would never fly anything but the union jack. And those big guns they were admiring had prisoners tied to them and blew them to smithereens.

Almost 70 percent of people in this video must have died .. and I am watching them live

A tremendous film to view which was made by the American couple. Looking at the history of the place around that time, were the visitors possibly engaged with Missionary/Church projects. There were many within India at the time. Our direct ancestor Pastor Matthew Stephens was pastor at the Methodist Church(Central I think) and his family were active in the church and vicinity. At the beginning of the film, it briefly showed Charbagh station. My direct ancestors were PWI's, Station Masters, Drivers or fireman around that time for a number of decades. As we visited Lucknow, we were also informed that one of our ancestors was caretaker of ''The Residence'' for a while. I could go on, but don't wish to be boring. As one can see, my connection to the place is large, and look forward to the next interesting video and even better to visit again. I wish everyone good health.

Worst thing that British have done to then Hindustaan is division in a hurry . The guy took just a few days to draw a line on map which separated 2 nations , without any planning , arrangements and agreements which caused deadly riots . It was worse than their 200 year rule .

I m from lucknow 😀

The sound in this video in a river scene is original or not. But the first talkie film alam ara made in 1937 why??

Does anyone know what year pith helmets & walking socks finally gave way to baseball caps & bum bags?

Sepoy Mutiny or a better description would be trying to expel the invading Colonial armies and regaining their own country.

I ove and Miss Lucknow .My Maternal home is Lucknow.

wow.. thanks for this precious video

Agar yeh couple aaj jinda honge to 125-130 age ke honge lekin shayad dukh ki bat hai ke etna kafi kam hi log jeete hai.
