Is it just me or the lady raised in the slums speaks better english than the businessman. Like she has better vocabulary and phrases her sentences cohesively.
Businessmen in indian context means someone who knows their way around the laws and red tape. Ethics and education can take a back seat when it comes to business success in india.
People trading Imaginary cash, minerals & precious metals online are making billions, yet the farmers who provide food & minerals for consumption make nothing. Welcome to Earth ❌
@@juandon870 When the world developed an economic system that could relatively easily end hunger, thirst, homelessness and disease tomorrow, a system that is unfortunately in the hands of a selfish few who find it profitable for themselves to create artificial scarcity and ration the majority's access to life's necessities.
Reporter portray a biased views against secularism. Though there are many instances where hindu as well muslim got into communal conflicts. But there several others places where we didn't listen that type of instances. In my district where both hindu and muslim population live, I didn't get to know about a single case about such communal riot, victims etc since my birth. No discrimination at all..all these communal riots happens when there is a political motive... Don't believe me just look at history of communal conflicts.
@@pankajthalor3890 This particular website goes to other countries and show only the BEST of their country. But, when it comes to India, these a-holes go into the negative side, go into slums, listen to radical left, commies, Jihadis. Basically, these guys are anti-India and anti-Hindu. The want to dismantle India into pieces. Be it agriculture issue, suicide of farmers, the issue is complicated. Farmers from Punjab are influenced by wrong forces. They do not want to cooperate. This is their agenda.
india can never get rid of its miserable caste system. The irony is that the richest indian billionaires are not doing anything about it cos they dont really give AF 🤣🤣🤣
White supr*macist and ch!nese v!rus can never get rid of r@scism what the reason behind proverty in africa ?? Caste?? and you chinese v!rus was poorer than india in 1990. What's the reason then
Caste system can be got rid by a slow and steady process .... How ? Bodily (physical) changes and Economical Changes will slowly but steadily phase out caste system in India. But is it feasible ? = Not so easy
Looks like the documentary is from 2007. The situation in 2021 has still not changed. The same amount of economic disparity still exists due to caste, religion as I see, if not more. One thing that the presenter did not touch is language and regional disparity.
@@youngz13o An ignorant and superficial way of looking at things!! There is NO OTHER country on earth that has the amount of ethnic, religious, linguistic diversity and yet functioning as an all-inclusive democracy!! Poverty exists in all countries including the US of A! The point is there is still scope of social mobility and things are a lot better than how it was decades back and still improving.
@@youngz13o Everything has to be seen in context! Considering the population of India (1.3 billion total with nearly 200+ million Muslims), the number of deaths in riots is micro minuscule!! The fact is, the vast majority of Muslims live peacefully and practice their faith without any hassle whatsoever!! This includes Muslims of all types (Shia, Sunni etc). On the contrary, even in the Muslim country of Pakistan, more Muslims die from Sunni Muslim radicals targetting Shia Muslims. In fact, all thru the Muslim world, the Shia and Sunni have problems co-existing!!
@@youngz13o Almost all politicians of power in India today are from lower castes! Even India's current Prime Minister is from a lower caste. His father was a poor tea-seller and he too sold Tea at the train station when he was young!!
Wow! 20 years on and the situation has worsened ! Unemployment, fundamentalism, poverty it's all worsened..We are not even the 2nd fastest growing economy now.
@@AjayTiwari-en9nz look up gdp growth rate before calling anyone an idiot. Bangladesh, as of 2021, has a higher gdp per capita than India does now. The pandemic shrunk the economy, but India lost 8% of its value, Pakistan 3% and Bangladesh actually GREW by 1%. So India isn't even the hope in South Asia
@@majnushetty5583 Bangladesh is a very small country compared to India also its GDP largely depends on its immigrant income from Arab countries. Not so charming anyway..
"We are not even the 2nd fastest growing economy now." Indis is STILL one of the fastest growing BIG economies! Normal economies have ups and downs in their economic growth cycle. Only countries like China always post a good GDP number. However, their statistics are as good as their products!

hung out in India throughout the nineties and made some good friends who were working then to secure a foothold in the Techworld of India they had great visions then for what was inevitably coming to India, massive progress.

Fascinating to see this big country grappling with all of the same kinds of problems and themes as many other countries do. I hope the young manage to purge the Caste system out. It's so restrictive and cruel.
Speaking as a North American, this inside look at India and its problems is distressing and reflects global tensions with religious/cultural values and identity as well as economic disparity. The very heart of the issue touches on the mistrust and anger that plagues Humanity in general. Gandhiji helped liberate India but India must find its moral and spiritual center again. My prayers go out to India and her people of whatever caste, creed or circumstance.
THANKS FOR YOUR EMPATHY. INDIA SHALL SOLVE ITS OWN MISERY WITHOUT CHRISTIANITY AND GANDHISM. PLEASE SOLVE APPALACHIAN AND NATIVE DISCRIMINATION AS WELL AS DOWNTOWN GHETTOS IN UK USA CANADA.MAYBE YHIS PINKO HOST HAS NOT SEEN ANY EVIDENCE???
@@Stbuster31 as if you had only filmed it in 2000? and are you coming to say that it has undergone a dramatic transformation for the better. Man! u seem to emerge right out of a comic book. it has transformed from bad to worse. Go and do your homework atleast properly
Size of economy means nothing...what is more important is ppp & quality of life.....India has a VERY LONG way to go - not to mention how unhygienic, backwards & primitive their medical system & corrupt their government is.
"unhygienic, backwards & primitive their medical system & corrupt their government is." Yet, it was China that has started 2 pandemics in the last 2 decades!! Oh yeah.. one more thing about India's medical system.. India was manufacturing COVID vaccines for itself and also supplying other countries when Canada was running from post to pillar for procuring COVID vaccine!
This level of injustices in the Indian society doesn't guarantee unending peace forever and ever, it's just a time bomb they are making for themselves which is growing bigger and bigger over the generations. Peace is not mere absence of war or conflict, it means much more than that. The greed for vanity has made society reach this far!!!!! Don't you think Federalism can be the answer for this situation?!??!?! It makes me remember of the redemption songs- Robert Nesta Marley.
The first time I went to China, a long time ago, people had a rural or urban identity card. That meant that rural people weren't allowed to move to cities and get better jobs, so there was mass, domestic illegal immigration. Then the Chinese government realised that Chinese farmland was better managed by larger collectives and the people were better occupied in manufacturing. I lived in Zhengzhou, next to the Foxconn factory, and it was pretty awful, so I'm in two minds. I'll let you know.
Well, here’s the thing; the rich gets richer and the poor is plentiful. How can you provide equality for over one billion people. A few million will be left behind. Thankfully, many more millions are overseas! NO FARMERS NO FOOD. POLITICIANS WILL REALIZE THIS WHEN THE POPULATION IS STARVING! Very informative documentary. Well done.
I would say in 2022 there is a lot of progress but still a long way to go before we could call India a real super power. Inequality of opportunities is a real thing which needs to be fixed. I am not sure about hindu nationalism, but i think gov. of India is doing well when it comes to welfarism. But what i can see is s slow but steady resilient progress. I still believe that democracy is the best and most resilient way to progress in long run. I think this game with China is not over yet. In long run, i still believe India will succeed.
It is sad what is happening around the world..everywhere you go it’s the same note about racism and my question is when is it gonna stop? Rather it is about religion or the color of your skin at the end of the day it does no matter as long as we love one another and help each other out but I guess that’s just hope talk!!
That's right but it won't end until everyone sees the same way. They say they feel sorry for the children and I say well then treat their parents with dignity and they'll stop killing themselves.
@@jaydawg3031 "Still the same" That is just your ignorance talking! Only dim wits go by other people say. One has to look at things like numbers and facts to ascertain what is going on.
@@jarjarbinks3193 numbers and facts also proves India is full of corruption and full of poverty... There's a reason why many Indians want to leave their country.
@@jaydawg3031 That just shows your ignorance! Indians migrate primarily for the same reason many Europeans migrated to new continents from the 17th to the early 20th century! In search of better livelihood as the competition for resources is very high in their country of birth!!
I just found out that Ganesha is the god of prosperity, so far I only knows that Ganesha is the god of education, therefore Ganesha is used as a symbol of the Bandung Institute of Technology, technical college no. 1 in Indonesia, located in Ganesha Street no.1, Bandung, Indonesia :D
How is it amazing? They are living in poverty and having a hard life and it somehow made you feel better that you are not living in such squalid conditions.
Can anyone tell me the name of the movie about mumbai slums where a labour painter died in a rich woman flat and then she spent all day looking for his home in mumbai slums. Brilliant movie!! I forget the name.
The renowned agricultarist, M.S. Swaminathan has an astute understanding of the Indian reality and its crazy economic policies followed by the government which is deliberately fine tuned to the interests of Corporates. India will soon be ruined if corrective steps are not initiated to support the farmers who account for more than half the population of India ; and providing food for the entire nation are left in the lurch. Thousand kudos to M.S.S.

George Bush? How old is this documentary? I admire them for speaking English, but wish it was closed captioned, as they are so hard to understand at times.
What i find odd is that when the government finally take some steps to help the farmers and change the laws in their favour, the same type of documentary makers then oppose the law changes.
Vandana Shiva is a spokes person for India organic food. Wild farmland feed animals and people with little to no intervention. Farmers would not be forced to rely on money for crops.
That seems to be the reason for doing anything are we better than the UK yet. The UK doesn't care and hardly anyone is watching except for nuts like me that can't sleep and will watch anything

Keep feeling happy with this old documentary of 2003. Meanwhile upto 2021 India built 13 Metro trains in 13 metro cities others are under construction, India has recently completed World's tallest Railway bridge, India is constructing megaprojects of Highways, Bullet trains in between major metro cities. IMF projects India's GDP 12.5% Largest compare to whole Global nations...
@@pauljohn3230 270 millions Indians come out poverty...meanwhile in USA some psycho killed 100s of people in Mall, galleria and crowded streets of New york.
Very good progress in the name of forced eviction, forced buying of land, high amount of death and suicide that the government doesn't care about. Oh how many politicians have been killed because of Indias progress? The problem with India is, people's life is meaningless aslong as the government is happy.
It is highly embarrassing to see cast system is still in place in India. We all are humans, no one is higher or lower. There will never be a revolution in India. This is 20th century, the whole globe is moving on while India is still stuck in way.🙁
100,000 farmers took their lives in a 10 year period......that's awful and the government and rich are to blame. This is wrong on many different levels
Except unlike Black Americans, Muslims or hell even the lower caste of India are still be discriminated against on a massive scale, personally and systemically.
I have lived 10 years in India... First, you do have to understand the people. And if you do so, you will never find such huge variety of people anywhere in the world... For instance, Varanasi is the living hell and the living paradise... Varansi is awful and so beautiful... Never you will find such polarity anywhere in the world... I thought I knew India and I went to Rishikesh and saw naked bosom of beautiful Indian women bathing in the Ganges... And I asked WHY... That is a group of Indian Pilgrims and their custom is so ... Everywhere else in India is this forbidden...
One family lives in a 400,000 SFT home, and it is worth 2 BILLION DOLLARS. It has 27 floors, and 600 staffers to maintain it. It is not the only one, and there are others. They could have built one for one billion, and used the other billion to help the poor. How could you sleep at night? The richest man there is worth 83 BILLION DOLLARS, and he is not the only one. Keep 43 billions for yourself, and build houses with 40 billions. The country needs clinics, schools, and houses. Farmers are so desperate that they are committing suicide, so their families can collect the few dollars in insurance and they won't have to starve. The planet has enough to support all of us, but people are greedy and selfish. The Billionaires there also own properties in Dubai, Europe, and America.
