Arrival of Monsoon in india is a blessing but a curse to Himalayan states in terms of landslides,flashfloods etc.,but also a blessing bcoz we depend on monsoon season for every aspects of life...
An absolutely fascinating documentary both from a human perspective as well as the economic one. I was under the impression that the whole of India was rained on during the monsoon season.
@@alani3992 The North-East 💚 region receives d most rainfall leading 2 deadly floods/landslides but also makes that unique/diverse mountainous region d most lush/beautiful in India. In fact d state of Meghalaya in NE, particularly Mawsynram & Cherrapunji get record amounts of daily/yearly rains & known as d wettest/rainiest place on earth!
I was born in the south western state of Kerala in the city of Cochin, my mom is from the city of Alleppey. I spent most of my life in Miami, FL and because of this I never realized the beauty of the Indian monsoon… I now live in Seattle, WA and dearly miss the torrential tropical rains and storms both Florida and southwest India have to offer. I can’t wait to return to Kerala (Quilon) and enjoy a warm cup of Indian cardamom tea, listening to the sounds of rain and thunder, falling asleep in the process. A peace and calm that can’t be done justice through words!
The answer to the question would entail state secrets. The Indian economy is heavily reliant on this information. This is why the director only answered "yes" and the man prior refused any answer other than saying to ask the director; stating "if I say anything it could cause problems."
I found my tribe here! I was looking for this comment. It really annoyed me and I too hope he has more to contribute but I doubt it. This is our world where those with knowledge are controlled and gagged. It makes me so sad.
The Indian monsoons have always been a fascination of mine. I had a friend a long time ago in Kerala name Elson, and from this video, I see why he called the monsoons "sexy". I always thought it was strange he used that word to describe a monsoon, but I see the justice of it all, now. Monsoon is the time for love and celebration of the renewed life.
It's not only sexy but brings very blissful feeling with all plants bathed and looks even more beautiful, pleasant @ night it has a most beautiful natural cosmic music for sleep comfort.
In north India himachal.. in summers here monsoon comes if monsoon is week then western disturbance comes ... in north India himachal we experience rain in. Through year .. and in winter we experience snow here
Same !! Here in North East India, the local winds of KAAL BAISAKHI acts as message carriers for the arrival of the king , the Monsoons, and it continues till September. During the return of the monsoons, in the October. We get even more rain ! And how can I forget about the cold wet season! It rains here even in the January.❤❤❤ Take love ❤❤
Why not dig many large tunnels thru the mountains to take some of the monsoon waters from the side which experiences flooding to the other side which experiences drought? The sides of the mountains on the rainy side could be terraced to direct the water descending from the mountains to the inlet of such tunnels. And, if the inlets on the rainy side are sufficiently higher than the outlets on the dry side, the force of the water through the sloped tunnels could generate electricity. Such a project, properly done, could ease flooding on the windward side of the mountains and the massive amounts of water stored in a network of giant canals on the leeward side could increase agriculture and aquaculture and ease droughts. Heaven on earth.That should be quick and easy to do using some of the billion+ Indians, don't you think? Cheers and all the very best.🙃😉
Many rivers do flow towards the eastern plains from the western Ghats; some rivers also flow along west coast - these are of immense value to the ecology. Even railways and high ways have to get the environmental clearance.
You have to see in monsoon the sun activity on the ocean of evaporation then after accumulation reversion trough rainfalls , water is life but the sun is it source .
Very interesting documentary, and many themes emerged. It's nice to see that religion isn't a matter of separation at least in some places, and that the act of killing animals (probably for survival in this situation) can at least bring people together. In other cases, it's sad to see a cobra being killed, although I don't know what choice these people have. And at the very end, the mention of rhynos, it just makes me think how sad it is for animals, to be running not only from nature (which is neutral in itself), but from humans (which aren't neutral at all). I find rain fascinating, but I can't help but notice how inequalities made by humans are worsened by climate conditions. Anyway, nice one!
Nature neutral? IDTS it's survival of the most fit, eat or be eaten, run or stand and fight. Nature can never be neutral or static no matter how small or large the gain, nature is always moving and Beautiful beyond our comprehension. God Is Real. Jesus lives and loves you
@@childoftruth1738 I meant neutral in the sense of intention and purpose. Nature doesn't want anyone killed, it simply is what it is. If in a rainy day a mountain collapses and kill animals and people who were passing by, it's not nature's "fault". Now humans, they really want to kill and destroy things in all kinds of ways, for all kinds of purposes. Like in the video, hunting rhynos.
What happens if/when a nation with over 1 billion people goes through a 5 to 10 years severe drought? You can bet that nation would be looking to other countries to meet their needs - in whatever means possible.
33:54 Really? Not every Hindi film has a woman wearing a sari, let alone having a wet sari scene. Really wish people would stop making such sweeping statements. It might seem like a petty matter but that’s just the kind of generalization that generates stereotypes. And in extreme cases people have lost their lives - a Sikh man was killed in the USA, following 9/11 because some ignorant person thought he was a Taliban.
Floods are great trash movers? Maybe they should take advantage and try to keep it clean afterwards ? Also the hygiene in food preparation use be addressed. Food poisoning is rife among no residence. Even some citizens get food poisoning.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
I am from Pakistan,i am fascinated whith your country of india,your culture is very rich and beautiful,and is very diverse,and your food looks really tasty,hope to visit India one day
@@HearsH96But they are Pakistani now with a unique and beautiful culture that deserves equal respect and appreciation. And that’s what matters over your comment.
I’m part Indian and was born in Kerala where my mom is from. I befriended a Pakistani from Islamabad who attended my school in Florida. We became good friends; my mom did not like the fact that I was friends with someone from Pakistan, but after she learned that he taught me how to cook not just Pakistani cuisine, but also Indian food, she changed her opinion. The whole Pakistan-India conflict is beyond me, it’s like two siblings having an argument for no good reason. One of my favorite quotes from One Love Manchester should apply here; “Don’t move forward in anger, love spreads.”
At least they know what monsoon times is but for us in Philippines weather had changed. Rainy season is supposed to be from last week of May till October but it just rain anytime so farmers are confused for their crops and continous to date.
22:40 CHRISTIAN HINDU MUSLIMS LIVE TOGETHER BECAUSE IT IS KERALA STATE WHICH RUN BY COMMUNISTS PARTY.BUT REST OF INDIA GOVERNED BY RSS HINDU GOVT .AND THIER IS TOO MANY GENOCIDE OF MUSLIMS CHRISTIAN MUSLIMS AND MINORTIES BY HINDU REGIME 😮😮😮
Hy Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 what a nice story about rain 🌧️ 😊 I lv the Rain here I say it cleans the streets. From people spitting animals peeing and pooping it cleans all those germs so I love the rain and I see your country loves the rain. God bless you all. I hope it rains every year for you. Amen.❤😅😊
While the monsoon poses serious threats to life and possessions, storage of this water in lakes for later use in agriculture and power generation should be explored by the governments of countries affected.
@35:36: "why Monsoon and love why is Monsoon and love" for the same reason we love rainstorms, snowstorms and wild weather. Take a "time trip" back to the days when we were hunter/gatherers. What did we do during that time when bad weather came. Since we couldn't hunt, fish or farm we socialized with other. And one thing led to another. We discovered each other and love. Those fond memories are a permanent part of our Karma and come to life when we are reborn.
I live in Canada now but as a young lad growing up in Calcutta in 60s we loved having rain baths when the monsoons came. It even helped with the annoying 'prickly heat.'
Monsoon is the only way for India land to get water whether for agriculture or drink, therefore India land must have lots of vegetation to retain the water during monsoon season, if not drought will happpen in large scale in India, I heard it from Sadhguru, the Indian Yogi who started the Cauvery Calling to save the Indian soil and river !!!
This narrator keeps mispronouncing Kerala. You would think the man would have been instructed or would know how to pronounce the name of the state he is documenting. It's terrible he doesn't pronounce the name correctly. 😮😢😢
When the monsoon arrives, it stirs up the human activity into a frenzy; it is time to sow and pray to Gods for good crops like we have done over the millennia. The smells, the joy, spring to our steps - monsoon is the emotion of India. You can't describe it, but you can only experience it.
India is a superpower. Can't they build pipes to catch and send some water over or through the mountains to the dryer region? USA takes water from far away and sends to dryer states.
Yes, its the Pledge - there is a line in it as follows: "All Indians are my brothers and sisters" after which most of us would silently say 'except one' :-)
When Saudi Arabia was hit by storm, many mocked and laughed, where's your Allah? Others, it's cause you don't accept Jesus as your god and saviour,...I guess all non Muslim countries are lucky ,they don't get rain,storm,blizzards d,earth quake,tornadoes,hurricanes...etc.
