51 Technology stops food waste in India [HD]

 

16 nov. 2015

India has committed itself to fighting hunger at home and worldwide. Anambitious goal, but quite realistic. India is extremely fertile, usually two, sometimes even four harvests per year can be made. The biggest problem is the enormous food waste: 40 % of food is wasted as it goes from farms to tables. To ensure success India makes a firm commitment to innovative food processing and packaging technologies. The year 2011 is expected to mark a turning point: India has decided to set up 30 new high-tech mega-food-parks to fight hunger worldwide.

Première: Thursday 26th March 2015
Presenter: @deric_hartigan

The documentary is a raw and real reflection of modern day life in Kolkata, India.

Throughout this ‘Journey Of Hope’, Limerickman Deric Hartigan comes face-to-face with the harsh reality of slum life in the city, meets the children who have been recused from a life of destitution, talks to those on the ground who work tirelessly to make it happen and visits the projects directly funded by the Irish people. Shocking and inspiring, this gripping documentary will expose the underbelly of a city and a culture where you have to fight to survive.

CHILDREN ARE LIVING IN HELL

53 Men of Burden – Acclaimed Documentary Film on Cycle Rickshaws in Pondicherry, India

Back to menu

4 aug. 2014

“Men of Burden: Pedaling towards a Horizon” is an Internationally-acclaimed 2006 documentary film set in the city of Pondicherry(now Puducherry), India. The documentary uncovers the story of disappearing cycle rickshaw drivers living in abject poverty. Over time, the city has experienced a gradual reduction in the number of cycle rickshaws. thereby diminishing the chances of living for those who depend on them. What used to be one of the primary modes of transport in the city is now a fading memory with the few remaining ones staging a difficult survival. The film explores some of the ethical dimensions of man pulling man against the background of the increasingly menacing effects of motorised transport and air pollution. It also takes the viewer through the rickshaw men’s journey of hope on the roads that have fostered them.
Representing one facet of India’s population below poverty line, these unflagging men perpetually struggle to eat one satisfying meal a day. What is remarkable is the essence of some who believe in making a difference in an apparently hopeless livelihood. While India’s big cities are racing towards Globalization and technology, these rickshaw men, against all odds, remain appreciative of their modest lives by believing in the power of now meaning earn for their everyday meal and live a contented life and not worry about any saving or about future.
Portraying the immediacy and desolation of the situation the film highlights a catalytic change revolutionizing India’s economic and social future from the grass roots level. Juxtaposing the way of life of these men with definitive solutions, the film answers the question of how these changes can trickle down to the roots of India’s soil.

The film had its world premiere at the Los Angeles Indian Film Festival, European Premiere at the Filmburo Baden-Wurttemberg’s Bollywood and Beyond Film Festival and its NYC Premiere at the Sixth Annual Indo-American Arts Council Film Festival.

14 sep. 2010

“The Test of Poverty” follows two women living in extreme poverty in West Bengal, India, as they participate in Trickle Up’s program and work to change the effects that generations of poverty have had on their families’ lives. The film shows that addressing the needs of the ultra-poor -those living on less than $1.25 day- involves more than just providing them with capital, and must be viewed through a wider lens. The film also captures the powerful effects that increased self‐confidence and empowerment that come from participating in Trickle Up’s program have in helping women break the vicious cycle of extreme poverty.



“The Test of Poverty” was directed by Gautam Bose and produced with support from the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP), which is spearheading a global effort to understand how safety nets, livelihoods, and microfinance can be sequenced to create pathways for the poorest to graduate out of extreme poverty. 


“The Test of Poverty” shows how Trickle Up helps the ultra-poor holistically and with lasting results.

This short film, narrated by Mark Tully, shows a glimpse of what life is like for one family living in the slum of Kamla Nehru Nagar (Bihar, central India).

Slum-dwellers are vulnerable. With no permanent roof over their heads, little prospect of a secure job and poor access to basic sanitation, bad health and social exclusion is rife. Children can become easy victims of crime, prostitution and child labour.

This video shows how preventable diseases take a huge toll on slum-dwelling families.

India is an enormous and diverse destination. Bordered by seven different countries, not to mention the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, means that there are many different sides to the country. More than 20 official languages, multiple religions and a variety of cuisines exist within India’s borders. To truly experience the breadth of Indian culture and history, travel is key. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in India:

63 Walking in Kolkata ( Calcutta)

27 okt. 2014

Kolkata known historically in English as Calcutta is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal. Located on the east bank of the Hooghly river, it is the principal commercial, cultural, and educational centre of East India, while the Port of Kolkata is India’s oldest operating port as well as its sole major riverine port. As of 2011, the city had 4.5 million residents; the urban agglomeration, which comprises the city and its suburbs, was home to approximately 14.1 million, making it the third-most populous metropolitan area in India.

64 Market Mayhem in Kolkata, India. 🇮🇳

17 jul. 2020

After spending a few hours relaxing in my luxury hotel I ventured out onto the streets. It was a stark contrast, leaving the spacious lobby where soothing piano music filled the air to be confronted with crowds of people and the loud and never ending “BEEP, BEEP, BEEP” of the traffic.

The Oberoi Grand is in the New Market area of Kolkata, where the streets are lined with vendors who have no shortage of potential customers. The area is very popular and it’s obvious why. The level of competition that exists there drives the price of goods to bargain levels.

Knockoff clothes are sold openly, even in front of the actual legit shops that sell that brand. Even those big brand shops are selling their wares at a deep discount as they are forced to compete with vendors selling fake versions right on their doorstep.

I had my bagged my first bargain at a juice shop. There were three juice shops that looked almost identical right next to each other. That sounds like a recipe for some good prices to me. A pint glass of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice was only 50 rupees and the vendor topped me up with an extra half a glass for free. Compare that to the video I made in Dubai where I paid over 500 rupees for about half the volume of the same drink. Just a 20 X value difference!!!!

I explored further, avoiding the local scammers and touts and found a Pani Puri stall. It looked like this was going to be a street food vlog. I actually had no idea what this video was going to be about when I made it but I just pressed record and decided to figure it out on the fly. I wandered back into the market streets and then decided it would be more of a market spree video than a food one.

A 350 pair of knockoff Puma shorts and a 200 knockoff Nike t-shirt later and yer man was happy but further bargains and delicious food were still to come his way.

I have one more video from Kolkata that I’ll be making public before the end of the month. It’s an hour long and full of fun and adventure.

65 Exploring Kolkata with EVERY Form of Transport. 🇮🇳

Back to menu

27 jul. 2020

My mission was to explore Kolkata using as many different forms of transport as I could.

Kolkata is famous for its yellow taxis and colonial era trams. Hard working men transport people through the streets in bicycle or manual powered rickshaws. Not everywhere in India has these things so I felt like to get a real feel for Kolkata I must experience them.

I started with the Metro as their was a station near my hotel in the New Market area. It was less modern and more busy than the metro system in Chennai but still very nice, fast and cheap.

I wanted to explore a little of each area after taking each form of transport. I didn’t really have a plan where I was going though, I just worked the itinerary out on the fly.

I exited the metro at a green area on Google Maps so I assumed it would be a nice park to walk around. A correct assumption but that nice park, Elliott Park, hadn’t opened yet so I walked down to the next green area which I found was a massive field massively covered in litter.

It was actually pretty shocking. Not something I expected to see in the centre of a major international city. It could probably be cleaned up by a team in just one day so I’ve no idea why it isn’t. Kolkata people pay taxes, right? So I wonder why the local government don’t just employ some cheap labour to keep the area nice.

When Elliott Park opened at 1 pm it was like entering a different world. Perfectly manicured grass and trees, flowers everywhere, a lake. It was lovely and free to enter. The sign outside said it’s maintained by the Ministry of Defense so it seems they spend more on maintaining the park than the local government do on the rest of the area.

I walked a full loop of Elliott Park then jumped on a random bus. A friendly local helped me communicate with the bus conductor and I just jumped off at the traffic lights before the next stop. That counts as a bus ride, right?

I found a fairly quiet road that had street vendors. One man sorted me out with a lovely fresh sugar cane juice and another cleaned my shoes. These enterprising vendors are something I love about India. They provide real value to people with the services they provide.

With a clean pair of shoes I wanted to get off the streets and into one of the old style yellow cabs. They have written on them “no refusal”, which is a lie. They also have meters, which they don’t use, as I learned the hard way. Fortunately two friendly guys and helped me resolve the situation though and I only get cheated a little bit rather than a lot.

The cab was supposed to take me to another park. He was too lazy to do the U-turn though, so I had to cross the road and walk up the street only to find that the park was closed. It seems that these small parks in Kolkata all have certain times that they are open. The rest of the time they’re probably being maintained.

I still hadn’t seen a single tram in Kolkata since I arrived in the city. With some google research I found the nearest area would be Park Circus and I was walking that way when I saw a cycle rickshaw headed in the same direction. I obviously took that golden opportunity.

The mall I arrived at was a welcome sight as I was bursting. I went in to use the lavvy and ended with a mutton biriyani. Very nice. I like the food courts in Indian malls. The food is way more expensive than the local joints but the hygiene standards are high and you can eat in air conditioned comfort.

I did find the tram after leaving the mall and was lucky to get a carriage all to myself. The tram is very old, classic style with open windows you can stick your head out of. If I had more time I would have done the full loop of the track. A ticket is only 6 rupees ($0.08) so you can’t get much better value than that as a tourist for a fun and authentic experience in Kolkata.

My last form of transport was the manual rickshaw where I was able to give my strong legs a rest and let someone else’s strong legs transport me through the city. It’s a nice leisurely way to travel as you are elevated and have time to look around and take everything in. I’d love to spend all day being transported in one of those but it’s probably not possible. I guess they are used for short distances unless the drivers (?) have ultra-marathon athlete-like endurance.

66 – ₹10,000 LUXURY HOTEL in Kolkata, India. 🇮🇳

 

Back to menu

7 jul. 2020

I flew all the way from Kerala to Kolkata to conclude my India trip and end it with a bang by staying in a 5 star hotel.

I chose to stay at the Oberoi Grand hotel due to its prime location. As I was bedridden in Kerala for days with flu I had time to do a bit of research on Kolkata. I explored the city with Google Maps to find the general area that I’d want to stay and from there tried to decide which was the best hotel in that area.

Every time I say anything negative at all about a hotel in my videos I get a dozen comments saying “Why didn’t you do research before you booked?” or “If you wanted luxury, you should have stayed in a 5 star hotel!!!!!”

Well, you bunch of self righteous nincompoops, you’ll be glad to know that I checked on TripAdvisor and this 5-star hotel’s rank based on traveler reviews is 6 out of 529 hotels, with a 5/5 average rating from 2,800 reviews.

Happy now? Well maybe you won’t be because I still managed to have at least one thing to complain about. Nowhere is perfect. However I spent 3 nights in the hotel and overall had an excellent experience.

The bed was as comfortable as it could be and I enjoyed 3 nights of perfect sleep that were followed by delicious breakfast feasts. The buffet selection was a little bit on the small side relative to the size of the hotel but it really was a case of quality over quantity.

The hotel is a heritage property so there are some pros and cons that go with that. It’s an obvious cliche but I have to say that “they don’t make ’em like that anymore.” If a hotel was built in 2020 it would be very different to one that was designed and built over 100 years ago. You have the chance to live inside a piece of history.

The downside to that is that they’re not allowed to make any major changes to the building. Having a small en-suite bathroom may have been considered a luxury in the early 1900’s but nowadays guests come to expect one of a decent size in a top hotel.

I paid ₹10,000 rupees per night (£104 GBP / $132 USD) for my room, which is actually pretty good value for staying in one of the best hotels in the center of a major city, with breakfast included.

There were balcony rooms available that look over the pool / courtyard area. It would have been nice to wake up to that view but they were around 15,000 per night, 50% more expensive. I couldn’t justify paying 5,000 a night extra just for the luxury of a small balcony.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Oberoi. The 5/5 rating it has earned on the review sites is deserved. What I liked most was how good the staff were. Everyone from the receptionist, to the housekeeper, to the pool boy, to the waiters, to the chefs showed the highest level of hospitality even when they were under the stress of being extremely busy.

The hotel has a policy of not encouraging the handing of tips to individual members of staff. This is perfect as it takes away a lot of awkward situations. Sometimes when staying in a low or medium standard hotel you don’t know if the staff member is going out of their way to help you because they’re expecting a tip in return or they’re just genuinely showing you good hospitality.

In this hotel their policy was, if you felt that you wanted to, you could put some money in an envelope and leave it in a box at reception to be shared by all the hotel’s staff. I left 3,000 which is 10% of what I paid for the 3 nights. It seemed appropriate to me. Maybe some Americans are reading this and are fuming “Tips should be 25% minimum!!!!” and maybe some other nationalities are reading this thinking that I was generous.

The point is I didn’t have to worry about what anyone though of the amount I tipped or the fact that I did or didn’t tip at all. Nobody saw how much I put in the envelope and nobody saw me put the envelope in the box. I just did what I thought was appropriate and gave it no further thought, until right now when I’m writing about it. 🙂

I only made another 2 videos in Kolkata. I had planned to use the last day to film 3 separate vlog ideas but it rained hard from morning until evening so I had to write them off or at least postpone them until my next trip to Kolkata. I guess that will be sometime in 2021 at the very earliest.

On the plus side, I think the 2 videos that I did make were awesome so let’s just pretend that I went for quality over quantity. 😉

Oprah visits different types of households in India
 
Rai Radio
After 1000 years of series of invasions and colonial rule, India today is a post apocalyptic India. Like an abused person finds it hard to bounce back to a disciplined quality life, something similar has happened to the soul of India. We are just going through the motions not really caring anymore. Ancient Indian temples were built with earthquake proof materials and dessings or a rock cut temple made out of single rock. Modern builders cant even make a straight road that doesnt break down in rains. If anyone wants to know what India was, watch Praveen Mohan’s videos on youtube.

72 Inside Mumbai’s BIGGEST Slum Dharavi and the Industries within


Back to menu

22 nov. 2018

Inside Mumbai’s Mohammad and Mohsin take me on an in-depth tour of Dharavi slums and the micro industries thriving within. Dharavi is the largest slum in Mumbai and the second largest in Asia (after Orangi Town in Pakistan). It is estimated that one million people live in Dharavi, which spans just 535 acres, has a population density of an incredible 869,565 people per square mile. There are approximately 5,000 businesses and 15,000 single-room factories in Dharavi. The slum is the most literate in the country, with a literacy rate of 69%.

The metropolitan area of Mumbai has experienced an explosion in growth over the past 20 years…doubling since 1991.

This growth is attributed to migration from other regions in the country, with migrants seeking business and employment opportunities.

The rapid expansion has led to serious health issues that have to be addressed by the government, and a large percentage of residents live in the city’s slums.

The percentage of people living in slums is estimated to be as high as 41.3% in Greater Mumbai, meaning that over 9 million people live in these areas.

Thank you Mohammad and Mohsin of www.insidemumbaitours.com

A little bit about my channel…
I mainly focus on creating videos about my travel to Cambodia and the Khmer life in the US. My goal is to document different Cambodian communities around the world. When I’m not traveling, I like to make vlogs about my daily life, which include enjoying good food with friends and family. I do have a background in tech so occasionally I’ll review the gear that I’m using to make these videos.

A little about myself…
I came to the US with my father and mother at the age of 1, in the midst of the Khmer Rouge genocide. I lived for almost 40 years without ever returning to Cambodia. It was only recently that I made my first trip back to my homeland and since then, it has been my goal to learn about Cambodia’s rich history, religion and document life of Cambodian people living there. In between my trips, I try to visit the different Khmer communities all over the US to see the differences and similarities between them. Please, I do apologize that my Cambodia language skills aren’t the greatest, but I am trying to relearn!

82 Mumbai Sleeping Documentary

15 sep. 2019

Mumbai is India’s most affluent city and one of the most densest populated metropolises in the world. Each day thousands flock to its shores in search of the urban dream and end up sleeping on the streets.
 
I believe that these images are a testament to the resilience of the urban human spirit while they reveal more about our own fickle fragilities as those who need a quiet and soft clean bed to sleep on.
 
This is a film which I created to de-romanticise my Mumbai Sleeping photography collection which has been exhibited at galleries in Europe, North America and Asia.

83 India: Exploring Delhi | DW Documentary

22 feb. 2018

India’s big cities are famous for their lively hustle and bustle. A documentary exploring beauty, justice, health and beer in India’s capital territory, Delhi.
 
Delhi has a population of almost twenty million, and to film-maker Markus Spieker it sometimes seems as if Delhi has twice as many stories to tell: stories ranging from the traditional to the modern, from happiness to misery. He takes the viewer into the heart of the Old Town and into the modern Cyberhub, into malodorous canteens and exclusive restaurants.
 
India is a country with incredible stories and huge contrasts. Metropolises like Delhi are growing at a tremendous rate. No matter how well you know the area, there is always something new to discover. As well as street cafés and exclusive restaurants, this documentary visits India’s biggest hospital and the practices of plastic surgeons, the “Kingdom of Dreams” and gloomy ghettos. We meet star chefs and street cooks who compete to see who can bake the best pita bread. We encounter cult dancers, hard rock fans of a different kind, and the world record holder in holding world records. This is a documentary film for those who like to marvel, smile, and enjoy.

84 India: Under Lockdown | 101 East

28 mei 2020

Social distancing and good hygiene are essential weapons in the fight against COVID-19.

But how can you maintain social distancing in one of the world’s largest slums? How can you wash your hands regularly when there is no running water? And what happens when millions of people who survive on meagre wages are suddenly without work and struggling to feed themselves?

In India, 1.3 billion people were confined to their homes with just four hours’ notice as the country embarked on the world’s biggest lockdown.

Tens of millions of migrant workers suddenly found themselves jobless, quickly running out of money and food, and unable to return to their villages across India.

Ibrahim Mohammed worked as a rickshaw puller in New Delhi, but now he cannot leave the slum where he lives with his wife and four children.

“Ever since the lockdown was announced, we are dying of hunger,” he says. “Now they say there is a sickness in the air. We may get sick, but before that, we will die of hunger.”

Construction worker, Bhikhari Yadav, says he can no longer send money home to his wife and children in the eastern state of Bihar. He says migrant workers feel abandoned.

“We have made this country the way it is,” he says. “But right now, the poor man is being kicked in the stomach.”

101 East investigates India under lockdown.

101 East travels to India to meet Indians from all walks of life working together to end violence against women.

86 BBC’s Great Indian Railway Journeys “Lucknow to Kolkata” S01E04

In première gegaan op 24 sep. 2020

This Will Enable me to Optimize my Creative Production to Showcase Journeys of Various Forms of Life.

On an epic railway journey from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh to Kolkata in West Bengal, Michael Portillo uses his Bradshaw’s 1913 Handbook of Indian, Foreign and Colonial Travel, published when the British Raj was 55 years old, to chart a course through India’s history from the days of The East India Company to the dawn of independence.

In Lucknow, Michael tastes the famous local kebabs before seeking the truth about 1857 Siege of Lucknow, a key moment in the rebellion which precipitated the end of The East India Company’s grip on India and the start of direct British rule. After a classical kathak dance class, Michael boards the sleeper train towards Ghazipur, on the banks of the Ganges. Taking to the sacred waters by boat, he hears the murky story of The East India Company’s opium monopoly, then visits a modern-day opium factory making pharmaceuticals.

Following the 1907-built Grand Chord Railway, Portillo stops off at Bodh Gaya, where he meditates on its Buddhist heritage. Further up the line is Chitteranjan locomotive works, and an extraordinary 980-metre-long locomotive workshop. In Kolkata, established as the capital of British India in the days of The East India Company, Michael battles the crowds at India’s busiest station and glimpses colonial Calcutta in the grand Great Eastern Hotel. A Kolkata tram carries him to the former home of pro-independence poet Rabindranath Tagore, the ‘Bard of Bengal’ and the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. Finally, Michael takes up the thread of India’s long journey towards nationhood at a traditional textile workshop. He hears how a boycott of British cloth inspired Mahatma Gandhi and joins a fashion shoot to see how India’s home-grown textiles are celebrated today.

This Will Enable me to Optimize my Creative Production to Showcase Journeys of Various Forms of Life.

Bradshaw’s 1913 Handbook of Indian, Foreign and Colonial Travel in hand, Michael embarks on a stunning rail journey from the Thar Desert in Rajasthan to the Indian capital, taking in desert landscapes and dazzling historic palaces.

From Jodhpur, Michael strikes out into the desert, taking a camel ride to a village where life has changed little in centuries, before embarking on the Jaipur-Agra-Delhi ‘Golden Triangle’ tour – India’s must-do itinerary in 1913 as today. In Jaipur, Michael enjoys a gin and tonic in a lavish former palace before learning about the close ties between the rajahs of Jaipur and British royalty. He takes a polo masterclass from a maharaja and enjoys a shower with a difference, courtesy of an elephant.

Continuing east, Michael breaks his journey in drought-prone Bandikui, where he marvels at the extraordinary architecture of one of India’s largest and deepest step wells. In Agra, Michael first glimpses the Taj Mahal from a luxurious hotel room with a view. Heading for a closer look, he learns how this romantic monument built by a Mughal emperor was restored by a British viceroy at the time of his Bradshaw’s guide book. Having pre-ordered an on-train lunch using a mobile app, Michael joins the crowds in ‘unreserved class’ en route to Delhi, where he samples street food in Chandni Chowk before boarding the sparkling new metro towards New Delhi.

Journey’s end is at New Delhi, built to house the rulers of the Raj after the capital moved from Calcutta in 1911 and designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens. But even as the crowds cheered King George V at the Delhi Durbar held the same year, anti-British sentiment was growing and soon after New Delhi was complete, India was granted independence.

90 BBC’s Great Indian Railway Journeys ” Amritsar to Shimla” S01E01

Back to menu

4 sep. 2020

This Will Enable me to Optimize my Creative Production to Showcase Journeys of Various Forms of Life.

Guided by his Bradshaw’s 1913 Handbook of Indian, Foreign and Colonial Travel, Michael Portillo travels across India. He embarks on a classic rail journey from Amritsar to Shimla. Along the way, he helps to feed the thousands at the world’s largest free kitchen and travels the railway routes used by millions of migrants partition. He gives his trademark colourful wardrobe an Indian twist and reaches the foothills of the Himalayas, where the epic Kalka to Shimla hill railway carries him to the former summer seat of the British rulers of the Raj.

Published when the British Raj was at its height, Michael’s guide leads him to some of the key locations in India’s 20th-century story, from the massacre in Amritsar in 1919 to the bloody events of partition.

Beginning in the Sikh holy city, Michael is dazzled by the beauty of the Golden Temple and awed by the scale of its langar – the world’s largest free kitchen.

His route then takes him through the Punjab, India’s breadbasket. Michael samples traditional chapattis, has a colourful kurta made up in one of the Punjab’s biggest cloth markets, and can’t resist the foot-tapping rhythms of Punjabi bhangra dancing, made famous by Bollywood. Portillo’s journey also reveals surprises. He uncovers a pioneering women’s medical college in Ludhiana, before plunging into Chandigarh, designed by Le Corbusier as a modernist expression of India’s post-independence future.

At Kalka, Michael glimpses the Himalayas for the first time and joins the 1906-built mountain railway for a stunning climb to Shimla. There, he relives the days when the creme de la creme of expatriate society went to socialise and rule – their exploits recorded by a young Rudyard Kipling.

91 Life as an “Untouchable” in India

21 dec. 2020

In September 2020, 4 upper caste Thakur men allegedly brutally gang-raped and attacked a 19-year-old Dalit woman in India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh. She died because of it and the police hurriedly cremated her without the consent of the family. This tragedy led to India actually being forced to deal with its caste problem. In this documentary, we look at the intersection of caste, gender and violence specifically against Dalit women in India.

8 mrt. 2017

Indian MP Shashi Tharoor talks to Jon Snow on Channel 4 News about British colonial misdeeds and their echoes today. Subscribe for more identity politics: bit.ly/LtASif. 
 
‘Britain destroyed India through looting, expropriation – and outright theft – all conducted in a spirit of deep racism and amoral cynicism.’ One man’s blistering critique of our colonialist past by one of the world’s leading diplomats. Shashi Tharoor, now an Indian MP, has just published his latest book on the iniquities of the British Empire. And its themes have echoes today.

Wow, Tharoor is so articulate and knowledgeable. And he is totally correct; we are not raised and educated to be aware of our criminal history. Churchill is revered as one of the best British prime ministers. Also why must most Sky reporters and many others, interrupt and conduct themselves in such a rude, patronising way

During British rule, there were widespread famines in 1769, 1782, 1791, 1837, 1860, 1865, 1868, 1873, 1876, 1888, 1896, 1899, 1905, and 1943. An estimated 55 to 60 million Indians died in these famines. If mass murder were a sport, this would be a bigger score than Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot put together.

If the Britishers even had an iota of shame they would have disowned Churchill, instead he is deeply revered. My father lost his two brothers and his father in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, he was just 3. I had expectations from Cameron when he visited the site to pay homage to the victims that he would tender an apology, but he didn’t disappoint being a slave to the throne he is fulfilling his masters commands. I agree the that the present generation of brits don’t owe us any apology, but to dismiss the atrocities of the empire and not even including it in the history books is pure evil. This is why of late Indians are insensitive to the terror attacks taking place in UK, they feel brits had it coming to them

On 26 January 1950, Éamon de Valera was asked to be guest of honour at a reception in Birmingham to celebrate the declaration of India as a republic. At first glance it seemed an unusual choice. The organisers were asked why they had not chosen a fellow Indian. Their response was unequivocal: ‘We and the Irish had strong ties of friendship. We suffered under the same tyranny for many centuries. They had the Black and Tans; we had the massacre of Amritsar. They had de Valera and Casement and MacSwiney; we had Gandhi and Nehru and Bose. They had Sinn Féin; we had our National Congress. They had the IRA; we had the INA. It is not only for the smile and the shamrock we know Ireland. It is for the toughness of their leaders and for the rebellion in their hearts.’ Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇳

Divide and rule policy is what british did to India. British tried to break India in princely states and divide India on the basis of religion. They were partly successful to do that but soon Indians realised that they should stick together in order to fight against britishers. So dont take the credit for unification. Indians united because of your attrocities and second class treatment on their own land.

Ehmmm…. I support the fact that I’m not responsible for what Churchill and the Brits of that time did to India but the host appears to be defending said colonialism. That stuns me. Acknowledgments of the wrongs inflicted upon India are essential! Even if the innumerable concept of reparations aren’t acted upon, at the very least apologies are to be made and lasting partnerships in good faith maintained. Just acknowledge it. That’s a good start, denial and justification are unacceptable.

Obviously I agree with the man being interviewed; he is certainly right in saying that the UK did much more wrong than it did right when it came to colonising India, and the citizens of the UK should certainly be aware of the problems the colonisation caused in India as well as the profit it brought to our country. But what I do not agree with is that British people should be apologetic for this colonisation. The Germans for example committed countless atrocities in WW2 (and the UK did during the colonisation), however I would never ask the German people of today to be apologetic for it – they had no say, yet face criticism and prejudice for the event. As Brits we do not, and should not, because like with the actions of other nations, these things happened a long time ago and were not our choice. I agree that our nation committed terrible acts during this time in history, but not that the british people of the 2020s should be apologetic and act as if we are responsible. I am willing to debate this with people, but not if they are condescending and confrontational, like many are these days when a non-mainstream point of view is put forward.

Shashi Tharoor, author What The British Did To India, about Britain’s Colonial Legacy and how it is interpreted. Great orator from India . Thanks to Shashi Tharoor . The colonial legacy includes suppressing our History of freedom struggle of India . e g Vasudev Balavant Phadke the worrier against tyrants who shifted , to Eden and he died there in jail . This was documented in movie naming the revolutionary . Even a fort Called Bhairavgadh in Malshej Ghat near Mumbai , some top steps made in rock at top of pinnacle of fort , where great Vasudev used as shelter , the steps were blasted by then rulers , so that no one can reach the fort top . Now one needs to climb, by assuming the removed steps as they exist .

Why did China suffer the same decline as Inida even though it wasn’t under British rule?

Ask Iran and Afghanistan for atonement too. Why did Indians fight for the Empire? Also the Raj in India was a tiny population with an overstretched supply line. Why didn’t the Indians just kick them out. I don’t think my ancestors living in dire poverty in the industrial towns of England and Scotland saw trickledown. It was only after we gave up the empire that my class saw an improvement.

Britain is a poor country.. majority of the teenage British girl can’t afford sanitary pads..
Gavin Wilkinson
Those who instigated and benefitted from the British Raj were a very small elite and are long gone. They’re the same ruling class who also exploited the British working classes for centuries. I see no reason for the decedent’s of the British working classes who saw no benefits from the empire and were too busy trying to survive themselves to apologise to anyone. From my experience of young working and middle class Brits of the modern day not one of them is proud of the rule over India or colonialism in general, far from it. At best they take solice that we weren’t as intentionally barbaric as some other imperial Europeans but not one of them would champion the behaviour of the old upper classes. I think the hate towards modern day Brits is frankly ridiculous. I do not feel any desire to ask Italians, French or Scandinavians to apologise for their violent invasions followed by barbaric forceful rule and exploitation of the native Brits and their country as I recognise that their populations have long since moved on and have no link to that period in history.
Rust in Peace
This sounds all true. We could say the same but just a bit further back in time. Romans, French, Vikings. Name a country that hasn’t been treated exactly the same way. Our History lessons should be more transparent to our colonial past.
Captain Price
This guy is teaching Indians and Pakistanis to hate Britain whether he means to or not. British empire is over and should be learnt in classrooms but should be left in the classrooms. Bringing up every country that invaded each other in history will create a world where every country hates each other.

The main thing I realize when people are debating the British empire nobody wants to talk about the Atlantic slave trade nor the massacre’s Western Indians they mostly want to talk about India when other colonies suffered terribly
Md. Modassir Hassan
We don’t need any apologies from today’s British people but a sense of something wrong had done by their forefathers! Asked any Indian+Pakistani common people, the pain of partition of 1947?

I am sorry …..I was Indian and I don’t agree .this guy Is making Indians look and sound desperate for some kinda apologie… I don’t think he understands history he might know it but doesn’t get it.If it wasn’t for the brits it would have been some other nation simple as that …if India had the market and we did …we would have did something to stop the brits from stealing but we didn’t …. that’s how History was stealing and getting rich and it was admirable back than it’s not Britain’s history it’s the history of human species…this guy should shut up and let Indians do what they r doing right now show the world how good they r…

The British Empire wasn’t the first Empire to Control India

Today in the UK they have the nerve to criticise immigration. First it was people from the west indies _Pakistan _ India _Bangladesh and now its the turn of the Eastern Europeans. The cheek of it. The immigrants are taking my job. I left at 16 with no qualifications and Dr patel and Dr ahmed are taking my jobs. Nurse Sheila and nurse kaur are taking my job.

There are two types of people in the world ,those under a empire and those who have a empire I’m proud to be in the latter

i think he slightly exaggerates how little indias participation in war etc is taught in the uk, the participation of the raj is a substantial focus in my experience, as well as the ANZAC and canadian. however he is correct where a formal apology is deserved but i dont think he understands that most brits know and appreciate indias contributions to the empire in the 20th century

If India was the richest country under the Muslim Rule, I think, not only Britain, but also India (Bharat) need to apologize for distorting the Indian Muslim Rule.

The main question is; Wht did British did to the world? India, Irak, Egypt, China, Hong Kong, Pakistan…
Lord Ashbury
The main problem with this argument is his assumption of India upon the arrival of the East India Company as ‘The richest country in the world’. India wasn’t a country in any sense of the word throughout Britain’s time in India. This is why Britain was able to exploit India in the first place. It was a vast collection of states containing a variety of languages, cultures, religions and competing interests that the British inserted themselves into. One of the main reasons the Sepoy Rebellion in the 1857 failed is because there was no real concept of Indian nationhood and one part of India saw themselves as distinct culturally to other parts. Britain could never have succeeded in ruling over such a vast number of people with such little manpower had a concept of Indian nationhood been present. China is the greatest example of this. China was just as rich in resources as India and Britain did use its superior technology to force trade concessions but it could never realistically take over China in the same way it did India due to its tradition of being a unified state. I’m in no way detracting from the many negatives of British rule in India that he pointed out, by the way, I’m simply saying we need to understand the situation as it was at the time. The painful truth I’m afraid is that India is only ‘united’ in part now because Britain forced this unity through the Raj. ~ Doing a PhD on the East India Company and the Indian textile industry

This guy does not have an honest heart…i dont understand his agenda, but, i would rather have heard such things from a more sincere good soul….this one, does not register right.

The Indians can only lecture people if they prove they didn’t conquer others. Since they did, that means the only reason they didn’t conquer Britain was because they didn’t have the means, not because they’re morally superior.

“the world’s leading steel manufacturers” that couldn’t be more wrong, India wasn’t even 1% of steel manufacturing, Britain, Germany, the US and France were the leaders by far
Enigma Man
Another sad Indian crying for what did the moguls not do more damage at least the British Empire built infrastructure and and paved the way for India to prosper as a developed country

Britain was the best at it, we had the biggest army. Besides, We are not morally responsible for the bad practices of people generations ago. British colonialism made the world a better place.

94 Megacity Mumbai – From slums to skyscrapers | DW Documentary

Back to menu

29 jan. 2022

Mumbai is a city of contrasts. Here, the super-rich and slum dwellers live side by side. As more and more luxury skyscrapers go up, slums are forced to make way for them. Conflicts ensue. So what is life like, in a megacity with 20 million inhabitants?
 
In Dharavi, Asia’s largest slum, more than a million people live in extremely crowded conditions. But the neighbourhood is dynamic. We meet Mahesh, 27, who was born in the slum and has never left. Today, he runs a recycling plant that employs about 20 people. Dharavi’s shadow economy is said to bring in 800 million euros a year. However, the future of the neighbourhood is uncertain, as it sits on valuable property — located right in the city centre. With the support of local authorities, real estate magnate Babulal Varma is tearing down slums to build luxury housing for the upper classes. Will Dharavi survive? 
 
Mumbai is already one of the most populous cities in the world. By 2035, the population is projected to rise drastically — to 30 million. The city’s inevitable expansion affects not only the people who live there, but also the forests that surround it. These include the “Sanjay Gandhi National Park”. Now, the leopards living in the park have started to make regular forays into new housing developments, looking for food. They attack stray dogs, as well as humans. As urbanization continues, the conflict between humans and wild animals is sure to become more dire.
 
Crocodile Whispers
I can’t imagine the minds that would change in the States if many people had to live in the slums of Mumbai for just a week. The perseverance of the human spirit in Mumbai is something else. Much respect to the residents of the city.

Hindutva must be eradicated
I’ve seen people in many cities, even today, rushing with buckets, canes and containers to fill them with water for their household and shops. Lower access to fresh and clean water is a big issue, especially drinking water, soon India will run out of water and where there is no water, the society will collapse, people will fight over water and will drink cool-aid instead around the Indian ocean which consists of saltwater.

You have to take in mind that the people living in the slums are there illegaly and does therefore not have claim to any housing. Homeless people in the US wouldn`t get free housing like that, thats forsure
