Meter is becoming a scarce commodity. Hes just getting dryer and dryer and we need more and more water. Is omar earth, dying of thirst . Theres no water at home then its like be a pod with global struggle for water and nothing can be done. Thurs starts august 10th. Oh d w oh, ah. Very noisy, one of the most Sacred Places in india, mother ganges. Any one who bathes in these waters hindus believe, can hope to escape the cycle of birth, death, and reincarnation. 75 years after independence. India is a blend of spirituality and modernity. A country where millions of children are still forced to work well. Indigenous a displaced for valuable resources. A nation with growing global influence, both economic and political a country that promotes the merging of religion and politics. A place where hate speech and violence against non hindus are on the rise. Hi, is this the india that mohandas cramped and gandhi known as mahatma, or great soul, dreamt of in his teachings and visions. A man who with his philosophy of non violent resistance, left his mark on collective memory and led his country to independence in 1947, a man who envisioned an india with equal rights for all regardless of face. An india that would vanquish poverty. In modern india, what is left of Mahatma Gandhis dream ah, ah, a moon gandhi was born in 1934. Hes a grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, and spent time with his grandfather as a child. I would characterize my grandfather of her being a visionary. Yeah, he had really had her love and compassion for everybody for me as a grandfather and he was very loving, really caring, very committed her grandfather. He took the responsibility of taking care of me because my parents had gone away, leaving me there alone. Mahatma gandhi espoused the principle of non violent resistance against the British Colonial power, a model for pro democracy movements to this very day. London, a shiva is a leading human rights activist in india and around the world today. Gandhis philosophy of known violence is a deep philosophy and practice. It is more relevant for india to day and the world than it was a 100 years ago. When he articulated it and lived, he came up with the idea santiago, which is a combination of george said, dear meaning truth. And now gra meaning pursued doughty, gandhis greatest active civil disobedience was the salt march of 1930. For 24. 00 days he walked almost 400 kilometers, with his followers eventually harvesting a few grains of salt at dandy beach on the arabian sea. A symbol of rebellion against the british salt monopoly and the high taxes, the empire levied on salt. The british and imperialism are so greedy. They want to make money out of everything. They wanted to make money out of our salt. In hot climates you need salt. And india was making salt all along the coastline by evaporating water from the sea. The british made it illegal to assault law. Gandhi walked to dandy beach, picked up the salt from the sea. He said, nature gives it for free. We needed for our survival. We will not obey our law and long with political contemporaries such as you are. Hello, nero and beer and bed cur gandy achieved something, seemingly impossible. On the 15th of august 1947 india gained independence. Longer the girl relayed with destiny. And now, the time come when we held the place at the foot of the midnight top, when the room sleep, well, when are we lightened, theda hm. But the jubilation would soon fade. Something that candy never wanted. The division of the indian subcontinent became a reality. The partition between india and pakistan. So more than 10000000. 00 hindus and muslims flee their homelands, the Population Exchange was fraught with violence. More than a 1000000 people lost their lives. Then came the next devastating turn of events on the 30th of january, 1948 gandy. Was assassinated by a radical hindu nationalist. Ah, the ah, each lemme the great so did not live to see the Indian Constitution come into force in 1950. Ah for he wandered india for b. M a, an example, a shining example of how or non Violent Society can exist, study and how we can live happily with each other. But that, that sandra, happening ah, gandhis sayings continue to provide inspiration the world over. But do his teachings and ideals still have meaning in the india of today. Aah vote canvassing for the b. J. P. The party of Prime Minister and a rendered moody very nazi is modis constituency. A b j. P stronghold in the state of which i pradesh. Im at the arc a, b, j. P is determined to sweep the elections to the Legislative Assembly in march 2022. I got and i was all of them a month. I think its already i had i did with one of my he might do a name that got it with a mighty ive been looked at me live that may have looked at me that i dandies only deals of tolerance and non violence on not exemplified by the b j p, the right wing Hindu Nationalist Party was founded in 1980. Its now indias strongest political force. Its rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Today, it boasts the largest membership of any policy in the world. The b, j. P, as he is to the principles of the hindus and movement that sees hindus as the historic victims of muslim and British Colonial rule and injustice that is determined to remedy. In 2014, the b. J. P. Again became the ruling party of india under Prime Minister modi since then. Theres been a sharp increase in hate speech and violence against muslim i would consider india democracy, only in name. Its not true democracy. Their whole philanthropy to start with is a negative philosophy, her making india into a new country and eliminating all the other minorities from india. And they seem to be doing that and then go quiet way with instigating problems with christians and problems with bus friends. And you know, making them i am safe in the country, which is all against thee a basic constitution of the country. Ah, order with j. Sure ye rum or hail lord, rama has become the b. J ps battle cry in its fight for the hindu cause. Ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback ah. Ringback to understand political, india, and, and arrange ramadi, its necessary to delve into hindu mythology. According to legend, rama was born and i your dia, not far from vern asi roma is an incarnation of the hindu. Good vishnu. One of the most revered deities in hinduism, b. J. P supporters worship him above all other gods. Its believed the temple in romas honor once stood in your dea batches until the muggles muslims from central asia who ruled india from the 16th to the 19th centuries, demolished the temple and directed the barbary mosque in its place. For many hindu nationalists and b, j. P supporters, the masks that have replaced Hindu Temples are a symbol of that detested muslim rule. In 1992, the barbary mosque was torn down by nationalist hindu demonstrators. The in suing unrest claimed the lives of around 2000 people. A new realm, a temple is now under construction on the very same site with the approval of india supreme court, an act of belated restitution for hindu nationalist. This is the moment to unleash our non violent pass and re imagine valleys teachings for relevance to us. Me, india, under the b j. P is a far cry from ganges ideals. The recess is the volunteer organisation of the hindu movement, promoting hindu nationalist values through discipline and power. Military training. Ah, many of the ministers in modis government as well as the Prime Minister himself products of the r s. S system. Its the idea logical superstructure at the b. J.

Yet its important for us to record this accurately realized, 2 to 3 people on every street on every alleyway schedule so that we can get the votes. Street by street more live i as indigo. Second. Believe island goes, okay. I see. Huh. So if we divide the area in 20. 00 to 25. 00 south sanctus and place one of our walkers and each one of them, them get the maximum value, maximum voltage, low mcculla linger. Given the b j. P is in the master of bureaucracy. The party compiles meticulous records on each and every citizen in an effort to reach potential voters. Some the townhome out of civil is our organization is our biggest strength, our party is a party of discipline. Why . Because i got up whatever task we undertake, we do them only after getting our president s permission to go back. C oh yeah, i see john, i hello, brother.

The name is derived from the hindu words id or beginning and vasey, which means do i laugh . There are more than 700. 00 id vasey communities across the subcontinent.

So in place im in dia, im the new d. Hey, it was so and coupled with that a little our day in an effort to protect the traditional way of life and culture of the advocacy the Forest Rights act was passed in 2006. The law recognizes the rights of forest toilers to the land lave lived on for generations, but time and again, companies try to drive the advocacy from their homelands. Their land is often rich in resources, such as word and other Raw Materials which arouse his greed zip. Susanna about when the mining and sergio got started in 2005, you had in your fortys conducted a public hearing. The people who live in the affected area who have a long relationship with the hills. They should have been present at that public hearing. Local, happy public, but they help the meeting, 100 kilometers away, another you there and on tribal people who have no idea about the forest. When they were brought along the tracks and paid on to attend the hero, get by the mc, woods bunny non table, the local people whose lives are dependent on the hill. I can look not a single one of them was able to participate. Larry, what can be the people were prevented from knowing what is happening in their foreign denisa in their hills. Logan go muslim nail not to you, is that i so i believe im a, this is a conspiracy between the government and the Mining Company. How to go out of jewish shouldnt be happening a trillion threat.

Hes also from the community, a member of the medea Indigenous People and you are seeing some would they, the out of as a community is not well educated, was that there are many villages here when no one has ever started that way. If we want to claim our individual forest right, we have to submit proof that i am doing that. If we dont have that proof, our claim wont be recognized at all. I got a better boss.

Ive seen all the papers have older model for the only other. Well, you got another maria. Then that be you should have gotten totally de monte a tried can only be found in the got you raleigh district because one of the characteristics of particularly vulnerable tribal groups is that, that geographically isolated, typically either isolated from the Wider Community bodies. You can only find them in a specific area, which if the woman may, he will up go by using it. The local indigenous communities have already suffered a painful loss. A Mining Company is extracting iron or on one of the hills. Now theyre not allowed to access the area and can only look at it from a far. For the medea the hill has always been sacred. The place they used to go to offer press the iron or mine is more than just a blight on the landscape. Along with the sense of spiritual loss comes the worry about environmental pollution. These are brought to paulas. They have limitless greet. They can exercise all their corruption on any government, but they are tribals who say dont mindful, coal. That tribals who say stop the pollution of our land, a lot of acre a dorothy hood. Linda. Good in the 3rd the, and the big a bill. My do you worship in the godaddy .

What we got on it, what i our community will make these decisions together and put them into practice or discuss log, log blending, cutting. No was cow management getting. Ah, ah, ah ah, ah, ah, who gandhis vision encompassed the whole world. All of humanity. A while to not divided by nations and buddhist but Geopolitical Realities appear rather different to day. India is becoming an increasingly important player on the global stage. To indias biggest geopolitical challenge and its major rival is china, an economic conflict that is also vitally linked to security interests. In 2021, china was home to 1420000000 people in india, the wild, 2nd most populous nation, 1390000000. Both powers is striving to expand their sphere of influence in the Pacific Region and around the world. And both countries on nuclear palace ah, india and china separated across the himalayas by a demarcation line that has never been formerly negotiated a de facto border, long disputed by both sides. The 2 countries went to a one month long, more over the border in 1962. India is trying to consolidate its borders, and i think that it is, is generating a lot of friction, most visibly manifested in the galvan ready crisis of 2020. So there is certainly that, you know, one manifestation is that borders is becoming wallet i. And that is a change from the earlier position when, you know, when they assumption was that india and china will non board the water wonder. They have a settled mechanism that they will, they will ship and they will see, show me the bang, but you know, they will continue to negotiate. That is changing. Now of youve seen the milan graces that forces v use a violence was used and they were debts on both sides. I think that volatility, that the line of actual control, as it is called of, is becoming more volatile, more dangerous. And so its, its one major station, the both sides law feel that they need to push back against the other the himalayas are the most important source of fresh water for both countries. Thats one reason for the conflict between india and china. But the dispute is about far more than the border and natural resources. The Security Architecture of asia is his field of expertise. Harsh v pant works for a renowned indian political institute. Hes been observing chinas efforts to position itself as the leading global power, which india regards as a threat to its own security interests. China views itself, especially unless shes in thing and the current president of use itself as a country that has arrived as a country that are in that as a nation. That is rightfully acquiring its position in the global stage and, and therefore a for china. Its a christian or form or achieving that status and using all means to achieve that status, requiring others to chris to those stumps, india and countries making they have called for a marty bullet world order will be one by one to be distributed across countries. So in the us, in some of this challenge, that idea that in one country can dominate the system and therefore with china, india wants to make it very clear that there are certain deadlines that can and recross india and china are also economic rivals. India is refusing to participate in chinas new silk Road Initiative by offering loans and investment, same ports, rail roads, and other infra here projects. China is working to secure partnerships with countries the world over what her china wants to do is not really build capacities in these countries, but use its excess capacity. The china has a 2 to 4 there. Its geopolitical agenda. If you look at be built in Road Initiatives or consequences to the a number of these projects are stuck, a number of these countries are facing problems with their debt. And in a lot of the projects that china had initiated in these countries have been a chinese online chinese executed without building any capacity in smaller countries. India is pursuing a different strategy, bolstering the domestic economy, while capturing markets not yet dominated by china, by offering quality products at a low price. But challenge auto is a long established Indian Company and a global player, but judge scooters and motor bikes, enjoy cult status in india, and can be found on the roads of more than 70 nations worldwide. R o, a b ha mara. We encountered a fierce competition from primarily many Chinese Brands because the chinese motorcycle industry had grown. And once, you know, there was over capacity in china that was spilling all, were too many, many parts of the board, whether it was latin america or africa. On the streets of lagos, nigeria, the judge, made books and muddle is the market leader. Nigeria is the single largest market via or will mean 50 percent less share it is the market where my job or started is african event. Jeff and it was in somebodys plate proving golf because of the market today, almost every current bike on the road of the whole continent of africa is a judge boxer alongside africa. But judge is expanding its export markets to south america and the middle east rushes invasion of ukraine in early 2022 cent geopolitical shock waves around the world. The war has also put india under the international spotlight as a key Strategic Partner for many nations. India enjoys increasing count on the Global Political stage. The west is coating india, a democracy and Major Economic power as a boardwalk against the china, russia axis. While western sanctions mean india is now a key customer for russian oil and military exports. China, for example, as is gravitating much closer to russia in particular after you cream crisis, did is expectation that the rush in china will get even even closer so, so there is certainly the fragmentation of the global order in shinine india. I think this contestation is in some ways that the heart of that fragmentation indias assessment has been that india can not afford to look away from the china entertainment. Your forces are eyeball to eyeball, almost on the border. You really cannot afford to antagonize a country like russia, which supplies you with at all 55 percent of your defense requirements. So therefore, engagement publicly criticized drescher and he has not taken a stand isolating rush hour sanctioning russia that many distant countries have done. But you see an evolution even on that issue. You see india to be is talking about the centrality of you in chapter centrality of International Law centrality of this. I be updated to the integrity and sovereignty, managing global disputes. And that is basically a target that russia to the issue of india 1st means that india is vital interests of sacrosanct. They can not be compromised. And therefore, the position that they will take on the global stage will be determined by how those National Interests are being fathered, understand the dont trend of india 1st is a far cry from Mahatma Gandhis hopes for his independent india. We are not in a good place where a few people decide what they want to do with the word was come from green and file base comes from giving, sharing and on by ah grand news for lashley international philosophy. It is about the good of human beings and trying to bring up the good nest in every human being and creating harmony ah ah, ah, with who on the road with our travel super heroes. My mission is clear.
