It makes me emotional, that Panjab was Awesome, Undivide, Love sharing, Hard working, ik duje da dard wandaaun wale lok... Oh Galiaan.. Oh Taahliaan - Beriaan, Wah! The Heaven on Earth.

[RaaviPaar]

[UrbanTurbanGuy]

village life was tough.

[zohaibrai]

Punjab for Punjabis, no Indians or Pakistanis allowed..

[KannyValentine]

i do believe there were diseases.. nothing gives u the right to be rude to me n say "people like you"

its just that the good part, the fruits of nature were all pure.. so just in case if u think this word is better than that.. u may just jack off..

[Twiggle33333]

how the hell did they get a map that accurate without going into space :O... thats alot of man hours... mapping the world and all

[soph60]

my granddad and grandma used to tell me how difficult life used to be in the rural villages and all about thier daily chores. They were from the Bhimber District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

May Allah (SWT) grant them Heaven

Ameen

[KannyValentine]

this is supercool... i love villages, i have never been there... how lucky used to be those people who used to get pure food, fresh air, clean water...

not like these days where everything is adulterated..

[WurledPeas]

@KannyValentine Except they only had an average lifespan of about 45 at the upper end. Most deaths were from easily curable ailments that people like you take for granted. Things like diarrhea killed many. And no, their water was not so "clean"; water borne illness was then and remains a killer in India. I have lived in very rural villages like this where some of these kinds of practices still occur. There is nothing fun, easy, or romantic about this life. It's hard and frequently cruel.

[Truth1Teller]

I meant "british", not "brotosh".

[BengalG3]

@PunjabiGirl92 Bro, I take pride in every part of India from Bengal to Punjab to TN to Mizrom. Indian comes first. Indus vally culture has a lot of similarity with early Hinduism. Tell me on thing that Indus vally culture has in similarity with Pakistan? NOTHING. There are seals thats show proto-Shiv, a Lingam has been found there, Swastica which is used to this day in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism.

[Truth1Teller]

@BengalG3 Dude, Theres no solid proof Hinduism has it's origins in IVC. There is no solid proof which can prove to us the lanuage and religious belifs of IVC. And even if Hinduism does have it's origian in IVC, that still desont give people of India a right over IVC.

And what was IVC culture exactly? You and I were not there to expericane this culture, and it's been almost 5000 yers since IVC, Of course culture is going to change :P

But people of Pakistan are the true claimers of IVC.

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@Truth1Teller Have you seen Indus seal with the Shiavic seal in the loga position? Have you seen the Swasitica that is still used in Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist culture today? Have you see the dug you LINGAM from the Indus civilization? Have you seen some sculptures with what looks like a very early form of Tilaka on it? What do these have in common with Pakistan? NOTHING!

[Truth1Teller]

@BengalG3 Btw, I dislike how many indians choose to live in ignorance and denial about 1947. By saying "Pakistan was always apart of india but they seperated from us in 1947 because of Islam".

Both Pakistan and India were created in 1947 from British Indian empire.

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@PunjabiGirl92 Pakistan was created as a new nation in 1947, but "India, Hindustan, Bharat" is much older..Sure the Republic of India was born in 1947, but the civilization is much older. Ask the ancient Greeks from Alexanders time who called India "Indika". Or the Persians and Arabs that called India, "Hindustan". Or the native Indians themselves that called the land "Bharat".

[Truth1Teller]

indika, india, hindustan, ect were words used to describe the geograpihc location of south Asia through out history. these names were given by invaders (whther persian or arab), and deprived from Indus river in Pakistran. same as how "middle east" is used to describe west asian countires. just because you people decided to name your country as "india" in 1947, doesnt give you a right over whole of south asia. Btw, the word "india" itself is created by the british.

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@Truth1Teller What about Bharat it is the same equivalent.. Btw Im looking forward for you guys to get trashed in the world cup.

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@Truth1Teller The word "India" It is the English version of ancient Latin word "Indica". Just like China comes from the Sanskrit word Chin. India has three names Bharat, India, and Hindustan.

[Truth1Teller]

@JacobTheIndoAmerican india, indika, whatever you wanna call it, were names to describe a geographic location of south Asia, deprived from Indus river in Pakistan. before 1947 a united country known as "india" didnt exist. when brotosh came to south asia, there were hundreds of independent states. through out most south asian history, south asia has been a region with empires rulling among themselves, not a united nation. south asia is too diverse to be called "one nation".

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@Truth1Teller The people of the subcontinent is DID call the whole region one name, which was Bhārat Ganarājya. Mauryan, Gupta, Pala, empire and also the Mughal empire unified the land. Greeks came to Mauryan court and called the whole country Indica. Mughals called it Hindustan.

Before 1947 a unified country called India didnt exist. Before 1912 there was no unified country called China. But Han,Tang, etc. Just Like India with Mauryan, Gupta, Pala, Mughal.

[Truth1Teller]

@JacobTheIndoAmerican The people of subcontinent didnt call it one name, or nation. These names were either given by rulers or invaders. Not used by common people in subcontinent. Mauryan, Gupta, Pala, Mughal, or which ever empre you wanna name, dont reperesent majority of south asian history. Through out most of south asia's history, south asia was a region with empires rulling among themselves, Not a united nation.

[Truth987Seeker]

@JacobTheIndoAmerican , Punjab for Punjabis. we dont want you indians near Punjab.

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@PunjabiGirl92 They never called Punjab, "Punjab" until the Persians needed it that. There has been may different kingdoms there or a part of other kingdoms. But the land was always called Hindustan, India, or Bharat as the whole. Persians that ruled Punjab called the people Hindus, and talked about the profit they got out of these lands from tribute. When Greek Megasthenes came to the Mauryan court they he called the whole land "Indika" or "Indica" which is India.

[Truth1Teller]

@JacobTheIndoAmerican Indus Valley Civilization belongs to people of Pakistan, Not india. Only north west indians have a right over IVC.

[44Mander]

@JacobTheIndoAmerican These were all words used to describe the region, not the name of a country of itself, it was all just various empires before then, no one entity called Indika existed, it was simply a way to denote or describe the region. Oh, and I have hell of a lot more in common with Punjabis in Pakistan than even the people in neighboring states in India.

Sadar Bahat singh india kay liye shaheed hoya thaye na ki punjab kay liye aur punjab india may hi hata hai

[44Mander]

@gusainmanju I'm fairly sure he became shaheed for India assuming that the Indian wouldn't commit such atrocities on the Punjabi people after. It's a mistake it ended up in India, Sikhs like Muslims and Hindus should have asked for their own homeland, we did have a Sikh empire before the British after all. Anyways, in closing, Fuck Hindustan.

[gusainmanju]

@44Mander shayaad sadar bhagat singh ji ki soch bahut badi thi

Long Live Punjab !

[gujranwalasports]

old is gold

[rehan3600]

yes i can tell this is jhelum...near my nanke's pind pandori....pakistan. very near where in ancient times ranjha is said to have met with the jogis. i can only imagine the amazing time...when my grandparents and great grandparents were living like this. our pinds near there are named pandori and mundeer...shah family

[saifiub]

But this film Was made near Jahlum in Pakistan Punjab now

[seeragill]

thanks

do u have more video or pics about punjab??????????

[ThePunjabdholi123456]

have you guys noticed in all these old videos indians looked so blackk and now we a lot of us have lighter skin lol

[rehan3600]

@ThePunjabdholi123456 but also its bcz even ppl who were not naturally so dark ended up looking quite dark. even if u are light brown...if u are in the sun all day then u will become dark

[ThePunjabdholi123456]

@rehan3600 yeah true thats how it was in india and did you know india has more black people then africa?? it was in a text book north india like punjab is the lightest area of skin color and south east and west are more people with blacker skin indias huge too

[Lemon020202]

@rehan3600 ....I thought the light coloured ones were because of the british invasion. thats what i heard! mixed races, but were forced to live as indians after many indian women were raped like 100 years ago

[batthsutej7395]

Much respect to my ancestors.

[khandajatt]

The beauty of Punjab is unparalleled!

[drivelikejunio]

yes that's what I mean...It's not like a Bengali or a Gujarati would feel a so called sense of pride after seeing this video.

[drivelikejunio]

I would not classify Punjab as being in central India, Its more the North West...this video is awesome for studying the lives of my Punjabi ancestors. How this makes one feel proud to be "Indian" is beyond me, its nothing to do with India.

[twyborn29]

@drivelikejunio - it has EVERYTHING to do with India given that it was filmed in India in 1925 - 22 years before the creation of Pakistan. So at this time the whole of Punjab was part of India.

[drivelikejunio]

@twyborn29

yes but this doesnt represent the whole of India. Punjab is a unique and separate entity. One of the reasons why Jinnah was against the region's partition was because he believed Punjab has a unique history and culture. I study history and it annoys me how people dont fully consider this great region's uniqueness from the rest of the subcontinent. This should make people feel proud to be Punjabi and not Indian.

[twyborn29]

@drivelikejunio - ah, so you mean 'not Indian' in the way that people from the Basque country don't think they're Spanish, or people from Cornwall don't think they're British.

[BengalG3]

@drivelikejunio Ummm...If you study history then you should know every state in India has its own unique history. From Punjab to Tamil Nadu. That still doesn't make it any less "Indian". A river in the Punjab area named know Indus river is the reason why we call India "India" and "Hindustan". The rivers in Punjab nourished the first Indian civilizations, It gave birth to India just like the Nile to Egypt. So it doesn't make it any less Indian my friend.

[garryonly4u]

@PunjabiGirl92

who ever wrote this comment is stupid....

its not shown in video..its indian punjab or pak....u cant tell whichpunjab, because our culture ,food ,language,work,and look,skin colour... every thing same...except religion

and there is not any east punjab or west punjab...because punjab is delta of five rivers...u cant say punjab if only 2 and half rivers in it

if five rivers together then its call punjab...and love punjab and we proud of it...even its in pak or india

[1stjat]

seriously man i am from pakistan punjab and i love the people from indian punjab aswell my grand mother is from amritsar look at this it looks so beautiful undivided punjab un divided people undivided views and undivided humanity

[sightsandsoundsofpak]

@1stjat

Well its true what you said but love should come from both sides you can't have one sided love affair with India or Indians. I do not have to prove my case just check it yourself how much hatred there is amongst indians against Pakistan. so much resentment on youtube they just cannot accept the fact that Pakistan exists.

[1stjat]

seriously man i am from pakistan punjab and i love the people from indian punjab aswell my grand mother is from amritsar

[SelfMinusI]

what a very intriguing peek into the near yet still distant past.. beautiful. love to all life.

[Dakka1968]

Wow, Its really nice to see how India was before 85 years. I am proud to be an Indian.

[MrDesiPak]

@skspt ...and i am proud to be a Pakistani.

[skspt]

Thats great dear, everyone should have proud for their own country.

[MrDesiPak]

@skspt...it is nice to see tolernace here as i have seen otherwise Indians and Pakistanis on every forum fight recklessly as such they are above humanity and everybody is made from the superior blood...long live tolernace in the wolrd.

[skspt]

Ya, you are right. Dont know, when people will learn to respect others, their culture or country. When they fight on bases of religion, country or customs, it just shows their ignorance and illiteracy, nothing else.

[Truth1Teller]

@skspt fuck off you motherfucker, this is about Punjab. Not india.

[gmdchanar]

waooooo....it was greattttt

[noobkamal]

a very nice moive. Life was very diffrent back in the day. Imagin life in another 100 years. What were those things in the air at 12:48 min....? looks like telephone poles.

i am indian...love to watch india befor 80 odds year...

[kohli666]

this comment is in replyto Nusrat 5791, You really should serch your heart, and ask yourself , Which one of the communities living in punjab at the time of partition would have been most likely to commit rape & carnage against the other . If you are a Musalmani as your name suggests & you know even a little bit about the psyche of your men folk, I think youwould know the answer in your Heart.

[mantor420]

wat da f?? u make no sense!! its like saying you know in you heart your father is a rapist

[chamkila2]

I am proud ...coz... Iam PUNJABI.

no other place like PUNJAB

[kekvirag1]

szuzmari is right. All bloody dogmatic religion are stupid and racist.

Give up every religions and follow God only!!!!

[szuzmari]

This great video is an excellent example that the good and the bad is going together always. .... without Brittish occupancy we couldn't know how indian people lived there 80 years ago.

[Nusrat5791]

what a monumentally idiotic comment! Please do the world a favor and never reproduce, and if you have already done so, urge your offspring to stop from multiplying your genes.

If I promise to film your country a hundred years ago, would you let me rule over you and your descendants for 200 years?

Steal from you, treat you as a third class citizen in your own home, instigate famines that killed millions, etc, tec?

[szuzmari]

...and i thought that indians have improved intelligence... now i'm know i was wrong.... indians, like you are, just a fucken parasitic, brainless, aggressive, monkey.

I'm telling your future and it's very simple. You never will equal with white PEOPLE because you are dangereous to yourself as well. You have nuclear? So what! We know that it is as dangereous in your hands as monkeys hand the razor. USA will you eat up after middle-east and china.

[szuzmari]

Nusrat5791, you has no any culture you just use what white man left there thousands year ago. You are nothing and will be nothing forever. Because you are dropped behind the white man millions years in the evolution road.

[amonkeytrainer]

Agree. And now the whole world can see their everyday life - thanks to British who made this documentary in 1925 - even we can realize that Indian people's life wasn't so different from European village people's life. So a big THANK YOU for British film makers. That time - I guess - Indian people have no camera even not colored techniques. This is a priceless heritage for all nations of the World.

[fauja]

crazy to see india without plastic bags and litter... i hope that people in india will start to take care of their land a little better - Punjab is one of the most polluted places i have ever been... so sad now.

[szuzmari]

in 1930 were no any plastic bag in Europe as well... :D

[JattSikh4Life]

Sada sanjha Punjab. Muslim Sikh te kadi Hindoon da. Hindu's have not been fair to Punjab. In fact, they have shown prejudice against Punjab. Asli Punjabi Sikh te Musalmon hee han. Afsoos hai ke Hinduan ne ghadari kee ti.

[Nusrat5791]

Oh sure, there was sooooo much love between the Muslims and Sikhs. Who can forget the hundreds of thousands of Muslim women raped and killed by Sikhs during the partition.

Or, who can not see the way Muslims in Indian Punjab are treated these days - like dogs.

So, JattSikh4Life, please go and feed this bullshit somewhere else.

[szuzmari]

This is still your treatment nowadays too :DD .. you rape your own woman and treat them as an animal... you cut down their breasts, you kill them, you burn them with her dead husband, you send them being monk if some of them lost his husband... you force their own sons to rape their own mother... and so on... because you are unable improving in HUMANITY. You are primitive, dirty, hypocrite monkeys.

[Nusrat5791]

Bad things still happen in India and Pakistan because of poverty, and we are poor because Britain looted us for nearly three centuries.

Britain is a rich nation only because you guys looted and ruthlessly exploited other countries; you are thieves and murderers.

Any place you touched is till scarred, from Indian partition to Israel, you guys are pure evil.

If there was fairness in this world, Britain would be forced to pay trillions of pounds as reparation to India and Palestine.

[szuzmari]

Sorry, Nusrat, I think those "bad things" are based on your wrong teaching and not on poverty. Unfortunately man and woman are discriminated because of your false religious beliefs however man and woman are Soul. Soul manifests in a physical body depend on what kind of experience need for it for its individual, transcendental development. /e.g. you cant make experience in child-birth if you are a man/ cont.

[szuzmari]

Soul has not gender, religion, skin color, nationality and so on which are physical matters. As a Soul they must have equal RIGTH to take experience in everything irrespectively of their physical body. Your wrong teaching is the real reason why woman are treated so as they are still treated by man in India. cont.

[szuzmari]

The mental virus /religions/ is the most dangerous. These are man-made stupidity and thats why it causes of lots of problem of humankind.

Anyway, it is clearly written in your book /bhagavad gita/ that give up all religion and follow the only God.

[Nusrat5791]

szuzmari - look at your blatant hypocrisy and irony: during the second world war, you used hundreds of thousands of indian soldiers to fight hitler, and these indian soldiers died protecting your freedom, while their own land was occupied by your vile country. the despicable nature of your deeds lacks historical parallel. even the Jewish holocaust does not compare to the evil you unleashed in the colonies, where millions of lives were taken or allowed to die, in famines, to keep britain rich.

[szuzmari]

Take a closely look of descent of the Royal family in English, and Hitler and who're behind the current USA/English politicians and you'll realize the real enemy of humankind. Moreover that there are so many question mark around the j.holocaust Hitler was product of their /cionism/. Approm. 150.000 fulljewish soldier served in his army and around 20.000 helped him on the highest levels. So there is clear, that j.h. was made by them. Hitler died in peaceful in israel. Have a nice day.

[szuzmari]

I know you have old history /even older language than English/ but you cant deny that British brought some good things to you too, e.g. this bloody camera which shows your everyday life in 1925. Much more alive to watch these pic and compare that with other European nations' daily life in the same period.

[exposingnijjhar]

it make's a change from being raped from your brother's i suppose.

[CRAZYSAM97]

Unfortunately, not just there. That kind of injustice happened and still are happening all arond the world todays as well and will happen until people don't change themself; don't give up their stupid, superstitious religions. Those /all of them/ are false & wrong teaching. Let's live without any religion only with God freely and happily!

[mbbugi]

What a surprise after plundering the sub contnent For over 250 years Loading goods trains full of GOLD the coloniel hang over has left a lasting impression on Celloloid the film was done in Late july as the field in the back ground is full of wheat and also the sun is on the slight angle

These pictures are surely a treasure for the mankind old jewellry ,old clothes show that the self sufficent Farmer was a Happy One ,camera had no Value those days as the impression of being photographed.
