Shocking Asia: Poverty on the Ghats/ Sadhus and Siddhis

[ushausb]

LET ME TELL SOMETHING FOR THIS PEOPLE IT IS TIME FOR YOU GUYS TO EAT SOME DIRT ALL THE BAD KARMA YOU WHITE HAS DONE .

[pakistanisthebest1]

THIS IS THE REALITY OF INDIA!!!!

[SuperUncleruckus]

I blame the British, and the Muslim empire, and the fact is they screwed India, but we are in control now, and we are actually united by using English as 1 of the national languages (as much as I abhor it), we must use it to our advantage. As much as a whole judiciary system, as well as our government being based on British rule is ridiculous, and India should create it's own. Before that, get rid of the poverty, and we shall invent things like we used to.

[wannabedesi]

It seems that this documentary is as ethnocentric as any documentary created by western minds. I agree with Pyisloved. In America we are monetarily rich, but we are lacking in everything good I saw in India. A 10th grade student here living in a mansion, attending a private school could not match the intelligence nor knowledge of a 10 year old child living in a shack and attending a government funded school.

[pyisloved]

There are different kinds of poverty and filth,

in the West we have the most obese persons

in the world, and the highest Cancer & heart

attack rates. At the rate America is spending,

she is going towards a similar poverty.

It is so good to see all those old dark European and

Muslim occupiers gone from power in India. Now India

can finally move forward. It was the mathematics

of India which brought us the new wave of Technology.

And their spiritual sciences are the greatest in the world.

[tobesograteful]

Yes, there is karma.

[purusathama1]

this condition made by the invaders muslims mugals and christian british. India born highly rich world ever knew. even the spiritual science also which saves people faith in God even in poverty.. THIS IS THE BEAUTI IN INDIA. weastern world cannot understand.

[1dirtydj]

they should grow weed over there. make life better.

[djlohan1]

i can say thing..the man who knows how to laugh on other people's powerty ..will be scrued some day....+++++++

[23dojo]

interesting video. silly bias.  thanks for posting

[vasuudevand]

All you people Remember this..You might not like but this is Truth..."Those who paint sky as green and Earth as blue ought to be sterlized"-Hitler.That's True about these Indians don't feel pity on them.They will Brainwash you ..You know why DOGS were restricted to Verandas..why slobs are meant for Eating SHIT-answer is They deserve it...They deserve more.

From INDIA-By poor lower Middle class INDIAN...THis country is SCUM ..please NUKE THIS COUNTRY

[coolnkp]

shame on u. wer did u born?

[martini9799]

so u are indian urself huh?why are u saying like this huh they same people like we are

[ArtfulDawdger]

The well to do are not appealing. The dark underbelly of society always draws more viewers. It always has.

[izmarit31]

sure, but india's poverty is epic and massive.

[somsahi]

GOD is great .he has given every one two eye,one nose birth and death irrespective of religion

[zardgamer]

do you really think some of these people are happy to be alive?

i feel sorry for anyone brought into this world who has to live like that, seems like a punishment to me.

[somsahi]

I agree with you on this but india is not only about poverty .come to india then you will see that

[aty1234]

Most people in india do not have the opportunity to enjoy malls, clubs, bars, etc. If you think that most do, then you are smoking good homegrown weed.

[persausta]

Indians runing out of foot and now they are spriding around the world to look for more!! lol....

[by78]

India's definition of middle class is a sham.

[Elenkhos]

1:40

Shut up, you don't know anything.

[Humpbogart37]

another stupid white western propaganda film.white people don't seem to be able to get over their idiotic colonial hangover.

[shivahaze12]

That is so true man...

[upbeatmantis86]

In my point of view , this is crime against humanity at large, ... WTF is the indian government doing to counter this!... if they can put 2 person up in the top 5 richest man in the world, why not share those wealth?! ... very sad...

In my opinion casta is indeed suppressing its people, no freedom to be what they want ... similarly to the women who are oppressed from finding jobs..

[rajkiran1982]

wht do u know abt "casta" ??? casta ??? .. learnt in ur malaysian madarassa or evangelical church ?? ...

We are taking care of ourselves. We are never asking for funds... except few evangelicals who are making business by showing poor of India.

[upbeatmantis86]

Taking care of ppl.. yeah, just like the people in this documentary...

[ivorbernhart]

Caste System has been the bane of Hindu society for centuries. In terms of impact, it did much greater damage for a much longer period to a great many people than the slave system of the western world or the witch-hunting practices of medieval Europe. The Hindu caste system was a clever invention of the later Vedic society, justified by a few law makers. The upper castes found it convenient to retain and perpetuate their social and religious distinction and political and economic advantage."

[rajkiran1982]

Do u even know wht caste system is ??? ...

The notion of "upper" and "lower" in castes was introduced by british...its not a system of vedic system...

Yes, there is poverty in India bcoz of the socialistic model we followed...India is making giant strides now.... We dont need ur sympathy...

[ivorbernhart]

That was a quote from a website I came across that was outlining the caste system.

An error prevented me from posting the rest and the quote ended up out of context.

Sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.

[upbeatmantis86]

What giant strides...? India cant even take care of its people ... there are more cows on the road than cars... dont hide the fact that india is still backward in terms of its level of society thinking...

[rajkiran1982]

Whts the problem with cows ???

Do you even know that India's economy is bigger than ur shitty malaysia ??? ....

By ur comments, I'm sure, you never met any indian.

[upbeatmantis86]

No probs with cows...

BUT talking about casta... WHAT do YOU know that it benefits indian people dude...?? care to enlighten US??.

[upbeatmantis86]

Whats the point of having a bigger economy but its not shared equally among your people... you want to brag about your economy.. i can get my facts if you want.. not to be pedantic but its useless here..

BTW, You know why china is a hub as compared to India..? coz of the peoples value system.. open your mind dude.. suppression will only get into bigger depression.. what india neds is a socialist system, then it will get ppl going... India's so called democracy is a mess! no doubt..

[rajkiran1982]

Ridiculous and funny! ... India was socialist for 5 decades. It has started growing only once we started moving away from it. Looks like u have absolutely no idea about India.

Shared equally ??? .. u need lessons in economics buddy! ...

People from Malaysia calling India's democracy a mess ? .. And china a hub ? ... WOW!!! ..

U need not worry abt India. Worry abt ur country. U may need to beg from India in near future.

[upbeatmantis86]

Yea, shared equally... It is a fact that india is is still suffering from poverty badly, illiteracy, and malnutrition, among its people... you denying that?? I bet all the tax payers money and to cities like mumbai, delhi etc .. open your eyes man..

That is what i meant, shared equity... Oh btw, china is indeed the hub for business trades.. its silly your denying that too..

Beg india for what, call centre service/programmers..?! Bah! Pathetic!

[rajkiran1982]

No one is denying poverty in India.

But, ur assertion that there is exploitation, or that taxes are going to delhi and mumbai is sth only a person with ZERO knowledge of India can say.

Well.. u r ridiculing india today.. but, I dont mind since it comes from sb who doesnt have an iota of knowledge of India... Be ready for the emergence of next superpower. We are the fourth largest economy (PPP terms), and in many more things... You keep ridiculing.

Americans have realized that..u too will.

[upbeatmantis86]

Haha, zero knowledge..? look whos talking... you cant even justify why these people in this video are poorly taken care off anyway, So much for your "great economy" yeah.. lol..

Yeah, live with your indian pride.. good for you...

Owh btw, It doesnt take a person with full "iota" to tell whats going on in india.. just to let you know...

[imababyshark]

a superpower? if you can at least feed your poor and reduce the rate of poverty, i'll clap my fucking hands.

[rajkiran1982]

well...better care about the poor in your country..

Now, that you have lost all your looting sources, lets see how long you guys remain "developed." ...

Look at your govt., it is slowly sucking up to India. That itself tells the changing tide.

[izmarit31]

2-So why belive in something, i belive in capitalism and money, don't need a bonus like religion. No i don't mean i am capitalist, because i am not rich and that would make no sense. What i mean is, the only thing matters in this cruel world is power, and that is equal to money in this era.

[izmarit31]

Money is the real deal. Or let's say happiness of man is the most important thing in the life and happiness has some strict prerequisites like health and money. So if any religion ignores this fact, i can't care it. It is worthless to me.

That's why all the religions in the world are worthless for me. Not only hinduism. Also christianism, islam and anything else. Their economic systems are smillar to capitalism or they have no economic system.

[ivorbernhart]

Congratulations! You have won the award for the most heartless and demeaning video on you tube! First it shows the most heartbreaking footage of innocent humans in terrible suffering. Followed up by the use of that footage to demonstrate the foolishness of Hindu holy men(probably the wisest people on Earth -you don't notice that if you have no wisdom whatsoever). Then you use this "fact" to deter Westerners from taking Hindus seriously. Could this video be any more thoughtless and arrogant?

[jagamohaninpuri]

Dumb jerks coned by a shitty english propoganda film christians have done this kind of crap ever since they set foot into there crown jewel an the dumb FUCK that put it out on you tube couldnt go there himself he had to tape it from the T.V.

[sheikhmujahid]

look at this! the media makes it out like india is gonna be some sort of super power, bullshit!!!

im from somaliland northwestern somalia and if you go there you will never see poverty like this.

fuck hindus!

[upbeatmantis86]

yeah, but go fix ur pirates first before coming here and talk... lol...

[sheikhmujahid]

i'm from somaliland fool! aint no pirates there were against the pirates our navy arrested many of them.

i salute the pirates though they making money boy!

[upbeatmantis86]

Your navy... ? lol... you mean our warships and the rest of the world..? lol ... plz get your facts right...

[upbeatmantis86]

Just to add on to that, we were the first to arrive there... we sent 2 warships.. rescued Egyptian, china tankers etc.. even an attack hellicopter would scare these 'soldja boys' away without firing a shot... "so.. .. .."

[sandrabose]

200 million suffer from cronic hunger in India as per 2007 statistics.

[jimrossw2tp]

The narrator of this 'stupid' video is obviously a moron, we bless him and wish him enligthtenment at his earliest convenience ...

[web2baba]

fuck u all  u r talkng about culture wats ur culture.............ya nudity : -) they are holy men

they dont want money but u motherfucker cant understand ,u can suck anything for money

[kingsizesalami]

What about Birth Control????!!!!! if this continues.. I dont know what to say.. its just too sad.

[izmarit31]

their stupid religion is for diverting and manipulating the poor people. India is a hell on earth. 2.nd shitty place in the world after africa. Thanks for this vid.

[PabloQuiro]

non sense to look at a culture and country with a very stiff background and judging, as this video does. 1 star

[grandhigh12345]

yeow i live in canada and ive been trying to fucking get a hold of shocking asia film part 1 and or 2 how da fuck do i get it anyone know how or where i can get a link to download the movie please tell me?? loll

[Sankyaphilosophy]

this is horrible propoganda

[SatwaMan]

This film is at least 30 years old.

[holocaustodelamorte]

this is what i call good living :P

[st7103]

Why dont we all just masturbate and forget the realities of this world

[PRyde16]

wtf is wrong with aussies. they insult india so much just for the sake of it and indians dont insult them. whats wrong with you man?

[yamaraj147]

sounds like "faces of death" to me..

[PrincessaGianna]

How ridiculous the commentary is. The suffering is not because of poverty it's because the British occupation of India which raped India for all it had! These holy men are continuing their religious practices and sharing in the same visions of the divine that India had when it was flourishing with food and riches before the White man raped them for all they had! Just wait and see what comes of the American occupation in Iraq! Westerners think they know best when really they know nothing.

[paulkrist44]

Well said. Not many, even Harvard/MIT/.. professors from India, have the courage worthy of any man of conviction of honor, make bold to speak out the truth, since they care most for promotions in their jobs and chances to write books that can be sponsored. Kudos PrincessaGianna

[browngorillaz]

@PrincessaGianna shut the fuck up !!! Before the British came to Inida thre were no roads, telephones, street lights,railway. There was no common law system and people were arrested and judged arbitrary. The judicary system in India today is still based on what the British left behind. India was a run by a muslim empire. So thank the British for what they have done. Stupid desi nigger.

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@browngorillaz before the british there was no telephones,street lights,railways,etc in general.There was common law system before British.That Muslim empire was destoryed by the Marathas when the British attacked.And that Muslim empire and emperors had Rajput Indians blood.So shut up.

[PrincessaGianna]

Refuse to control? Humans breed just like animals do. Are you suggesting that genocide should be performed because that's the only thing that can control a population. Let's not forget that the entire WORLD population is exploding. It is true you get what you give, and when you give no compassion then god will give you none either.

[upbeatmantis86]

What they need is education on childbirth... etc.. the fact that their mental thinking such limited to the casta system, hinders them to think out of the box...

[rajkiran1982]

Wht we dont need is preaching from ppl who do not have even an iota of knowledge of india...

[upbeatmantis86]

Denial, is the poorest excuse dude.. If a foreigner could see this, i dont see why not to the indians, "when one doesnt know whats going on in the outside world, nothing will change"...

so dont talk to me about 'knowledge'.. perhaps the knowledge that you seek to preach upon is defect.. my opinion is generally shared mostly by a greater audience.. just look at the comments here... most are of them are all sympathy..

[rajkiran1982]

who cares/wants ur sympathy ??? ... Sympathizing just to make urself feel lucky ???

[upbeatmantis86]

Do you represent this poor community in this video..? if not, dont represent them... you must be eating a nice pizza at home.. huh?

[rajkiran1982]

those sadhus and sants belong to my religion (not yours). And, we are doing quite a lot for them. Go and read the range of welfare activities that happen in India...

The problem is just that India has been looted for centuries...and it will take time to revive ourselves esp. considering the huge population...

but, anyways, its useless to argue with a person with no knowledge..and wants to satisfy himself that he is rich by looking at some poor people..

[upbeatmantis86]

i presume you have abundance of knowledge.. .. well, hope it is put into good use, for the 'glory' of india... -peace-

[swineking]

Dont feel bad for indians! embrace the miracle that god has performed by placing them here for us to use as an unlimited fuel source, they will keep breading, and we can keep burning!

[PrincessaGianna]

Those without compassion live in misery and self tormented hell which is worse than poverty and sickness because they have no love, just selfishness and greed.

[izmarit31]

brits left long before. Surely they were evil and they damaged the country but wealth can be reproduced, especially in the long years of indipendence.

It was the indians who exploited their own people, who divided them in castes, and who never cared of poverty and suffering.

even though 1 billion is a huge amount of population, indians have a fucking big piece of land, which can feed that mass.

[nischalsan]

fate , born in the wrong place at the wrong time . May help come to you , Beautiful people.

[hotluxembourgreggae]

that video really reminds me on hitlers anti-jew-video 'der ewige jude', where he shows the jews as dirty rats, i wonder what was the intention of this video

[GermanDeal]

Ugly humans ...I hate them!

[PrincessaGianna]

Your uglier on the inside for what you say. What a horror people like you are, feeling no compassion, selfish, and ugly on the inside. May the universe give you a taste of reality.

[ghettostuntabulious]

dam, that sucks for them. lucky i'm over here instead of over there. even though they b havin' all them kids, they some hella freaks over there. and all them beggars, u gotta b like "dam get off me". just tell them 2 quite beggin' and shit!!!! LOL!!!

[PrincessaGianna]

That's not funny. One day, I hope you have to live like that to see it's not a joke.

[iamrott]

PrincessaGianna, what say you of the indian caste system that places black Dravidian natives at the bottom as a status of Untouchable? What say you of India's own British mentality?

[paulkrist44]

Old caste system gone except forXian converters who have lost other fronts to attack the only eternally,universally valid spirituality based Vedic religion.A new 'system', or is it nonsystem,based on materialism [income-, status -, position as boss or employee, power-, politics- based] substitutes the old one. Old-type castes produced outstanding men proud of their highly specialized work which they worshipped with the greatest reverence for divinity in any job, none mean, none superior- CONTD.1

[indian2250]

The Caste system is an universal truth or the Law of Nature.. the 4 castes r not made by man.. but they exist in nature..

but man made some changes in it.. hence making it ugly.. a person decide his caste by his Birth.. it is decided by what work he does.. he dicides his own caste.. caste system isnt for dis respecting of calling certain people untouchables.. its a division made by nature for things to work well.. even if u deny the 4 caste system in ur country (wherevere u r) .. contd.

[indian2250]

...contd - it exists everywhere in the world. an intelligent man who has gained a lot of knowkledge will beocme a Brahmin , an administator wil be a Kshatriya , business men will be Vyshyas and other common workers r Shudras.. this doesnt mean the shurdras hav to be called untouchables. this kind of 4 levels of division is there allover the world. why the world??ITS IN UR OWN BODY.!!

ur head which gains knowldege and decides things is Brahman..ur Arms Put things into ACTION is Kshatriya.contd.

[indian2250]

contd3.. ur belly which Collects Food (money) is the Vyshya , the Legs which work very hard r the Shudras. even if u deny this 4 level caste system exists in ur own body. can u deny this? thus its the Law of nature , one cant deny it. it is to make things work well..

but its sad that man mis-uses this by calling one superior another untouchable..

[izmarit31]

caste sytem is the universal truth my ass. It is just in india and no where else. Of course there are some sort of classes in any other system. For example in capitalism. But in any western country, people are not discriminated at birth. They have the opportunity to have a good education, and also to be a buisinessman, and they can be rich eventually. There are no such solid and stupid restrictions to any people at birth.

[indian2250]

Izmarit.. Ur ASS??

ur trying to say u didnt read my comment completely.

i didnt say they must be discriminated & nor did i say they must decide by birth. A person choses what he will be by his own merit.

at any given point of time there r differnt types of people. u cant have a society where 100% of the population r intelligent or 100% of them r not.

A "Bell shaped Normal Gaussian Distribution curve" exists in any set of population u take.

[izmarit31]

you mean hinduism and caste system were never implemented really, rather it was some sort of pervert version which is today used for economic oppression in india?

But you remind me, communists and socialists. When somebody talks about stalin and his massacres, they say "but it was not real socialism". Well, actually it was the real, more real than the principles in the books that never come into the realty.

[izmarit31]

btw, sorry about disrespecting your religion, that was because i feel sorry for the poor people in your country. And it seems to me that hinduism is just another way of oppression, among with goverment and army. Marx's aphorism "religion is the opium of the masses" finds its meaning in the fullest sense in india.

[indian2250]

If u say in the recent past there was oppression of the So-Called lower class here.i would agree.if u think it was always like that.its not true.

it doesnt matter if u respect the religion or not.Cos people who read abt it and know abt it,know what it is & they r the ones who practise it the way it should be.

we r not interested in increasing the number of people who follow it, like the British & the Mughals did.by forcible conversions.people here hav always been tolerant and continue to be.

[indian2250]

2

Its known that this place was far more developed in the past but somewhere down the line it lost its way.so now its on its way for re-development.

everybody knows abt few thousand years ago there were surgeries like cataract,caesarian,plastic repair etc were done by some rishis here,imagine without the modern technology or machines.that was the amount of knowledge the rishis had.

this is just an example to say how advanced this place was then.

people know YOGA as just practising some Postures

[indian2250]

4

InFact not many indians know abt vedas,cos they r not taught in schools,

only people who really interested study them.

it doesnt mean other religions r wrong. every religion teaches people morals.but it depends on people how they implement them.

some may take the extremist route and land up doing things like terrorism.. that doesnt mean the religion is all abt terrorism.

every religion tells abt god. the only difference is the name given to the god. and the lifestyle of the people.

[ivorbernhart]

The caste system never was what Hinduism was about. It's nothing more then a tool of the wealthy to keep their own families rich throughout generations. If you were familiar with Vedanta you'd see it shows how to wake up from your thought processes and emotions, not to let them put you to sleep and control you like in the belief and fear oriented religions of the west. It's true that the upper class of India misused Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) but the religion in itself is very liberating.

[izmarit31]

misuse or abuse of something is not an excuse to me. Christians slaughtered niggers and natives in the name of religion. If something is prone to abusing, it will be definately abused because of the human nature.

About the fear oriented part yes i agree. That fits also to islam and judism.

[izmarit31]

2- The video is somewhat shocking and it shows the facts that contradicts too much within. Some people are suffering from poverty to the limit of starving and on the other side some religious men is praying.

[izmarit31]

3- If you are so miserable, what is the meaning of religion and praying. What that religion tells about poverty or suffering or the economic oppression of the rich over the poor. If that religion doesn't tell anything about that it is worthless to me. The religion even should spark revolutionist ideas, not opiums like you will be a rich man in the next life if you obey

[mrmontyy]

I think you white people forget about the dark ages and the victorian era where sewedge was thrown onto the streets rats were carrying the balack death killing millions and th queen herself only bathed once a year and fucked her own cousin

[mrmontyy]

I think you white people forget about the dark ages and the victorian era where sewedge was thrown onto the streets rats were carrying the balack death killing millions and th queen herself only bathed once a year and fucked her own cousin

[ChristopherKnittel]

"You may think, that we have problems of our own, like the war in Iraq, or the war on terrorism. If, however, we take it upon ourselves to "liberate" a nation from a tyrant dictator, or an oppressive government, then why cant we take it upon ourselves to free a nation of poverty and starvation?"

Because every nation has a certain degree of poverty and starvation. We can't focus on everyone, we need to focus on ourselves. Africa is the biggest mess.

[RodCornholio]

Beliefs have physical manifestations. India is like New Jersey, just a bigger pile of garbage. When science, reason, and objectivism are missing, death and suffering are the inevitable results.

India needs the philosophy of Ayn Rand, and not a learned helplessness, self-sacrificing culture.

Desi women are hot though.

All the guys who believe in KARMA are stupids.

The Suffering is product of our imperfection nature and demons influence.

Demons are reality: the cause of paranormal sucess, posessions, sadism, dwarfs, etc.

[mykittierocks]

And none of those things could be karma? The imperfection of our nature couldnt be karma? You are not a prisoner of your minds current state of being, the knowing or not knowing that it has. Open it, free yourself. Free your mind dude..and the rest will follow.

[funkberto]

My friend Mykittierocks

IS TOO DIFERENT "HERENCE" than "KARMA":

We (and "casuality") are creators of our circumstances. (ECL 9:11)

[terminaal]

demons are reality like sadism and dwarfs ? wtf?

this is so out of context even if THEY believe its there karma but still would like some help, help them !

Its so frikkin easy to act upon the concept of karma from our western view, just say its their fault and everything is... and how dumb are you if you claim any religion is stupid ? dwarfs, damn !

the problem in india is (in my really constricted and limited views of there system) the whole caste system.

[samudra80]

an outdated christian documentary

[CzarinaCzarina]

what does it mean to believe in karma? the negative what? maybe to those who think this way, they may think these folks deserve it b/c of past lives, suffering as an exercise, it's appauling to those who are christian to see that kind of suffering. God help us, all of us.

[julzzzzzzzzzzz]

this this is a famous movie.... alongside africa blood and guts

[ztminhas]

believe me it ain't their karma...

[mykittierocks]

Wow, im suprised you guys have heard of this! I did buy my copy from the internet...its not TOO hard to find but I was first exposed to this documentary when I was a little girl, I found it at some hole in the wall Vietnamese video store..I just love it!

[shaneissohot]

Wow thanks for this.. it tells alot. My lecturer spoke about this documentary today during our tutorial and I decided to come and check it out on youtube first. Planning to go buy it soon

[PedroAlonsoLopez]

Interesting that you own this. Its a rare enough film I imagine these days though I am sure you can buy it online.
