Quarantined in Rishikesh today. Watching Ma Ganga flow from a window ledge. In the morning light the emerald green mixes with the pink sun, twirling in vortexes. Thanks for the great video. Lets all make mental offerings to her, not put plastic floating candles into her.
जय माँ गंगा 🥰🙏🙏
I like the way you represent our ganga river as ma ganga... 🙏❤️
These western media outlets think differently that Indian who are almost 7000 years of known history do not know anything.
They say killing the river and I am sad at their ignorance and not sure why they make such documentaries
you can see the river in documentary in your country and why you come to watch the river in physical form.
offering is to make some changes in personal life and give satisfaction. Ganga can give life to people and it will never die (as the author refers many times) I feel very bad when they use those words.
Bro what’s with all the yappin
22:58 All the water systems should be sacred because they all are scarce... Well said.👏
India is so interesting from a distance. It seems almost like the center of the old world.
it is
well said
This river could have been the most beautiful river in the world but see what we did to it.😩
Right
"we" I'm from united States💀

Largely sympathetic, unbiased video. People blaming Pete MacBride of being biased are themselves wrong. True, Hinduphobia exists but this one was not.
chutiya hai tu.. wo yamuna ko ganga bol rha h, and tajmahal k paas k pani ko ganga jal bol rha hai
@津波うま味 yes they are!
@津波うま味 Yes we are the dirtiest people. Thanks for you help in understanding ourselves. We would remain grateful to you
@@DD-rl7xo Just in case your quote is a sarcasm, then, I just read this quote thought to share, in case it rings some bell? "It is only an error in judgement to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to it when discovered".
Yeah like national sport cricket. 😂
I'm from Malaysia and I just visited ganges on September 2022, super clean. It's very unlike the ganges shown in this documentary. I even went to the Kasi Viswanathan temple, it's Soo beautiful. I felt blessed to be there. Wish to go there again.

We always hurt the ones we love but I believe Mother Ganga will again be pure.
Haha you are funny
Yes 🙏
I used to work as a whitewater jet boat captain on the upper Ganges River up stream from Rishikesh 20 something years ago. More than once we came across guys dynamite fishing! Sort of making a Bang Lasi of the holly river. I am one of those people who found great adventure in India and do love the place but pollution is pollution and the river is a mess below Rishikesh. With the ever increasing population outstripping everything and replacing it with garbage, nothing is actually going to get better. You young people get your butts in gear, go see and live whats left before it's gone!
Wonderful video. It is worth remembering that the Ganga river has also been - mainly through agriculture and trade - one of the key reasons that India has been among the materially wealthiest countries in the world over the past 3000 years. Patna (Pataliputra) was the capital of the glorious Mauryan and Gupta empires that wowed the ancient Greeks. Later, Bengal became the wealthiest region in the world during the Mughal times (as noted by the historian William Dalrymple). All thanks to the resources of Ganga.

I watched parts 1 and 2 - and want to thank you Mr. Pete McBride - for doing the footwork and intense research to bring appreciation and closeness to both our ecology and human race. You are great and I really enjoyed this documentary. If I were a wealthy person - I would donate to this cause - but sees being that I am not - I can only hope that it will effect others that are and able - as it did myself.

Very nice video, well researched well photographed and created....every Indian must watch this.
I am indian, grown in North India and can see things of Video everyday close to Ganga.
River Yamuna, a tributary of Ganga, is just used to drain the waste of factory and city in its bank, could be Delhi or Agra, it is a same story.
PM Modi is working towards cleaning it, not sure how much he can succeed, as Hindu beliefs are major factor in Ganga's pollution.
Note: Video is about Ganga, don't worry if fact about Cricket is wrong. You should appreciate the research of presenter/Nat Geo of Hindu believes. His effort to collect video and photographs form Kanpur leather factory or Agra or remote part of Himalaya.
modi maha chuttya hai.. wo kya karegaa
@@cnitevedi4832 sahi bola bhai...... bas hindutva karke idhar ke anpad logo ko phasata hai....
@@ianthomas5895 Hello its 70% is already clean come and visit Welcome to varanasi
So times I fell so proud to be Hindu 😌 just can't express how blessed I fell
appreciated sir thank you for giving your precious time and for giving us more knowledge
wow expect more such videos with more details and much powerful on India
Great and truthful presentation. First we Indians should have courage to accept the fact. He is not defying Hindu religion nor India. Whatever he mentioned is a hard hitting truth. He mentioned cricket as a national game in the context that it is being played widely in the country. All Indians kindly accept the fact and try to contribute cleaning the river in some way. I think preventing water resources is more sacred and important than preventing religion. I think without religion human can live (we did during ancient times) but not without water and ecosystem👍👍

They do not understand their own country like the latest cyclone bomb in Buffalo NY and it killed 40 people in a day.
think if that gets worst for few days.
Yeah ganga is quite polluted river... I think people should take steps at least not to pollute it if they can't clean it...
Jot jossan correct ......
They are already doing it
thanks for the tip
Before It was but now it is clean and pure
Mike Tython's Lisp is the earth flat
Being an Indian and seeing the harsh reality is really painful. Hoping someday somehow Ma Ganga be a real goddess in every aspects.
Amazing sights. Amazing sounds. I hope they clean their amazing river system. Water is life.
Incredible India!!! They have a lot to learn.
Great efforts Pete McBride, would show is video to my geology class.
Great Documentary , lets bring down the pollution in Ganges, Namoh Gange
Such a impressive project, and so much detail in just this short lecture, well done and great photographs. Superb
Thank you for the great effort...I hope more awareness comes because of people like you
Hey Pete, it's great to see what came of your travels! This is a wonderful exposé on Maa Ganga. Thank you.

Eye opening! We must realise ganges is sick and a lot of rituals are spoiling it. its the most sacred river and me must contribute to keep it that way.
its not rituals but industries dumping trash in it.
We want a Part 3. India realised it's mistake and now we are improving. Thanks for this wonderful video.
Where can I get the part 1 ?
loved your research brother and your last message in this video.....that all water on earth is holly and should be protected
I wish that there should more people around the globe like you to make mother earth most beautiful
thank you for the awareness you created in me
A wonderful documentary. That aside, cricket is not the national game of India (12:10).
bullshit
Also "Tehri Dam " is not the largest in Asia ! It's highest ! (4:49)
Great video ! The makers of this film are empathetic about the problem of polluted Ganges ...which is how it should be.
Fantastic documentary!!!!!
The awesome one ...
Hats off guys...
Thank you for a great audio visual narration 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Relatable amazing love National Geographic a lot of garbage here in RUclips thank you ,more videos like this
Ganga which is known as Padma in Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Yes, it actually splits into bhagirathi hooghly in dhuiyan, murshidabad, West Bengal, India
Thank you for your effort.
great job..!!
Please now take part 3 of ganga
Share this video please its all about a beautiful river dying.
gr8 Job....All the very best
The river near Tajmahal is not Ganga but it is Yamuna river !
Being indian we can't show people the mirror. Eco system or environment hardly matter of worries when it comes to relegion. Bitter but the truth.
That's the Yamuna River near Taj Mahal not the Ganga.
Great show, thanks.
BTW: _Does anyone notice Mr.McBride looks like Michael Waltrip?_
I was thinkin john cougar mellencamp
What a documentary
Overwhelming
great video. i learrned so much.
But its yamuna in front of agra, which meets ganga at allahabad
he does not know anything and making another people dumb there
You both are dumb like rest of Indians, he was making a comparison and also clearly tells afterwards Yamuna
Hey, Indians, Nepalis, Hindus, Buddhists and Jains alike. Check out my RUclips channel. You will like it. If your wondering why I speak in an Indian accent, my friend Yatendra struggles to understand American accents
@@Wortzilla what does 'oxygen returns to a safe level again' means?
3:20
I am more interested about silent Bob.
silent baba*
The man's t-shirt at 12:23 says it all.
These rituals have been since human being came, i think not the rituals but the industries damage the water.
Yes I agree it's not the ritual but household waste also ruin the river
There is a big problem that I see already at minute 14 in this documentary. The host mentions the Ganges in front of Agra (Taj Mahal), and although I have never been to India, I atleast know that in front of Agra you have teh Yamuna river, NOT the Ganges. True the Yamuna is a tributarie of the Ganges, but treating one as the other is to me a lack of professionalism. Not to mention all of his data might be "contaminated" (laugh and pund intendes), since he speaks about the river restoring itself, yet ofcourse it can restore itself if we consider the point of entry into the Ganges, NO???
Interesting video.
Excellent closing note -> All rivers should be treated sacred , because they are scarce ...
India has some of craziest places on the planet you can be.
Its one of the most beautiful places for me...
Only in india i m really alive
Alex you must have a disgusting life to like india
if you don t understand india you shouldn't talk about it
@@alexicasalajan You are either way too rich or way too nonchalant or way too ascetic. Normal people see glaring issues being put to back burner all the time. I would like to ask you, what kind of personality you have? What is your background & what drives you?
Outstanding! It would be very easy for us to point fingers. Just make sure to acknowledge the 3 pointing back at us because we are worse in our pollution. Our EPA did not exist before 1970 and it took tragedies and global condemnation to get us moving.
Well as the unbiased foreigner pointed out, he british n muslim tanneries which "WE" have allowed no doubt, hence we should unite n make sure Mr Modi delivers his promise on rectifying our past n present mistakes
The respect that I feel for the river and the fact that I exist, life and sacredness of these natural systems I want to visit the ganges so bad
Amazing documentation
Very nice and inspiring work. Loved it.
but missed a lot spectacular views of river ( another side of story is weak ).
ganges doesnot flow near kolkata ... it flows into bangladesh where its name changes to padma river and in bangladesh also river brahmputra river empties itself and eventually both padma and brahmputra meet (so there is technically a "prayag" in bangladesh too minus religious veneration) ... before ganges flows into bangladesh part of it is diverted by farakkha barrage and it is this diverted water that is fed into hoogly river that flows near kolkata
It’s been 6 years and nothing has changed
Any updated videos post pandemic ganga ?
Great job Nat Geo.. Very well made, some clarifications that i'll like to make since western mind thinks differently than eastern:
1) God in east doesn't refer to a physical form.. God is more closer to energy rather than western god
2) That story about river originating from Shiva's hair is more dialectical.. please dont take it literally. Most Indian history is in form of such stories since stories are said to be keep listeners engrossed than facts
3) You don't just take a dip and clesr all your sins. To attain moshka is a long process, taking the dip helps you but is not a cheat to heaven..
I have a long list to go, but then this comment will be few pages long..
Great video 👌🏻🙏
This really helps with homework if you are in any grade and high school also college
Nice meme
🎀 very informative
Incase anyone was as confused as me, he says around the 5 minute mark the dam produces 200,000 MW of power, its actually 1000, and they are planning to increase capacity to 2000.
U r right..bro, because I live in Agra.
very good docu :D
The speaker mentioned that NITRATE is blown in from China.
This is incorrect:
The air current is blowing from South over the Himalaya to China's Tibet year round, there is no industrial center within thousands of miles from Indian border.
What an incredible video. It seems like such a mystical place. Very well presented.
There's a mistake ,the river which you are testing in Agra near The Taj Mahal, is Yamuna river not the Ganga.
i gess he says that
Yeah who cares?
Yamuna is a tributary of Ganges, everything ultimately ends up going into it.
@@aakankshasharma9812 they converge at Prayagraj ..i think
Yamuna is a tributary of Ganges River
very eye opening baba very nice baba
very nice .. all he said is true
amazing, thnx
The Ganges is the most sacred river in the world 🙏🙏
great documentary...
Mr Pete the yamuna river at agra is a tributary of the ganges from gangotri river and the yamuna comes from yamunotri river the river yamuna is highly polluted in delhi and when it comes to mathura a refinery is there so agra doesn't pollute river majorly cause there are very few industries in agra and a ban in agra for polluting industries
in agra its Yamuna ..
Lovely ✨
Our ancestors, the ancient vedic Hindus worshipped rivers, because we believed that God is omnipresent, he is present in his creation & river, a source of water, life, agriculture for the ancient man is sacred, it is a manifestation of God in form of nature. Our rituals have developed through ages to honor the existence of these rivers, pay homage to them and respect them, however the modern & medieval man shifted from the real rituals to polluting these rivers by throwing their waste in these rivers, our rituals & prayers go in vain if we do not respect the very existence of Ganga & keep polluting it. The Government should declare our rivers as national natural heritage and levy heavy fine for polluting these rivers. We need to save them before the last of these water sources die off due to human waste.
where i could find the part 1 ?
Wow
Where is the part 1 of this video?
I am trying to use this video for an essay on Ganges pollution but many of the graphs have no units labeled. :(
someone help whats this video mainly about im in class right now and i need to write it in my book
This video stated most of the facts about how much the rivers are polluted and I like to say some points which are It is the Yamuna river which flow through Taj Mahal, Agra. They tested water purity for Yamuna river and Hockey is National sport of India not cricket
Any1 from school lol! Great video btw :)
very nice.. we should think about it.. & do somthing to get over it,,,
Yes we can think how to throw more dead body so that the water b more holy
In Agra in near Taj Mahal, it is Yamuna River not Ganga River
chasing rivers 1&2 were well.I enjoyed 1 the best. Funny thing tho why does everybody point out the National game is wrong, big deal in Canada it's YO-YO. I am happy.
9:14 It's not Ganga It's the Yamuna.
If you look closely at the oxygen graph, you can see that they mention in the x axis labels that Agra was on the Yamuna.
Also he says that out loud multiple times.
woah
my state uttarakhand muaaaah
17:41 it's called 'Durga puja' not durja puga
why can't I get the sound to work?
This is the west in AWE of the story of the GOD in Sanatan Dharma and also making sense of the how the river gets back to life without hurting it's devotees who might unknowing hurt the mother like a baby kicks and nicks when getting nursed by it's mother..Ganga
ders yamuna in agra
national sport is hockey
Please upload its hindi version
Not a bad documentary, but it will always be difficult to explain to Western audiences the subtleties of India. The contrasts between cultures are highlighted by the different approach to death. In the US death is hidden, sanitised and feared. In India death is a far more visible and integral part of daily life. Something unavoidable, not something to be denied and escaped.
@jithu krishna kuchh bhi. Bas likhna hai to kuchh bhi utpatang likh Kar bhaag jaoge? Matlab kya hai Jo Likha hai uska?
What do you mean? Western cultures don't mourn when someone dies? Only Indians mourn, when someone dies? Westerners don't have emotions or love in their lives? What do you mean by death is a part of daily life in India?
@@Sonu-tz2js no no... in hinduism death is an important part of life
Birth and death are connected, because soul is eternal
Birth is gaining materisltic body
Death is gaining a high spiritual knowledge till it gain moksha
