Can India Save The ‘Dying' Ganga River? | Insight | Full Episode
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2021
- India's holiest river, 'The Ganga' has sustained and nourished hundreds of millions of people's lives and livelihoods through the centuries. But today, the river is facing a slow death. Over most of its length, the Ganga is dangerously polluted. Unplanned urban and industrial growth have led to the river system's abuse, turning it into a toxic stream at several points during its journey to the sea. The Indian government has launched a massive 'Clean Ganga' project to try and restore the river to its pristine condition. But can Prime Minister Modi save the river when several other leaders before him had failed?

Is there a way to help the family whom the father lost his job an has no food? Help as in donations? Does he have a ‘WhatsApp’ number?
those stakeholders will need to compromise soon because in 9 years if we dont get our temperature down, every country will be forced to lessen its carbon foot print.
gotta say, there are dead body parts in the river and people still live after bathing in it. their immunity is strong gotta tell ya.
Pls make a documentary again on the current situation of the rivers. I just saw a news report where it showed hundreds of Covid-19 death bodies are being thrown into river Ganges. Pls show us how is it affecting whole region and its ecology.
25:50 Yeah i also remember when the Ganges was clean. You could see the shiny rocks at the bottom. Yes its filthy now. Move the factories and sewage downstream then. An anyone who wants to pollute the water get them away from that area. Send them Miles away.
29:33 Who said it was the Government doing this? The government could redirect the sewage yes. However. They don't know what to do with it. They could sell the sewage to farmers. But they don't know that. They could move all Factories away from the river. But that would come at a 70% Job loss. So they need to have Trucks remove the chemical waste. Tell your government to provide Chemical dumping areas outside the city an stop ALL dumping in the water. People are dying from it.
Scientists and professors in India stated to the media that “Ganga river is too holy to be polluted”. India needs some serious f*cking help if they wish to clean up this river.
they are funded by Ruling govt bjp people are so blinded by religion science is completely joke on them . This north indian politics is destroying our country
As an Indian let me tell you people have been trying to confront these industrialists who release poorly treated waste water people have been trying to take helps of officials but it's all about money these industrialists are powerful enough to manipulate the government orders people, scientists and othere are aware too many in my town have minimised the rituals that includes harming the river one of our temple priest was shot dead when he raised voice 🙄
Yeah that’s the real problem here. This river will be cleaned up bc they’re so stuck in this mindset
NO expert ever said that. Stop spreading bs.
“The Ganga can clean itself.” That’s not how this works. THAT’S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS.
It can...but only without human presence
If left alone, it’s likely. Take for example the river Thames. It too was a polluted cesspool during the Victorian era. With time and environmentally friendly policy the river recovered.
If water flow stopes by garbage disposal it won't anymore.
Uh yes, thats how it works. If theres no humans polluting the river, it will eventually became clean again
@@bimasetyaputra8381 exactly
So it’s a “holy” river and some view it as a goddess yet they treat the river like garbage. Is that how you treat goddesses and holy things? The devotees should re-evaluate their actions.
For sure
you just nicked my tweet lol coudnt of said better

Bang on RaZeoniK. that's the state of most rivers in India.
@@KalpeshPatel78 Sadly it is. I really love India and its rich history,culture and beliefs, So its deeply saddening to see the ill-treatment that will render the river irreparable. I just wish that the day will never come when metal fences will be built around Ganga with signs that read "Warning Biohazard water"
I like how that guy says that the river is super polluted because of the industrial wastes, but then says that banning fishing is the "only solution" to stop people from eating poisoned fish... How about doing a good job of making the industries treat their wastes properly, rather than shitting on the most vulnerable members of your society? The way he says it's the "only solution" to ban fishing makes my blood boil.
I bet they can't do it because the government officials themselves are corrupt and will only receive money to shut their mouth.
The industries are run by businessmen who donate money to political parties. No government will act against them. India is a mess - people care more about religion and caste. They vote communal, right wing hatemongers to power, and then suffer.
Yeah... maybe stop the poisoning? I don't know, makes sense to me. 😎
He's taking money duh.
“Ganga is dying”
Bro it’s been dead. The revival process will take decades at this rate. The gov nor the people are doing anything to fix it

Is easy they communist , they know for a millions people and half is uneducated that rule that can only work ... first they control the number of birth , then if u dont obey the government u will send to jail ...if u corrupt u will send to death sentence ... thats why it work ...
I could swear I saw someone's foot floating in the river in most countries that would be a crime scene.
they either cremate the cadaver with 40 Kg. of wood or, they tied the cadaver with a bag of sand and dump it into the river in Varanasi. it gave me the chills just watching the people bathe and drink the #^^ water. 😁😁
it's kind of wierd also for other indians. Not everybody lives along the ganga
crime scene indeed 😂😂😂
It was left over from a creamation
@@plasmaboy4513 yeah...and I have never seen a dead person thrown into a river like that..only ashes are immersed after cremation.

I know right
But of course if it's a goddess she can clean it herself right? all powerful beings....

Yeah all i thought is indians are smart.
Same here in bali, the case was like this
Many years ago we don't use plastic to wrap things etc. So we throw away the offerings to the river and sea and there will be no issue bc everything is degradable back then. It was also not so many people back then so nature can keep up cleaning itself. So now it's becoming a culture, and we're being introduced to plastic. It was never been a concern until recently. It's hard to change people but there's still time for us
Ever thought the river was dirty due to their skin?
I can smell the spirituality.
Lol
🤮🤮
Imagine the smell in that place!

Yeah I have completly lost faith about my nation
Not their environment. our environment. It's not like it will just stay in india, it leads to the sea
This is disgusting. I can't even finish watching the doc. Hope India starts to value its natural resources more.
Already polluted.
well, they need the money to first build enough toilets for their population and I'm afraid not much is left for cleaning their dirty rivers.
They won’t until it’s too late. The number one place in the world for child brides, child rapes and human trafficking. Let it pollute itself into extinction.
it's their godess actually
@@spacedandy7555 🙄 what do you expect for a country robbed for 200 years to be like the UK or the West
Superstitions,ignorance,corrupted officials are the main cause.
Industrial and household waste is the biggest cause.
And I would rather blame the general population more.
@@kartiksinghrathore9618 Or the urban population
Even the most corrupted officials will be affected by that dirty water or anything that was affected by that dirty water, somehow, as long as they live in India. So, it doesn't make sense? Like, the officials of Varanasi, UP, are wanting to clean it but other state officials are blocking it or what ? I'm curious to know
the root cause should be democracy, I don't see even a single case of developing countries has good results after embracing democracy, even once!
@@hynoor7254 indeed.

I have stopped by Varanasi about 15 years ago during my trip but couldn't dare to jump in the river since I was cowered by the color and smell.
You is wise.
To clean up the ganga river, you need a pragmatic leader. First you close all the factories that discharged toxic into river. Provide proper sewage system. Prohibit religious bathing and dead bodies thrown into the river.
No one throws death bodies into the river. The people throw the ashes of the dead into the river.
@@Abhishek-sr2pu if families can not afford wood for the funeral fire the remains are wrapped and thrown holus bolus into the river, otherwise India wouldnt be looking for alternatives to this issue. There are plenty of videos showing this issue.
@@Abhishek-sr2pu dude literally said they throw portions of dead bodies into the river 15:24 then you can see a detached leg in the river...
@@Abhishek-sr2pu dude don't be so ignorant.
@@Abhishek-sr2pu bruh...
What use are nuclear weapons when you can't even treat the raw sewage on your rivers. Biggest problem in India is corruption the government makes lots of promises but nothing gets done.
They don't care about any goddess. It is fancy lip service.
While they chew pan, and spit, no higher spiritual awareness can enter their tongue.
The only remedy is one that they adamantly refuse to accept.

@Prajwal Devanga i tried teaching people in the area and kids also but it never success, for them keeping a house clean is more important than their street they will not keep garbage in their home and wait for the garbage truck rather they throw it outside, and at night i hear people throwing packs pf garbage from 2nd or 3rd floor balcony they'll not wait for the morning.and are so lazy to come down and
As an Indian, I want the government to be more strict on this issue. In our West Bengal State of India many people used to defecate in the open but the government made it a rule that if anyone does that he/she will be jailed. And the result is 99% have toilets in their home and doesnt defecate in open.This shows that if government is strict then change is possible. I think in upcoming years it will coming become more clean.
i can smell u through the screen kumar
After taking a dump they dump it in the river. I'm I right Kumar.
Don't lie Kumar....those toilets have no septic tank....think Kumar....think.!!!
@@indiancowpissdrinker7151 😀😁😂😊😉....but Kumar just take a bath in the river !!!
Its not just Ganga... its all the rivers of India, which will be changed into open sewer in next 10 years...

Wait, people do not consider that situation of the river a "sewer" yet? OMG. Imagine if it wasn't "Sacred"...
@@Kiyoone
Don't eat seafood when you are at India😅
Ganga will never die until there is Himalayan mountains range. It is more better than 6 years ago.
Lol. You don't know how many rivers flowing in India. Lots of rivers are super clean.
Educate the people first
Otherwise even if you clean it up
The citizens will just continue to throw trash and whatnot in there
Poverty can never be the reason of being dirty and ignorance
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@Angelic Soul...your words are few but they are deeply profound. Very insightful. Thanks for sharing and please be safe 🙏
Poverty should not be an excuse, but it is Almost always the reason for terrible things.
Poverty is not an excuse, it is literally the reason. Access to education is a privilege. So is access to running water. I can't believe how many people take them for granted these days.
True...Countries such as indonesia are poor too..But they dont throw rubbish like this...I feel ashame abt our indians...I wonder when our people will change
Imagine when someone poop or pee at the river. Then people drink and bath with it.
They also cremate bodies in the river🤷♂️😬😬
@@suflateef2049 actually they do, part of the ashes are wash on River. An average of 200-300 DAILY! Families who can't afford cremation ritual have their love ones body dump on the river.
@@suflateef2049 lol
So... Oregon Trail Rivers 2.0..... They did the same thing on a smaller scale. Most people used to do this, but a lot of groups eventually realized that it's a horrible idea.
@@suflateef2049 This river doesn't cover whole of India.

@@abhinavsumesh2549 that's natural, but chemical that pollute river can cause health hazard.

Because of these people
Rip Ganga 🙏
This is a riveting documentary. As many people of India as possible need to watch it. Give those Bollywood films a rest, and watch this documentary.
As for the cremations that take place daily by the river, sometimes as many as 200 daily, that won't stop anytime soon. But after seeing the floating half leg (15:38), I was mortified. It's bad enough all sorts of hellish things are dumped in the river, the body parts just finalized my opinion of these so called religious practices, as well as those companies that dump their poisons.
I don't believe the Goddess Ganga had ever realized, nor had in mind as to how horrible her river would be treated. Pristine water coming from the Himalayas, is a gift and a blessing. Yet, so many are continuing to treat this river like a cesspool.
I do have faith that things will eventually change. India has overcome so much as it is. There are dedicated Indians that are dedicating their lives for these changes, they will happen faster if they have greater support from it's citizens. The future of generations to come deserve it. Anyway, right or wrong, these are my thoughts on the matter.
Don't worry cat fish took care of the floating leg
@@AnusheelSharma yuuuuckk!
@@boiivilla6327 I actually forgot, water should be clean enough for atleast catfish to thrive, I live on the banks of ganges and can tell you all the catfish are dead, nothing can survive in dirty waters.
anybody can look up old videos about the pollution of this river, I watched them many years ago but this report is new. what does this tell you about India? the internal politics is just all talk and never get anything done.
this video is just propaganda nothing else.....many many stp plants have been constructed in recent years and hundreds of seawage pipelines has been stopped going in ganga...only few have remains and those also will soon be stopped ...all the seawage will be stopped by the end of 2022 or 2023....they are just showing few seawage pipes which have remain ..they arent showing seawage pipes which has been stopped going in ganga
When I saw this video I started thinking what we can do to bring Ganges cleaned while then in order to find any proposals from you guys as a orientation and motivation started hovering over the comments section and suddenly found u guys ,seems you love your country so much you can not even encounter hardest truth which eventually and slowly taking this huge civilization under ignorance ,so as a fellow citizen of the same country demanding to raise voice until things get fixed and half way done simply not acceptable and hope u will also start to take actions soon it could be from small level.

it will never be solve unless they start to address the basic problems of society
Which is 🔝 greedyness
They never learnt thats..i think its more important religion than healthy life..thats they want till now...always talking talking and doing nothing to save the river...
open defecation, that's the real issue
They blame it all on Pakistan 🤣

Some traditions and beliefs are simply not sustainable
It's the companies that are openly draining their wastes in the river. Sad that the govt has done nothing to stop it.
@Theral Fought Industry and Spirituality could work together to save the river but no one wants to do anything.
@Theral Fought There is an another way, which would need an influential religious or spiritual leader ( a hindu leader) to create a new ritual of keeping rivers clean. As rivers are called as goddess,he could exploit natural disasters as punishment from the Gods for destroying nature (may not work on everyone but fanatics would instantly believe) and in order to redeem one must stop polluting rivers or stop deforestation. I know today most Indians are not that religious but this sounds wrong but during hard times people do embrace religion and may change. I know I am being optimistic and perhaps you are right.
@Theral Fought but these people are over religious how can it deaden their souls ?
@M1 India Every one has a role to play in this pollution, can be less or more. But political will is lacking. Like one person said in the video, all the programs to clean are just money making machines.
Any river that runs through a human city is terribly polluted, think the Thames or even the Singapore river. It take years of cleaning and social awareness to change peoples habit.
yes but most rivers have been cleaned now in 2021...or were never as bad as this. even rivers in the poorest african countries isn't this gross

Heavily polluted rivers were common in Western countries like the US, England and France when they industrialized. They've only begun cleaning up their acts starting in the 1960s. Even today, swimming in rivers like the Hudson, Mississippi, Delaware, Potomac, Ohio, etc. is prohibited or advised against near major American cities because sewer systems are designed to dump directly into them when become overwhelmed.
Yeah but they don't worship the river
Seems like pollution is inevitable side-effect of industrialisation

@Red joe For someone who wants to find bad in everything, each and every thing around him seems trash but for one who sees the good in even bad things, everything becomes positive. I live in India and I've seen both its side. From lush green forests in the north-east to mountains in the North. From deserts in the west to deltaic forests in the east. From the busy urban life of metropolitan cities to the calmness in the mountains of Himachal and Uttarakhand, India is packed with emotions. Yes, lack of proper waste disposal system, proper drainage and poverty are major issues but they are being overcome (though slowly) but progress is being mode. Can't just lose hope, you know!
The whole place is too filthy for human habitation.
Perhaps filth builds up your immunity against diseases. I read in the news that Covid is over in India. Their new infections are down 90%, people are lockdown fatigued and carrying on as normal.
It is lol..visiting india is the greatest regret of my life
@HoSayHoSay yes, what did you expect in a densely populated country of almost 1.5 billion where social distancing is a challenge. They had a spike but now the cases and deaths are declining. India did not suffer a second wave like other countries. Their new cases have declined by 90% since the initial spike. Even countries who seem to have covid under control now will see a spike in cases as soon as they let their guard down.

I wish no ill on India and its people, and problems like this sadden me. India needs to solve its own issues and improve the lives of its own people before bickering with its neighbours.
@Lightning Muhking
A professional bickerer....
Wow!
@Cheems Doge oh. How ironic
They literally spend a huge load of money by stationing half a million soldiers in Kashmir, and some of them have started occupying public marriage halls there. They are obsessed with the idea of "national pride" and "owning the libs"
These politicians talk rubbish the higher class owns factory and dispose their waste in Ganga
Very true
What Humans have done to the Ganges is a shameful crime against the Earth.
In this day and age. And taking in the facts that India has the 3rd most billionaires. Absolutely no excuse for not having the correct raw sewage treatment systems and to dump chemicals else were..........
Idiots billionaires
@@itzme.7389 they aren't idiots it's not their job to make a proper drainage system, it's government's job kiddo
Truly inspiring story. I personally don't believe in religion but messages from the doctor. Tugs right on my heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 . With much love and respect
Why arent they even want to preserved their holy river? Wouldn't their religious prayers going to be 100x better if the river is more cleaner? or is it the opposite?
Mindset needs to change else we would have the same story 5 years later too.
They all are busy blaming china,mughals , British ,pakistan for their condition 🤦🏼
The hypocrisy of them saying the river is holy and is a goddess but treats it like garbage.
I feel sorry for those poor animals. They deserve better.😭
I feel sorry for the dirt
It deserves better space
Mankind can travel to the moon / But we can't clean up a river ???????
You're wrong, mankind can clean a river and had done it. It's the people of India that hasn't done it...
@@kaox44 No it is the region the river is in.Is indias danger zone.It is the overpopulated region.you ahve never been to south india with a literacy of 98%.

Kerala - 98 %
Andhra Pradesh - 75 % ( there was a seperation from telangana )
Telangna - 80 %
Orissa - 78 %

Youth literacy in south India is ( 95 %)
On 3 % of population lives in poverty in south india

South india life expectancy is higher than The U.S
South India youth literacy is higher than America
South India slum population,and homless population is less than U.S
South India population is = 435 M
Which is much higher than U.S population
Periodt
@@crazykeejan6981 ok nice but are you sure it has 96% literacy rate?
So sad 😞 😥 we need to save the river Ganga....
It's the life line of India 🇮🇳
Not only your holy Ganga. You should clean all the rivers. There are other polluted rivers beside Ganga. The reason why the holy Ganga is getting most of the attention is because it is the one of the biggest river in India.
Judging by what is shown in this report. India not only has industrial polluted rivers but also garbage floating in it.
Too late my friend....its over....the river is already mixed with mud....no longer pure H20.
It's alright, the glacier providing the water will dry up soon & you'll be left with mud, trash, bodies, bones and sewage to clean up much easier once it begins to rot & stink.
CNA, please make the same documentary for the indonesian river. We face the same problem here. But the act is so less than it should be
@Red joe brother the video has 68 k views and most of them are indians and only a few comment they are the one who don't accept unlike many like me
Just commented so that could passify you as you seem to be concerned well-wishers
Ada kok yg di liput. Cari aja citarum river
@@idoji341 iya, komentar saya sebelum adanya liputan ttg citarum. Progress nya ternyata lumayan. Liputan pertama di tahun 2018 mengenaskan soalnya
At least they've made progress to clean up the river
@@Tololsapiens yeah the government actually took the issue seriously
50 years and no progress.
I think ur a British. So Can u shut the fcuk bro.

@@hisham2k5 we can't unite by supporting divide creating party.
India can't even take care of the unemployment problem, how are they going to become a real superpower? It's fragile.
India can be a superpower if we count from the back to the front of the line using filth, poverty, corruption, unemployment, and hunger as criteria....lol
India is capable of superpower below the feet....
Sssshhh my India is already a SuperPooper
But china have seen the biggest starvation in the world in recent times but it's now a superpower how can it be a superpower

Other people :
india should fix their rivers
INDIANS :
noooo we are one of most advanced countries in the world
we are have one of the biggest economy in the world
we have the 4th largest military .
indians are rich .
indians are smart
Every Indians YT comments :
-Most of Google employees are Indians

Hindu temples should not pay the taxes to govt....that money they must spend to clean the river 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
there's no tax on temples .. temples are most corrupted trusts in India. They are the baton of Castism in India as well.
Governments are jockeying to manage temples, (take over the treasury). Where there is profit, it is sure the government wants a slice of the pie.)
In a sad way, this is actually a perfect developing country in capitals’ eyes. A huge population supports production and consumption. An inefficient government system that cannot address social problems effectively. It is strong but riddled with problems so it cannot really pose real threats to existing world order......... god help us all...........
It,s not a river it,s biggest toilet in the world , who said india don,t have toilets
I don't know when people will be aware of the consequences of their mistakes.
If ganga river doesn't last in the coming years, i am sure people will shift to another river and preach it like a goddess and that river will also die
Lets hope that gov knows that Ganga is the life force of India, its culture, its beliefs
Unpopular opinion: everyone should do their part in cleaning the river instead of blaming the government or each other. No one is innocent and Its a collective effort to clean the river
Nah they'll just blame the government and keep on with their superstition while ruining a good river
Guys... Indians english are REALLY hard to understand... please... put subtitles
They talk so fast
Agreed... Many people do not see such documentaries and that too in English.. This should reach every single citizen,it's difficult to visualise and understand what is really happening. This should also be advertised at a mass level
It's alot of fancy word jugglery, they have become just as expert in that as in condemning their rivers.
*y'all need massive reform on education & infrastructure for the poor so you can teach them about hygiene and the effects of overpopulation (India is 3xs **_smaller_** than US but with 4xs the population). stop the unplanned urban development and give these people affordable housing. and put more regulations on corrupt industries from use the river as their toxic waste dump*
Tfw there’s a nearby river that locals consider cursed so almost no one touches it and thus it’s ironically pristinely clean
Woww,,
Water is source of live, but not in india.
The Indian news network Wion just announced that India just developed a covid19 vaccine called Hinduvac using fresh snow from the Himalayas and holly water from the Ganga River. The Indian government plans to vaccinate its population with Hinduvac by summer
Your comments are so funny. 😆
It is true.... funny but true...just turn your TV to watch Indian news by Wion.
@@santopaz7068 Please don’t watch WION. It spreads negative energy to you.
@@user-dr9hu6ss6w Haha so true.... Wion is anti-China and spreads fake news about China all day long.... Wion is upset because China is now a superpower and India is a super poopoo country....
They should follow rules like here in Japan
Thank you for making this documentary and opening our eyes.
If any goverment has really done something from past so many years this stage would have not reached ...This should have more visibility ,mass reach ..and people should understand what they are giving to future generations .
millions of hindus use Ganga as toilet
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST DEMOCRACY AND THE WORLD'S MOST BACKWARDS!
Now you just being an a-hole. Next u will say same about Africa.
the short answer is NO. As is, India doesn't have enough toilets for its people, sewage treatment plants to treat the raw sewage, crematoria to burn the cadavers. Kudos to the people who bathe and drink the water from the Ganga River.
Someone is really still living in late 2000s and early 2010s. Check the sanitation rate again.
@HoSayHoSay if I felt genuine curiosity I would have shared the source but to trolls I would just say wait and watch.
So that's how they treat their goddess huh.
I love you dear
@HoSayHoSay yes hypocrisy at its finest.. hehe
India can't even save its people how is it going to save the river Ganga?
Ya, Chinese always said Learn how to walk before you fly.
They don't even know they can't save their people, just as they don't know what a clean river is. Totally clueless.

As individuals anywhere,we should always remember that we are borrowing the environment from our children !!!!
So true! in other words, we should always remember we aren't the landlords of the Earth but just renters who have to keep the house clean to pay their rent.
Earth may suspend our life style or terminate human kind if rent are overdue.
It's a bit like the 1980s in China..At that time, China was just beginning to reform and open up. At that time ，China was a third world country.
@Lightning Muhking Lee Kuan Yew said: no one can change India!!!The Indian government doesn't like globalization..... This has seriously hindered India's development..China has chosen to support globalization in the past.China's economy is developing very fast because China has chosen to support globalization. Enterprises that dare not compete with enterprises all over the world have no future.
