@Rage Plus Hey Buddy, Please Stop your useless hate! In the devotion of Modi donot keep on refering states of India as gaddar, right? And nobody wants your certification as for being Indian.
@Rage Pluswhy gaddars? yes our men are very strong but at the same time honourable..they respect women n treat them well,which others should learn. Our women are also very independent and strong ..The men are the head and the women the neck each playing their own role. That's why shillong is safe for women.
Appreciate even the Khasi Students Union youth who took part in the protests and prevented the mining company from continuing their dirty deed to destroy the forests and nature. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

1974, due to sanctions on India, the uranium power plants stopped/ failed. We lost 20 yrs. Throughout India the govt of India displaced our people for building dams and for industrial purpose. In the initial period it was with no proper compensation. Its the sacrifices of those silent sufferers that we see a developed India. In this case they were even offered at par with corporate buyouts. Not to forget minerals are the asset of any country. I am a second generation of such displaced unpaid sacrificial Indian.

If you reject an offer of 45 core to lease your land just to protect the nature and your freedom that means you are still human and this capitalistic world has not corrupted you. Hats off for this bravery and rest in peace ✌️
Protect nature? Hahaha You know? mining those uranium can be more beneficial for environment then not mining it even a small chunk of uranium gives big difference to environment safety (now pls don't ask me how mining uranium is more good for environment, if you don't know the reason then please don't do this type of comments.)

They are not developing the area because govt. is waiting quietly for people to leave that region and move somewhere else. So that it can be easier for the govt. to start the mining again. 🙏

Strength in your heart is more powerful than anything, she stood for her land, for nature, she cared about the earth when most of us has forgotten. All the courage she have I wish all we should learn.
This is another form of colonialism, a true character of Indian Government since 1947. They are mining resources from Meghalaya to a power plant of another state, movement of resource from a Poor State to a richer one. Instead if they would have set up the plant in Meghalaya, I might not have felt to intervene, but it's the same story. Why are coastal States getting taxes and development on the raw materials that weren't mined there. They did this with Bihar, now Meghalaya. Good employment opportunities will go to Maharashtra on the materials from Meghalaya. This is a true form of Colonialism. I have no stand on mining Uranium, it's there so someone is gonna get it. But people of Meghalaya are placing their life on stake for low income so that development occurs in Maharashtra.
You wrote the story of every eastern state in India robbed of its minerals for other state development.....sad state, but good to hear a strong positive outcome herry, the system is in the wrong here
If all the people in the state stand united, something can be done . United we stand. It's easy to preach, I know, but once started and persistent, changes can be made. We can learn from the poor old Meieid Spillity Lyndoh Langarin herself. My wholehearted love and respect for this lady . ❤️❤️❤️
Inspiring story. May her legend live and may the people of Meghalaya be blessed and live safe, away from the greed of the money hungry corporates and politicians...
She should be awarded with the highest award in the country and the World because no one like this lady has been defended their own land by rejecting a Billion of rupees to save her new generations.
After seeing what happened in Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear disaster and the long term effects of such disasters, I have zero interest in Nuclear Energy. It may be a source of clean energy but one stroke of bad luck/accident and the entire world is shaken to its core. And unlike pollution from burning coal and other fuels, the I'll effect of nuclear radiation are invisible, the fear of the unknown is a 1000 times more terrifying.
Exactly....The T7 team and Mr. Tarun Bharti in particular needs to be appreciated to have the guts enough to bring this out to the public. Journalists are not exactly my favourites but this is responsible journalism... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Hats off to Mr. Tarun Bharti and The Quint for this coverage. 🙋
To breathe Fresh air, drink fresh water, able to breed domestic animals, and to live a happy live without all the negative side effcts of mining uranium..including money.. is way more better 😁
You are one half ass fellow to compare a uranium with coal🤣🤣🤣.Dis is India,there no proper equipments for mining especially here,dats why many people they oppose it bcuz with out safety measure,they might get harm from high exposure to gamma radiation which leads to cancer.People who don't live in dat area know how to talk shit huh🤣🤣
So the government totally deprives the residence of Domniasiat from basic human rights just because they said no to mining and because they have few number of votes? What logic is that? These representatives are for the people, chosen by the people. Everyone is entitled to proper drinking water, electricity and roads and quality education. This issue should be addressed at the earliest.
@Atheist everyone criticise developing nations like india china where as most of western countries producing more pollution than these developing countries so stop criticising government in everything it's people are equally wrong in delhi most poush area everyone has 2 vehicle in their home
We need to acknowledge given the density and population nuclear plants and mining has sever repercussion. She is a living inspiration for us that "freedom must be for all and so is the resources...this is simple a neglect and a punishment for going against the government
bullshit "given the density and population nuclear plants and mining has sever repercussion" just move away from the area simple as that, india will not survive madam because of such mentality we are fucked in nuclear technology, look at china or USA, don't cry then if you don't get electricity in near future FREEDOM IS NOT EVERYTHING
This is a good example of how governments which are elected by people behave when you question or go against their bad projects. So should vote for betterment of yourself and not theirs.
Good story " the Quint". This like hidden truth to be unearthen. how some development harm the people. Government need to focus on renewable energy methods. And focus on basic development for human beings. Force implementation lead to initial growth pickup and employment but the ending will inhabitable environment & ecological imbalance for future generation to stay alive. Good work " the Quint"👏
The right equipment is needed and the government should invest if they want but the problem with our Govt. Meghalaya they don't want to invest but just mined it directly with no procedure so what will happen now?
@@diya1113 indeed i agree on that if they follow procedure then imo i think it will benefit our country alot but the problem is as you can see they mined the Uranium back then 2006-2016 with no safety equipment,good technology that will help to reduce Radioactive ☢️ pollution especially to those people living there,even now i doubt they'll invest in those very expensive gear like the Hazmat suit,etc
We go to science The problem is radiation Half life of uranium is always above 1000 years Health Cancer Abnormal Unborn rate goes very high And many other case still happening here in those mining regions Rivers Un drinkable No fishes No irrigation
I like how the interviewers are speaking Standard Khasi dialect to her but she replies in her village dialect 😂 Khyrwait da tien chnong beit mei-ieid ong cji 🔥
After seeing this documentary I clearly understand we have to choose either development, world super power ambition or freedom, nature and poverty. Both are not possible at the same time. And we can't compare USA or China with our nation. Because our priority is not Global super power, but freedom. Freedom comes with great price, and we have to pay the price.
Dont give us your mattle road, I like the mud. Dont give us electricity I like the candles and lamps. Hunger is true friends and nature is my god mother. We in north east are different breed, small in size big in smile, give us a fight and we ll chop your heads off. Respect to all our elders and ancestors for giving us such a beautiful place to dwell for a short period of time call life.
Meghalaya is an Education hub land. With such reputation and advancement, it's actually a shame that basic education rights have been deprived in such areas that too which was there but discontinued.
Although I am not in favour of this mining thing but I would like to add that where we will get uranium if we don't mine. Ultimately we have to import that and importing costs money. So maybe it's better to dispose the wastes safely while generating employment rather than importing. Just my opinion 👍👍
Please do some research before you speak. Do you know what Uranium is used for and what it does to the places where it is mined from and what that waste would do? It is simpler not just about disposal of the mining waste. It is about complete destruction of the eco system over there.
@bored It is not about technology to manage mining waste. Research the problem please. Nuclear plant management and nuclear waste management is a joke in India. And about this particular plant, they've stopped mining a few years ago but the people are still reeling from the effects of those mines. Damage caused by nuclear radiation doesn't go away .. it shows up in some form or the other for a 1000 years. Why mine for uranium in the first place? Why do we need to use uranium? The only good reason is nuclear power and when there are other sustainable alternatives, why go the disastrous route?
@bored Please Google. I only have basic knowledge and have to get you from Google anyways if I need to give you proper data. But for now, wind & solar are more sustainable than any other power sources.
@bored I have read about Chernobyl since a long time but was a lot scared to actually watch it. I've only dared to see the first couple of episodes but didn't go any further. If you can find any, read about Bhopal Gas Tragedy in India. Even Uranium Mining in Mizoram is a lot more detailed on the web.

This is a good example of how governments which are elected by people behave when you question or go against their bad projects. So should vote for betterment of yourself and not theirs.
how do you definte bad projects? you just heard one side story
Human being is the only animal who kills anything for their pleasure!
Good story " the Quint". This like hidden truth to be unearthen. how some development harm the people.
Government need to focus on renewable energy methods. And focus on basic development for human beings.
Force implementation lead to initial growth pickup and employment but the ending will inhabitable environment & ecological imbalance for future generation to stay alive.
Good work " the Quint"👏
Yaa then renewable energy will take time india is working on it but our huge population need resources how will we get how USA get their resources
Thanks for showing us the truth 🙏🙏
Banning uranium mining is kinda lazy move, instead we should find solutions to problem caused by mining.
The right equipment is needed and the government should invest if they want but the problem with our Govt. Meghalaya they don't want to invest but just mined it directly with no procedure so what will happen now?
@@bashanborlangkhongshei2851 maybe if entire india raise the issue.. centre themself will b forced to do something...
@@diya1113 indeed i agree on that if they follow procedure then imo i think it will benefit our country alot but the problem is as you can see they mined the Uranium back then 2006-2016 with no safety equipment,good technology that will help to reduce Radioactive ☢️ pollution especially to those people living there,even now i doubt they'll invest in those very expensive gear like the Hazmat suit,etc
We go to science
The problem is radiation
Half life of uranium is always above 1000 years
Health
Cancer
Abnormal
Unborn rate goes very high
And many other case still happening here in those mining regions
Rivers
Un drinkable
No fishes
No irrigation
hahaha ... dude have u evr heard of jaduguda .... wat did the govt. do
I like how the interviewers are speaking Standard Khasi dialect to her but she replies in her village dialect 😂

Such a strong lady... May your Soul rest in eternal peace
After seeing this documentary I clearly understand we have to choose either development, world super power ambition or freedom, nature and poverty. Both are not possible at the same time. And we can't compare USA or China with our nation. Because our priority is not Global super power, but freedom. Freedom comes with great price, and we have to pay the price.
freedom leke marr jaa fir and don't cry for electricity then
Dont give us your mattle road, I like the mud. Dont give us electricity I like the candles and lamps. Hunger is true friends and nature is my god mother. We in north east are different breed, small in size big in smile, give us a fight and we ll chop your heads off. Respect to all our elders and ancestors for giving us such a beautiful place to dwell for a short period of time call life.
give back your phones and internet go back to pigeon communications bloody

Hats off to the journalists and the TV7 news for their efforts to bring these poor villagers troubles to the outside world.
Amazing documentary. 😢😢😢
Good on the village and this brave grandmother. 👍
Thank you quint for covering the north east!♥️
Precisely..... ❤️❤️❤️
Very good subject- real journalism! Instead of taking Afghans in, we should focus on their rehabilitation!
Thank you ..for showing stories like this..
What a grandma!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Love and Respect from West Bengal!
Meghalaya is an Education hub land. With such reputation and advancement, it's actually a shame that basic education rights have been deprived in such areas that too which was there but discontinued.
Kerala is more educated
Great work T7 and Quint
Finally some main platform showing about north east india.. great work...
Although I am not in favour of this mining thing but I would like to add that where we will get uranium if we don't mine. Ultimately we have to import that and importing costs money. So maybe it's better to dispose the wastes safely while generating employment rather than importing. Just my opinion 👍👍
Please do some research before you speak. Do you know what Uranium is used for and what it does to the places where it is mined from and what that waste would do?
It is simpler not just about disposal of the mining waste. It is about complete destruction of the eco system over there.
@bored It is not about technology to manage mining waste. Research the problem please. Nuclear plant management and nuclear waste management is a joke in India. And about this particular plant, they've stopped mining a few years ago but the people are still reeling from the effects of those mines. Damage caused by nuclear radiation doesn't go away .. it shows up in some form or the other for a 1000 years.
Why mine for uranium in the first place? Why do we need to use uranium? The only good reason is nuclear power and when there are other sustainable alternatives, why go the disastrous route?
@bored Please Google. I only have basic knowledge and have to get you from Google anyways if I need to give you proper data. But for now, wind & solar are more sustainable than any other power sources.
@bored I have read about Chernobyl since a long time but was a lot scared to actually watch it. I've only dared to see the first couple of episodes but didn't go any further.
If you can find any, read about Bhopal Gas Tragedy in India. Even Uranium Mining in Mizoram is a lot more detailed on the web.
Maybe they should dig up your house.
Thank you the quint for covering this....
Thank you Quint for focousing issues in Northeast India.
When the greed for money blind a person theres no place for peace and love.
shame on meghalaya govt and GOI for bullying the old lady who fought for her right to freedom to live in peace.
Rest in peace now grandma, you fought your battle well.🙏
There are many like her who suffer in silence. But karma will get back at them, rest assured.
Thank you for spreading this message
They will sell everything for their personal interest...,.. i.e govt of meghalaya
