@@essee3984 Propaganda for who? They are actively criticizing the government for doing nothing and letting them out to dry. Never in the video did they promote their Vice President so exactly what are you on about? They are doing good for their community and helping out in the way they can.
@@essee3984 so they are all basically paid actors huh...and propanda for what and why? The number of deaths and sufferings were nothing but a lie?
@@essee3984 ok brother there may be propaganda but we must admit that 90% of the shown things were in real. As we have seen in news the death bodies of people floating in ganga , people run over by train, shortage of beds and oxygen these things were evident. We cudnot learn from the first wave which apparently made vulnerable for the 2nd wave. Around 7cr vaccines were given to foreign countries to make India vaccine guru whislt making its own citizen unvaccinated. Other countries including America gave their country first priority that's why India cudnot get vaccine when needed so badly. We failed and we must admit.
Relief measures were taken by govt like providing rations for 8 months. But what about the job losses , migrant workers. Flights were arranged to bring the Indians from foreign countries but cudmt make proper arrangement for our poor laborers. Later railway managed but charged exorbitant rates at the time of crisis why?
I'm telling all these because I have felt what they were going through, I don't see propaganda if there is any I onlynsee the dark time we went through. Coz after all we are just human made up of flesh.and bones.
@@essee3984 It doesn't matter if its a propaganda or not if its real. Yes, there is a clear narrative being portrayed, but that doesn't mean what they showed is wrong.
@@essee3984 I do know about the international media neglecting the recent covid break in the US, but they did not entirely ignore it, this is the video the vice did on it czcams.com/video/JdcHcY8_gao/video.html . We all saw the bodies piled up in India, you cannot ignore that or any of it showed in this video.
I am not buying into the conspiracy which u are saying about the the people tarnishing India's name and thus making us weak in market. This is propaganda. You have no real evidence and just made up all those stuff. Until and unless we see evidence, anything else is conspiracy. This video is evidence, where is urs?
Again, I am not saying what you said is not happening or its false, until we can see evidence of it, I can't accept it.

In the second wave, my distant uncle had to run around from hospital to hospital with his oxygen deprived father on his back to seek medical attention while, his daughter and wife were having breathing difficulties with 30% of their lungs damaged and lying in the house.
His father died because he wasn't able to get a single can of oxygen cylinder. Then, my uncle had to run around from cemetery to cemetery in order to cremate his father's lifeless body. The body had already started decomposing so my uncle had no choice but to bury his body in a hole near the crematorium. This isn't how we bid adieu to a departed soul in our culture.
And this wasn't happening with just my uncle but lakhs of other people of my state. And you know what? Our government denied that there was shortage of oxygen, medicines, hospital beds, cremation grounds etc.
Cut to now, my uncle has tried to kill himself twice. He blames himself for the demise of his father. He hasn't been able to move on from this.
Tell him many, many people care about his health and wish him well. His trauma has not gone unheard
So sorry for your and your family's loss. I remember watching the news here in Ireland where they showed people trying to buy oxygen on the black market after having queued for it for days outside hospitals .They showed one man whose father died in the car outside waiting for oxygen. They also showed exhausted cremation ground workers,some working 23 hours and telling us how they could not keep up with the endless flow of bodies.How could Modhi tell people there was no shortage of oxygen or cremation facilities ,when the people in my country ,thousands of miles away could see that he was blatantly lying?
Please send me an email address to send him a message. I’ll write him from Canada.

@@lazypops3117 lol tbh he can't claim anyone died of covid. At least that's what government which is huge 'Culture saver' claims. But we have 40 more years of desperation and death, hang tight.
As a doctor, life has been extremely tough for the last one year... Did 6 covid duties (7-10 days each), saw countless people die in front of my own eyes, stayed away from my own family as much as possible, ostracised by neighbours, became Covid positive and was hospitalised for 17 days (contact was asymptomatic patients in non Covid ward).... Unfortunately, the fight isn't over yet... 3rd wave is at the door... But we'll keep on fighting.... 🤝
And thnx to people like , Mr Rashid, Ms Nandita, Mr Sarwar, all crematorium and graveyard staff, all ASHA workers and all healthcare workers; starting from the doctors to the cleaning staff and countless others, who tried their best and worked selflessly for the society.... Thnq VICE too for this documentary... Though some parts were really mentally traumatic for me, sm parts were really full of hope.... ❤️
Thank you for your service.
More power to you Doctor. One of my doctor friend was also harassed as he lived in flat. His family members was also ostracized. These are because of our society. Kudos to you and your family members too

I feel proud and a sense of nationalistic duty has swept over me for the first time. I can proudly proclaim that none of my workers ever left Ranchi city to go back to there villages but they constantly sent money to there families back home through out the Pandemic.

Salute to you and your father
This is true nationalism, not blindly supporting the government. Much respect to your family. Also, greetings from Jamshedpur.
Same.my father also didn't let any of workers become unemployed.we used my marriage fund.Dad even bought injections to help someone but they didn't survive.That time was so dark for our country and rest of world.Even my grandmother died, my sister lost her husband , one sister in law died.i feel we could have done better in covid people listened.

At 26:23 they were taking pictures of all the homeless people who took the masks gratefully that they had made and put them on. Contrast them to that roughly 30% or so of Americans who throw hissy fits over it.
I live in a republican state where masks arent well liked, yet, everyone wears one, and over two years i have yet to see anyone throw a fit over them, as have most americans
@@da_poopoo_dealer3152 Dude, I worked at Wal-Mart as a health ambassador (the person who's job was to count people in stores and give out free masks).
I can't tell you how many times I was almost assaulted or had a death threat. Most people would start yelling at me, one straight up threw the whole box in the trash. I live in Vegas, anti-maskers are very frequently seen here in stores. Most are locals but some are tourists.
@@da_poopoo_dealer3152 I know there are some Republican officials, are for example the governor of Ohio, who have had exemplary covid-19 response. However, Even he has had a very strong antivax element opposing him in the party base.
So I'm wondering what red state you're talking about which has had both a strong response from the republican-led government, and they have managed to keep the anti-vax base from sabotaging many of their efforts, like the person, who posted just after you, explained about his experiences at a Walmart.
Seriously, I would like a red state basis to use to refute the people who are stating that the anti-vax element essentially makes a Republican party a lost cause. Plus I can use it as an example of how people can work with the anti-vax movement, and I realize it can go from people that are just hesitant and get scared because of all the distortions, versus the Q-anon conspiracy types types who are a lost cause until they're in the hospital dying.
It's sort of like explaining second amendment issues to people in the anti-gun crowd. Some of those people bring up genuine issues, and deserve to be listened to. Some of them are lost causes, because they are not for sensible gun regulations like Switzerland had until the EU shoved their rules down their throat with the very genuine threat of shutting down their open borders (and Switzerland still put the vote up to the people, but having hard borders when You are totally surrounded by the other entity, which will really screw up your export trade, they did vote reluctantly to sign into the Swengen pact). The guns are bad and we don't care what the constitution says types, are why the second amendment is necessary.
@@da_poopoo_dealer3152 what state do you live in and do you get out of your house often? I think your poopoo is leaking.

Around 12 workers worked in my mom's small business. We gave them everything we could as it wasn't easy for us as well. And today they are all working together. I know many suffered including many of their neighbours. But many were saved too.
Even our domestic help was paid fully for entire year without even working for a day. We are not bound by any contract as again this is informal sector.

Everyone is interested in bashing the government. But they forget how individuals, educated creme de la creme of the society behaved during the second wave. I was there in Delhi at that time. My boss died of Covid, cuz of his own stupidity. I first hand saw people traveling in droves to their hometowns during festivals. I saw the rich hoarding oxygen cylinders despite being healthy. I saw pharmacies selling medicines and equipments at exorbitant rates.
At the same time, there were people forming groups, sharing medical information, staying up all night to arrange beds for patients, calling and securing medical supplies.....
Why shouldn't people bash the govt.? They are the ones who were/are/will be responsible for the law and order.
It was terribly managed. There was no clear planning. No support. Huge uncertainty.
Then blaming one part of the society. Also, they had the spine to declare that nobody died due to lack of proper resources (be it food, oxygen, healthcare, etc.)

I’m glad this was documented.

I think Modi gets some kinda power trip by doing abrupt decisions and giving folks no time to prepare. When he Demonitized vast majority of Indian economy that ain’t digital , he gave his citizens an hour or so. When he announced one of the world’s most draconian lockdowns he gave people 4 hours. So many folks just left big cosmopolitan cities for their villages as they were daily laborers with no social safety net. Some of them walked 1000 miles. Huge chunk of them died from dehydration and exhaustion . He could have done what every sane leader in the world did and announced lockdown within couple of days. But he needs his power trip.
Every state govt was also responsible for the same, for example many states like maharastra that have huge numbers of labourers did not wanted them to leave because there would be shortage after the pandemic and many states like up and bihar that send these workers did not wanted them as a burden so overall every govt did fucked up job in that part🥴

And one documentary on Muhhamad.
We want a documentary about how pakistan is trying to wipe out its minorities and selling their backsides to the chinese
yes eid is going to cause a 3rd wave in India
Sadly We Indians have a very short memory, most people have forgotten about this today
That’s why the documentary. Don’t forget…
Yeah
I used to work in a NGO during pandemic, we were distributing groceries to people living in slums.
I received calls people telling me they haven't eaten properly in a week.
Many people during second wave of covid and Govt didn't have proper data.
Now report on America's forgotten majority
As a laborer , it’s awful to see this happen to people. And please tell me how you loose a train ?
India runs more trains than any other country . During covid they stopped everything but restarted a few of them for these guys . They did not staff the signal stations though . It was a sorry state of affairs .
😊you live in a different world, we are okay here
Lose or loose?
@@lordvoldemort7465 india has a more denser railway system. One wrong track and it spirals into a mess
@@lordvoldemort7465 I think he means Train routes run and passengers moved. Which im going to assume a country with over a billion people like China is. way more than the USA. In the USA the train system is very organized and balanced (for the most part) to keep it running smoothly. India has no schedules or set destinations people pretty much just jump on a train when it comes by and hop off when its comes close to where they're going.
There is one big setback on huge advocacy organizations, rallies/demonstrations. Politicians and/or other parties ride on under the pretext of advancing the advocacies, but only for selfish sinister motives lurking behind. This has been seen in countless rallies worldwide. How many world leaders had been deposed, but only to be replaced by an equally, if not worse, regime.
Yes very peaceful protest by burning public buses
If the police instigate crowds and react violently to peaceful protests like with Lathi charge then the protest is bound to get violent similar to the blm protests in America.

In India we never care for a life than anything..

not surprising that a country with a caste system for thousands of years, would treat the poor this way. India government needs to change. Bless these people for feeding the homeless workers.
Caste is Portuguese word btw. India never used that word before colonialism of India
@@randomfighter2249 okay? Theyre still using a caste system
@@Zerba- yeah there's still discrimination in some places. But lot of lower caste people are temple priest in some states. There are intercaste marriages. Even our family members had many intercaste marriages. So the problem is still there but miniscule
@@Zerba- caste discrimination happens but I pretty sure india isn't following feudalism now a days. Is slavery still happens in America? What you are talking about is caste being alive but sadly our government didn't banned caste as they believed in positive discrimination or affirmative action so caste is important to give reservations to lower caste. As a democracy politicians need votes and lower castes are in majority so no one would let go of a vote bank.
I'm a lower caste Indian and you have no idea what you're talking about.
And the irony is that these people mostly from my home state of Bihar hail modi as savior when he has no regard for their life. He serves businessmen like those who rule Gujarat people and the sad fact is that they are still blind and even sadder is the fact that we have no leader in opposition. Glad to have a job.

"He has hosted and produced documentaries investigating controversial issues, conflicts, movements, and subcultures, including conflict minerals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Iraq War, the takeover of Gaza by Hamas in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the rise of the Pakistani Taliban and global terrorism."
VICE is unbiased, just because he is of pakistani origin doesn't mean he hates india. He covered his own country as well.
This covid pandemic has definitely exposed some of the most incompetent and crooked government throughout the world. India and the Philippines are two good examples.

I think India handled it brilliantly without proper infrastructure, money distribution. Yes, there were mistakes but overall I think India did a brilliant job albeit poor social safety net for migrant workers.
@Not so Lucky
Not really tho. Modi has had the same gdp growth rate from 2014-19 as Manmohan Singh had, and Modi halved the inflation as compared to Manmohan Singh. He has also invested heavily into infrastructure which should give good returns in the future. Calling him a butcherer is quite funny since he didn't understand the gravity of the riot before it happened and was simply late to dispatch the police. If you want you can criticize his incompetency while handling that issue, calling him a butcherer however is a bit far. Not to mention the islamic rioters started the feud when they burnt up a train coach carrying hindu travellers.
That's the power of a good teacher. As Malala said, "One book, one child, one teacher, can change the world." Amazing work by Mazdoor Kitchen.
Also, much kudos to Vice for producing the documentary.

The protests against the citizenship amendment bill definitely received more attention in delhi, but it did not start there, it started in North east India. We were protesting much earlier before it blew up in the capital.
