My mom was born in 1925, she is still strong in her age. The film was made in 1937 or 82 years ago, so I think some of the children in the footage may still be alive. Love from Thailand.
Tanongsak Mhuentoei totally will be die Because they are very poor and less food was avail and work was hard that days
@@Khalidmahmood-eh8pj yes, i accept it
My grandman was born in 1915
I was born in 1940 ,have not gone to Nepal or ceylon yet but most of the thing shown about india Ihave seen but much prettier than this may be due to photography.our village was beautiful, city was less crowded hill stationwere Devine.
Does she still alive ?
Brings tears. It's a meeting of two oceans vastly different East and west. Yet the human condition persists. This is what I love about India. There is a timelessness in whatever we do which connects us to the beggining of time. It continues till today.
My favourite city in India, since 1996 - Bombay!!
I have been blessed to live with my parents and children and soon grand children for four generations in my beloved and adored city of Mumbai!
Bombay Meri JaaN!
Mumbai is now become wuhan of india
7:01 he mentioned 350 million as overpopulated. We are now 1.3 BILLION.
350 million is overpopulated for the country's size. India is just insanely overpopulated today.
@Super Hiper Better border controls. If the 3rd world wants to overpopulate it does not mean other countries have to join in.
Look a China and the USA ,same land mass but China has as many cars on the road as The US has people.
www.rfidtires.com/how-many-cars-are-in-china.html
China will lose the long game.
Super Hiper In 1801, the world reached the milestone population of 1 billion. In more previous centuries, estimated population was just around 500 million.
Super Hiper True😐
John Smith The usage "third world" sounds kinda disrespectful & could probably be replaced with "developing". And China is anyway not among the poorest countries of the world to deserve being referred to by the former usage.
I'm shocked this footage.. I'm 98 yrs it''took my Great grand children to explain these nostalgic memories... At Causeway... Mumbai... God bless the Times....
Thanks to the one who captured this vedio that that we can witness India in the history.....great narration too....bye fo now
so much diversity..., that's 1 piece of amazing land called INDIA...!!!

Loved the vintage Mumbai. Love to see more. Great job
i have just returned from a family holiday from India, the Taj Mahal was spectacular ,
@@nican8709 bs, hindu nationalist propaganda

@@nican8709 Temples were hub for hoarding wealth and explotigin women.. so it was good to destroy temples.
Denver Britto Taj Mahal being a epitome of love is propaganda... The architecture doesn't in anyway match a tomb or the culture it claims to belong to..
I'm not fortunate I am living in India without a glimpse of Taj Mahal
Outstanding ,fabulous video,i love it it's memorable days of old time...
Thank you so much
Then princes and maharajas ... And now our corrupt politicians ... Will poverty ever end?
In 1991, 60% of population was poor and now only 7%, so we are on our way
Yes
Indeed , it will
The day when we learn how to loot politicians just like Britishers . 😉
The poverty, or the boast, each can be communicated concern. It's how some deemed it reasonable to overlook needs. Discovery and dismay, they should be fair without luting. Unless they have some special claim
ask them to stop reproducing too much...with time it surely will!!!
You are right sir now corrupted politicians office rs looting India poverty still alive our government rules plovers going very poor it's our fate India is rich but most of Indians verypoornobody ask them
Great India my India
R.I.P to all these people and to the blind old man just trying to get by in life.
R.I.P
luv youtube for videos like this keep them coming pls!
Why is this person who is speaking calling people illiterate and mentioning poverty did they forget they have looted India. The way they have presented video shows their mentality.
Yet now days everybody poops in the street and never wash hands before cheeseburger time.
They looted our kings most of our population was always poor
@Darkhorse nobody cares since you are making shit up.
😂😂😂
@Darkhorse in a slave based system the master makes everything.
anyhow ... thanks for preserving our old indian images . now we are so much devoloped in last 70 years.
Shocked to see some Ill informed comments below. And absolutely amused to see a comment stating progress was changing from dhothi to pants LOL. All the poverty being shown was the result of 150 years of British rule. The region of India produced more than 20% of world GDP around 1700s around the time the European looters landed
+SRIRAM R Did you forget the 8,000 years of invasion and rule by everyone else before the British?
+Shadegat3 - Of course not. What is your point? My comment was specifically with respect to claims of material progress
***** Really? It also embodied regards to the comments below. Also, you apportion blame specifically to a very small blip in the History of India.
Did you forget that the British built Bombay by transforming it from a malaria infested swamp? How about the rail system without which you would have no progress?
Therein is my point... for now.
+Shadegat3 They gave us a global interconnection and the english language, good education system, roads, railways and most importantly, it is from them we learnt of democracy. What is the point of having so much money if it lies in the gold chairs of emperors, when the roads from their castles suck cock. I'd rather we lose most of India's wealth and we have something useful in return, than have a lot of gold piles sitting around in the possession of a greedy king.
80sROCKKKKK Damn good reply!! Have you heard of the "Peacock Throne" ? I totally hear you. India has been but raped by it's own leaders and today, people like Tata are still doing it to the poor.
Fook them! I will be in India again early next month and i will help the poor with money, help with education in rural areas and they in turn will give me emotion, kindness and love. I have always loved India for as long as i can remember. I have an Affinity with it.
The best we can do is try to offset the damage the rich are doing to the poor.
I hope to one day live there and contribute greater. Until then, i give nothing to the West except to my close friends only.
Peace to you. I wish great power to be with you, too.
I was in Benares in 1972. I recall seeing the river dolphind playing with unburnt back bones.
Amazing video of Mumbai
Even after 82 years still we are same,
Cows on the roads, no garbage control,over population
first are you following rules
This surely is not bombay ...the footage seems to have come from all over india
the title plainly states, EAST of Bombay....that would be the rest of India.
Maharashtra+Gujarat=Bombay Presidency
@@felixarvidulfkjellberg6361 Bombay presidency wasn't just Maharashtra and Gujarat, even Karachi in Pakistan came under Bombay presidency
Nice video I love to see these kind of video
It's fascinating how little has changed even after 82 years!
Mervin D'Souza what u tryna say???? It’s soooooo soooo different now
I believe He is talking about the economic gap between the West and India
That is a fact which cannot be ignored
yeah, so many rice bag converts !! A f##king disgrace to this country !! glorifying fake gods and bootlicker of Britishers !!
Like your thoughts.
@@prakashgupta001 Don't even get me started about fake gods. That's the funniest thing coming out of the mouths of one of you people. I think all religions are fake, but what would you know. BTW, I wasn't even born in India and and I am not a citizen. I thank my "bootlicking" ancestors for that. You can be as patriotic as you want but it's not going to change the state of the country anytime soon. Not in your lifetime anyway. So goodluck!
Tough going
...Everyone is so lean and fit !!
Nice footage! Liked!!
The narrative is absolute "Ass-holistic imperial or British imperial Bull Sheet" , but the photographic / cinematographic content is an immense piece of historic information.
Wonderful... Thank you.
So beautiful adventure
It is rare film those man are very clever and we are very thankful for this 100 year old pictures and we are gladful for this information
RIP everyone
Not all rip Some are still alive....
Very nice documentation
Happy to see a video of old mumbai, but watched in silent mode
I desperately need a Time Machine right now
Nano time travel; You can do it . All time is simultaneous. PEACE SEARCH David Icke or Titan Blooded
This was a fantastic period film. So glad I got to see it
@Swedish Meatball How do you compare India today and in 1937??
@Swedish Meatball when you don't know something fully, don't speak.
@Swedish Meatball you are so ignorant, you don't know anything about India.
@Swedish Meatball You do realise that India is one of the largest economy and democracy in the world today beating others in all sectors through continuous achievement . There wouldn't be kfc here if ppl wouldn't afford meals or poor .. only thing i see poor is your intelligence as well judgement
@Swedish Meatball wow i am stunned dont u do proper reasearch on indian history and indias economy today lol 80 % with no toilet are u mad please search on google please i request u !! ur type of people are just lazy asses who just see write anything without a proper research !! made my day worst !!
Of all my countries I have travelled to as I hitch hiked around the world is INDIA.
Awesome.
Very beautiful representation of India in the 30s. Dances are so perfect.
I see a lot of comments running down the British, under this video. Some people have been bragging about how rich and prosperous India used to be before the British arrived and drained of its wealth. A few questions for these ranters:
1 Did any of us Indians of that time ever make such informative films or documentaries. Yes we produced films on mythology and romance and so on. But what about travel films, news documentaries, cultural and educational productions - anything to match this video we have just seen. Has an Indian prior to the 1940s produced the like?
2 Have we any histories other than epics and panegyrics and the like dating from the earliest times? Do we have any objective records and chronicles relating the events and happenings of bygone kings and bygone eras in Indian history other than records of achievements inscribed on monuments and temples and the like? In fact the first people who took our history seriously were the British themselves and pioneering historians like James Grant Duff, Henry Beveridge, James Tod to name a few authored books on different aspects of our history many of which continue to be authoritative reference guides today.
3 Yes - India used to be rich and prosperous but how much of this wealth was shared by the common man? Most of it was concentrated in the hands of kings and rulers. The life of the peasant was always wretched and poverty stricken during the Middle ages (insufficient data available before that time) prior to the arrival of the British; it improved slightly after the British arrived because they systematized revenue collections in the lands they ruled directly.
Let's face it. The British conquered us because we deserved to be conquered - in fact we invited conquest with open arms not just by the British but by a succession of races before them - the Turks, the Pathans, the Mongols and so on. Mahmud of Ghazni looted so much treasure from the temples of India that the total value has never been computed but would probably rival what the British sucked out over 2 centuries. After Mahmud came Taimur Lang and Nadir Shah but wheras these invaders only stole the British took but gave something back - they left a strong administration, a healthy infrastructure, law and order, suppressed customs like Sati and Thuggee and so on and above all they left behind a conception of India as a political unity which was never there before.
So please don't rant and rave against the British without taking consideration of their achievements and legacies.
so true...
Thank you so much for the information, and kind words. I just hope more people read it 🇬🇧🤝🇮🇳
@Ranjit Tyagi thank you very much kind sir. Your words have warmed my heart.
I tried like hell to teach my wife that goat balancing on a stick trick but she kept falling off.
To abund if your wife is a nanny goat u are the billy goat
You should have understood by now that Goats are a different species.
And you were too stupid to learn it too.
Amazing documentary, part of India in 1930
Skills developed over thousands of years, prosperous, arguably the most sophisticated structures on the planet.
Now skills are diluted, people divided and riches looted!
God save the queen; she must have studied Kharma over the years!
I love the historical background of a country mean like 18 century before I get many knowledge things from them.
All these videos are a time capsule we are allowed to look back in to the past
thanks for giving alot of valuable information about the british invasion and recordings and clips in the mean time
I love my Indian
Old is gold
Lovely
cool historical documentary.
I think this same guy also narrated all the WW2 propaganda films. Interesting when he said, "In this war-torn world, there are few happy places like this left.". This was filmed in 1937, before the outbreak of WW2. He then goes on to say how 300 years ago, the Dutch 'owned' Ceylon. Really? How the Hell can someone step into a long occupied nation and simply claim it as their own, yet call these 'happy people' the uncivilized ones?
Sweet memories
does someone know which monastery it is
How man is changed in 80 years.and lost the volume.of life.
Love you india
Narrative might be harsh but to see the lifestyle of 30s India is emotional.
BEAUTIFUL VIDEOS VILLEGE OLD KACCHA GAAR HOME BOMBAY
Luckily they lived without pollution , mobile, computer,net , media,..... With good heart people lucky to live on that era
Yeah, except that local warlords and bandits killed,robbed and raped with impunity,,
@@rowbearly6128
Yeah..
In ur dreams....
And 30 million Indian died in Bengal province due to Churchill...
I guess that was jut a collateral damage. ..
Fuck u...
I remember watching this when I was 10 years
wonder full India
Western perspective of how Indians are !! All music sounds like African tribal. Video made for western audience to give a feel of adventure to visit the subcontinent.
Sad to see how little has changed in these years!!
Our heritage recorded by westerns... I am very thankful for old rare Hindustan....
East Mumbai consists the localities of Bhandup, Ghatkopar, Kanjurmarg, Kurla, Mulund, Nahur, Powai, Vidyavihar and Vikhroli.
East Bombay and East OF Bombay as the film suggest are two different things from a geographical perspective.
I love my India 🇮🇳 ♥
Did these guys go to Spiti or Ladakh?
I love my India 🇮🇳🙏
Oh ! Those Good Times.

I love my India
armand denis an old Kenya Hand wow nice
BEAUTIFUL BOMBAY
Wow incredible india
condescending commentary, stunning visuals and a dodge product placement
Hello....!
Who built the Taj Mahal?
Who exploited the builders, workers etc?
(nearly 400 years ago). Slavery was common and accepted long before the British arrived. Has everyone forgotten the blood soaked history of India?
Or is it SO MUCH easier to continue blaming British rule.
This world is so full of hypocrisy.
@@neilwoodward7336 Two wrongs dont make a right sir 😊
@@sunandan0
Correct, but blaming the past doesn't help either.
All people responsible for the past crimes are dead. Hundreds of years ago.. dead!
All the things happened. It cannot be changed.
What can be achieved by looking for justice from dead people?
Live now. Forget the past. It is useless to blame dead generations. Maybe karma will give justice. Personally, I believe bad people prosper. Never any justice in this world.
Sir.
@@neilwoodward7336 It helps to learn from history because we dont want a repeat of what happened.
Preserving the good & bad of British raj history will help future gen avoid the mistakes which led to a weak India
@@sunandan0
I hear you and agree with you.
But all things will repeat.
Nobody in power will ever stop their pursuit of money. Normal people can complain until the world explodes. But powerful people always win. 😭
It is a sad fact my friend.
I love al these old travel films. The narrator uses words like fanatical, idle, villanous looking, extremely dirty but back then it was all right to be so frank. It was the age of innocence.
thanks
Srade Farras : that the worst sin of of the past. The age of innocence was not perceived by the western world even though Rousseau coined the phrase 'the noble savage' when Europe was just changing views about the rights of man.
age of naive you mean
Nancy Cruz de Farras Innocence and arrogance too .
India 🇮🇳 is history
salute to the creator of this documentary
Wow nice bird trick
The video show about Sri Lanka at the end.
this film reels show of ancient ways of life in Indian subcontinent.Wonderful and not seen anywhere in the world. Britain had also ancient ways of life under brutal rulers in England and Ireland.
I love mumbai
It is what it is... We neither have to appreciate nor blame the English.. Let us relish and appreciate our identity through this video.
We’ve been called Losers, poor, illiterate and many more, but we should realise that this is how we have been brainwashed to self-shame our own past..
Looking at my fore runners, I only see that whether poor or rich, ignorant or smart, they all are happy.
Remember, happy faces come from self content, self content comes from self-respect, self respect comes from self-appreciation.
It’s unfortunate that we don’t acknowledge their self-appreciation, but rather pay attention to what the English narrator had to say about our nation/home.
Let us look back to relive our past in free India. Life is not for the rich nor you need to be rich to live the life of our elder generations 👍🏼
வாழ்க பாரதம் (Jai Hind)!
The proper title of this film is "Wheels Across India." It was made in 1937. This is a reissue version, probably made for television.
Fantastic rare video. Too bad India lost all animal trainers and bird tricks forever
Now you can see them on Britain got talent .
Sadly no imdb entry.So i gues it dosn't exist.:-(((
Today we can see the God has given special blessings on Great India' Only the one thing we all citizens shall do.....we shall increase the aducation in urban states and villages and ampowered all of them with this unique weapon....and only youth can do this .....so guys pls wakeup and do something for our great mother India.... instead of Smoking, and Drinking,....thanks
