You have presented every festival and culture of India very well with the eyes of your camera, this time come to Bihar and present our Mahaparv Chhath in front of everyone with your eyes, this is not a festival, it is an emotion for us, definitely come only 6 days are left.
Please keep posting, your content has, by far, the most production value out of any India-based youtuber. It is beautiful to watch, and its more of an experience every time I get lunch, turn the lights off, hide the curtains and sit comfortably to watch another docu-vid by one of the best content creators this country has to offer. Prost!
मैं उत्तरकाशी उत्तराखंड से २००७ में माइग्रेट हुआ था रोजगार की तलाश में, लेकिन मैं अब थक चूका हूँ और वापस अपने गाँव जाना चाहता हूँ। इन १५ सालों में मैंने बहुत कुछ खोया बहुत कुछ पाया लेकिन अब मैं थक चूका हूँ। मैंने अपने पिता को २०१५ में खोया तब मैं उनके पास नहीं था इस बात का दुःख मुझे पूरी जिंदगी रहेगा। अब मेरी माँ गाँव में अकेली है और मैं चाहता हूँ की उनकी जिंदगी के आखिरी दिनों में मैं उनके साथ रहूं।
Every generation looks forward for a better future wrt education,career finance,recognition social status etc etc,migration is one path for this growth it is the duty of all authorities to create opportunities for this in everyplace by tapping it's geo
My grandfather came to Delhi from Uttarakhand _pauri (nawan)…… Pauri Garhwal one of the worst migrated region in Uttarakhand,,,,,, now only one family of 2 members left in the village ,,,,whole village is turned into ghost village,, they all have their own helplessness and need including us….. We can’t criticize people ,the main culprit is govt…….there is no education,,medical and employment facility …. Now govt comes up with some helpful schemes but it’s kinda late anyways hope for a better tomorrow … So many people can say big things but we have to be practical and it’s sad but it’s true…… A famous line by a pahadi writer “ सड़क तुम अब आयी हो गाँव, जब सारा गाँव शहर जा चुका है ।
I'm originally from Uttarakhand,,, a small beautiful village in pauri Garhwal.. My grandfather moved Delhi in search of good education n employment.. and from onwards we are here in Delhi but somewhere deep down inside our heart beats for Uttarakhand and we always make sure to go in village 2-3 times every year..... Some woke people criticize our old generation for migration but I don't think like that..... situations were very poor those days.... no education ,no hospitals , no roads , no EMPLOYment,etc....I respect my grandfather decision.....instead of cribbing about what they did,,,,we should start thinking about what we can do ..... so make sure do regular visit to your hometown as much as possible,,,,, generate awareness ,,,employment,,,etc by any means.............. So to all my folks and some woke's,, if we start taking interest today the tomorrow will be better for sure..🙏🏼 Ek pahadi writer ki kuch lines bahut acchi likhi gayi hai ki *sadak tum ab aayi ho gaon,, jab sara gaon shehar ja chuka hai*
This is a story almost in every rural part of India. We saw entire towns in Chettinad empty and most of them have migrated abroad. I shudder to think what will happen to our lived traditions. And I know most people to be not happy in cities. Very good documentation!
I'm from Uttarakhand, people of uttrakhand wanted a hill state and they got hill Plus planes , and thus hill remain underdeveloped and ignored.its so saddening to see whole culture of thousand of Years is on verge of extinction.
This is because people here are fools. They never demand jobs, development from politicans. And stop this glorification of villages which is the main reason for unemployment and underdevelopment in Uttrakhand.
@@parveshbisht4955 people are fool every where , glorification is for culture not villages. but still some places are more developed than others, if you can't comprehend that its the framework and circumstances that lead to development, then you need to grow up , Haryana was driest place and punjab was fertile, Haryana got separated based on Identity and became first in india to achieve full electrification, and completed huge irrigation projects, which in turn made it a prosperous state. people of hills wanted a hill state, this would have forced the government to shift in hills, and a hill City like Shimla would have developed . all we are left with now is plane Dehradun, which the babus of government can enjoy.
@@varunkhugshal9049 plains are easy to develop than mountains. You are right that our politicans living in plains don't want to do anything for hills. They are even destroying plains. Dehradun is now overcrowded, dirty and even here there is not much employment.
I am from West Nepal, my maternal side our from Uttarakhand, the migration of hill folks is a sad thing to hear about. I studied at Simla Himachal Pradesh but the problem of migration is not in that hill state. I think so it's due to better financial support in Himachal like horticulture, tourism etc. Earlier under UP Kumaon and Gharwal were ignored and now the new state governments are also not doing much
Iam from Kerala, my dad was in the defence forces, which made us go all over India, and it was good. But my parents took us to Kerala almost every year, which made us get close to our place, roots, language etc. Iam so thankful for that. Now in Kerala, I feel totally at home. Only sadness is my kid doesn't speak Malayalam inspite of my best efforts (but I get all the blame).
With kids it's practically impossible to teach them local language if you husband and wife don't use it for all communication. But in today's world it's very common to find husband and wife from different mother language so it becomes difficult to teach kids all three languages
@@rapiddu6482 but it's easy to force hindi upon south Indians even if we don't need it. Don't say ur not, govt. Is by effectively running parliament, banks and schemes, airports. I ain't complaining, just letting u know how much we are suffering because of the burden of 3 language policy
Even if pahadis don't stay in their ancestral home, make sure that u visit ur home twice a year. And please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 don't sell ur land to outsiders. Pahadi ko he bechana , agar thoda kam rate mile tab bhi. Apni Dharti ki raksha karna sab se bada dharam hai sab ka. Jai Uttrakhand 🙏🙏🙏
@12:05 The quote on his upper clearly said it, "Get over it". Personally for me, moving from Manali, Himachal Pradesh to Toronto has been quite overwhelming. I am still trying to get over it. Maybe I never will. Despite the better living conditions I still miss my hometown especially because of our culture: our devis and devtas, folklore, kathkuni houses, music, dance, and traditional and healthy food. People in the west talk a lot about the sustainability concepts which was already present in our culture. Living in harmony with nature, being part of the eco-system, understanding the weather patterns, mixed cropping, and using rare Himalayan herbs to treat life style disease and mental health issues. As a person with ADHD, one side of me wants to make money where there are better jobs, but a part of me will forever be where I came from. 🌄
Run after money is endless. India is the mother of spirituality. Only a spiritual attitude to life can bring deep, long-lasting peace. You can make money back in India also now. We are the 5th lassgest economy in the world. Anyway whatever you do, make sure your come back home every year so that you and your kids are connected and can appreciate whats the real meaning of life.
I m originally from pithoragarh uttarakhand..my father left home to find job and served at harayana govt..that's how lakhs of PPL migrate from uttarakhand and never come back as they make their living in job place..but i m happy that my father came back to uttarakhand and we are here in uttarakhand..but most come to haldwani or doon or some plains areas as everyone wants medical and education for children.... our ancestoral home is still empty and we just go their in a year.sad but truth of each migrated uttarakhandi...
Very nice documentary, my ancestors 150 yrs ago migrated to Mumbai from Gujarat. 2yrs ago my husband had a business opportunity and we shifted to a small sleepy town of Gujarat. Slowly I realised how much our previous generations and ours had lost our roots. It was a divine plan to come here and have had realised all that. But transition isn't easy, when u have several generations before u who have been born and brought up in a metro city and then a sudden move to a small town. But it helped a lot, as I connected with my roots here. But in our next generation 90% is going to Canada/US.
Such a valuable contribution! I migrated from a big city in South East Asia where I was born and raised via the USA to a little rural village in Europe some 30 years ago. The transition was painful initially. It took a gradual revamping of my inner values to accept the change. Now I'm self-sufficient in more ways than I would ever have been, had I remained in the city enjoying the instant gratifications that it provided. The practical knowledge I've acquired in the process of living off the land is not in the least comparable to the higher education I received in the US which limited me to one specialized field while ignorant of survival in nature. This includes food production, preservation, medicine, health care, and more specifically the spiritual dependency of nature (people included) on her creator.
Lovely reportage indeed! And greetings from Hamburg Germany 🇩🇪.. Reality of human living in the urban area's of himalaya.. I've lived in Himachal for 2 year's in 1988 & observed the hard life of farmer's..
The eternal struggle to merge culture with nature. More than the answer, we need to acknowledge the question. With urban population likely to double by 2047 and the urgency shown in urban planning, maybe the answer lies at the other side of the coin. Loved the camerawork and the heart you put into this.
Awareness of the aftermath of migration is very well depicted in your video. In many countries in Europe people are coming back and restoring the old homes with modern amenities and trying to live a second life after escaping from the cities. This is hopeful and if the government takes an interest in providing the basic amenities then maybe in India too this will happen. So the mindset needs to change. Thanks for this wonderful video
This video made me emotional. I'm from South India and my ancestors are from Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. From last three generations we have been staying in Hyderabad. I have only heard stories of my grandmother's natives and visited them as a tourist. The subject that you mentioned about roots, is absolutely absent for me. 😑
Great job again brother. So sharing a bit of my personal story. I was born and brought up and still living and working for living in New Delhi. But my parents are from a sub town called Katwa in West Bengal and they migrated to Delhi to make a living. Though I do go there once in a year and have been going since childhood, when you go to such sub or small town and villeges you actually understand the difference. Difference in compact building and open nature, difference in standard of living, how every job matters be it cycling a rickshaw or selling fruties on street to being a part of a well corporate job. I do have decided one thing and thats what I have planned for future as well. You want to earn money and make a living and safe for future? Live in big cities. You have enough money now that you can utilize property to live rest of your life without a worry? Migrate to a sub town or Village or some place full of nature, open, less populated place. Where you can actually realize every breath you take in with pure oxygen. ❤❤❤❤
You've addressed the very core issue of uttarakhand.. this problem has given birth to total disappearance of a very beautiful culture and language.. governments without any vision/dedication and corruption are one of the root cause for this.
Dear friend , i also belongs to Uttarakhand, Migration is a big problem for entire Uttarakhand. I serve nation hence moved from my hometown ( not migrated as my mind and soul still resides there ) , i will grab them all once releived from my duties. the example of Roots , Stem and flower leaves was excellent ..............love those lines '' ki ab isi liye fool kam aate hain tahniyon par' kyunki vo jado se door ho gayi hai ' . All those who migrated from uttarakhand for a better life and currently living that are praiseworthy , But those who left their motherland and living compromised life in big cities , ... i request them please come back ...namak roti to yahan bhi kha sakte the...fir kyun ghar chod diya. Ethreal contact me for more harsh reality regarding migration problem. keep it up.
Very beautiful and interesting film. Congrats from France 😊 Actually for same reasons the same thing happened here. But with lockdowns many people now go back to the countryside...
I'm a bit surprised to know that. I'm assuming that livelihood, health and education would not be the reason. Maybe it's the desire for an affluent life?
Wow, pinches the little hidden corner of one's heart! I moved to bigger cities 12-15 years back due to work opportunities but always loved to spend time in my small hometown. After this pandemic, the WFH and other basic necessities have brought me back to my town. I try to spend half of the month in my town and half in the bigger city. I can see the difference and who knows I move back to where I belong sooner than expected.
I was visited Gussain Village with my creative team in the year 2018 with one of my senior friend He is in Senior officer in the Navy ( Harmanjeet Singh Rekhi ) he is doing fabulous work with villagers in remote areas of this village. Hope you feel alive in Gussain Village like us. Thanks, brother.
Its a beautiful meaningful film based upon a real issue of migration which is actually happening right in front of our eyes and we are not able to see the aftermath of it. Thanks Ayush for highlighting it in such a beautiful way. As always. You are my top favorites in the space of Indian UA-cam. God speed brother. 🙏🤗
You are wrong. Migration out of villages is a good thing. You are all getting it wrong. You can always visit the green places and enjoy the peace. Development is total disaster But govt shud support people with subsidized housing for migrants. Like China did for 20 years 40 crore ppl were resettled.
Uttarakhand is my heart..I lived there for 15 years due to my father government job..I still miss that place..Kash vha bhi kuch progress ho Healthcare jobs school high education ki suvidha vha p bhi ho to logo ko vo jgh chorni na pde...beauty of Uttarakhand can not forgotten. I have no words to express my feeling towards Uttarakhand..people of there also very humble kind helping nature..kya hi kahu..Jo sukoon vha k chote chote gharo m h vo sehar ki advance lifestyle m bhi nhi h
I am not from uttarakhand, but would love to stay there n work with the locals n live my life... It's sad that people have to leave because of their needs.... N ultimately forget heaven.
This video is technically very well done. The music and the editing is crisp, quite professional. The videography is also up to the mark, I really enjoyed some of the special effects. It's not as easy as it looks and many viewers miss the small little nuances, that the film-maker transfers from his mind to the screen. So, very well done. Now about the subject... Many of those who move from the hills or smaller towns to bigger busier cities, think, alone what can they do. Don't despair, do whatever you can do, even if it's a single effort. Go for a week and teach in the village, volunteer to teach what you are best in. If you have a little finance, try building a wall or a roof of the school, assemble a PC and gift it, if u are a doctor, offer a free medical check up and distribute prescribed medicines. Keep it simple, do what you can do. Maybe you can take a group of friends and stay a few nights, thus provide work and earnings to the villagers staying back. Even if 1% of the viewers think and take action, the soul will return to these ghost villages. All the best and take care everyone.
Ye rubber muh hai kuch bhi bolo, famous saying by my uncle jee The problem is ignorance.. The Government did nothing for our people living in hilly terrain.. We have fertile land and lots of water.. we can grow anything like apples kiwi exotic veggies.. But without roads nothing is possible..You will not see any gosht village in Himachal.. because they have good roads that's why they're growing apple and running homestay..
Ur day is coming soon brother. People will be waiting for ur uploads. Just wait for that day. What an output. Extraordinary screenplay. As far as I know nobody showed this experience of visualising places and people so natural and poetic. 😊❤️.
Mein rudraprayag district se hu aur mein bhi is cheez ke bare me bahut sochta hu ki hum lifestyle ke chkkar mein itna pyara uttrakhand bhoolte ja rahe hain. Jab shehar mein koi problem hoti hai toh uttrakhand hi yaad atta hai har bar. Hum Nayi pidi ko Sochna chahiye ki atleast saal me 2 baar apne gaon Jayein
Yeh badi achi baat kahi aapne. Prr ab kya fyda. Tum sab log Uttrakhand se bhag rahe ho aur other states ke log waha apne lodges aur hotels bana rahe hai. Jaa ke dekho Rudraprayag mein ab UP ke Muzlims ghum rahe hai. Srinagar mein bhi. Yahi natija hota hai jabtak insan ke pass koi cheej hoti hai uski dekhrekh woh kabhi nhi karta. Prr ab yeh sab dekhkar bhi dimag nhi aa raha thikane to bhool jao. Uttrakhand ka culture bhi doop jayeha Tehri ki tarah.
That's really a great motivational documentary team..i will share my migrant story My name Rinku,I belongs to Uttarakhand and I live in my village which is located in Uttarakhand before covid I was working in a restaurant, getting good money, living going lifestyle,lekin zindagi mai bas ek cheez khatak rhi thi ki "kya ham apne pahad mai rhkar kuch job nhi kar skte h", because job is number one reason for migration,and then thanks to covid ,jiski wjh se ham apne gaw mai ruke,aur hmare us wqt ye sunne ko nhi milta tha ki "beta kab ja rha h Naukri par"?? "kitne din ki chuuti aaya h"?? aur is wqt muze time mila ghar par hi kuch job ka,then I joined UA-cam actually I already uploads videos on youtube lekin lockdown mai it's like an opportunity for me to upload more content,and results kya rha I uploaded content on youtube,and I earned money's,,so job ka problem to solve,then post lockdown jab log dhere dheere fir se apni apni job ke liye wapis sahar gye,at that time mai aur mere kuch dosto ne decide kiya ki we will not go back,,and do something for our people, for ourself,and still I am in village doing my online job,and my friend found in job in local market shop. So this is my story of #Notgoingback
Brilliant! I really loved the overall subject of your stories - have managed to see only a few - and it is something I really empathise with. Dare say, I have travelled a lot - on foot - and the journey to Milam glacier in Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand holds out a charm such as no other! The physical and the scenic aspects of the trek were undoubtedly magnificent, but what was more enduring and poignant were the sights of the abandoned villages and the stories of families that have migrated to the cities.
You have presented every festival and culture of India very well with the eyes of your camera, this time come to Bihar and present our Mahaparv Chhath in front of everyone with your eyes, this is not a festival, it is an emotion for us, definitely come only 6 days are left.
I always say you are not a travel vlogger. You are a movie maker, a great one. I m disappointed to see so less views , looking at the piece you ve made. Creativity at its best.keep it up. Very proud of you
It is heart wrenching to look at the condition of the state I was born in has been reduced to shambles. Apart from Dehradun, Nainital, Roorkee etc. there is absolutely no amount of support or structure from the state machinery. Private investments are fine, but to what extent?! What about the common denominator? Even the aspect of tourism has not been looked at from a holistic perspective.
Awesome video. Let me share my story my dad came to Delhi in search of a job leaving behind a beautiful village Mjedakhatta, Kumaun. I lived in Delhi and finished my education. At the age of 22 I moved to Florida, United states for career and better work opportunities. I miss my Pahad!
Heart touching account of how our roots are being forgotten! Change is inevitable, but if it is taking us away from our culture, our roots, it is heartbreaking. The current system is completely western! Education , lifestyle, food, everyday products, dressing and what not. There are many factors that we can blame but it is of no help. Glad to see some people trying to change this, if more people realize this and turn to their roots and stand for what holds real value, we can definitely get back to our roots! At least some!
This one is just so relatable and must watch, It feels like a story of so many of us. amazing work buddy, You are one the best Travel Content Creators. Keep creating, more power to you ❤️❤️
Thank you so much, i can so well relate to it. It takes a lot of determination, will power and scarifice to quit a cushy corporate job and come back to your roots and do something meaningful. Now after 7 years of grit and scarifice we have been able to create employment for the rural population as well as launch some of the most loved tea brands right from a small town in Assam- Woolah Tea & The Tea Leaf Theory. India needs to celebrate grassroot entrepreneurs to encourage reverse brain drain.
In search of a new life is the motivation and it will not allow anyone still and our racing is an ongoing process for the best ! In reality one should learn that with a ground which is rooted is most enriching than away from it! After tasting the result of our experiments naturally we all should come back to our innocence as without which we all are superficial ! Yes your video has so much depth to force a comeback so fast from the superman to humble individual! Thank you so much dear "Ethereal " for the so interesting video!
You choose the topics carefully and with up-to-date content which could apply to almost anywhere in the world, and so many themes are covered in an impeccable presentation; I am subscribing. Thanks!
Absolutely Good thing! Nothing wrong with emptying of villages and moving to cities. It’s happening in Europe and South America too. I understand your idea of finding the reason, but you need to emphasize it’s a good thing. We need to open more green spaces for trees forests and animals. Govt shud build more apartments for people to move in.I hope Delhi Bombay Bangalore and other metro cities will one day host 100 crore people so we can empty the green spaces. It’s important for human health. Only some farmers shud stay in villages otherwise it should stay wild and pristine, to save our rivers and eco systems. Educate people about that. Otherwise In Overpopulated india only humans will be left everything else will die.
Beautiful and peaceful place. We here in North America are trying to find places like this within our own places. Prices are out extremely high. However, this ghost town is a gem. When I retire I want to live there.😊 I am not from India but send me there please. Would love it.😊
This is a very nice movie.. lots of tears in my eyes. I left my small village in Goa in 1993 for Dubai. Then went to France, Italy, Qatar, and now I am back to Dubai. It's been 29 years now misses my village a lot and I am going to back to India next year.
Enjoyed Each and Every Moment of this video :) Awesome The Best Thing is, This Lockdown I came Back to My Hometown and Living Like Old Beautiful days ( without office work of course ;) )
The most Underrated channel of youtube....Bro you are gem...pure gem. What you are doing is a splendid and great thing, this is called a pure conent keep this good work up
So beautiful and amazing story telling as always. The way you put any subject and it's deep values, are simply amazing!!!! Love all of your creations 😍🙏😍
Compelling storytelling. Impeccable narration. Spellbinding cinematography. Goosebumps throughout. This film made me uncomfortable, joyous, emotional and forced me to think. I want to contribute in your journey. Let me know if I can volunteer in any way.
Beautiful. In one word. Almost everyone here in big cities is longing to know about their native as a generation has passed since they lived there. Someday surely this quest will end .. searching for your soul
I am from ghansali tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand. I am 25 years old. We used to live in Ludhiana with family, i then moved to Chandigarh, kolkata n so on for work, In lockdown i was stuck in kolkata for 8 months i really felt lost, i lost my father . Then i decided to move back to my village built a new house, now we live in village, my brother got married here we have one buffalo, and j am exploring the possibilities to do something on my own here. N we can't really blame anyone, govt is trying but people aren't supporting, everyone likes the fancy lifestyle of cities but some of us realise it lately that this isn't what i want to do. I think the youth of Uttarakhand should get well educated n earn some good money first n then come back n atleast sit n try to think what can we do so that the people who are left here don't have to migrate. Note : my brother lives in japan, so can just sit n think about it, govt can't provide work to everyone n we shouldn't be expecting it to happen in a free economy. It's on us
Why don't you convert the whole village as a tourist village? May be open a small college or university by making use of the existing infrastructure available.
@@Khudmukhtiar Chandigarh was good, we used to live in guptas house so it was a very good experience, city is designed very well. But stay away away from punjabi singer’s fans they imitate what they hear in the songs so thats kind of dangerous all around punjab.
This video has my heart ❤ ... every video of yours is just so beautiful but this one has really changed me and inspired me to do something for these people... I wish one day as I grow up, I become capable enough to do something for them ❤ 🙏🙏🙏
I am, from Allahabad Uttar Pradesh - living in Chandigarh from the last 13 years. You are one of my favorites Cinemator your content is outstanding and inspiring, Subhah A Banaras is the first video of yours that I was watched and shared 500+ people in my connection. and even I still watch some times. So many UA-camrs on UA-cam who's filming but your content and editing on top as always. keep it up brother god bless you.
Bihar and up people migrate in high percentage...... present time me facilities bhoot hai lekin zindagi me sukoon nhe hai..... zindagi me sukoon hona badshah banne se behter hai....
Bhai, u are an artist.. ur videos are peaceful and restless at the same time.... Either u r very good at the work u do, the subject is very connected to you.... Kudos... Keep up the good work
Amazing film, beautifully done. Some really inspiring characters, the guy at the end trying to change mindsets after he moved back to the village, bless him.
Bhai dukh hota hai dekh kar ki tum jaise talented artist ke videos par itne kam views aur wahin kuch log tatti videos bana kar million views easily le jaatey hai. Aapki skills nat geo level ki hai, especially subah banaras was epic. Aapka fan hu dost. Lagey raho👏
I can feel that because the things that happened with these villages is currently happening in my village. Peoples are migrating in cities for better lifestyle and the intresting thing is that some of them are not earning much money they are daily wages labour and their lifestyle becomming worse in the cities.In village they have a nice home field and good persons to talk while in city they have to adjust in one room and they have nothing more than this. But their mindset is that they are living a good life their in cities 😟 this thing that herts me a lot is they are cutting their roots from where they actually originated.
Actually, the migrant labourer migrates not for a better lifestyle. She/he does it because of the lack of basic necessities (like livelihood). They know more than anyone else that the life in the village is much more peaceful. They can feel the tension in the air in the cities, when they come for the first time. They way the world is run, if they don't follow it, it will mean they and their children will get left behind in the so called 'race' to nowhere. They are left with no choice.
One of the best and soul touching documentary, so far I have seen. My personal view on this story is people who have left this place for a better opportunity and convenience, at least they should create some love and care for the place they were borne and raised, in their children too, who knows one day some of among them may come back and sets new examples, in the lap of nature. Also one thing, you didn't cover the state governments views and plans on this migration, which I would like to know in such future documentaries. Otherwise I like your videos very much, the way you represent, the music, cinematography everything. I feel very peaceful, after watching your videos, Thank you...
The story, the storytelling, place, situation, the vibe, the vibrance, the music everything is just delighted. The goodfeelling around is that gentleness of livelihood. Nd as you said...The root is always special, the beginning is always special...whether it is your first step as a child, your first home as an adult, first school, first argument, first car, first love, first kiss....everything. People departs, people returns. That's the sweetness of life. Keep living wherever you want to...just give a hand to make the surroundings beautiful too.
Beautiful film! And I like that you are continuing to do what you love even when not getting that many views recently. Please don't give up your originality and fall for clickbaity content. All the best 🙂
I'm from Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag district. My father was involved in the movement for the separate hilly state. He always says that the government fooled us by integrating planes areas (which btw have much different culture as well), in the newly carved out state. Why Roorkee, USNagar, and Rudrapur are in Uttarakhand? People living in these areas never supported the movement. Every advantage that Uttarakhand gets due to being a hill major state, is all taken away by the people in those planes areas. This is a serious and sad reality of Uttarakhand today.
@quickies2665 No people here also feel proud belonging to those villages. But it's our pathetic government that has done all the development work (roads, network, healthcare, schools, job creation) only for the plains areas. Most migrants from UP Bihar work in those factories in plains areas. Because they're ready to work at dirt cheap labour costs. We really want to kick these areas out of Uttarakhand.
Another wonderful video by you ayush. We are a bunch of IIT alumni, who set up an IT company in Karnal. Brought back more than 50 engineers back to this city
Hi Ethereal, Why did you stop posting videos?? I just discovered this channel and saw all the videos but realised soon you stopped creating more videos, Why?? I understand there will be reasons but still I would say please continue with the work you were doing. You know what it's my dream of making such videos but yet so far of achieving that dream..I would say keep up the good work going😊
I originally came from HariharPur a small village in Allahabad UP to Ghaziabad, UP. I was born and lived some happy years there, but my father had an aspiration to make me a government employee. He migrated in the year of my birth To Ghaziabad and later when I went to 1st Grade he called us as well. Now we have a house in Ghaziabad and we don't go to the village often. Grandparents still live there, they say "किसी को तो गाव में रहकर घर देखना है न, और हम पैदा यही हुए थे तो कहीं और कैसे मरे। " I want to go back to my village but now I am so weirdly mingled in these city chores that I can't untangle myself out of it.
I’m kumauni and my paternal village is a GHOST village of Almora. My father worked in PWD Uttarakhand. Reasons: 1. Pahadi people are highly literate compared to other regions and nobody wants to work in agriculture the only source of livelihood 2. Pine Tree- Pine tree is the worst for wildlife. No forestery for wild life. Monkeys and wild boar have devasted agriculture 3. Plains centric environment pf Uttarakhand. Capital is in plains, high court is also about to move from Nainital to Haldwani. All the bureaucrats and politicians want to live in Dehradun or Haldwani 4. No land laws… Punjabi and Aggarwal community has purchased huge chunk of prime lands from natives at through away prices Bachpan me when I used to visit my (now Ghost) village. Everywhere was chehal pehal, there was no road. We used to trek 4Km from nearest roadhead, now there is a road and school but no person living

My grandfather came to Delhi from Uttarakhand _pauri (nawan)……
Pauri Garhwal one of the worst migrated region in Uttarakhand,,,,,, now only one family of 2 members left in the village ,,,,whole village is turned into ghost village,, they all have their own helplessness and need including us…..
We can’t criticize people ,the main culprit is govt…….there is no education,,medical and employment facility ….
Now govt comes up with some helpful schemes but it’s kinda late anyways hope for a better tomorrow …
So many people can say big things but we have to be practical and it’s sad but it’s true……

@Anil Rawal sahi kaha ..
There are govt schools inUK but only a few students....It is easy to blame govt
India government ko China government ke tarah indian villages ko bhi develop karna chahiye
China 95 crores population lives in urban areas.....
I'm originally from Uttarakhand,,, a small beautiful village in pauri Garhwal..
My grandfather moved Delhi in search of good education n employment.. and from onwards we are here in Delhi but somewhere deep down inside our heart beats for Uttarakhand and we always make sure to go in village 2-3 times every year.....
Some woke people criticize our old generation for migration but I don't think like that..... situations were very poor those days.... no education ,no hospitals , no roads , no EMPLOYment,etc....I respect my grandfather decision.....instead of cribbing about what they did,,,,we should start thinking about what we can do ..... so make sure do regular visit to your hometown as much as possible,,,,, generate awareness ,,,employment,,,etc by any means..............
So to all my folks and some woke's,, if we start taking interest today the tomorrow will be better for sure..🙏🏼

In delhi uttarakhand population percentage is very high.....
Uttarakhand up bihar and haryana mostly migrated to delhi.....
This is a story almost in every rural part of India. We saw entire towns in Chettinad empty and most of them have migrated abroad. I shudder to think what will happen to our lived traditions. And I know most people to be not happy in cities.
Very good documentation!
I'm from Uttarakhand, people of uttrakhand wanted a hill state and they got hill Plus planes , and thus hill remain underdeveloped and ignored.its so saddening to see whole culture of thousand of Years is on verge of extinction.
This is because people here are fools. They never demand jobs, development from politicans. And stop this glorification of villages which is the main reason for unemployment and underdevelopment in Uttrakhand.
@@parveshbisht4955 people are fool every where , glorification is for culture not villages.
but still some places are more developed than others, if you can't comprehend that its the framework and circumstances that lead to development, then you need to grow up , Haryana was driest place and punjab was fertile, Haryana got separated based on Identity and became first in india to achieve full electrification, and completed huge irrigation projects, which in turn made it a prosperous state.
people of hills wanted a hill state, this would have forced the government to shift in hills, and a hill City like Shimla would have developed . all we are left with now is plane Dehradun, which the babus of government can enjoy.
@@varunkhugshal9049 plains are easy to develop than mountains. You are right that our politicans living in plains don't want to do anything for hills. They are even destroying plains. Dehradun is now overcrowded, dirty and even here there is not much employment.
I am from West Nepal, my maternal side our from Uttarakhand, the migration of hill folks is a sad thing to hear about. I studied at Simla Himachal Pradesh but the problem of migration is not in that hill state. I think so it's due to better financial support in Himachal like horticulture, tourism etc. Earlier under UP Kumaon and Gharwal were ignored and now the new state governments are also not doing much
@@arunchand9027 i am from shimla HP. Himachal m migration naa k brabr h
Iam from Kerala, my dad was in the defence forces, which made us go all over India, and it was good. But my parents took us to Kerala almost every year, which made us get close to our place, roots, language etc. Iam so thankful for that. Now in Kerala, I feel totally at home. Only sadness is my kid doesn't speak Malayalam inspite of my best efforts (but I get all the blame).
With kids it's practically impossible to teach them local language if you husband and wife don't use it for all communication. But in today's world it's very common to find husband and wife from different mother language so it becomes difficult to teach kids all three languages
@@rapiddu6482 but it's easy to force hindi upon south Indians even if we don't need it. Don't say ur not, govt. Is by effectively running parliament, banks and schemes, airports.
I ain't complaining, just letting u know how much we are suffering because of the burden of 3 language policy
Even if pahadis don't stay in their ancestral home, make sure that u visit ur home twice a year. And please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 don't sell ur land to outsiders. Pahadi ko he bechana , agar thoda kam rate mile tab bhi. Apni Dharti ki raksha karna sab se bada dharam hai sab ka. Jai Uttrakhand 🙏🙏🙏

And The Sweet Voice "Delhi Chalo" reminding me the famous Quote of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose :)
@12:05 The quote on his upper clearly said it, "Get over it".
Personally for me, moving from Manali, Himachal Pradesh to Toronto has been quite overwhelming. I am still trying to get over it. Maybe I never will. Despite the better living conditions I still miss my hometown especially because of our culture: our devis and devtas, folklore, kathkuni houses, music, dance, and traditional and healthy food.
People in the west talk a lot about the sustainability concepts which was already present in our culture. Living in harmony with nature, being part of the eco-system, understanding the weather patterns, mixed cropping, and using rare Himalayan herbs to treat life style disease and mental health issues.
As a person with ADHD, one side of me wants to make money where there are better jobs, but a part of me will forever be where I came from. 🌄
Run after money is endless. India is the mother of spirituality. Only a spiritual attitude to life can bring deep, long-lasting peace.
You can make money back in India also now. We are the 5th lassgest economy in the world.
Anyway whatever you do, make sure your come back home every year so that you and your kids are connected and can appreciate whats the real meaning of life.
I m originally from pithoragarh uttarakhand..my father left home to find job and served at harayana govt..that's how lakhs of PPL migrate from uttarakhand and never come back as they make their living in job place..but i m happy that my father came back to uttarakhand and we are here in uttarakhand..but most come to haldwani or doon or some plains areas as everyone wants medical and education for children.... our ancestoral home is still empty and we just go their in a year.sad but truth of each migrated uttarakhandi...
Very nice documentary, my ancestors 150 yrs ago migrated to Mumbai from Gujarat. 2yrs ago my husband had a business opportunity and we shifted to a small sleepy town of Gujarat. Slowly I realised how much our previous generations and ours had lost our roots. It was a divine plan to come here and have had realised all that. But transition isn't easy, when u have several generations before u who have been born and brought up in a metro city and then a sudden move to a small town. But it helped a lot, as I connected with my roots here. But in our next generation 90% is going to Canada/US.
Such a valuable contribution!
I migrated from a big city in South East Asia where I was born and raised via the USA to a little rural village in Europe some 30 years ago. The transition was painful initially. It took a gradual revamping of my inner values to accept the change. Now I'm self-sufficient in more ways than I would ever have been, had I remained in the city enjoying the instant gratifications that it provided. The practical knowledge I've acquired in the process of living off the land is not in the least comparable to the higher education I received in the US which limited me to one specialized field while ignorant of survival in nature. This includes food production, preservation, medicine, health care, and more specifically the spiritual dependency of nature (people included) on her creator.
When ever I see your videos...it gives me a pause from my busy life.
That pause actually is life.
@@EtherealColours yes ... indeed.
Lovely reportage indeed!
And greetings from Hamburg Germany 🇩🇪..
Reality of human living in the urban area's of himalaya..
I've lived in Himachal for 2 year's in 1988 & observed the hard life of farmer's..
The eternal struggle to merge culture with nature. More than the answer, we need to acknowledge the question. With urban population likely to double by 2047 and the urgency shown in urban planning, maybe the answer lies at the other side of the coin. Loved the camerawork and the heart you put into this.
Awareness of the aftermath of migration is very well depicted in your video. In many countries in Europe people are coming back and restoring the old homes with modern amenities and trying to live a second life after escaping from the cities. This is hopeful and if the government takes an interest in providing the basic amenities then maybe in India too this will happen. So the mindset needs to change. Thanks for this wonderful video
This video made me emotional. I'm from South India and my ancestors are from Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. From last three generations we have been staying in Hyderabad. I have only heard stories of my grandmother's natives and visited them as a tourist. The subject that you mentioned about roots, is absolutely absent for me. 😑
Great job again brother.
So sharing a bit of my personal story. I was born and brought up and still living and working for living in New Delhi. But my parents are from a sub town called Katwa in West Bengal and they migrated to Delhi to make a living. Though I do go there once in a year and have been going since childhood, when you go to such sub or small town and villeges you actually understand the difference. Difference in compact building and open nature, difference in standard of living, how every job matters be it cycling a rickshaw or selling fruties on street to being a part of a well corporate job. I do have decided one thing and thats what I have planned for future as well.
You want to earn money and make a living and safe for future? Live in big cities.
You have enough money now that you can utilize property to live rest of your life without a worry? Migrate to a sub town or Village or some place full of nature, open, less populated place. Where you can actually realize every breath you take in with pure oxygen.
❤❤❤❤
Thik bolechen,,,,
You've addressed the very core issue of uttarakhand.. this problem has given birth to total disappearance of a very beautiful culture and language.. governments without any vision/dedication and corruption are one of the root cause for this.
Dear friend , i also belongs to Uttarakhand, Migration is a big problem for entire Uttarakhand. I serve nation hence moved from my hometown ( not migrated as my mind and soul still resides there ) , i will grab them all once releived from my duties. the example of Roots , Stem and flower leaves was excellent ..............love those lines '' ki ab isi liye fool kam aate hain tahniyon par' kyunki vo jado se door ho gayi hai ' . All those who migrated from uttarakhand for a better life and currently living that are praiseworthy , But those who left their motherland and living compromised life in big cities , ... i request them please come back ...namak roti to yahan bhi kha sakte the...fir kyun ghar chod diya.
Ethreal contact me for more harsh reality regarding migration problem. keep it up.
Great topic, documentation, camera work, methodology, and the best is thing about this video is the poem at 13:48
Very beautiful and interesting film. Congrats from France 😊 Actually for same reasons the same thing happened here. But with lockdowns many people now go back to the countryside...
I'm a bit surprised to know that. I'm assuming that livelihood, health and education would not be the reason. Maybe it's the desire for an affluent life?
Journalist of the new age.
Thanks for highlighting such stories Ayush!
Wow, pinches the little hidden corner of one's heart!
I moved to bigger cities 12-15 years back due to work opportunities but always loved to spend time in my small hometown.
After this pandemic, the WFH and other basic necessities have brought me back to my town.
I try to spend half of the month in my town and half in the bigger city. I can see the difference and who knows I move back to where I belong sooner than expected.
Please do
Good information.
I was visited Gussain Village with my creative team in the year 2018 with one of my senior friend He is in Senior officer in the Navy ( Harmanjeet Singh Rekhi ) he is doing fabulous work with villagers in remote areas of this village. Hope you feel alive in Gussain Village like us. Thanks, brother.
Yrr kitne saare underrated channels haii... This has to top the list 😤
Well made documentary, crisp yet emotive. The irony is that inward migration from other states to Uttarakhand is also strongly discouraged by locals.
Its a beautiful meaningful film based upon a real issue of migration which is actually happening right in front of our eyes and we are not able to see the aftermath of it. Thanks Ayush for highlighting it in such a beautiful way. As always. You are my top favorites in the space of Indian UA-cam. God speed brother. 🙏🤗
You are wrong. Migration out of villages is a good thing. You are all getting it wrong. You can always visit the green places and enjoy the peace. Development is total disaster
But govt shud support people with subsidized housing for migrants. Like China did for 20 years 40 crore ppl were resettled.
Uttarakhand is my heart..I lived there for 15 years due to my father government job..I still miss that place..Kash vha bhi kuch progress ho Healthcare jobs school high education ki suvidha vha p bhi ho to logo ko vo jgh chorni na pde...beauty of Uttarakhand can not forgotten. I have no words to express my feeling towards Uttarakhand..people of there also very humble kind helping nature..kya hi kahu..Jo sukoon vha k chote chote gharo m h vo sehar ki advance lifestyle m bhi nhi h
Uttrakhand is only pahari people... Not for other communities
I am not from uttarakhand, but would love to stay there n work with the locals n live my life... It's sad that people have to leave because of their needs.... N ultimately forget heaven.
This video is technically very well done. The music and the editing is crisp, quite professional. The videography is also up to the mark, I really enjoyed some of the special effects. It's not as easy as it looks and many viewers miss the small little nuances, that the film-maker transfers from his mind to the screen. So, very well done.
Now about the subject... Many of those who move from the hills or smaller towns to bigger busier cities, think, alone what can they do. Don't despair, do whatever you can do, even if it's a single effort. Go for a week and teach in the village, volunteer to teach what you are best in. If you have a little finance, try building a wall or a roof of the school, assemble a PC and gift it, if u are a doctor, offer a free medical check up and distribute prescribed medicines. Keep it simple, do what you can do. Maybe you can take a group of friends and stay a few nights, thus provide work and earnings to the villagers staying back. Even if 1% of the viewers think and take action, the soul will return to these ghost villages. All the best and take care everyone.
Ye rubber muh hai kuch bhi bolo, famous saying by my uncle jee
The problem is ignorance..
The Government did nothing for our people living in hilly terrain..
We have fertile land and lots of water.. we can grow anything like apples kiwi exotic veggies..
But without roads nothing is possible..You will not see any gosht village in Himachal.. because they have good roads that's why they're growing apple and running homestay..
excellent comment. 👍👌🙏🙋

Mein rudraprayag district se hu aur mein bhi is cheez ke bare me bahut sochta hu ki hum lifestyle ke chkkar mein itna pyara uttrakhand bhoolte ja rahe hain. Jab shehar mein koi problem hoti hai toh uttrakhand hi yaad atta hai har bar. Hum Nayi pidi ko Sochna chahiye ki atleast saal me 2 baar apne gaon Jayein
Yeh badi achi baat kahi aapne.
Prr ab kya fyda. Tum sab log Uttrakhand se bhag rahe ho aur other states ke log waha apne lodges aur hotels bana rahe hai. Jaa ke dekho Rudraprayag mein ab UP ke Muzlims ghum rahe hai. Srinagar mein bhi.
Yahi natija hota hai jabtak insan ke pass koi cheej hoti hai uski dekhrekh woh kabhi nhi karta. Prr ab yeh sab dekhkar bhi dimag nhi aa raha thikane to bhool jao. Uttrakhand ka culture bhi doop jayeha Tehri ki tarah.

My name Rinku,I belongs to Uttarakhand and I live in my village which is located in Uttarakhand before covid I was working in a restaurant, getting good money, living going lifestyle,lekin zindagi mai bas ek cheez khatak rhi thi ki "kya ham apne pahad mai rhkar kuch job nhi kar skte h", because job is number one reason for migration,and then thanks to covid ,jiski wjh se ham apne gaw mai ruke,aur hmare us wqt ye sunne ko nhi milta tha ki "beta kab ja rha h Naukri par"?? "kitne din ki chuuti aaya h"?? aur is wqt muze time mila ghar par hi kuch job ka,then I joined UA-cam actually I already uploads videos on youtube lekin lockdown mai it's like an opportunity for me to upload more content,and results kya rha I uploaded content on youtube,and I earned money's,,so job ka problem to solve,then post lockdown jab log dhere dheere fir se apni apni job ke liye wapis sahar gye,at that time mai aur mere kuch dosto ne decide kiya ki we will not go back,,and do something for our people, for ourself,and still I am in village doing my online job,and my friend found in job in local market shop.
So this is my story of #Notgoingback
Brilliant! I really loved the overall subject of your stories - have managed to see only a few - and it is something I really empathise with.
Dare say, I have travelled a lot - on foot - and the journey to Milam glacier in Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand holds out a charm such as no other! The physical and the scenic aspects of the trek were undoubtedly magnificent, but what was more enduring and poignant were the sights of the abandoned villages and the stories of families that have migrated to the cities.
You have presented every festival and culture of India very well with the eyes of your camera, this time come to Bihar and present our Mahaparv Chhath in front of everyone with your eyes, this is not a festival, it is an emotion for us, definitely come only 6 days are left.
Beautifully documented, loved watching it, really triggers thoughts.
I always say you are not a travel vlogger. You are a movie maker, a great one. I m disappointed to see so less views , looking at the piece you ve made. Creativity at its best.keep it up. Very proud of you
You took my words Zeenat very well said he's amazing.
It is heart wrenching to look at the condition of the state I was born in has been reduced to shambles. Apart from Dehradun, Nainital, Roorkee etc. there is absolutely no amount of support or structure from the state machinery. Private investments are fine, but to what extent?! What about the common denominator? Even the aspect of tourism has not been looked at from a holistic perspective.
Awesome video. Let me share my story my dad came to Delhi in search of a job leaving behind a beautiful village Mjedakhatta, Kumaun. I lived in Delhi and finished my education. At the age of 22 I moved to Florida, United states for career and better work opportunities. I miss my Pahad!
Thanks for sharing! Glad you liked the video.
Thank you bro..Is video me tumhari mehnat or palayan ka dukh saaf dikh rha hai...
Heart touching account of how our roots are being forgotten! Change is inevitable, but if it is taking us away from our culture, our roots, it is heartbreaking. The current system is completely western! Education , lifestyle, food, everyday products, dressing and what not. There are many factors that we can blame but it is of no help. Glad to see some people trying to change this, if more people realize this and turn to their roots and stand for what holds real value, we can definitely get back to our roots! At least some!
Western culture is better.

Thank you so much, i can so well relate to it. It takes a lot of determination, will power and scarifice to quit a cushy corporate job and come back to your roots and do something meaningful. Now after 7 years of grit and scarifice we have been able to create employment for the rural population as well as launch some of the most loved tea brands right from a small town in Assam- Woolah Tea & The Tea Leaf Theory. India needs to celebrate grassroot entrepreneurs to encourage reverse brain drain.
In search of a new life is the motivation and it will not allow anyone still and our racing is an ongoing process for the best ! In reality one should learn that with a ground which is rooted is most enriching than away from it!

Absolutely Good thing! Nothing wrong with emptying of villages and moving to cities. It’s happening in Europe and South America too.
I understand your idea of finding the reason, but you need to emphasize it’s a good thing. We need to open more green spaces for trees forests and animals.
Govt shud build more apartments for people to move in.I hope Delhi Bombay Bangalore and other metro cities will one day host 100 crore people so we can empty the green spaces. It’s important for human health. Only some farmers shud stay in villages otherwise it should stay wild and pristine, to save our rivers and eco systems. Educate people about that.
Otherwise In Overpopulated india only humans will be left everything else will die.
Beautiful and peaceful place. We here in North America are trying to find places like this within our own places. Prices are out extremely high. However, this ghost town is a gem. When I retire I want to live there.😊 I am not from India but send me there please. Would love it.😊

I am from ghansali tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand. I am 25 years old.
We used to live in Ludhiana with family, i then moved to Chandigarh, kolkata n so on for work, In lockdown i was stuck in kolkata for 8 months i really felt lost, i lost my father . Then i decided to move back to my village built a new house, now we live in village, my brother got married here we have one buffalo, and j am exploring the possibilities to do something on my own here.
N we can't really blame anyone, govt is trying but people aren't supporting, everyone likes the fancy lifestyle of cities but some of us realise it lately that this isn't what i want to do. I think the youth of Uttarakhand should get well educated n earn some good money first n then come back n atleast sit n try to think what can we do so that the people who are left here don't have to migrate.
Note : my brother lives in japan, so can just sit n think about it, govt can't provide work to everyone n we shouldn't be expecting it to happen in a free economy. It's on us

I can feel that because the things that happened with these villages is currently happening in my village.
Peoples are migrating in cities for better lifestyle and the intresting thing is that some of them are not earning much money they are daily wages labour and their lifestyle becomming worse in the cities.In village they have a nice home field and good persons to talk while in city they have to adjust in one room and they have nothing more than this. But their mindset is that they are living a good life their in cities 😟 this thing that herts me a lot is they are cutting their roots from where they actually originated.
Actually, the migrant labourer migrates not for a better lifestyle. She/he does it because of the lack of basic necessities (like livelihood). They know more than anyone else that the life in the village is much more peaceful. They can feel the tension in the air in the cities, when they come for the first time.
They way the world is run, if they don't follow it, it will mean they and their children will get left behind in the so called 'race' to nowhere. They are left with no choice.
One of the best and soul touching documentary, so far I have seen. My personal view on this story is people who have left this place for a better opportunity and convenience, at least they should create some love and care for the place they were borne and raised, in their children too, who knows one day some of among them may come back and sets new examples, in the lap of nature. Also one thing, you didn't cover the state governments views and plans on this migration, which I would like to know in such future documentaries.
Otherwise I like your videos very much, the way you represent, the music, cinematography everything. I feel very peaceful, after watching your videos, Thank you...
The story, the storytelling, place, situation, the vibe, the vibrance, the music everything is just delighted. The goodfeelling around is that gentleness of livelihood. Nd as you said...The root is always special, the beginning is always special...whether it is your first step as a child, your first home as an adult, first school, first argument, first car, first love, first kiss....everything. People departs, people returns. That's the sweetness of life. Keep living wherever you want to...just give a hand to make the surroundings beautiful too.
Beautiful film! And I like that you are continuing to do what you love even when not getting that many views recently. Please don't give up your originality and fall for clickbaity content. All the best 🙂

Guddu दा का कहना बिलकुल सही है कि हम बागवानी करके , औषधीय पौधों की खेती कर के रिटायरमेंट के बाद अपने जड़ों से जुड़ सकते हैं

भाई आपका काम बहुत सराहनीय है। 👏 Great Job
I'm from Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag district. My father was involved in the movement for the separate hilly state. He always says that the government fooled us by integrating planes areas (which btw have much different culture as well), in the newly carved out state. Why Roorkee, USNagar, and Rudrapur are in Uttarakhand? People living in these areas never supported the movement. Every advantage that Uttarakhand gets due to being a hill major state, is all taken away by the people in those planes areas. This is a serious and sad reality of Uttarakhand today.
@quickies2665 No people here also feel proud belonging to those villages. But it's our pathetic government that has done all the development work (roads, network, healthcare, schools, job creation) only for the plains areas. Most migrants from UP Bihar work in those factories in plains areas. Because they're ready to work at dirt cheap labour costs. We really want to kick these areas out of Uttarakhand.
Beautiful videos, interviews with the locals! Loved your commentary.
Epic story, beautifully captured !! Loved how the small girl was surprised to hear that there are schools in Delhi
So saddened to see... I am from Dehradun and I love the pahadi culture... Although my hometown is UP.
Uttarakhand people pls come back...
❤️
Another wonderful video by you ayush. We are a bunch of IIT alumni, who set up an IT company in Karnal. Brought back more than 50 engineers back to this city
Hi Ethereal, Why did you stop posting videos?? I just discovered this channel and saw all the videos but realised soon you stopped creating more videos, Why?? I understand there will be reasons but still I would say please continue with the work you were doing. You know what it's my dream of making such videos but yet so far of achieving that dream..I would say keep up the good work going😊
I am from uttarakhand and life is tough there , we are here to fullfill our basic necessities
I am feeling sad to see this
@@techfusion1072 , no need to feel sad if you can't even decorate your village and come there atleast 2 times a year.
I originally came from HariharPur a small village in Allahabad UP to Ghaziabad, UP.
I was born and lived some happy years there, but my father had an aspiration to make me a government employee.
He migrated in the year of my birth
To Ghaziabad and later when I went to 1st Grade he called us as well. Now we have a house in Ghaziabad and we don't go to the village often.
Grandparents still live there, they say "किसी को तो गाव में रहकर घर देखना है न, और हम पैदा यही हुए थे तो कहीं और कैसे मरे। "
I want to go back to my village but now I am so weirdly mingled in these city chores that I can't untangle myself out of it.
Amazing work, Hats off💥💢
Migrate for better living standards but return to your roots to uplift the new saplings...
Be the chain breaker...Be the change maker🌸
i am also from uttrakhand , my father left the village for job
i just saw your video and feel connected .
I’m kumauni and my paternal village is a GHOST village of Almora. My father worked in PWD Uttarakhand.
Reasons:
1. Pahadi people are highly literate compared to other regions and nobody wants to work in agriculture the only source of livelihood
2. Pine Tree- Pine tree is the worst for wildlife. No forestery for wild life. Monkeys and wild boar have devasted agriculture
3. Plains centric environment pf Uttarakhand. Capital is in plains, high court is also about to move from Nainital to Haldwani. All the bureaucrats and politicians want to live in Dehradun or Haldwani
4. No land laws… Punjabi and Aggarwal community has purchased huge chunk of prime lands from natives at through away prices
Bachpan me when I used to visit my (now Ghost) village. Everywhere was chehal pehal, there was no road. We used to trek 4Km from nearest roadhead, now there is a road and school but no person living
