Quarantined in Rishikesh today. Watching Ma Ganga flow from a window ledge. In the morning light the emerald green mixes with the pink sun, twirling in vortexes. Thanks for the great video. Lets all make mental offerings to her, not put plastic floating candles into her.
These western media outlets think differently that Indian who are almost 7000 years of known history do not know anything. They say killing the river and I am sad at their ignorance and not sure why they make such documentaries
you can see the river in documentary in your country and why you come to watch the river in physical form. offering is to make some changes in personal life and give satisfaction. Ganga can give life to people and it will never die (as the author refers many times) I feel very bad when they use those words.
I'm from Malaysia and I just visited ganges on September 2022, super clean. It's very unlike the ganges shown in this documentary. I even went to the Kasi Viswanathan temple, it's Soo beautiful. I felt blessed to be there. Wish to go there again.

I watched parts 1 and 2 - and want to thank you Mr. Pete McBride - for doing the footwork and intense research to bring appreciation and closeness to both our ecology and human race. You are great and I really enjoyed this documentary. If I were a wealthy person - I would donate to this cause - but sees being that I am not - I can only hope that it will effect others that are and able - as it did myself.

Wonderful video. It is worth remembering that the Ganga river has also been - mainly through agriculture and trade - one of the key reasons that India has been among the materially wealthiest countries in the world over the past 3000 years. Patna (Pataliputra) was the capital of the glorious Mauryan and Gupta empires that wowed the ancient Greeks. Later, Bengal became the wealthiest region in the world during the Mughal times (as noted by the historian William Dalrymple). All thanks to the resources of Ganga.

Great and truthful presentation. First we Indians should have courage to accept the fact. He is not defying Hindu religion nor India. Whatever he mentioned is a hard hitting truth. He mentioned cricket as a national game in the context that it is being played widely in the country. All Indians kindly accept the fact and try to contribute cleaning the river in some way. I think preventing water resources is more sacred and important than preventing religion. I think without religion human can live (we did during ancient times) but not without water and ecosystem👍👍

They do not understand their own country like the latest cyclone bomb in Buffalo NY and it killed 40 people in a day. think if that gets worst for few days.
Very nice video, well researched well photographed and created....every Indian must watch this. I am indian, grown in North India and can see things of Video everyday close to Ganga. River Yamuna, a tributary of Ganga, is just used to drain the waste of factory and city in its bank, could be Delhi or Agra, it is a same story. PM Modi is working towards cleaning it, not sure how much he can succeed, as Hindu beliefs are major factor in Ganga's pollution. Note: Video is about Ganga, don't worry if fact about Cricket is wrong. You should appreciate the research of presenter/Nat Geo of Hindu believes. His effort to collect video and photographs form Kanpur leather factory or Agra or remote part of Himalaya.
I used to work as a whitewater jet boat captain on the upper Ganges River up stream from Rishikesh 20 something years ago. More than once we came across guys dynamite fishing! Sort of making a Bang Lasi of the holly river. I am one of those people who found great adventure in India and do love the place but pollution is pollution and the river is a mess below Rishikesh. With the ever increasing population outstripping everything and replacing it with garbage, nothing is actually going to get better. You young people get your butts in gear, go see and live whats left before it's gone!

Hey, Indians, Nepalis, Hindus, Buddhists and Jains alike. Check out my UA-cam channel. You will like it. If your wondering why I speak in an Indian accent, my friend Yatendra struggles to understand American accents
Eye opening! We must realise ganges is sick and a lot of rituals are spoiling it. its the most sacred river and me must contribute to keep it that way.
Great job Nat Geo.. Very well made, some clarifications that i'll like to make since western mind thinks differently than eastern: 1) God in east doesn't refer to a physical form.. God is more closer to energy rather than western god 2) That story about river originating from Shiva's hair is more dialectical.. please dont take it literally. Most Indian history is in form of such stories since stories are said to be keep listeners engrossed than facts 3) You don't just take a dip and clesr all your sins. To attain moshka is a long process, taking the dip helps you but is not a cheat to heaven.. I have a long list to go, but then this comment will be few pages long..
If you look closely at the oxygen graph, you can see that they mention in the x axis labels that Agra was on the Yamuna. Also he says that out loud multiple times.
ganges doesnot flow near kolkata ... it flows into bangladesh where its name changes to padma river and in bangladesh also river brahmputra river empties itself and eventually both padma and brahmputra meet (so there is technically a "prayag" in bangladesh too minus religious veneration) ... before ganges flows into bangladesh part of it is diverted by farakkha barrage and it is this diverted water that is fed into hoogly river that flows near kolkata
Outstanding! It would be very easy for us to point fingers. Just make sure to acknowledge the 3 pointing back at us because we are worse in our pollution. Our EPA did not exist before 1970 and it took tragedies and global condemnation to get us moving.
Well as the unbiased foreigner pointed out, he british n muslim tanneries which "WE" have allowed no doubt, hence we should unite n make sure Mr Modi delivers his promise on rectifying our past n present mistakes
Our ancestors, the ancient vedic Hindus worshipped rivers, because we believed that God is omnipresent, he is present in his creation & river, a source of water, life, agriculture for the ancient man is sacred, it is a manifestation of God in form of nature. Our rituals have developed through ages to honor the existence of these rivers, pay homage to them and respect them, however the modern & medieval man shifted from the real rituals to polluting these rivers by throwing their waste in these rivers, our rituals & prayers go in vain if we do not respect the very existence of Ganga & keep polluting it. The Government should declare our rivers as national natural heritage and levy heavy fine for polluting these rivers. We need to save them before the last of these water sources die off due to human waste.
Not a bad documentary, but it will always be difficult to explain to Western audiences the subtleties of India. The contrasts between cultures are highlighted by the different approach to death. In the US death is hidden, sanitised and feared. In India death is a far more visible and integral part of daily life. Something unavoidable, not something to be denied and escaped.
What do you mean? Western cultures don't mourn when someone dies? Only Indians mourn, when someone dies? Westerners don't have emotions or love in their lives? What do you mean by death is a part of daily life in India?
@@Sonu-tz2js no no... in hinduism death is an important part of life Birth and death are connected, because soul is eternal Birth is gaining materisltic body Death is gaining a high spiritual knowledge till it gain moksha
@@alexicasalajan You are either way too rich or way too nonchalant or way too ascetic. Normal people see glaring issues being put to back burner all the time. I would like to ask you, what kind of personality you have? What is your background & what drives you?
Mr Pete the yamuna river at agra is a tributary of the ganges from gangotri river and the yamuna comes from yamunotri river the river yamuna is highly polluted in delhi and when it comes to mathura a refinery is there so agra doesn't pollute river majorly cause there are very few industries in agra and a ban in agra for polluting industries
Incase anyone was as confused as me, he says around the 5 minute mark the dam produces 200,000 MW of power, its actually 1000, and they are planning to increase capacity to 2000.
There is a big problem that I see already at minute 14 in this documentary. The host mentions the Ganges in front of Agra (Taj Mahal), and although I have never been to India, I atleast know that in front of Agra you have teh Yamuna river, NOT the Ganges. True the Yamuna is a tributarie of the Ganges, but treating one as the other is to me a lack of professionalism. Not to mention all of his data might be "contaminated" (laugh and pund intendes), since he speaks about the river restoring itself, yet ofcourse it can restore itself if we consider the point of entry into the Ganges, NO???
The speaker mentioned that NITRATE is blown in from China. This is incorrect: The air current is blowing from South over the Himalaya to China's Tibet year round, there is no industrial center within thousands of miles from Indian border.
this guy is saying some things that are utter bullsh!t. People are not polluting coz it's sacred and can't be polluted, it's being polluted coz of population growth, urbanization and industrialization. This river has been sacred for 5000 years, it didn't get polluted for last 5000 but last 60 years or so
+nikhilkay1 Your logic has failed you. The MAIN reason that the river is polluted is the religious beliefs that the people of India hold. The ridiculous increase in population only magnifies the issue. What do you know.... religion is yet again ruining another thing on this planet!
+RyanSlays you are such a idiot. This river is sacred for last 10000 years 8000 years before christ. This wasn't polluted for last 10000 of it's known history. Something changed in last 60 years, and what is pretty clear is urbanization and industrialization. Nothing to do with religion ! Hindu religion cares about nature than any other religion. Science has failed here!!!
nikhilkay1 There haven't been over 1 BILLION PEOPLE in India EVER until the last 20 years. The sheer number of people MAGNIFIES the damage that was already done. You are a fucking idiot.. This is a very simple concept that is 100% correct
nikhilkay1 Oh my god, you really are an idiot. I can't believe I have to explain this SIMPLE LOGIC to you 1. There are over 1 BILLION fucking people in India 2. 5,000 fucking years ago there were probably less than 5 Million people in India 3. If 5 Million people do the same thing as the 1 BILLION people do today, obviously there is significantly less of an impact on the river 4. Since there are over 200 times more people in INDIA TODAY (Probably more than 200x) , then the impact of what the same 5 Million people from 5000 years ago were doing, is MAGNIFIED and causes the river to essentially die The religion allows people to pollute the river in the first place. If the stupid ass religious view didn't exist, the river would not be remotely as bad as it is today. How do you not get that the sheer AMOUNT OF PEOPLE polluting the river is the reason why it is dead. Honestly,. how old are you? I feel as if I'm talking to a child.
This is the west in AWE of the story of the GOD in Sanatan Dharma and also making sense of the how the river gets back to life without hurting it's devotees who might unknowing hurt the mother like a baby kicks and nicks when getting nursed by it's mother..Ganga

This video stated most of the facts about how much the rivers are polluted and I like to say some points which are It is the Yamuna river which flow through Taj Mahal, Agra. They tested water purity for Yamuna river and Hockey is National sport of India not cricket
Zinc in Chinese websites and in life has been considered a MUST for growth. There hasn't been solid finding about toxic effect of Zinc, especially from zinc intensive water. But Zinc in body can be replaced by other heavy metals like lead. There was cases of blood cancer burst in Shanghai decades ago. The conclusion is lead pollution in water, not Zinc. Not sure what other chemical effects could turn zinc into lead.
Nat Geo should also make a documentary on the amount of C02 emissions by the US, Oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico and plastic dumping into the ocean and then you will know what toxic really means.
E todos os rios entristecidos desaguam no mar?!! E tantos rios e afluentes com a espuma tóxica de muitos dias !!! Os rios têm os dias contados e escoados de vida??
India is very sacred place indeed. It has very special energy field, which one can not find in other places of earth... It's a very relaxing country which you can see from the animals on the street. Human and nature are very close. Thanks for all the efforts. Science can only provide evidence that can be detected, but not evidence that can not be detected.
information is very good but there is a small problem that some information are not able to understand you have to make some modern video demos for giving information

3. If 5 Million people do the same thing as the 1 BILLION people do today, obviously there is significantly less of an impact on the river
4. Since there are over 200 times more people in INDIA TODAY (Probably more than 200x) , then the impact of what the same 5 Million people from 5000 years ago were doing, is MAGNIFIED and causes the river to essentially die
The religion allows people to pollute the river in the first place. If the stupid ass religious view didn't exist, the river would not be remotely as bad as it is today.
How do you not get that the sheer AMOUNT OF PEOPLE polluting the river is the reason why it is dead.
Honestly,. how old are you? I feel as if I'm talking to a child.
They claim that they love the river so much that they are killing it softly with their love
Lovely ✨
17:41 it's called 'Durga puja' not durja puga
I am trying to use this video for an essay on Ganges pollution but many of the graphs have no units labeled. :(
This is the west in AWE of the story of the GOD in Sanatan Dharma and also making sense of the how the river gets back to life without hurting it's devotees who might unknowing hurt the mother like a baby kicks and nicks when getting nursed by it's mother..Ganga
12:09 he claimed that the kids were playing cricket the "national sport" when it's field hockey which is Indias national sport
Where is the part 1 of this video?
great documentary...
9:19 this is yamuna, not ganga
Any1 from school lol! Great video btw :)
U r right..bro, because I live in Agra.
1:15 to the right of the mountain peak in the sky you can see two faces male & female like they are hugging each other top male bottom female and i see more but better keep it simple this is the place where our father Adam came down from heaven
Please do the testing now (2019) to see the toxicity and contamination as what happened to the money allocated by Modi Government ?????
probably gone in bjp politicians and mp's pockets!!!
@@ianthomas5895 another chamcha
i'm not a chamcha.....i neither support bjp nor congresss......
@@ianthomas5895 Then being neutral you must appreciate when the govt works, when it's corruption free. BJP's top level members are great and real patriot, We never had such level of cabinet ministry so what's the harm in appreciating the appreciable!?
gr8 Job....All the very best
Amazing documentation
Anyone knows where to obtain the graphs or if there is a research paper published with the data?
very nice.. we should think about it.. & do somthing to get over it,,,
Yes we can think how to throw more dead body so that the water b more holy
where i could find the part 1 ?
What an incredible video. It seems like such a mystical place. Very well presented.
Very nice and inspiring work. Loved it.
but missed a lot spectacular views of river ( another side of story is weak ).
This video stated most of the facts about how much the rivers are polluted and I like to say some points which are It is the Yamuna river which flow through Taj Mahal, Agra. They tested water purity for Yamuna river and Hockey is National sport of India not cricket
Interesting video.
Har Har Gange.... 🙏🙏
very nice .. all he said is true
🎀 very informative
Zinc in Chinese websites and in life has been considered a MUST for growth. There hasn't been solid finding about toxic effect of Zinc, especially from zinc intensive water. But Zinc in body can be replaced by other heavy metals like lead. There was cases of blood cancer burst in Shanghai decades ago. The conclusion is lead pollution in water, not Zinc. Not sure what other chemical effects could turn zinc into lead.
Nat Geo should also make a documentary on the amount of C02 emissions by the US, Oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico and plastic dumping into the ocean and then you will know what toxic really means.
India tops it
E todos os rios entristecidos desaguam no mar?!! E tantos rios e afluentes com a espuma tóxica de muitos dias !!! Os rios têm os dias contados e escoados de vida??
very eye opening baba very nice baba
India is very sacred place indeed. It has very special energy field, which one can not find in other places of earth... It's a very relaxing country which you can see from the animals on the street. Human and nature are very close. Thanks for all the efforts. Science can only provide evidence that can be detected, but not evidence that can not be detected.
information is very good but there is a small problem that some information are not able to understand you have to make some modern video demos for giving information
But this is very long ago
ok
@@justinethanam5874 I did not understand
Great video 👌🏻🙏
