Can't help but look at the little girl running carefree at 2:06 She seems 7-8 years old. Meaning she was born about 125 years ago. Whats even more fascinating is that every single face here had a unique life and a unique story. And we will never know them, beyond a single glimpse of their face.
In last 100 years life has improved drastically, my mother tells me when they where kids they would often skip meals because there was no food, sometimes they would eat a weird kind of barley which would make them sleep for 2 days because it was difficult to get food and sleeping children would not feel hungry or cry for food. My grandfather would often work as laborer in farms, if there is no work he would walk far away in towns to beg for food that was in 1970s. I feel lucky to be born in 90s when life had improved significantly
Indians are descendants of Africans. Indians should be proud of their dark skin instead of trying to whiten it and asskissing white people from the West.
मेरे मम्मी पापा ने भी इस तरह के दिन देखे हैं अपने बचपन में, जब कई बार खाने को नहीं होता था.... और कोई लंगर सिस्टम भी नहीं था... मेरी मम्मी मामा ने खाली पेट भी पढ़ाई की है..
True. And now 'modern' Indians take everything for granted. They take freedom and independence for granted. Worse yet, they have forgotten the beauty and uniqueness of their own heritage. They take pride in moving abroad and showing off foreign culture. It's a sad state of affairs.
see, taali ek haath se nahi bajti, there were only 20,000 British soldiers all across india and there were 5 crore Indians. They were dumb that they didn't revolt against British. Coward ancestors we once had. Shame. They joined British army by themselves, they didn't think about the coming generation, only did they was to join their armies and kill their own indian brothers. Lanat hai ese ancestors pe.
My heart breaks watching this. No clothes to wear. All are surviving doing anything to just feed themselves. Innocent simple people.. I cannot even imagine how my ancestors crossed this phase and struggled. They went through so much so that we can have everything that they couldn't. 💔
2:06, the girl running, she could easily be the mother of someone's grandfather or grandmother from this present generation, may be older. If she is even 6 years old in 1906, that is 120 years old now.

My grandfather was a freedom fighter and he was from Assam, North-East India. He was a handsome guy, a drama actor, a football player, he was one of the coolest guy I know. Me and and my cousins used to watch WWE with him, played carom (where he always used to defeat us). During independence movements, he devoted himself to Gandhi and his movement as most of the people. He even joined Khadi Board because he was very inspired by Gandhi's Swaraj movement. Even till his death, he never wore pant and shirts, he used to wear dhoti and kurta everywhere. He died at 92 years old after battling with alzheimer for 3 years.
My Grandfather was born in 1900 and was still alive when we were children,he used to say How his grandfather traveled from Visakhapatnam to Madras by ship that was sometimes in the 1870s and from there travelled to Srirangam,Trichy,Tirupati and Madurai mostly by bullock cart or horse cart.The pilgrimage took at least 8 months..
Swa mi Vivekananda travelled from Kolkata to chennai only by ship in June1899 via Bay of Bengal The Railway line from Kolkata to chennai was laid only in 1905 or so
When this was filmed, my granddad was almost 40 years old, and most of my parents older siblings had been born. The street is clearly in Tamil Nadu (Madurai, noted below). In 1971, when I visited a town smaller than Madurai not far away, the bullock carts were still in use as public transport, with no motor car taxis. Brahmin men with shaved heads were only amongst people who were older than 70 or so. Around 1935 or so, young guys stopped shaving their heads.

A Índia tinha 240 milhões de pessoas em 1906, mais do que a população do Brasil hoje, é muito estranho pensar que nem uma dessas milhões de pessoas estão vivas mais hoje. 😪
Não entendi o motivo de você estranhar... essa filmagem tem 116 anos. É claro que as pessoas não estariam vivas, independentemente da Índia ter mais habitantes naquela época que o Brasil hoje. 🤨
Mas deixaram descendentes é o que importa. Previsões mostram que quando o Brasil chegar em 230 milhões de habitantes a população irá começar a reduzir igual acontece hoje em dia no Japão, é o correto.
None of the living thing shown in this video would have been alive at this date. There was a whole moving world years before i was born, so also there will be a whole moving world years after i die. Hum sab musaafir hain yahan, so bookish but so true.
A lot of people talking rubbish here like "look how fit they look and bla bla" There was not so much food because of droughts and famine and british exploitation with additional inequality. If you think that they was enjoy than just adopt their lifestyle for a month. Eat half of your the meal only once a day and don't use any vehicle and travel barefoot.
Invasions and looters of western countries are the causes of poverty of preindependance but starting from scratch is a difficult proposition. We should have concentrated on agriculture and village industries for self sufficient in all respects.
For all those heartbroken that we didn't have any clothes to wear, men mostly were bare chested as most of them were farmers . A glorious nation which was robbed blind and converted into the poorest by foreign invaders has now risen from the ashes and will again take its rightful place in a decade.
while it's true the British did a lot of evil things, but "India" didn't exist as a single country before. A loose collection of several diverse states and kingdoms were consolidated by the British, turned poor, and then partition was arbitrarily done, which led to further unprecedented violence, succeeding the previous massacres and droughts, famines and what not.
It is controversial, but a lot of the present problems in India are due to the fact that India is a country. It is simply too diverse to be a single country. I know not one nation which has similar cultural, ethnic and religious diversity and is developed. The US has a lot of ethnic diversity perhaps, but there is a lot of homogeneity in the societal fabric and overall infrastructure, unlike India. A state like West Bengal is absolutely different from something like Rajasthan or Uttaranchal. The ambition to make India great one day, on par with the western economies, is a commendable one, but it just might be too ambitious. I surely hope it happens, but I don't see the problems going away soon.
So beautiful and charming. Such practical clothing/costumes according to the weather. Lovely carts, lovely architecture. The costumes and traditions suggest, this could be Tamil Nadu in Southern India.
there are 2 POVs to see this clip 1: having sympathy for them cause they lived in pathetic conditions as compared to ours and seeing this as history. 2: early man has become so developed that he has learned to build buildings and even a device called camera in which he can capture moments of his life...he has even become more civilised than ever learned living in a social system
Correction: We were much rich before being looted by these britishers who are posting the video in name of fundraiser and by the mughals bastards these destroyed our economy and culture.
ना जाने कितने ही लोग आए और कितने ही चले गए। हम मानव भी इस ब्रह्माण्ड की एक प्रजाति ही हैं जो समय के साथ और अधिक विकसित और ताकतवर होती जा रही है, लेकिन अब तक मृत्यु पर हमारी प्रजाति भी विजय नहीं पा सकी और शायद भविष्व में भी ना पा सकेगी। अतः मित्रों परमात्मा के दिए हुए इस अनमोल जीवन का भरपूर आनंद लें और स्वस्थ और मस्त रहें क्योंकि हम यहां अस्थाई तौर पर आएं हैं स्थाई तौर पर नहीं। ☺️🙏
For people: Since old times, people dressed like this only in India. Painting found of a king on his throne too was wearing just a small piece of cloth, with little jwellery. That is because India is both hot and humid, people liked to stay like that only. And it is also not like that Indians ever lacked clothes anyway. It was literally largest exporter of textiles in whole world, it's textiles reached Japan in East to Portugal in West.
It has to be these streets even we Indians cant tell where is this place the person who recorded this footage 100 years back should have also kept a record of the name of the road where he took it Madurai is like a town temple historic city , ua-cam.com/video/-d9txudgjJw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/w1ksiceIR2Q/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/2zToVDokVNo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/5W6-R5abIjo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/xYUfADD0Tt0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/XySIb5SuWxA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/86eee2iT-Hw/v-deo.html Its has to be East Masi street in Madurai since Ther Mutti is a area or place were people buy groceries, ua-cam.com/video/IdpCAe89RuM/v-deo.html It looks some where like a town market place and with small shops near towards the city temples to me,nothing much has changed apart from people having car's and Bikes and Auto rickshaws with problem with pollution and garbage problem in some places and some small improvement in infrastructure especially concrete roads in some places and footpath in some places with some Street lamp lights installed in some places and some new modern Buildings and shops that have come over the years with old temples found in some market places also their are people wearing cloths to cover them selves fully now and with new fashion and Western mixed fashion with traditional clothes also.

It is because of resilience and struggle of these people that even after the brutal, ugly, barbaric and violent British rule- we still have a country which has diversity, democracy and strength. As a country we have suffered so much from colonialism to invasions but still never had chaos of a civil war or a breakdown of the nation. God bless 🇮🇳 ❤
@@thetrollslayer3716 Nahhh, my family was really poor, even tho they were Brahmins, now they are pretty rich because they started working outside of India. But still some people in my family are still struggling, and they didnt even get help during Covid cause they didnt had reservation.
It's so wonderful to see all those people who used to walk and live on the same place as we are as of today. Yet sad at the same time that none of them are alive. Time is such a devil digester.Over the decades and centuries,it digests almost everything. We will be all gone when the day comes. So dreamy.
My take... Obviously, it's just a sample of India. Not all the people were of physical structure and colour as seen here. We all know that there were fat bellies, obese and little fair to very fair skins were also there in the period the video was shot. It was a hot day with Sun at the back of Camera. Only working class people were seen in such a hot day on the streets. Mainly wholesale buyers and their coolies come to the market street. People seemed to roam around to run an errand or seek petty jobs. Kids and women too are seen perhaps passing through for some household reasons. Most People were making hand to mouth income by hardworking. But for epidemic or pandemic, diseases were unheard of. People had healthy diet, hardworking and good immunity. The quality of water and air was pure. Food was nutritious and less fancy. People talk to each other or in groups for entertainment. Thus maintaining clean atmosphere and healthy society. I would think that this trend was very much seen even till late 80s in India. In the last 20-30 years we lost all those goodies in exchange for development of economy and advancement of human society. Was it really worth? NO.
many people are fighting in comments saying it's Tamilnadu or Maharashtra or Kolkata or Orissa. End of the day it's India guys. Look at the channel it's British. They again did it divide and conquer
Dude calm down. People have a curiosity to know which part of India this is. It’s nice to know your ancestors, specially India is so diverse. Also the British conquerors all dead like most of the people in this video. So chill and watch the video..
It's Madurai! Near Meenakshi temple. street name is Ther Mutte veedi. it's a street for wholesale grocery shops and the temple's chariot stands in this St only.The people of Madurai has changed a lot, but not the street. it's still the very old . That's why it's called "The oldest unchanged city in the world"!!!
Hello, I am researching on films such as these. Will it be possible for you to share the Google location of this street? It will be a great help, thank you.
Some people are saying about "good old days"in this video. Think about the society back then, hunger, casteism, untouchability, communalism. We are living better life than this. Modern India 🇮🇳❤️🔥

There was not so much food because of droughts and famine and british exploitation with additional inequality.
If you think that they was enjoy than just adopt their lifestyle for a month. Eat half of your the meal only once a day and don't use any vehicle and travel barefoot.

Invasions and looters of western countries are the causes of poverty of preindependance but starting from scratch is a difficult proposition. We should have concentrated on agriculture and village industries for self sufficient in all respects.
Also the Islamic invaders.

This video colourized!: ua-cam.com/video/d2V1WZMN9fc/v-deo.html
For all those heartbroken that we didn't have any clothes to wear, men mostly were bare chested as most of them were farmers .
A glorious nation which was robbed blind and converted into the poorest by foreign invaders has now risen from the ashes and will again take its rightful place in a decade.
while it's true the British did a lot of evil things, but "India" didn't exist as a single country before. A loose collection of several diverse states and kingdoms were consolidated by the British, turned poor, and then partition was arbitrarily done, which led to further unprecedented violence, succeeding the previous massacres and droughts, famines and what not.
It is controversial, but a lot of the present problems in India are due to the fact that India is a country. It is simply too diverse to be a single country. I know not one nation which has similar cultural, ethnic and religious diversity and is developed. The US has a lot of ethnic diversity perhaps, but there is a lot of homogeneity in the societal fabric and overall infrastructure, unlike India. A state like West Bengal is absolutely different from something like Rajasthan or Uttaranchal. The ambition to make India great one day, on par with the western economies, is a commendable one, but it just might be too ambitious. I surely hope it happens, but I don't see the problems going away soon.

So beautiful and charming. Such practical clothing/costumes according to the weather. Lovely carts, lovely architecture.
The costumes and traditions suggest, this could be Tamil Nadu in Southern India.
there are 2 POVs to see this clip
1: having sympathy for them cause they lived in pathetic conditions as compared to ours and seeing this as history.
2: early man has become so developed that he has learned to build buildings and even a device called camera in which he can capture moments of his life...he has even become more civilised than ever learned living in a social system
Pretty sure they too would have sympathy for our condition.
Correction: we didn't become civilised we are becoming more animalistic
Correction: We were much rich before being looted by these britishers who are posting the video in name of fundraiser and by the mughals bastards these destroyed our economy and culture.
I’m convinced we’re the ones living in a pathetic condition tiday. Crammed into tiny apartments, so far from natural living

For people:
Since old times, people dressed like this only in India.
Painting found of a king on his throne too was wearing just a small piece of cloth, with little jwellery.
That is because India is both hot and humid, people liked to stay like that only.
And it is also not like that Indians ever lacked clothes anyway. It was literally largest exporter of textiles in whole world, it's textiles reached Japan in East to Portugal in West.
Now I see where the "Family Guy" gets their ideas about India ☺️. Fascinating.
Would love to see the same street filmed today to see how it's changed.
It almost looks the same, at least 75% the same
It has to be these streets even we Indians cant tell where is this place the person who recorded this footage 100 years back should have also kept a record of the name of the road where he took it Madurai is like a town temple historic city ,

It looks some where like a town market place and with small shops near towards the city temples to me,nothing much has changed apart from people having car's and Bikes and Auto rickshaws with problem with pollution and garbage problem in some places and some small improvement in infrastructure especially concrete roads in some places and footpath in some places with some Street lamp lights installed in some places and some new modern Buildings and shops that have come over the years with old temples found in some market places also their are people wearing cloths to cover them selves fully now and with new fashion and Western mixed fashion with traditional clothes also.

A century old picture of an Indian Village Road scene which is fascinating to watch.People seem to be devout about their religious marks on their bodies!
Unlike the godless, materialistic, self-loathing hedonists we have today.
It could be the city and not village considering the fact this was in 1906!
I visited Madurai in 1970. Meenakshi temple was incredible (almost got run over by an elephant in there) - but I mostly remember the HEAT!
Which heat 😮
It makes me sad to think that everyone we saw today are dead now 😔 Rip 🙏🏿
This is definitely in Tamil Nadu. Could be any town but due to number of vishnavites must be Trichy or chennai. The attire is tamilian.
ROFL
It’s Madurai
Scary fact :- All people in this video are died now . No one is alive . 😱😱😱Everyone bro everyone , just see them and feel it .😱

A rare documentary. Can anybody guess the city ? Considering the attire, probably it is then Madras (now named as Chennai, Tamilnadu).
RAHMATHULLAH RAHMATHULLAH nope probably it's Madurai .
Tamilnadu or Andhra .. as the Nama style on forehead resembles tirupati style..

very true
Now is a golden time? Yore an idiot if you think that. We’ve totally destroyed the environment and there’s nothing but concrete and pollution around. We are unhealthy in mind, body and spirit.
Imagine if we could hypothetically bring a person from that era to the modern world, he would be stunned and shocked to see today's world.
One thing is clear from this video. There was traffic congestion in India even 100 years ago.
this was before mahatma gandhi came to india, before non cooperation movement. before civil disobedience movement, before simon commission, before jallianwalla bagh dam ....wow!!!!

It is because of resilience and struggle of these people that even after the brutal, ugly, barbaric and violent British rule- we still have a country which has diversity, democracy and strength. As a country we have suffered so much from colonialism to invasions but still never had chaos of a civil war or a breakdown of the nation. God bless 🇮🇳 ❤

nice video. i remember back then we had peaceful life.. some british people used to make videos like these in our village. childhood days..
How old are u now?
Sir how old are you?
Life was very tough on those days...missing those people
My take...
Obviously, it's just a sample of India. Not all the people were of physical structure and colour as seen here. We all know that there were fat bellies, obese and little fair to very fair skins were also there in the period the video was shot. It was a hot day with Sun at the back of Camera. Only working class people were seen in such a hot day on the streets. Mainly wholesale buyers and their coolies come to the market street. People seemed to roam around to run an errand or seek petty jobs. Kids and women too are seen perhaps passing through for some household reasons.
Most People were making hand to mouth income by hardworking. But for epidemic or pandemic, diseases were unheard of. People had healthy diet, hardworking and good immunity. The quality of water and air was pure. Food was nutritious and less fancy. People talk to each other or in groups for entertainment. Thus maintaining clean atmosphere and healthy society.
I would think that this trend was very much seen even till late 80s in India. In the last 20-30 years we lost all those goodies in exchange for development of economy and advancement of human society.
Was it really worth?
NO.
Everyone is talking how all the people in the video are dead but no one's talking that the cameraman is also dead.
Notice the difference of life style between today and 100 years back..... And imagine how it will be after 50 years
hot boy it was not their lifestyle they were in that condition because of barbaric policies of Britishers.
It will be better if people in India stop multiplying like rabbits.
It is so ridiculous how India beauty standards push white skin look at all of that beautiful copper 😍🥺🥰❤
Back then not only indians but every people travel by walking not inside the car. And indians of each states have different skintones.
This is south india its still same skin colour
many people are fighting in comments saying it's Tamilnadu or Maharashtra or Kolkata or Orissa.
End of the day it's India guys. Look at the channel it's British. They again did it divide and conquer
