  • Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to India to film the epic work of the Paani Foundation’s Water Cup Competition and Farmer's Cup Competition. We tour the village of Pemgiri, in Maharashtra, who competed in the 2019 competition to install the most amount of water harvesting structures in a 45 day period, and competed had farmer's groups compete in the Farmers Cup Competition in 2023. Guided by Paani Foundation’s chief advisor, Dr. Avinash Pol, we visit the work and see the effects of a watershed-scale groundwater restoration project that has dramatically improved the lives, economy, ecology and stability of this village, and experience the feeling of deep stability that comes with a healthy and abundant landscape.

      The West has a very false notion of what India is based on self-justifying British Colonial propaganda which depicted India as a land of Eternal Poverty and Famine to cover up the Crimes Against Humanity of the British who looted (the word loot is Hindi) perhaps $45 Trillion from India (look up Jason Hickel India) and killed tens of millions of Indians in dozens of manmade famines (stealing India's foodgrains for British Profit and Food Security inc. the use of Death Camps for famine victims in 1877 under Disraeli) - see also Hickel and Sullivan's Dec 22 article on AJEnglish on how 100 million died in 40 years in the imperial zenith. George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier (1936) that a 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. India had been the richest country in the world for most of its history - Angus Maddison estimated that India was the world's largest economy for over 3/4 of the last 2,000 years before British plunder.
      You may also be interested in this response I gave to another commenter below about Ancient Indian Wisdom:
      We are not 5,000 years ahead but as I have shown in my scholarly works on synthesizing Science and Spirituality read by professors at places such as Oxford, Harvard and Princeton, as well as directors of Consciousness-Research institutes in the USA and in India, many ancient Indian ideas in Philosophy, Cosmology, Logic etc. were too advanced for the Western Mind of the 17th, 18th, 19th, and even 20th Century to appreciate and are only being appreciated today - such as the Indian notions of the the vast size and scale of the universe, with cyclic universes bubbling forth in a multiverse out of the Infinite Plenum/Void of Pure Formless Consciousness. The Greeks and Christians etc. held to a Geocentric universe which extended only to Neptune and existed for a few thousand years! It was Indian mathematical notions of Zero and Infinity derived from experience of the Plenum/Void that later influenced Cusanus and Bruno to suggest an infinite universe in the middle ages.
      As the 18th Century Germans and scholars such as Joseph Campbell, Thomas McEvilley etc. have acknowledged, contra Eurocentric myths of colonial Classics, true conceptual Philosophy originated in India with the Upanisads (Vedanta) centuries before Philosophy appeared in Miletia via the Ionian contacts with Indians in the Persian Empire. My work, identifying the physical correlate of the Inner Light of Pure Consciousness (Godhead) etc. with the brainwaves of the Reticular Activating System confirms what the likes of Erwin Schrodinger (who created Quantum Wave Mechanics influenced by his lifelong advocacy of Vedanta with its Akasa - Space as Subtle Matter characterized by vibration) argued that Quantum Wave Mechanics [particles are merely abstractions from wave activity] reflects the Oneness and Interconnectedness of Advaita (Nondual) Vedanta. Heisenberg said that he too was influenced by Indian Vedanta in his role in inventing QM and stated that it came as a great comfort to him (talking to Tagore etc.) to find that an entire Great Civilization - India - already held to a view resembling that of QM which had shocked the Western Mind.
      5th Century c.e. Indian Buddhist logician Dignaga anticipated and solved logical problems related to Truth Functions which were left unresolved by the likes of Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein in 20th Century Europe. Robert Oppenheimer wrote that Indian Buddhist logic was too sophisticated for 18th Century Europeans. Hindu Nyaya formal logic was not surpassed in Europe until Boolean algebra in the 19th Century.
      Again contra the Eurocentric, White Supremacist myths of Western History, most of what the Renaissance West called Modern Mathematics i.e. Modern Arithmetic [Cambridge mathematical physicist John Barrow calls the Indian Decimal Place Value Number System with Zero - the greatest intellectual invention ever made by humans); Modern Algebra (copied from Ancient Indian Bijaganita by Persian al-Khwarizmi into Arabic (as with Arithmetic) as Colebrooke showed as long ago as 1817), Trigonometry inc. Sine Function; Negative Numbers, Imaginary Numbers - and even Infinitesimal Calculus (the basis of Modern Physics) are of Indian origin - see Christian Yates' 5 Ways Ancient India Changed the World with Maths. Calculus actually originated with Bhaskara II and Madhava - 500 years and 200 years before Newton. Even if Newton did not know of the earlier Indian Calculus, as Charles Seife showed in his book Zero - the Science of Descartes (Cartesian Coordinates) and Newton's calculus would have been impossible without Indian Maths with the Zero and Infinity.
      Aryabhatta's work Aryabhatiya 499 c.e. - taught the West Trigonometry when translated into Latin centuries before Copernicus and contained Heliocentric models - which were used by other Indian astronomers long before Copernicus' so-called Revolution! As Colebrooke showed, the Greeks only inherited Babylonian algebra and made little advance. The first Greek to use algebra and symbolic equations was Diphantus in the 4th Century c.e. and his work was vastly inferior to Indian Algebra. Indians also invented algebraic analysis for Astronomy etc. For Greeks, Maths was mainly just Geometry. Renaissance Italians paid to watch mathematicians do tricks such as calculate 7 times 14 in their heads at town fairs using Indian Arithmetic as such calculations seemed magical given the primitive status of Greek and Roman numerals for doing calculations!
      Many of the best-connected researchers linked to the US government and intelligence agencies, who have been involved in the study of consciousness-related phenomena and UAP, such as electrical engineering Professor Willis Harman (ex-Head of Stanford Research Institute during Project Stargate - Psychic Spying as confirmed by Jimmy Carter), Dr Edgar Mitchell (physicist and 6th man on the moon - who had a cosmic consciousness experience on re-entry of Apollo 14) and Dr Jacques Vallee (astronomer, IT pioneer and J.Allen Hynek’s colleague on Project Bluebook) argue that UAP need to be understood within the broader context of a new science based on the Primacy of Consciousness. Harman, who called for a Synthesis of Science and Mysticism also wrote that the new Post-Materialist Science of the Future will be based on Indian Metaphysics with its Primacy of Consciousness and Transcendentalism. After receiving a copy of my 1999 work, Japanese physicist Shiuji Inomata wrote a letter to thank me. He mentioned that ten million Japanese TV viewers heard him repeating Harman’s conclusions in his inaugural speech to the 1998 Tokyo conference of Eastern Philosophy and Science.

      Green revolution was a necessity for "that" time, food production was not very high, india had to import low quality food from foreign, plus farming practices were previously affected due to Britishers during colonial period.
      Strategically also, India was going through a lot of tensions with China and Pakistan, and West being a close aid to Pakistan, could have used their sanctions to starve the Indian population, so Green revolution was necessary, and chemical fertilizers and Pesticides was not the only output of green revolution, tractors, combiners, water pumps, techniques of farming, etc innovations also helped.
      Though obviously, now we need to change the techniques and need to ahift back to organic farming, coz nation is now more stable.

I haveto todo rejoice to see how broad scale localized permaculture designs ( many who' s roots no doubt came from India) is abundantly blessing so many people. This is no doubt the models that can bless all the Earth if we will each do what we can! Thank you !

      @andrewmillison if you are ever on Hawaii Island, I'd be glad to show you some revitalizing permaculture installations that integrate native, Hawaiian, food/medicine, and useful plants with biofertilizers/biochar to rapidly revitalize the soil up to three feet deep while naturally eliminating weeds from the equation.
      I think you can appreciate the work we are doing here including collaborating with Hawaiian owned forest farms.

    I think a tree should be planted on every Indian ceremony. Every year on birthday, marriage, marriage anniversary, child birth, child naming ceremony, first day of child initiated by their Guru, the graduation ceremony, and many more, in fact we have too many festivals and each festival can be a wonderful opportunity to plant a tree.
    Janmashtami, birthday of Lord Krishna is soon coming and then Dussehra, Diwali. Each festival should be a step to connect with divine by revering mother nature.
    Sri Ramakrishna said it is no use criticizing Maya as illusion and evil. Rather be humble and take a different approach. Bow in reverence in front of Maaya as divine mother and she will step aside by itself to help us be one with reality.
    So serving nature as mother is a beautiful reminder of how we should truly celebrate our festivals in India. God bless Paani Foundation and all the scientists, farmers in it and Aamir Khan and you for doing such great work. 🙏🏻

    At the end of the video Andrew sells his PDC (Permaculture Design Class). I live in Oregon and went to OSU in the early 1980s. He wasn't a professor there yet but OSU was ahead of 99% of the world's universities in actually deeply studying the effects of slowing down the water again and letting it soak into the riparian zones. They studied against the "best practices" of the times which included getting all of the water off the land and strait out to the ocean as fast as possible. Dr. Millison is known as a master teacher with one of the best grasps of all of the rediscovered realities of permaculture, restorative farming, silvoculture... watershed restoration. He is known as a "cyclone of assimilation" and packages it all for us in connected and coherent ways so you can walk away with an understanding instead of shaking your head just stuffed with too many facts. It costs money because it is through the university but worth ten-fold the cost.

      Trust me there’s no human rights violation happening in India. Whatever they show you in news is because India is going through a huge geopolitical shift right now and Chinese funded media peddles out propaganda against India and human rights thing.
      The government of India actually provides the poor people free food and shelter too.
      Our poverty is going away at a steady rate now and the destruction of the colonial rule is being left behind slowly and India is just reclaiming its original position from thousands of years ago when it was the most prosperous land in the world.
