I Time Travelled To This 18th Century Village in Bihar | Bharat Ek Khoj Ep18 | Unfiltered by Samdish

In an endeavour to explore the secluded landscapes of our country, I travelled to the Southern ends of Bihar where I interacted with the Mahadalit community of Durgapur in district Bodh Gaya. From extreme poverty & illiteracy to a concerning amount of malnourishment, this village lacks basic human integrity, let alone being a 'developed society'. While highlighting the caste discrimination in the area, the villagers talked about how no government has ever paid attention to their living conditions and they have always been left behind when it comes to providing them with basic facilities like schools & hospitals.

A day in this village felt like a time travel to the medieval era where everything depended on the caste ladder. People here do not receive electricity but are paying heavy bills, managing three meals a day is a daily struggle & when getting work is hard, begging is their only option.

Watch & Experience as we shift the focus from the touristy side to the harsh realities of Bodh Gaya.

"Sarkar badalta jata hai, humara gaon aisa hi rehta hai"

Hits hard man

[adityakadam]

5:38 "Aadhaar card par Deshpremi naam hai, aage peeche kuch nahi"

Incredible how these words were spoken so casually, yet are so powerful ❤

[SurajsEverything]

Deshprem 😥 The Pain in his voice is so noticable 😢

[mukul]

Look at the pain in Deshpremi Voice, this is heartbroken 💔

[Rajkumar-dzov]

This little boy who was speaking about Kalam and the constitution has more knowledge than many Delhiites... We talk about Bullet train, Vishwaguru... This is the reality of our country..

[PramodKumarTakri]

Everyone is appreciating samdish, but no one is calling out CASTEISM

[Shefalitejpal]

This video is a big slap on people who dismisses the existence of caste based discrimination.

[Preeti-vh]

विकास की तरफ़ बढ़ते हुए भारत के इस बड़े हिस्से की स्थिति देखकर मन विचलित हो उठता है। एक तरफ़ तो भारत देश की वाहवाही तो दूसरे तरफ़ इन भाई-बहनों की त्राहि त्राहि। UNFILTERED की टीम को बहुत शुक्रिया 🙏 हमें वास्तविकता की एक झलक दिखाने के लिए। उम्मीद है कि देशप्रेमी, चंदन कुमार, आशिक़ और यहां के सभी बच्चों का भविष्य उज्ज्वल होगा और ये सारे परिवार एक बेहतर जीवन जी सकेंगे।

[a.reverythingsolution]

कितना बड़ा दुर्भाग्य है मेरे देश का, लड़के का नाम देशप्रेमी और भूखा सो रहा है, रुला दिया यार 😢😢

[bunjaykididi]

The woman in dark blue saree is a fighter. Her words "anpad he lekin muje pata he" were strong words. Had there were resources she would have excelled in any field. It was a heart wrenching episode!

[sanchi]

Thank you for making this video. As a student in junior high, I don't usually comment, but this really moved me. It's so important to highlight these stories, especially about casteism and the people fighting for change. I was especially moved by Chandan, who, despite not having many resources to study, was so aware of his surroundings. His determination is inspiring; though it's a small amount, I’m contributing to support this work. Every bit counts towards creating awareness. Keep going!❤

"Not only financially, but emotionally draining". Thank you for the work Samdish. May God bless you.

[ambuj.k]

Coming from a lower caste, I never held a caste certificate and never redeemed any reservations. I was privileged enough to be brought up by a hard working mother and afford private education.

Now that I'm in a better place than where I and my family came from, I still cannot forget that I am a chamar.

This video made laugh and cry at the same time. I thank you Samdish for letting people know where me and my family came from.

I would happily donate some amount of my privileged income for your good and honest work. You are a real hero!

[akaayushkumar]

Thank you for showing this. Growing up, I have seen my grand parents shoo away the underpriviledged from their hand pump. Ashamed of that. I am fortunate enough to understand this better and be a better person.

[DuttaShibani]

Litterly the boy 'Deshpremi' when listen his feelings of living life... I just cried this is called India... Caste system divide everything.. but we forget we are human all.. salute samdish

[goviljoson]

The boy who talked about Dr.Bhim Rao and APJ Abdul Kalam has so much knowledge despite very limited

[kavitakodre]

10:15 the way Little boy resting his head on samdhish shoulder..is like he is believing and hoping to change the situation for his better future..and it's very emotional...

[RahulKumar-thnq]

One of the best parts of the video is that
Everyone has a dream to educate their child no matter how poor they are ❤️.

[switojsuman]

No doubt it’s mentally and emotionally draining talking to these people. Just makes us realize how privileged we are
