takes from the research, find the field from and to finish it point of view, he hadn't done incredible job. the amount of stops we just fun and the number of unicorns which are gone on know if in days is different into the marketing. see if i realizes that it could be years before his start up turn to profit evaluated here in food. i would this is the i started eating some odd one down on the for this the regular tragic 3 wouldn't be getting into some corporate and job. but i followed a different part of me that is such a being an entrepreneur that's and issues and i, i want to achieve things as steve and his business partner and body, many of the young ambitious generation of founders and entrepreneurs in india

we've been doing. and just we are to be and we'll get this is if i'm not getting something i don't visit with the i can make it happen. that's it. the media, a gland page, or human resources available in india who have kept ability to work into fundamental research that is, needs to be different. i don't see any country have the positioning from the fundamental research point of view of the weakness would be we need to think that out. we need to think that fundamental disorders, what is happening in india uh, cause or borders and make people aware that this is happening in india causes and

brought them into the backend rural behind. in the most of a poor region. the kind of meeting i'm my name is so now i'm debbie admitted by 3 children, 2 boys. one girl has my husband does. it requires that they work in the fields or at home to be ready to go there soon. um is 27 and can't read or write like a quarter of the indian population. and of the women here in the her only half can read in right. she lives a traditional life here,

like her mother and grandmother before her. like many others, she's found the doors of upward mobility close to her combination fast. but the bolts company that there's not enough work here for us to fly out and eat, but they have that's why we can't give our children an education or what's your faith? i'm going to try to get cut off because i'm not educated. i don't have a decent job. it's been a copy of the kids have been sometimes and we sit down to eat. i don't know, i'm going to manage it all i see now is that the poverty, unlimited opportunities are a huge problem in the heart of the indian states. it's the 3rd largest in terms of population and the most densely populated the average daily income here is less than one euro 70, very little, even by indian standards. the,

there are many brick works around most of our poor. there are more than 6000 of these brick kilns and bizarre thousands of families live and work here and extremely harsh conditions. bonded labor and child labor are still the order of the day. but har is regarded as india is least develop state. many try to leave and find work elsewhere in the country. like most here. sometimes family lives from what they can grow and raised themselves subsides. luckily i have 7 goats and one cow. the goats gave birth, not long ago. outside is that the same? the finance guy, the guy that i use the cow done to make because of the car part of the top, the house electric. and then i use the briquettes for cooking although the

cast system has officially been abolished. it's still a major feature of everyday life here. so now belongs to the lowest cost, formerly referred to as the untouchables. that said, that lived didn't belong to a dallas community. the moment bonzai is the set of people from lower task. let's work in the fields of the upper cast last year till their land was the pillow and have not got the ever cast dog still discriminate against us and look down and us out of the hedge. i hate how lovely to be the god. so now i would love to be able to give her children a different life. there are admission quotas for dallas at schools and universities, but those are a long way away in the big cities too far for many children. sometimes husband, blue cash is often away for months. he earns a bit of money working as a bricklayer on building sites in urban areas. at the moment he's expanding the

family home to accommodate his brother who's about to get married and move in daily life in the villages here has barely changed in recent decades. sometimes mother and grand mother cooked in clay of it like this one. the one of the names because i'm 27 years old and i live in the greater noise area. yes . financially were strong. and i think the goal is to be born into

a good family problem. but the have to go and say, i am a vicious country though, but it depends on what it is or the back of the 10 thought. but i did my 10th and 12th grade exams, the greater and the way to school about the excel. and then i prepare for medical studies for a year, and in 2018 i went to study medicine in china. so much i am as in love with him. because his family made most of its money by selling land incidentally, area. wealth is distributed extremely on equally in india to most affluent, 10 percent possessed 80 percent of the wealth because lives with his extended

family in a 10 room house built by his father, the combined company we. we live together in a large family group by me. my parents, my brothers and their wives, their children. here, we work together all the time in the mornings, evenings like the semester sounds. okay. how about a my oldest brother runs a school the way i was quitting cold. and then i've got to have one of my brothers has passed away, but okay, and the, just as in most wealthy families here, education is a top priority. one of the cars is nice is studying law. and another has plans to apply to the civil service. ask for because he wants to follow in the footsteps of his deceased brother. it set his sights on

a career in politics would be the without. however, you can't do anything this adult that has a doctors, you can open a hospital and that's about to see me for the place at the beginning in politics that are new limit, machine learning that and to to that's why i want to try and pull up the 1st one with though i want to work for the people come and go to the a just a few kilometers away. also in noise to new delhi, the proven in my name is so many i'm 25 years old or maybe

a little less based on what the, what these are. i work in the ground to mix project holidays and do cleanings sweeping and washing utensils throughout the soap and he lives with her to young daughter is in a slum just across the road from her place of work. she's one of an estimated 40 to 100000000 migrant workers in india, police their whole states hoping to find a better life in the city. india needs to create millions of jobs. one in every 6 young people is out of work. the highest unemployment rate in 45 years the my husband only use of our jobs. but not long ago he started driving

a water tank or that helps us because now we can get our water delivered here. i don't have to go such anymore a button and then they got them a this laura teas have already torn down her heart 3 times. because like all the others here, it was put up illegally. the family moved here to earn money to repay a loan of around 440 years. god, the when we got married, we had to take out a loan. and so far we haven't been able to repay a fine. we've been paying small amounts for about 4 years, but there are other things we have to pay for to fit that on that on a b, it's not that much. it's around $40000.00 rupees, okay. but because of the interest loan amount keeps going out, it's out of funds, even though we're re paying it, the amount we owe goes up. we can't pay more than that. we don't earn that much. now let me bought the sofa and the story is a familiar one. many take out loans, for example,

for weddings seats or doctors bills. almost 55 percent of the rural populace are in debt. often they're exploited by local lenders because they can't read or write. moving to a city can seem like the only way to earn money. there's no power or running water here and no toilets or sewage systems every day from 9 to 11 in the morning and 4 to 6 in the afternoon. so if any goes over to the residential complex to clean, she gets paid $4000.00 rupees per month. the equivalent of just under $45.00 zero's . when she's at work neighbors, watch out for her children or the rep in the i got the

back to see them. the successful pharma started up founder and hide her about the this is my favorite picture. so come on and me my wife because i lost my 5 that in the age of 3. he's my dad. so he took care of me and my entire educational work, not every day. every part of me is taken care to buy him. land has the family has everything for me. with those how many nothing, nothing. i'm fine with nothing. visit the secret lives with his mother.

like almost 80 percent of all young people in india, cities. his cousin and his cousins wife also live here. in the evening. he enjoys talking to other relatives who live further away the fin sometime. and i have what do you need me to infringe? what the, what do i spend the time? i like to spend my time with my family to continue things. 24 hours is not sufficient to spend with my family and all of us for them to see enjoying the new new baby more. he's 11 to plus and so all of us we have the same

in keeping with tradition and his wife is spending the 1st few months after the birth with her parents. that's why during the week he can only see his 5 month old son on his smartphone screen. of course this marriage was arranged like more than 90 percent of all marriages in india. the sonata engine, matt, it's been the monthly shared or parts and what, what family is meant to us. and then it happens like if it means i believe, the youngest on each end and the address back thing to that one. what i don't see a was she understands what i am doing and she, she of us. but that is about being an entrepreneur, not or being a scientist is, is not in a convention. i'm the,

i don't like to be in the own in your thoughts is okay. and as a bundled family i and i want to be with the family on demand. what happened? what made you smart to you, your family or you know the products are but that my family knows a little bit as a name, but i think they know a little bit. but they don't say anything about that in front of me. they have a feeling and i think they ignore it even though they know is it? they can then while that may then um then hey i'm doing this is i have both. okay. and then k

zane knows what it means to break with family tradition in india. he meets us in secret, at the home of a friend who's also cut off from her family by law. several of the, all my brothers are married and live together with our families. ma'am, i mean is, don't i live with my mother? so, but my father died 12 years ago, but to, in years, i live up under that. so yeah. for some societal pressure, unclear people is often too much to bear a little boy, the people say marry him off and then he'll be normal like that a stranger is come to my house, talk to my mother and try to influence her. that amalgam on the course of the day, although homosexuality is no longer a crime in india, it's still the case that gave people are often ostracized. and there are no laws banning discrimination problem you. the problem is that this society doesn't accept

it. is that government to preserve the family reputation? they don't want these things talked about is an accepted, is a me able of name to take this. i've gotten like a not zane can only meet his partner in secret a long way from his neighborhood. he's always afraid he'll be recognized. he'd prefer not to have to hide like this. imagine good thing, k. i imagine that if i was a trance woman, i could have a house or a family home in mary my boyfriend's phone, give me the her as a, when they go to the family, all the boyfriends have mattered or get their hospitals that carry out gender reassignment and a 3rd gender is officially recognized here. but in everyday life, trans people are marginalized, ridiculed, and even attacked on each other. uh,

sometimes i think i should leave on the, i don't think i need to make an outside india. i wouldn't have these problem. i'm saying you can lead a free life there as, as they get these. i think i should go somewhere else that in life would be better, a tele, using the you. i may have thought a living. the man in the most populous state of which our connect dash one and a half hours north of delhi. my name is my name is mohammed. i'm on. i will be sleeping, doing this work for almost 20 years now. this used to be a small street fluid store and it's always sort of, i'm not since i've been working here. it's a proper restaurant place in. but right now, i do want to profess turned pedestrian with his patient. now with our specialty, he was the leading via the on the it's made with me and it's a very famous was up to say was how much family makes to be

a jani. just the way his grandmother used to rice, spices and meat simmered for several hours. the recipe for this yellow de leon sauce is a well kept secret. he sells more than 160 portions of the jani every day, as well as can bobs and other north indian specialties. he now has a staff of 18. the restaurant is open from noon to 10 pm every day. and we want a single left turn that comes out and we have one restaurant, but we'd like to expand and have a few branches into this. i'm anybody you know, fast food style with cell service included, automatic painting. put the tv in for the nice thing is that we're also planning to renovate the restaurant in the nation fee for the next generation fee for my children, who are you for muslims, like mohammed's here in america, the situation is tense, like large parts of the country merit is governed by moody's can do nationalist

party, the b j. p. violence regularly flowers out between hindus and woodlands in merit. most recently in 2023, and there are often fatalities the new rendered. moody has been accused of promoting policies that stoke division between hindus and muslims. for most one communities, the situation is a burden. mohammed tells us he closes his restaurant on major hand, do holidays as a precautionary measure. he's afraid that agitated crowds might vandalized or set fire to his restaurant the

it's important to him to maintain good relations with the local police, the bottom little once a month when they come. we host them with lots of respect because they each year and we give them special discount. we have any homes and you said it's not like they say they're from the police and don't want to pay. you know, it's out of respect that we give the police and government workers a special discount. i mean, look at all this long. but if i go to the local, active as to how me to re lease that the many different religions in india can live in peace as a social worker. he tries to raise awareness about the problems faced by muslims and provide support to the families of victims. of violence during most of the muslims are afraid and they can't trust the discovery and feel like 2nd class citizens decision. the situation for most of them says deteriorating since this government took power to help and not just their economic situation. i'd say

there's a climate of fear now i'm on with the lens and other minorities. nothing's going on . and the majority population also has a sense of fear in their day to day lie of the why one or the i know most of us can this. it's not an easy situation for the nearly 200000000 muslims in india. there's a country's largest religious minority. and the indian constitution is explicitly secular and hasn't tried equal rights for all religious groups here. the in the near daily, after going to the fitness studio and having breakfast because is praying at his home trying. although he's a member of the hindu majorities at moody intends to mobilize in his favor. because

is not a fan of bodies politics. line religious i was born in do, but i don't celebrate my face in public after waking up in the morning, everyone in the family offers up their prayers. children, my sister in law thinking that doesn't mean we should put on a public demonstration of our fe, new accomplishments almost every day because and his team drive around visiting villages in the region. the contacts he makes in these places could be important for his political career. the government doesn't do anything for us. so what used to cost $300.00 rupees, now costs a $1000.00 things over paid. no one's thinking about the farmers on their income.

how's it going out of date? so didn't get this. government isn't taken care of the issues that concern us here to but in, in, for me i don't and then right, know, gone during the election is going and we're campaign. i mean, we're constantly out on the ruins of a company. we've gone down there and can do is we want a new government that takes care of bodies. the young people almost gonna come in here in the villages of northern india. it's the men who have this say, they make decisions together. for example, concerning the distribution of water, or who's allowed to marry whom. the village elders wield great authority because tries to gauge the mood in the village. the men are unhappy with their current political representation by modi's

b. j. p. in 2027, because wants to stand as a local candidate for the sum swati party moody's competition. and for that he needs their votes. even though i mean not how many people are funded weren't in a jo, are going to be given a who's supporting you there are other issues. the g. p. candidates promise, new roads in the last election campaigns have. they've been built because hopes to capitalize on the general sense of dissatisfaction the, there were the voters were the youth. exactly.

the idea is to be here. we can become number one in the world of young people weren't card for it. we can do that any boss or anything is possible. grandpa, so what it is, housing is here because promises to come back soon. he has big plans for himself, but also for his country today in soonest village near most of a poor, the women have gathered their learning to read and write as part of the government initiative to reduce the countries high literacy rate h means chicken was in my lack of the this is important for us women, 15 gauntlet life in the village as hard, housework the work in the fields. i'm here because i have no education get caught

up on. if i learn something, maybe i could have been a teacher or civil servants, a job in the city. i could have lived somewhere else and everything's just so hard here helping because out of line because of all this stuff. and i have many hopes and dreams corners to calm go to say i'd love to have decent work on the 1st and then both me and my husband would like to improve ourselves. but because we're poor, we're stuck out of money and i'd like our children to be educated so they can have a good career. we couldn't get an education ourselves, but we want our children to be able to the summer and some other run to small kiosk where simon helps out. it's the main source of income for the entire family. it's enough for life, you're in the village. but simon, once more. right,

and i don't want the same life as my mother. i don't want to get married a young age. my mother supposed to be in that support. the people in the village tell my family that i should be married. don't think, but my mother says i was married at 12 and the only stuff is a lot about why should my daughter also stuff and that way. can anybody be lazy after marrying? the woman still usually moves in with her husband's family to look after the home and the children. women's participation in india is labor force has risen by over 10 percent in recent years. but still, around 2 thirds of all women are not in paid work. for somebody that's out of the question, would it be so i want to be a teacher. i believe that the women in the villages shouldn't have such a life of suffering. and i didn't want to stand on my own 2 feet. i don't want to bound down to anyone, that's the one that i want to on my own money and decide what i spend to don't want

the man. i don't want to have to ask any one for money when it gets this amount, you know, nobody of the summer and is hoping to get a scholarship to attend university. her work as a journalist is a 1st step. come out and read. it was no, it's important electricity. delete that in moving here. ok. so it gives you 30 gardner in the city the but our lease is of the money. the opposite. the india can become a developed country, maybe under a lot of things will improve for goes for women to have it the low gabby before man i'm going on. yeah. like, yeah, like it's everyone works together. this can become a developed country mean gap new this school will. this was a big, it was august. then in the evening, simmons father comes home. he's

a rickshaw driver and is a huge supporter of his daughter and her dreams for the future. as how much who's got the i think the report is really easy, but she's addressing the problems that face poor people and asking questions to see if a media helps others understand the worries of poor people. they'll try to find out more about the issues that i wasn't able to achieve this but my daughter has and that makes me very happy the in the evening. so been a returns to the slum from her cleaning job. now she has to cook before it gets too

dark. there are no lights or electricity here. ready the outlines of wrong, i pray and ask god to keep me well, to provide us money and a good house that we can live a comfortable life. i want my children to live a good life, that wherever they end up, they have a good, secure, and easy life. but they can make something of themselves in the future that they find good work. i'm going to add to the a few blocks away. in the evenings the upper classes flocked to one of the many

models here. prizes here are similar to those in europe. like because his family, anyone earning more than 37000 zeros a year, belongs to the upper class. a group that's tripled to 90000000 over the last decade . the lights that you see here, that you're filming with your camera. if you looked at it from the point of view of a person who lives in poverty, it just looks like a waste of money. like money for an adult and they have a bunch of disability, rich people, middle class, people who come here for enjoyment, not india is the fastest growing consumer market in the world. best hands on, hey, i thought having money is great. of course,

that you're born into a rich family and lead a happy life as best i had come to me that can change overnight. in terms of us to, to day you might have money tomorrow you could be poor. i mean, i'm going to go above all, i see myself as a human being just an up in san. anyone can become written john or anything as possible, but 1st you have to be human one. but if you do a diamond and someone who's born with a silver spoon in their most, i don't, they don't care about the poor. yeah. do. and they're not a good person in my day and i want to know which and also 2nd they do. so please, i've given everyone has a dream and every time mine is it one day all become prime minister, even though the near most of the poor people also come together in the evening to the middle of the

local fair. the soon i'm is here with her husband and the children the he does. oh, that's all. yeah, it's a wonderful to be here. when you come here, you can leave your problems at home, set them aside and be happy, and babb was disappear. you know, that would be a big news . all i want is to live in happiness and peace. that's also what i want for my children. we've been thinking about making a change and it's not possible right now, but we'll keep on trying. the young generation in india,

they are living in a society that's still defined by contrasts and inequality. but they are on holding onto big dreams. if not for themselves, then at least for their children, the the oldest left is the grave. and then slide buried, manuel saw that it was a path to his wife, and soon he caused it to st. but the catastrophe was caused by blood for a new highway a chinese construction projects in columbia. with no regard for the last to 30 minutes on the w, there's more to sustain of assessing. been just busy with ally. go out to see
