2:26 pm
there are many brick works around most of our poor. there are more than 6000 of these brick kilns in the heart. the thousands of families live and work here in extremely harsh conditions. bonded labor and child labor are still the order of the day. but har is regarded as india's least develop state. many tried 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 of the nathaniel for this guy, the guy that i use the cow done to make because of the car part of the top, the house. so a tape and then i use the protests for cooking although the cast system has officially been abolished. it's still

what these are. i work in the ground to mix project holidays and do cleanings sweeping and washing utensils like the so many 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
2:33 pm
don't have to go such as anymore and then they got them. or the store to use 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 it. but we've been paying small amounts for about 4 years, but there are other things we have to pay for to fit at the ad on that on a b, it's not that much. it's around $40000.00 rupees. okay. but because of the interest, the loan amount keeps going out, it's out of funds, even though we're repaying it. the amount we owe goes up. we can't pay more than you are not much. now let me bought that they find so many 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
2:34 pm
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 when he 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 are dropping the i got the
2:35 pm

2:36 pm
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 would 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
2:37 pm
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 i am missing. the 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. i mean 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 above me. an answer for not being a scientist is, is not in a convention. i'm the,
2:38 pm
i don't like to be in the own in your thoughts is okay. and as a part of the family i, if i want to be with the family on demand, what happens? what means more to you, your family or you know, the products are but that my family knows a little bit as any, but i think they know a little bit, but they don't say anything about that in front of the 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. and then k zane knows what it means to break with family tradition in india. he meets us in
2:39 pm
secret, at the home of a friend who's also cut off from her family. by lots of little, paul, 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 2 areas 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 american 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
2:40 pm
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 made 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 trans woman, i could have a house or a family though, and marry my boyfriend's phone committee. her as a, when they go to the family. oh, the boyfriends a matter to 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
2:41 pm
saying you can lead a free life there as, as they can do. so i think i should go somewhere else that that in life would be better, a tele, using the you. i may have thought of the man in the most populous state, of which our connect dash one and a half hours north of dallas. my name is my name is mohammed i'm on and when we so we've been 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. i'm like, 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 video and it's made with me and, and it's a very famous was up to say, what's well, how much family makes to be a jani?
2:42 pm
just the way his grandmother used to rice spices and meet 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 in 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 hearing marriage, 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
2:43 pm
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,
2:44 pm
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. yeah. we have, it's out of respect that we give the police and government workers a special discount already looked at all the wrong. but if i did a local activist mohammed a 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. they can't trust the discovery and feel like 2nd class citizens decision. the situation for most one that says deteriorated 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 woodlands and other minorities,
2:45 pm
nothing's going on. and the majority population also has a sense of fear in their day to day lives. oh, i wonder if the onion was new skin that's 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
2:46 pm
is not a fan of bodies politics. line religious i was born in do. 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 is that doesn't mean we should put on a public demonstration of our fe, new account 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 rupees, no cost a 1000 things or no one's thinking about the farmers on their income. how's it
2:47 pm
going out? because i don't know if i'd be sold in good this government isn't taking 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 on the roof and over with the 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 buy something 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 motives b. j. p. in 2027,
2:48 pm
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 how many people are funded weren't given a job, i'm 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. so i do see that we can become number one in the world of young people weren't card for it. we can do that, any boss of anything is possible. grandpa,
2:49 pm
so it is how things can this because promise has 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 and my lack of the this is important for us women. 15 gauntlet life and the village is hard. the housework, the work in the fields. i'm here because i have no education get total funding. if i learn something, maybe i could have been a teacher or civil servant,
