a decade we fought and we stopped the luck but in the dam building started and in 2013 there was a disaster much bigger this one has lost a few lives and 200 people are missing the 2013 disaster and get that out was. nearly 610-0000 missing and we did a very g.t.s. study there were tunnels where dynamite it was being blasted all of them had related projects and all the muck from these tunnels was being dumped into the river so at that point we realized there are 3 things much. climate disaster because the glaciers are melting lakes are forming a mad development just asked of thinking these fragile mountains can take all the wilds of a war and the current disaster. a deregulation disaster which assumes that contractors can make whatever money they want to and there's no liability
6:31 am
there is no responsibility well deregulation which i got to reemphasize is definitely not mentioned linked to this tragedy in the himalayas has been connected i think by everyone to the largest what some say are the largest workers' strikes in human history it just recap what on earth has been going on over the past 16 months because there's been very little hole coverage in nato nations if you look at only the last 6 months you want to understand what's going on because this started in 1901 when the world bank with conditionalities having got us into debt for the green revolution the chemical agriculture the fertilizers the dams and the 90000000000 debt we had and then they put structural adjustment and there were elements of structural adjustment they said you have to remove will stop holding the past limits you have to remove all price regulation you have to get rid of the
6:32 am
regulated markets which are run by corporate chips of treadles and farmers and governed by the regional governments not by the centralized government this in just such a large country every region has a different type because crop differences to be you should system and you cannot have one uniform button but now not only do we have one unit going back to india mr gates my favorite person these days says he wants one it's one for the whole work so the world bank ringback this package together and this means resistance against this but at the same time the w 2 rules will eat in nigeria and we knew what the globalized as the corporations wanted they wanted to patent scene they wanted pretreated commodities and they wanted soon. of sanitary measures to shut down local food economies and promote junk food the result of all this has been 30 years of huge political agitation and
6:33 am
movement and the fathers of many of the people on the streets today what must with me 500000 farmers in bangalore 200000 in the red thought we were seeing food is too precious to be left to trade driven by profit it's not a commodity it is a lie you have for the farmers and a necessity for the rest so you have 50 years of who owns a grotesque it's just that during the school with as has happened in every country those have been put in place which in democratic debate would not have come through and the furnace where young activists then so people $91.00 and today it's a continuum and part of those who would like us to forget history and raise it and rewrite it will probably get a machine really think people who've lived that being can forget it we truly east india company out in 857 it was
6:34 am
a peasant revolt and britain but they still haven't found a heretic either. in london the british name to the support of mutually just like they're trying to now renamed these lot more wins as link to religion or terrorism and and the spin is working overtime but these are peasants and as they say again. we are fighting for the saw oil and the soul of india if the small farmers are no more india is not a civilization that is india they nourish the soul of this country and we have states more farmers in spite of the global powers wanting to grab the land and turn us into a large fund desert like the midwest of the united states is because of. this now for the sun this year not for india and this price in feeding this country did it right if eating 1300000000 i can tell you the us mother cannot feed 1300000000 the indian palmers have done it and i take pride in this. well
6:35 am
as you say the movement certainly has grown in the quarter of a 1000000000 people now on the streets but the world bank would no doubt say ok there were mistakes made back then with there are. in ideological policies they reform to an extent another thrown around or modi india's leader he claims that is exactly what the farmers are protesting about they should be celebrating because it gives them more autonomy and reduces that taxes well in the infamous don't pay taxes we've kept agriculture because because agriculture so basic everything is not taxed in india so there's no issue of taxation as well as far as incomes and so incomes is a result of how much does it cost to produce and what do you earn well mend skeet shooting up and a globalized system of monopolistic bind continues to drive prices down have
6:36 am
a book here my 36 years of research this will rise ational prices in the world bank admits this but as corporations take poor instead of a very intimate price feeling that you know the ferma produces and gets in a consumer pays you get a poor rise issue where the price is the consumer be shooting up because of deregulation and the incomes farm is collapsing my research has shown that in globalized supply chains the 1st farm the farmer the original producer the primary producer gets as little as point $5.00 to $0.05 that's it take any commodity analyze it analyze the pineapples of bananas the coffees analyze it. traditionally in india it was a 6 percent difference and the deputy who rules how much it will be $91.00. well by groups $97.00 the quantitative descriptions and the small resident that
6:37 am
growing and if it carries on this way 99 percent goes to the treating giant tree and of course by now in these 30 years of globalization every car has an indian park every month central has an indian park every pepsi has lots and lots of indian franchises so this idea that if global corporations who are outside. and there's a domestic economy doesn't work in a global accessed the prate machinable foundries these corporations they greet national sovereignty they great food so really unwillingly and promise of planting is food so pretty and that has been the struggle in india and i'm so glad you became a builder struggle foods already get food out of. bricks it has been basically meat food guiltily subject to free trade rules of bad who boarded chlorinated
6:38 am
chicken g.m.o. those eat at it it will to follow some people would say bricks it was a response to the european union's contamination by that kind of ideological operators that you're just you've just been talking about am and all those companies would say they are benefitting the people in india as they act as well of course in developing countries all around the world i don't know perhaps they say part of the ideology is precisely meritocracy precisely the idea of these free markets and those that do not succeed those small holders in the face of competition they go to the wall and can be given charity or some kind of crumbs from the table or some might call it competition how can one not least be competition how can 4 times controlling chemicals and c inputs and taking patents on what they store from us because british how can forward china green treatise
6:39 am
collecting all the subsidies of the work. it's a duck a $1000000000.00 a day they call it from all the governments of the work and they call it the subsidies and the promise on have support and that is competition and pepsi coming in and making all our indigenous foods a street food just now x. our women's production skills illegal to see you know safety laws that's competition. if it was a true level playing field the small farmer will win hands down that's my life's work now since 1984 small farmers are more productive the f a o has shown it to percent of the food we eat comes from small farms small farms produce more our research in the movement has started now than ian has shown that small farms but by the u.s. city without chemicals can feed 2 times india's population if we farm in the right
6:40 am
which basically what we are living through is food imperialism and an aspect of it is food reasons i'm where this is the minute some black or white all the black everything should be white by jingo white flour white rice white sort of people who are into black pepper and the big corporations who deny any malpractise all and you know how little car you know the private private health of. your argument might have on you know is what led to the creation of the east india company it was the spices opinion and the west was paying one bag of gold for a bag of better from india that's why india was so rich we had 25 percent of the world economy because of our spices and i've textiles the british took 45 trillion out of india to extortion through extraction from the peasants driving to famine the last being the great bengal famine which gets 2000000 people and
6:41 am
the british made money during that time that led to a movement of women saying people don't give you too how what we call. east leave 2 kids with us and then move to the. movement to end of penance and lead to the essential commodities act which is one of the roles being dismantled so our history and the british history so we but sadly we have experience and the fight for truth i think you'll find britain's prime minister has written a book on churchill linked to the bengal famine incredibly proud of british colonialism took him on though she wrote stop you there more from the world renowned environmentalist after this short break. we'll get the 3 headed vigilante coming our way we've got the bond vigilantes are
6:42 am
coming back they're stranded drug dealers shorting bonds now it means that he is going to try to force bond collapse like we saw on 993 so he the bond vigilantes back big he's talking about gold then so are others just a golden jewel auntie's and the big point vigilantes i've been here since 22009. they're growing exponentially now in the price of course as it goes under a trillion in this year 2021 it'll be worth more than 4 trillion so those are the 3 headed vigilantes that are now coming for the dollar the dollar is just sitting ducks. a new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich. as.
6:43 am
children are torn between gold. my family was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to see which side will have the strongest appeal. i'm after a tattoo and you're watching a locked out edition of going underground in the wake of a himalayan glasgow breaking away causing an avalanche in the northern state of account in india but how is that as arthur involving hundreds linked to billions that alone perhaps the largest workers' strike in human history taking place joining a global pandemic joining me now is one of the world's foremost environmentalist scholars and activists who founded the research foundation for science technology and natural resource policy to come under her she joins me now from new delhi
6:44 am
vandana welcome to going on the ground again albeit a lot down edition there is actually news here from india they haven't explicitly calling it an environmental catastrophe let alone its links to dams and infrastructure projects what have you made of this dreadful tragedy in the himalayas involving a glass here you know i am from this region of with that kind where the ganges starts i became a volunteer for to call a decade we fought and we stopped to look but in the dam building stopped it and in trade you could you know there was a disaster we're actually got this one has lost a few lives and 200 people are missing. the 2013 disaster to get that out was. nearly 610-0000 missing and we did a very chatty there were 10 lots where dynamite was being blasted all of all had
6:45 am
related growth and all the muck from the stubbles was being dumped into the river so at that point we realised the other 3 things much. climate disaster because the glaciers amityville except for me imagine my look but just one. of thinking these fragile mansions can't take all the while it's a war and the current disaster. a deregulation disaster which assumes that contractors can make whatever money they want to and there's no liability there is no responsibility well deregulation which i got to reemphasize is definitely not mentioned linked to this tragedy in the himalayas has been connected i think by everyone to the largest what some say are the largest workers' strikes in human history it just recap what on earth has been going on over the past 16 months because in very little of all coverage in nato nations if you look at only
6:46 am
the last 6 months you want to understand what's going on because this started in 1901 when the world bank with conditionalities having got us into debt for the green revolution the chemical agriculture the fertilizers the dams and the 90000000000 debt we had and then they put structural adjustment and there were elements of structural adjustment they said you have to remove will stop holding the past limits you have to remove price regulation you have to get rid of the regulated markets which are run by corporate chips of treatise and farmers and governed by the regional governments not by the centralized government there's india such a large country every region has a different type because of crop differences to buescher system and you cannot have one uniform button but now not only do we have one unit going back to india mr gates my favorite person these days says he wants one it's one for the whole work
6:47 am
so the world bank want this package together and this means resistance against this but at the same time the w 2 rules were leaked in 91 and we knew what the globalized as the corporations wanted they wanted to patent see they wanted pretreated commodities and they wanted see. of sanitary measures to shutdown local food economies and promote junk food the result of all this has been 30 years of huge political agitation and movement and the fathers of many of the people on the streets today what must with me 500000 farmers in bangalore 200000 in the red thought we were saying food is too precious to be left to trade driven by profit it's not a commodity it is a lie you have for the farmers and a necessity for the rest so you have 50 years of who owns
6:48 am
a grotesque it's just that during the school with as has happened in every country those have been put in place which in democratic debate would not have come through and the furnace where young activists then so people 91 and today it's a continuum and part of those who would like us to forget history and raise it and rewrite it will probably get a machine really think people who've lived that being can forget it we truly east india company out in 857 it was a peasant revolt and britain but they still haven't found a heretic either. in london the british name to the support mutually just like they're trying to now rename these low movements as linked to religion or terrorism and and the spin is working overtime but these are peasants and as they say again. we are fighting for the saw oil and the soul of india if the small farmers are
6:49 am
normal india is not a civilization that is india they nourish the soul of this country and we have states more farmers in spite of the global powers wanting to grab the land and turn us into a large fund desert like the midwest of the united states is because of. this now for the sun this is not for india and this price invading this country that it is feeding 1300000000 i can tell you the us mother cannot feed 1300000000 the indian palmers have done it and i take pride in this. well as you say the movement certainly has grown in the quarter of a 1000000000 people now on the streets but the world bank would no doubt say ok there were mistakes made back then with there are. in ideological policies they reform to an extent another thrown around or modi india's leader he claims
6:50 am
that exactly what the farmers are protesting about they should be celebrating because it gives them more autonomy and reduces that. well in the infamous don't pay taxes we've kept agriculture because because agriculture so basic everything is not taxed in india so there's no issue of taxation as well as far as incomes and so incomes is a result of how much does it cost to produce and what do you earn well mende costs keep shooting up and a globalized system of monopolistic bind continues to drive prices down i have a book here my 36 years of research this will rise ational prices in the world bank admits this but as corporations take poor instead of a very intimate price that you know the ferma produces and gets in a consumer pays you get a poor rise issue where the prices the consumer be shooting up because of deregulation and the incomes farm is collapsing my research has shown that in
6:51 am
globalized supply chains the 1st pharma the farmer the original producer the primary producer gets as little as point $5.00 to $0.05 that's it take any commodity analyze it analyze the pineapples of bananas the coffees analyze it. traditionally in india it was a 6 percent difference and the deputy who rules how much it will be $91.00. the world bank groups $97.00 the quantitative descriptions and the small resident at growing and if it carries on this way 99 percent goes to the trading giant tree and of course by now in these 30 years of globalization every car has an indian park every month central has an indian park every pepsi has lots and lots of indian franchises so this idea that it is global corporations who are outside as. and
6:52 am
there's a domestic economy doesn't work in a global accessed the prate national boundaries these corporations they greet national sovereignty they great food so really unwillingly and promise of planting is food so pretty and that has been the struggle in india and i'm so glad you became a builder struggle foods already get food out of. rex it has been basically meat food totally subject to free trade rules of bad who wasn't chlorinated chicken g.m.o. dean at its root to them or some people would say breaks it was a response to the european union's contamination by that kind of ideological operators that you're just you've just been talking about am and all those companies would say they are benefitting the people in india as they act as well of course in developing countries all around the world i don't know perhaps they say
6:53 am
part of the ideology is precisely meritocracy precisely the idea of these free markets and those that do not succeed those small holders in the face of competition they go to the wall and can be given charity or some kind of crumbs from the table or some might call it competition how can one not least be competition how can 4 times controlling chemicals and c inputs and taking patents on what they store from us because british how can forward china green treatise collecting all the subsidies of the work. it's a duck a $1000000000.00 a day they call it from all the governments of the work and they call it the subsidies and the promise on have support and that is competition and pepsi coming in and making all our indigenous foods our street food us now x. our women's production skills illegal to say you know safety laws that's
6:54 am
competition. if it was a true level playing field the small farmer will win hands down that's my life's work now since 1984 small farmers are more productive the f a o has shown that it to percent of the food we eat comes from small farms small farms produce more our research in the movement has started now than ian has shown that small farms with by the u.s. city without chemicals can feed 2 times india's population if we farm in the right which basically what we are living through is food imperialism and an aspect of it is food reasons i'm where this is the minute some black and white all the black everything should be white by jingo white flour white rice white sort of people who are into black pepper and the big corporations who deny any malpractise all and you know how little car you know the private private health of. your argument might
6:55 am
have on you know is what led to the creation of the east india company it was the spices opinion and the west was paying one bag of gold for a bag of paper from india that's why india was so rich we had 25 percent of the world economy because of our spices and i've textiles the british took 45 trillion out of india to extortion through extraction from the peasants driving to famine the last being the great bengal famine which gets 2000000 people and the british made money during that time that led to a movement of women saying people don't give you too how what we call. least leave 2 kids with us and then move them into the. movement to end of payments and live to the essential commodities that which is one of the roles being dismantled so our history and the british history so we will but sadly we have the
