I'm from Malaysia and I just visited ganges on September 2022, super clean. It's very unlike the ganges shown in this documentary. I even went to the Kasi Viswanathan temple, it's Soo beautiful. I felt blessed to be there. Wish to go there again.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And smell of cow poo
Varanasi is much better tofay than before.
Yet there will be these ignorants who would keep barking I'm this comment section and spread hatred and mockery.
Are you serious? The Ganges is not clean what planet do you live on?
@@jaynicho2007 no need to make up stories here.....just keep shut
It's fascinating that it is a sacred place and the river banks are for everybody to enjoy and do what their culture dictates. I suppose here in the USA they would have built high end homes and condos for the super wealthy and some parts of the river as a private beach where you'd have to pay to enter. Just a different culture and I respect that. They've been doing that probably for thousands of years and it obviously works for them. They're alive and happy which is a lot more that I can say about some people around here.
Tele Opinions gald to read a positive comment!
completely agree with you, brilliant to see someone not being kinda racist
lets be honest, its dirty
Who else is here bc their RS teacher sent them?💀
Yes
Yep
me
What is rs?
@@foxyshazaam3310 religious studies and yup me too
you must visit India Rishikesh to experience clean and serene Ganga. However remember ,Varanasi has a different major spiritual significance.
"It's deeply brown" 😌 killed me.
จริงๆความสกปรกขนาดนั้นมันควรเป็นสีดำจึงจะเหมาะกว่าสีน้ำตาลเข้ม
So apparently this rive "can't be made dirty" yet it is the 6th most polluted river in the world and the most polluted in India. And yet people are CLEANSING themselves with their own waste and drinking it.
No offence to Hindus but I would have thought a holy river, supposedly a goddess, should have been properly treated so that people can actually go there in the future and bathe in it without getting ill?
bro ur content is gacha shush.
smh
@@maya-jm9nb I’m not harming myself or anyone around me by making it. What an irrelevant argument, saying that doesn’t clean the river, which is something people should do
@@sapphire3799 looool ur racist pipe down.
Listen ur rude and pathetic ur not co for commenting a racist comment pleaaassee.... no one asked for your opinion. Shush yourself and please educate urself it’s 2021 grow up!
@@maya-jm9nb It was not meant as a racist comment but now that you mention it I guess it can look like that. I mean that maybe we should get people cleaning the river so that people don’t get ill. And you’re not much better, as someone that makes comments on people’s hobbies rather than keeping criticism relevant. Maybe you should educate yourself on how to accept other people’s interests?
@@sapphire3799 listen u have no place to tell me what I need to educate myself on. You made a disrespectful comment. You disrespected someone’s interests too don’t forget that.
Such an objectionable woman. Where does the BBC find them? Get thee to a nunnery!
Been there, not for the faint hearted.
I've read an article before that there were decaying bodies of human and animals floating in the river. Is it true?
@@vashessymelody6787 no it’s not. They immerse ashes not whole bodies
@@vashessymelody6787 its true ! You can watch it on You Tube !
Not true
@@jalaldin3349average Muslim hater spreading lies.
The title should be dirty parts of india with sue Perkins 😂😂 because that's what BBC always shows.
racist
Aren't they technically bathing in dead bodies?
sure
200 bodies per day to be more specific
In piss and shit too 😷😷
If I was a prime minister I would put a long concentrate barrier along the river... For each River
I so want to visit Varanasi, my husband has visited it a few times. He said it is a dump, but still I want to go. That and Agra to see the Taj Mahal. x I have done india three times but never these areas.
Why Varanasi? Couldn't you bath in any part of Ganges? I'd be tempted to bathe closer to mountains.
How the hell do they enjoy themselves in dirty water
Hindu's believe that they are bathing in the waters of their Goddess Ganga, who was too powerful to be on earth, and so she is anchored down by the hairs of Shiva, in the Himalayas. They believe that if you bath in the river all of the sins that you have committed in this life is forgotten, and if you drink even a drop, every sin you have ever committed is gone for good. This makes you closer in your journey for your Atman to meet Brahman.
so what if they do it's not ur business. Theres no point in commenting .
@Sith 3P0 thank you very much ^-^
Ask Steve jobs
I am Indian and my parents are Hindu. I resented how my parents took me to these filthy congested places of pilgrimage when I was a minor. I would advise all sensible people to stay away. Except BBC reporters and historians etc. Richard Dawkins is spot on when he says it is child abuse to teach your children that they belong to a certain religion or denomination.
@asdf k what's not to understand? I didn't know pollution and hygiene were western topics 😂 😂
So majority of muslims belong to this category then
India all country so dirty trash every where.
Just for a little context here ... Hindu's believe that they are bathing in the waters of their Goddess Ganga, who was too powerful to be on earth, and so she is anchored down by the hairs of Shiva, in the Himalayas. They believe that if you bath in the river all of the sins that you have committed in this life is forgotten, and if you drink even a drop, every sin you have ever committed is gone for good. This makes you closer in your journey for your Atman to meet Brahman.

Har Har Mahaadev!!!
I did a mistake by scrolling through the comment section....
lol
Who’s here because there RS teacher sent u here
(Like if thats u)
Let me tell you BBC is that name "GANGA" remains "GANGA" in any language of the world. 2nd water may be of any color but it is never dirty. it always moving, flowing. Saint in Haridwar and Varanasi tells everyone that if you can Bath in GANGA without clothes (means holy water should touch your body) Most Men NEVER get Prostate CANCER and Women NEVER get a Breast CANCER. Incredible India is a spiritual country of the WORLD.
FFS Bathing in dirty shitty sewage water prevents cancer.... okay bud 😂

Keep your stupid medieval logic with you, your religion is not compatible with modern times.
What have you been smoking?
Stfu
YUCK!
shush
Yackyyy!!
Bath in corpse soup, it's sacred they say.
no offense
but in the vid i saw people drinking the water. I mean the water contains other people's dead body ashes.
Yea and they believe it’s sacred. Let them ...

Political correctness, the reporter just limits herself to saying "the water is deeply brown". Puff, how deep
Has she seen the colour of London's River Thames?
It's really hard to understand India if you haven't seen with your own eyes cause it's too diverse trust me.
That's why India will break up.

Jai ho x
Imagine taking your morning bath in a polluted toilet of medical waste, urine, pesticides and feces, then seeing your favorite aunt burning body float pass...You say "your a beautiful beautiful butterfly" !
I clearly sees indias future now.
How??
"It can't be made dirty" Duuuuuude just take a look at the FUCKING COLOUR! FFS...
Cool
are you kidding ? on the banks of the Ganges and someone offers you to take a dip that morning ? I would drop trow so fast and dive in no matter what the color ., like he said once in a lifetime
@BBC channel we Indians not at all like it when you call our holy Ganga river as Ganges. You can't change name of Ganga according to you , it alters the meaning.Ganga is not just a sacred river, she is our goddess ,the mother of billions so don't hurt a billion emotions.
Thank god i'm not Hindus
Thank God I'm not muslim.
❤😂
very good moving pictures, but the bla bla of the woman redaktor is terrible....no feeling of anything sacred, just dry mind in action creating that shallow bla bla...pity...
I want to drink water from that river
Drink from your toilet after you've pissed and shat in it. Same thing.

What "west" is this woman from? Christians celebrate death as they go to be with their Saviour for eternity. I feel sorry for these people bathing in polluted water seeking to purify their souls.
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” John 4:10
Living water is the only way to cleanse your soul.
The river is not sacred, it does not cleanse, what a pity nobody heeded what The Buddha said 2500 years ago when he spent time in Varanasi!
Yeah thats why the hindus of india did expelled most buddhists from india
It is sacred it will always be.
it is sacred to others, even if you don't believe so. I would recommend that you respect other's religions, and if you have nothing nice to say on that point, shut up.
U have no place to say wether it is or not.are u Hindu no. Be quiet and keep ur opinion to urself !
