How does it compare to other cases that we've seen?
Damini NathGUEST
23:25
I haven't come across a case like this so far in any of the states that we have covered, you know, starting with Bihar where the SIR was first rolled out and then in Bengal as well.
Damini NathGUEST
23:34
This entire case has actually raised quite a few questions because the ECI's SIR guidelines are very clear.
Damini NathGUEST
23:41
BLO's can accept the Form 6 or can collect the Form 6 for new enrollment during the draft stage, but they don't process it.

And the entire SIR process is only to prepare the electoral rolls, and the Election Commission's mandate only covers the electoral roll.
Damini NathGUEST
29:28
But what we have seen in states where the SIR has been completed is that state governments have used the SIR rolls as one of the filters to weed out what they call ineligible beneficiaries of welfare schemes or of, uh, ration schemes.
Damini NathGUEST
29:44
What we've seen in, um, Bihar and in Bengal, it shows that the SIR electoral rolls can be used by state governments as a database to, you know, weed out what they call ineligible beneficiaries.

Because there's so much of fertility, and one crazy place we can go on a, uh, mystery hunt is Bihar, because the descriptions of wealth of Bihar are unbelievable.
Akshay ChavanGUEST
22:52
Like, there are descriptions of ships, barges filled with gold and silver sailing up the Ganges to Patna and Munger, which were filled with, you know, silver.
Cyrus BroachaHOST
23:02
Wow.
Akshay ChavanGUEST
23:02
The amount of silver, I mean, this is during Siraj ud-Daulah's time.
Cyrus BroachaHOST

But the amount of gold and silver which came into Bihar was unbelievable, like, extremely fertile.

Well, the protests started in Delhi, in India's north, which is obviously very significant because Uttar Pradesh, the state that Delhi is in, is the state that is currently held by the ruling party, the Bh-BJP, which is the party of Prime Minister Modi.
Nayana PrakashGUEST
6:03
The protests spread to states like Bengal, to Bihar, to Assam, you know, other states that are held by the ruling party.
Nayana PrakashGUEST
6:11
But support for these protests has run all over the country.
Nayana PrakashGUEST

Frater BTHOST

Frater BTHOST
5:19
It sort of goes hand in hand with words like Nirvana or Samadhi or things like that, and even meditation, but they each have their specific meaning.

A carpenter upon the works had plenty sawed through a long beam of wood and wedged it open, and was gone away, leaving the wedge fixed.
Suril DesaiGUEST

But then my dad discovered this treaty between India and Mauritius because Mauritius has a lot of Indian indigenous population.
Suril DesaiGUEST
12:07
So, back in the, I think in the 1800s and 1900s and all, a lot of labor from India was going to Mauritius, especially from Bihar.
Suril DesaiGUEST
12:23
So, if you go to Mauritius, the first main language is French, Creole, and the second most important language is Bhojpuri, which not too many people know about.
Suril DesaiGUEST

And A lot of Indian indigenous population is there.
