I investigated life on water!😯

Download Duolingo for free: https://app.adjust.net.in/1a3mvnmx Imagine living in a place with no roads, no electricity. This place doesn’t even exist on Google Maps. I spent days inside India's only floating village, and what I found there was unimaginable. -Families who have lived here for 5 generations are being called illegal settlers by the state. -In 2011, government forces burned their homes, compensation given was ₹20,000 per house. -Plans are going on to displace the entire village and build golf courses, yoga retreats, and hotels in its place. -There's a law that makes it illegal to live on the lake, drink its water, or even pluck its grass, while the people who depend on it have no alternative And yet life here is extraordinary. Women run everything. The world's only floating national park is here. I sat with families living in school classrooms after losing everything in Manipur's 3-year ethnic conflict. Women weaving on looms in the same rooms where their children sleep. This video isn't just about a floating village. It's about people who built an entire civilization on water, and are being pushed off it, one policy at a time. Could you imagine a life here? Tell me in the comments. ------------------- Credits: Host: Kavya Production Lead: Jyotsna (@jytsna) Creative Producer: Akshit Chawla DOP: Gaurav Mandal (@gurvmndl), Deepak Negi (@Deep Negi._) Editors: Sameer (@kounsameer), Deepak, Gaurav *************** Timestamps: 00:00 - Welcome to India's only floating village 01:17 - Loktak Lake & Champu Khangpok Village 02:42 - Inside a Floating House Tour 04:02 - Life without electricity & running water 07:28 - Holi celebrations on water (5 Days Long!) 11:26 - Athaphum: The unique circular fishing rings 12:52 - Addressing the "momo" stereotype 15:41 - World's only floating national park 17:11 - World's Largest Women-Run Market 20:46 - Manipuri food & local beer 22:57 - Our shaking floating homestay 26:59 - Inside a Manipur Relief Camp 30:37 - Floating school & its uncertain future ****************** My Gears for shooting this video: Sony A7s3 - https://amzn.to/3XaeyjE Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 (Lens) - https://amzn.to/44lM4qZ Sony 16–35mm F2.8 GM II (Lens) - https://amzn.to/47RnWPt Sony NP-FZ100 (Battery) - https://amzn.to/485RV53 DJI MIC 2 (Mic) - https://amzn.to/3LO4Ktc DJI MIC 2 (Single) - https://amzn.to/4iaHRw9 Rode Video mic - https://amzn.to/4rYunIl insta360 X5 (360 Camera) - https://amzn.in/d/fOzTsuI ********************* About me: KK Create is a channel run by Kavya Karnatac.
