If you show this sticker, you will be allowed. - Oh okay. Or they will ask you. - Oh, okay. Gods, greetings, greetings, greetings. We are going to Lakshadweep. The union territory of India. From space the cluster of islands look like lakhs of islands. Not literally a lakh islands. Actually there are only 36 islands. We are going to visit one island out of those 36 islands. The name of the island is Kadmat Island. Dr Bro? Sir.. - Dude, is it you? How are you? Dude, is it you? How are you? I'm good, sir. Where were you last month? I was in Dubai. When did you come here? - I came here yesterday. You are doing a really good job. Full of energy. Thank you, sir. - You are doing really great. The cruiser ship is on that side. This is where you exit the cruiser ship. A boat has come to take us to the Kadmat Island. We have to get on to this boat and go to the Lakshadweep islands. Watch your step. Oh! It's a small boat. If the cruiser starts to sink they will save the lives with a similar boat. They've got seats for us to sit. They've all come from Karnataka to Lakshadweep. To see Lakshadweep islands. Look at the beautiful view of the Lakshadweep island. How does it feel to be out here in the Lakshadweep with your family? Hello. How does it feel to be out here with your family? We are here at Kadmat island of the Lakshadweep. As you can see there. We will deboard and go inside. Gods! Welcome to the union territory. We are at Kadmat Island. There are 36 similar islands. Actually, Lakshadweep islands is quite close from Mangalore. But the port is at Kochi. The people of the Lakshadweep islands look like Keralites. Because from olden times, everything from groceries to medicines was brought from Kerala. Because Kerala is very easily accessible from here. So people here are very familiar with Kerala. People here look like Keralites. After catching a bus from the ferry, we have reached a resort. A government resort. Look at the welcome we're getting from Lakshadweep government resort. Everyone was waiting there because they were afraid of getting stabbed. But now they are coming. Everyone is coming in fear of getting stabbed. India itself is a land of diversity. Imagine the diversity of the union territory of India. We've never seen all this before. I have to tell you this. When India and Pakistan got divided both India and Pakistan tried to capture Lakshadweep islands. Pakistan came with a huge battalion. To capture Lakshadweep. But before that just two Indian army personnel had hoisted the Indian flag on Lakshadweep. The Pakistanis saw the Indian flag on the Lakshadweep island from far they realised that Indian army had already captured this place. So they went back. If at all Lakshadweep had gone into Pakistan's hands it would've become a big problem for India in the current situation. Due to security issues. But at this moment we have to remember the Iron man of India Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel ji. All this was possible because of him. If not for him, India would've been divided into at least 10-15 separate unions. Look how they've constructed a bridge on the ocean. Take the bridge and walk along. This bridge will be floating. As the waves come and go. Look how it is shaking. Brother, are you enjoying? Yes, yes, yes, great time! He would've got tired of life after doing his 9-5 job. So are you working a regular 9-5 job? - Yes, yes. And you've started hating life? - Yes. So are you able to release the stress and trauma here? - Yes. He's getting some enjoyment out of life. After diving into the ocean that sick feeling will go away. That is the speciality of the ocean. Boss-u! When I got on to this boat I thought they would take us to snorkelling. But once I got on to the boat I realised that it's actually a luggage auto. Look how many people are on board. This clearly outmatches a luggage auto. Only this place is left vacant. Otherwise it's filled with people. We're all going to a fair! Hip Hip! - Hurray! Hip Hip! - Hurray! Are you a Malayali? Yes, I can speak Malayalam, Hindi.. My aunt is a Malayali. His mother is a Malayali. Your aunt is Kannada? Kannada Kannada.. Yes, aunt is Kannada. What is 'Chikamma'? - Small mother. With me is a police officer of the Lakshadweep! I'm sure you've seen Karnataka police. This is what Lakshadweep police look like. Hey, this police is on fire! Sir, do you do lathi charge to thieves in Lakshadweep? Yes, lathi charge. Especially during election time. Lathi charge during election time. And when fire starts he puts it off with water. A big salute to him! Lakshadweep islands is 11 kilometres long. And half a kilometre wide. So if you keep going you can see the ocean on both sides. Look, you can see the ocean on this side. You will find the ocean on that side and here. Because of vast ocean area, people here do fishing. Coconut trees grow very easily in the soil of Lakshadweep. Wherever you see, there are coconut trees all around. How do you do? Oh, they're returning home from Pondicherry College. They're riding cycles! It's a great thing that they cycle to college. If students back in our country are asked to cycle to college they will act like crazy maniacs. But these students have no ego at all. They cycle to and from college. They are living a village life. Nice to know. Here in Lakshadweep you will find Pondicherry University. Students come here to study. The president of India inaugurated this college. Look, it's written in Malayalam. Government college of arts and science. It looks awesome from outside. Pondicherry college in Lakshadweep. Right in front of the college there's the ocean. After college, students can come have lunch here. What a life these students are leading! Golden life! Calm and peaceful ocean. Very happy to be around here. This is not any different country. It's the union territory of India. This is India. Hello. You are from Pondicherry college? Is the college over? Or you bunked college and you're sitting here? There's an ocean right in front of this college. How you feel? How does it feel? In front of our college, there's a road. Economics sir? No! He's a student! Economics student? He's an economics student. Sing a song. Wow! Your name? Your sweet name? Abdul Wazir! Are you all degree students? Students. - Which year? 1st year. - Oh, you are first year kids? Okay, all the best. I finished my degree last year. Do I look like a degree graduate? I am an educated person. No? Thank you, thank you. All the best, enjoy your college life. After college, responsibilities start. So enjoy the time that you have. Boss-u! There are totally 36 islands in Lakshadweep. Out of these 36 islands 10 islands are habitable. People of Lakshadweep live there. And tourists can also visit these islands. Kavaratti is the capital of Lakshadweep. If you want to come by air you will land in Agatti airport. Then from one island to another you can either travel by boat or speed vessels. The cruiser in which we came is there. Tied down to the anchor. Boss-u, not many of you know. It's a very important thing. As Indians we must know this. There is a procedure in the union territory of Lakshadweep. And that is, when a man marries a woman the woman doesn't move to the man's house. But the man moves to the woman's house and lives there. A bride is expected to offer dowry to her new family according to our practice. Maybe in the past but nowadays not anymore. But here it is different. A groom is expected to offer dowry to his new family. But he offered exorbitant dowry to his wife's family. This is his wife's house. This is it. This is his wife's house. After he gets married, he, his wife and his in-laws will live in this house. This is the speciality of Lakshadweep. We should know all this. Okay, this is an old well of Lakshadweep. A tree that has grown up from below. Can we drink the water? Is it drinking water? Only.. What do you use this water for? Bathing? Do you bathe here everyday? Hehe! Nice. Boss-u! This is a 300 year old tree. A 300 year old tree of the Lakshadweep. Oh, it's got bent and twisted. It's been at this shore for 300 years. Against these incoming waves. The roots are standing strong. This tree isn't fallen down. The trunk is there. And it's just got bent. This tree can survive for many more years. What is the name of this fruit? It's called Palaalam. Oh, is this fruit called Palaalam? This fruit is called Palaalam, it seems! Oh, we can eat it? - Yes. The name of this area is Chaalna Haar. There's a road straight into the ocean. It leads directly to the ocean. There are boats there. The boats of the fishermen. I've been noticing the water near the shore is blue in colour. The water is blue in colour. As you go deeper into the ocean the water will turn dark. The water is dark blue in colour. If any of you folks watching know why it's so leave it in the comments. The water is light blue at the shore and the deeper you go it turns dark blue. If you walk straight across, you will reach mainland India. Gods, after sight seeing Lakshadweep we are here to play some sports. Look at how clean the waters of Lakshadweep are! It looks like holy water. Just smear it on the eyes and drink it. The water is so transparent. Look. I've been to so many beaches in Mumbai and other places. But these waters are pollution free. Look, he drives the boat. They provide water service and conduct activities. They swim in the ocean every day. What do you have to say about Lakshadweep island? It's a water sourcing.. Banana boating. Snorkelling. Glass boating. Scuba diving is very good here. Okay. Cover us too. - Yes.. It's fun to go on Banana rides with three or four people. That's the fun. - Yes, yes. Let it go forward. - Let it go ahead. Let it go forward! Speed up! Go faster! Banana ride is only so much? It's a total waste. Look how they are going. He's doing wheelies! But here they're riding it slowly like a bullock cart. Your Banana is not making any noise. Did I make you angry? When I told them that they're very slow. Did you get angry and make us fall? No, everyone does this. - Is it? So that they taste the water. They have bread and bun. But I can't digest such foods. Papad can be digested. Spinach and onions are also good. That man reads the minds of the audience. I don't know what trick he used. But he did it really well. I hope you all enjoyed this video of the Lakshadweep. If you like this video, give it a like. Or dislike it without thought. Do something or the other. I'll meet you all in the next video with something special. Till then take care, bye bye. Goodbye from Lakshadweep, India. Take care!!!
