Dive into the hidden history of Baina Beach in Vasco, Goa ā once Asia's largest red-light district, home to thousands of sex workers before its demolition in 2004. This investigative documentary explores the dark world of exploitation and human trafficking in Vasco, Goa, highlighting the efforts of local NGOs in rescuing victims and how sex work has shifted to digital platforms, lodges, and mobile contacts today.We met survivor Bhimavva Chalwadi, a former devadasi who endured 18 months of exploitation before being forced into Baina Beachās infamous red-light district in Vasco, Goa, at just 13ā14 years old. From poverty, an alcoholic father, and family betrayal to her dramatic 2001 rescue by the Crime Branch and NGO Anyay Rahit Zindagi (ARZ), Bhimavva shares her powerful journey. Today, she is an award-winning activist dedicated to rescuing thousands of girls from trafficking and prostitution.Copyright Disclaimer:Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for āfair useā for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.

I explored a forest-edge community in Goaās Western Ghats where humans and snakes live side by side. With famous snake expert @Benhail Antao, learned how coexistence works in real life ā from understanding snake behaviour and common myths to why most encounters happen by accident, not aggression. Also witnessed snakes being safely released back into the wild and got an up-close look at how their bodies function. From pythons to other local snakes, this journey sheds light on Indiaās snakebite reality, the importance of awareness, and how slowing down in the forest helps humans and wildlife share space safely. A big thanks to Mayur, a snake rescuer who showed us incredibly beautiful snakes that we got to release.
Last but not least, thanks to Artbybu, whose caricature we used in the video. Check out what life is really like where snakes š live next door.
Aheem, so we thought we were just going to film a small pre-Diwali tradition in Goa, but the night had a whole different plan for us. As darkness fell, things changed massively. We heard crazy loud drums and saw Narkasur statues, oh BTW theyāre made only at night! Those crazy giant demons came alive just before Diwali, and damn, that was fun...Take a look, Iām sure you wonāt be disappointedā¦Ā justĀ watch.
Pee Pee side, the cabbie is Prakash. He is not just an expert driverāhe knows everything about his job. You know, sometimes itās not just about the work that people like Prakash do, itās also about survival, not only for him but for his family, which he supports through his earnings.Magar Dekho yaar, life hamesha easy waise nahi hoti, lekin phir bhi, inse kabhi pucho, samajh aa jaayega ki woh kitne āchillā rehte hain bole tu kush. Kitni bhi problems ho, koi tension nahi. Yaar, maza toh inke paas hai, but ahh who knows if theyāll pass this profession on to their kids or not. One thingās for sure thoughāwhatever they do, they live every single moment. In the first episode of Abduls of India, I am here with Prakash, what I told you āExpertā taxi driver who has been celebrating his work for years. Ah, I donāt remember exactly how long, but he will tell you himself š0:00 ā 2:30: Shuru karte hain⦠kidhar jaane ka hai jaldi bolo2:30 ā 12:30: How many years heās been doing it12:30 ā 22:30: Maza ya Majori22:30 ā 32:30: Problems-Shoblem32:30 ā 38:00: happy times and surprise 'scam' call
La la la la la. Went fishingāvishing, but not the rod-wod kind. This was net-throwing, the ācatch me if you canā edition. And the man behind the magic? Goaās very own celebrity caster, Francisco Fernandes⦠or, as every wave in Goa knows him, Pele Bhau! So, Pele Bhau and his team dragged me into some seriously wild adventures.From fish to turtles to crabs, we netted quite a cast of characters. And just when you thought the sea was the only field, we ended up kicking it old-schoolāfootball on the sand. Oh, and hereās the real catch of the day: Pele wasnāt just netting fish, he was netting calls on his Nokia E35. I asked him why, and his answer was simple, because this phone is built like a rock and plays ball better than most smartphonesThumbnail Credits: Aditi Mishra ā because she made us do it
Cabinet Secretary for Finance Mark Drakeford, who also served as the former First Minister of Wales, joined Google Guest with Aman Verma. And trust meāit was certainly a thought-provoking conversation about his initial journey in politics, his mentor Rhodri Morgan, the challenges of leadership, and the future of Welsh-Indian relations.
Starting from his early days in the lecture halls of Cardiff University to his role as a special adviser, he reflected on how his experience working with Rhodri Morgan shaped his political career. We discussed it allāhis leadership, governance, and key decisions.
During our discussion, we also touched on the responsibility of managing the NHS. Known for his commitment to social justice, he spoke about the constant balancing act between progressive ideals and the practical realities of governing a diverse nation.
Trade with India was another key topic. He addressed concerns over job losses at Tata Steel and discussed how the Welsh government could support workers while reassuring Indian investors.
In short, many important issues were covered. Check out the episodeāyouāre definitely going to like it!
