Last April, We were in the midst of chaos in New Delhi. Day and night, ambulances criss-cross the city. The capital has become a gigantic pyre. Everywhere, bodies are being cremated. This crematorium has been operating 24 hours a day for 10 days. We'll put it here. Rahman Sing is a student and volunteered. Since the beginning of the crisis, It helps the poorest families. He carries the wood that will be used to burn the bodies
and offers support. Who is dead ? Your mother ? No, she's my wife. Be strong, we are with you. I would like to say that the mortality rate indicated
by the government is completely wrong. They say there's only 200 people
who died in a single day. It is false, it is much more. This government does nothing. We have no oxygen, no beds,
no ventilators, not even enough ambulances. India, breaks contamination records, It has become the epicenter of the virus in the world. A hecatomb that had not seen coming
the one who has ruled India for 8 years, Narendra Modi, Prime Minister, Who declared last January
that India had overcome the pandemic. This country has successfully controlled the coronavirus. And it saved the whole world
and all mankind from certain devastation. 4 months later, India is on its knees. Hospitals are overwhelmed, The sick die in the street for lack
resources and organization. Let the ambulance pass! Step back, step back! It's the panic, people are fighting for
oxygen cylinders and their survival. We've been waiting since this morning! Let us pass! Please, my mother is dying! 350,000 sick and thousands of deaths every day, including many young people. Doctors and volunteers, like Rahman Sing, are exhausted. Critics of Modi
are more and more numerous. He is blamed, For authorizing the Kumbh Mela, One of the largest religious gatherings in the world. It was last February. 10 million Hindu pilgrims united,
without a mask or any barrier gesture. Did he want to flatter his electorate? Modi is the leader of the BJP,
ruling Hindu ultra-nationalist party. Prime Minister since 2014, Narendra Modi
reassuring as well as frightening. First seen as liberal and modern, Like a father of the nation, he gradually
turned into an Indian guru. Who knows that behind this reassuring white beard, Hiding a tough, determined man,
who supports an extremist ideology? It's an India you don't know, An India that marches on. She is the one who trained Narendra Modi. Hindu Youth, a paramilitary faction
ultra secret to which we had access. A group, to train the future elites of the country, For an India, 100% Hindu. With Modi, they conquered power. No wonder then that in this India there, The cow is more sacred than ever. His government is investing millions
in programs of protection and studies, On its benefits for man. An Indian who drinks cow urine
will never get sick. There's gold in it! Muslims and Christians, they Considered cow killers, Are punished, lynched by the mob. People are bloodthirsty! Modi put poison in their heads. The protesting voices are muzzled,
impossible to criticize the government, Without risking being imprisoned. Secret Service Arrested My Husband
and took him to court. Since then, he has not returned. This lawyer defends dozens of cases like this one. If you disagree with the government,
they treat you like a terrorist. Modi is accused of exacerbating tensions
and divide the country. Fascist, ultranationalist, dictator, The politician scares everyone
a part of the population. He sees Muslims as enemies. One year from the next presidential elections, What remains of the largest democracy in the world? And this tricolor flag, Orange for Hindus, green for Muslims
and white for other religions. Is Gandhi's dream of a united nation threatened? In the land of Modi, cows, did you know?
Are treated better than men. They have become divinities on legs. Upon coming to power, Modi's government has unblocked
tens of millions of euros, For their well-being. 1 hour drive from New Delhi, There is a luxury retreat
for individual residents. It is a gaushalas, a refuge for cows. There are 5000 farms like this in India. They are subsidized by the state
and private donations. This former security guard, a devout Hindu, Left his life that had no meaning, according to him, To devote himself voluntarily to his cows. We believe in the divinity of the cow. They are goddesses
our mothers to all. Outside, they suffer and they
eat anything, even plastic. Here, everything is clean, they don't get poisoned. These cows are pampered, And their droppings are
carefully harvested. These are considered miraculous. Every day, the former agent of
security and his young apprentice, Get up at 4 a.m. to
collect the first urine. I stimulate them It's to make them urinate. First choice urine
intended for human consumption. * Many diseases are healed, Just by touching our cows or
rubbing their hands on their backs. Indian cows are the best. All doctors and scientists
agree to say so. Here, we believe in the therapeutic virtues
of the cow on the man. The manager of this farm,
Doctor Daya Conceives drugs from urine, And also cow dung. Manure is transformed, Packaged in granules or capsules, Before being sold in
pharmacies in the country. Doctor Daya wants us
show all the steps. The smell of urine and ammonia is unbearable. They seem used to it. * We pour urine from
cow in this tank. * Then we boil it
and foam forms. The foam is the gas
of ammonia that is released. Then, we remove this foam, Because it could damage the liver. And there in those jars, We prepare all kinds of medicines. There is even some to cure
AIDS and cancer. We put the base and then we add
everything we need. For example aloe vera or turmeric. Then it is mixed with cow urine. His practice is based on conviction, That everything that comes out of cows is divine. In these tanks, the urine is filtered
until it becomes clear. Look at that, it's like water! He himself drinks it every day. * When an Indian drinks regularly
urine and milk, Or eat butter, He never gets sick, ever! In all his life, he will not have
a single disease. And it is thanks to the presence of gold in the urine, But also in the milk of our cows. * It is essential for us, But also for the entire universe. * you are saying
is there gold in the urine? Yes yes. All this is proven by analyses, Which showed the presence of gold. * All these beliefs are proclaimed
as scientific truths. Look, this is our medicine stockpile. * Tablets for all kinds of ailments, Liver, digestion or even syrups. He sells 3,000 bottles a month. And lately, sales have
exploded all over the country, Hindu clerics made the
promotion of cows urine, Against coronavirus. * The coronavirus is a bacterial disease. * And this cow urine
destroys all bacteria. * Others smear themselves with cow dung
cow for the same reasons. Indian doctors warn of
alternative treatments for coronavirus. Faced with the growing influence
of these sorcerer's apprentices, The Indian College of Physicians had to intervene. People should understand, What to use cow droppings, Or all kinds of animal waste, May instead increase
risk of disease or infection. Today in Modi's India, We drink the urine of cows, We can get covered in dung and
wash with her milk, But you can die from eating it. These last years, Cows unleash passions
and the most extreme violence. Fanatical Hindus who
strike until death. Just be suspected
to eat beef, To finish, Like this 15 year old young man, Lynched by a mob on a train. He was a Muslim. Muslims, 14% of the population, 200 million Indians, Who have clearly become targets. And Modi is increasing the pressure. In 2019, it reformed access to
Indian citizenship. The law provides for the regularization
immigrants on condition, They are not Muslims. A measure against which the Indians
of all denominations manifest. When celebrities, students, Ordinary citizens
defend a cause, It's becoming a movement. Tension mounts and the situation
escalates into confrontations. In New Delhi, Hindu extremists, Get into several
northern districts of the city, Where many Muslims live. They are armed and will sow terror. Stone throwing, live ammunition. nationalist factions, Aimed at Muslims only. For 3 days, Residents call for help But the police and the army came
reinforcements do nothing. They will even be suspected of having
participated in the lynching. arson, Until the destruction of the houses. After 3 days and 2 nights
murderous madness, Hindu extremists leave the scene. The balance sheet is heavy, 54 dead, hundreds injured. Waking up is painful. Three districts of the capital are destroyed. Whole streets with their
houses and their businesses, Were set on fire. Thousands of families are
now homeless. Parvez Alam lives here. He must have holed up with a friend. He is a paramedic and when
the riots broke out, He was on duty, he saw it all. This is where it all started, 2 days ago. The crowd has come over there. They were Hindu extremists. They came from elsewhere. This neighborhood is inhabited by families, Muslims who have nothing to
do with this violence. Look, he lives here. They attacked his house, They broke the windows. In the crowd there were some people, who gave instructions. They showed the houses
that had to be attacked, And the ones that shouldn't be. They only targeted those who
belonged to Muslims. Parvez is Muslim, he grew up
in this quiet neighborhood, Where all the communities lived in harmony. And like everyone this morning... Oh my God. He discovers the damage. That was our big public school. I was told she was attacked by the mob. They set it on fire. * Nothing remains of the classrooms,
textbooks, Nothing. 800 students were enrolled
in this public school. * This house belongs to a Muslim. The assailants also set fire to it. Everything burned from bottom to top. Look, there's nothing left. It is your house ? Yes. You must have lost all your stuff. Unfortunately yes. There is a climate of terror today. We will no longer be able
to live here as before. I will sell everything and leave India. And the police protected you? No, they haven't moved. We were afraid to die and
they did nothing. The behavior of the police is unimaginable, I do not understand. We have lived here for 14 years, And this is the first time we've seen this. Here we live with the Hindus, There was never a problem
between communities. We never would have thought, That there would be such clashes one day. that we should leave,
run away from our own homes. I am 24 years old and all my life, I never witnessed
of such violence in Delhi. Everyone was very scared. We thought we were dying. No one had imagined
experience such atrocities. Here we live together, Whatever our religion. But since Modi is in power, People are full of hate, And their minds are poisoned. People are bloodthirsty. * We could never have
imagine that in our country. * Did the government let Delhi burn? After the clashes, No official has yet come to the scene. The inhabitants are on their own. So we must act, Parvez has fulfilled
his food ambulance. Donations that he was able to collect. * The victims received no
government assistance, Nor from the city authorities,
nor the government. * That's why we decided,
to help people. Driving his ambulance,
Parvez is quickly blocked, Volunteers arrive from all over
the city to help too. Like those men in turbans, Sikhs,
another religious minority. People are starving. Children have not eaten anything for three days. * You have to stop, it's blocked. There is a procession. You can't go there. * Processions accompany the
bodies of the victims in silence. 54 residents were killed. Parvez, knows the relatives of this victim. This person was murdered
during the attacks. They burned down his house
and they shot him. He was killed with a bullet to the head. There, between the two eyes, at close range. Faced with the absence of the authorities, The residents mobilized. In one day, this camp was organized, A refugee camp in the middle
heart of the Indian capital. Volunteers flock from all over the city, To set up tents and
welcome families to the street. The whole neighborhood rushes to this makeshift camp. And Parvez is one of thousands of volunteers, On a war footing and in revolt. The tents are over there, Let it pass! * tents, food, Small hands, but also doctors
to help the many injured. And a question on everyone's lips:. "Why the police did nothing
to prevent this massacre? * When the police arrived in the neighborhood, We asked them about us
help escape attacks. By forming a safety cordon
to protect us. But they did nothing. We had to manage to escape. Calm has returned But no one feels safe anymore. Parvez is shocked by these stories. He doesn't understand why either. 3 days of violence were possible
in a capital, in a democracy. He wants to go to the morgue, Where are the families gathered?
angry victims. They wait to be able to recognize
the bodies of their loved ones. Everyone here feels abandoned. * Stop killing our children. The families kept the photo of their loved one, A son, a father, a brother, Mutilated, lynched. If only the Delhi police had acted, And had intervened at the right time, This pogrom would not have taken place in Delhi. The government is sleeping! He is blind to atrocities. The police themselves shot at the victims. The police are in cahoots The whole administration is in cahoots! Did the police let it happen? Could the government have stopped this violence? Narendra Modi waited 2 days before reacting. With just a tweet. A call for peace and harmony
without condemning the attackers. This story recalls another in 2002, Orchestrated anti-Muslim pogroms
again by Hindu extremists. The police are accused of passivity,
even complicity. 3 days of destruction and murders. The balance sheet is terrible, 2000 dead. All this in a ruled state
then by Narendra Modi. And again, he does not react, And his responsibility is in question. But his political career
is in no way affected. * Who is Narendra Modi really? Whoever swears by the Indian Constitution, or the ally of extremist Hindus. Modi never lets go
defamatory or provocative remarks. To understand what he believes in, You have to go back up his journey and he begins, Within a radical paramilitary group. The RSS, a patriotic organization, For young Hindus from 3 to 15 years old. Narendra Modi entered it when he was 8 years old. And it is here that most
members of the ruling party, The BJP, have made their classes. * If we can only convert 3%
of the nation to our values. Seat the people, Make them listen like
you do it today, So we can change
the face of this country. Dressed in khaki, his students must
follow the strictest discipline. On the program raising the saffron flag,
the color of Hinduism. And learning combat techniques. No interview possible that day, But we will find out elsewhere, Up to what paranoid delirium can
go the talk of these supremacists. We were able to go In a school for girls of the organization. During a self-defense class. Imagine your target before shooting. The members of this school will tell us, Their fight for an India without Muslims, Enemies who do not take
don't even bother to name. In our India, I wish there were only people
who share Hindu values. Those who are patriotic and love their country. We see that all
countries that are Muslim, Do not tolerate other religions. Watch them act in their country, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon. This is why we must
prepare to defend ourselves. To depend on no one, And not having to go through these kinds of problems. And that's why you train his daughters. Yes, because I want that if
one day we get there, Let them fight for our nation. These girls belong
to the Indian middle class. They come here to do their
good hindu education, Before being married. A member of the organization is
came to give a conference. His speech is delirious, But that's what they hear every day. They try to reduce the number
of Hindus in this country. Tell me if it's good or not, For a Hindu girl to marry
with a Muslim or a Christian. It's bad ! A Muslim is capable of anything. According to the laws of his religion, He can cut up his wife and eat her. They are allowed to do that. Is our religion like that? No. No, because our religion is the best. Our religion is the greatest. * The RSS movement was born in the 1920s. He is inspired by far-right organisations, Including the German Nazi Party. In his books published in the 1960s, The ideologue of the Golwalkar organization, Makes glowing references to Nazi Germany. Gandhi's assassin in 1948, Was from the RSS. After his training in this patriotic group, Narendra Modi joins the BJP, The ultranationalist party in power since 2014. Is he in command to apply, The supremacist ideology advocated
by this organization? We went to meet one
of the prime minister's staunchest supporters. His name is Shiladitya Dev, And he is an MP and a member of the BJP. Also known for his anti-Muslim remarks, He never moves without his close guard. I had death threats. There were 400 calls during
of the past five years. Threats every time. Muslim groups, Islamist groups
around the world. They identify as residing in Bangladesh, In Pakistan and other foreign countries, Even from England, the Philippines, From the United States, from the Middle East, everywhere. In the area, Shiladitya Dev, Does not hide his pro-Hindu positions. Today he is campaigning in
a predominantly Hindu district. He backs the BJP candidate
for the next local elections. For years, the Hindu electorate, Hears speeches about the Muslim peril. * In this country, we were 80% Hindus. Today we have been reduced to 70%. We are now moving towards a minority. Our rights are violated, The lands of our temples are seized. The land of our ancestors is taken from us. Our women do not feel safe. * Play on fear. On this day, the speech is adapted to its public, Only women who have been
summoned to hear their MP. * The whole country is in danger. The Hindu community is in danger. If the opposition returns to power, The whole Hindu community will have
problems again. They have already divided this country on
the basis of religion, And they will continue to destroy it. * For these voters, Shiladitya Dev carries the voice and the project
of their Prime Minister Narendra Modi. * Yes, we say it, We want an India for Hindus only, Because we are all Indians. * I love Modi, he is like my father. He is our God! Yes Modi, it is my God. Shiladitya Dev has joined the ranks
of the BJP 30 years ago. With for idol and model, Narendra Modi. People who work with me say:. "Modi is your idol." It's true. In 2015 he was Prime Minister, He came here and I accompanied him
in many meetings. I sort of escorted him. At the end of the day,
he hugged me very tight. He put his hand there,
on my face like that. And it was like I
felt his iron hand. I've been in the prime minister's hand
country for a few minutes. And it's as if the
time had stopped. * Shiladitya Dev has also integrated, The ranks of the organization
patriotic in his youth. This is where he trained, like Modi. Then he joined the BJP. There it was when I was in
the youth section of the BJP. We organized a
hunger strike in Delhi, To protest against immigration
illegal in Bangladesh. * It's a threat to Indian culture, Our culture, our land, our political rights, And religion, of course. Because Bangladeshis are Islamists, They come here, they practice Islam, They convert the people who are here,
who practice Hinduism, And that becomes a real problem. * This fear of the loss of Hindu identity, It is the obsession of nationalists. Fighting immigration is not enough, We must reclaim territories
and people them with good Hindus, Patriots and Religious. And for that, they have to create, A pure breed. In the state of Gujarat, Led for 13 years by Narendra Modi. This center which looks like a holiday club, Funded by the health branch of the RSS movement, Attracts families for a
very strange promise. To give birth to perfect and superior beings. In these huts, couples come
design their future wonders. Doctor Narouami is the one who theorized, Developed a program that mixes, Religion, diet and indoctrination. After purifying the body
and blood vessels, We will move on to the process which
will allow you to elevate your soul, To make it beautiful and thus cleanse your body. She set up this center 15 years ago. It doesn't matter if the method works, It is the speech that pleases. Design a perfect little Hindu. Today it's Sony's turn,
25 years old, and Rajesh, 27 years old. The ceremony is organized
by a Hindu priestess. The dates of their stay were
planned by an astrologer. They will stay here 7 days
to conceive their child. We must pray for this every day. * To help them in their prayers, The couple must throw urine into the fire
and dried cow dung. Here, we use the word science a lot, But it does not have the same meaning as elsewhere. It is the science of the Vedas, Which comes from the sacred texts. * It's the process. We have to follow these rituals. It is purely scientific. For example, the time
especially pregnancy, It's from the sixth
ovulation day, That day, the color we wear, Must attract cosmic rays from the universe. Behind this atmosphere
of peace and tranquility, This is Hindu supremacist thought
which is put into practice. There is the idea of purifying the Indian people. Once pregnant, women follow the program, For their child to be a perfect Hindu, Pious, intelligent and patriotic. Doctor Narouami has already opened, A dozen clinics across the country. Several thousand children are
born following this project. She sees dozens of patients every day, And promises them for 800€, The birth of a prodigy. Her program begins well before pregnancy. It's about repairing damaged genes. For 9 months, the future parents follow
a draconian dietary protocol, A purifying diet. You follow your diet well
milk and all? Yes. In the morning, I take almond milk, Puffed rice and wheat biscuits. Very well. To all his patients, Doctor Narouami asks, To read religious texts, These same texts which serve as
reference to Hindu nationalists. * You have taken it all in. I am still learning them. Perfect, you'll have to read a little more. In these sacred texts would be found,
real science, she says. Before, people were more obedient
and he was following the tradition. Today they are obsessed
by logic and science. And they question our beliefs. fight logic, This is indeed brainwashing. But for what purpose? Once his mission is accomplished, Doctor Narouami advises parents, To put their children in
suitable schools. The schools, financed by the famous RSS,
the paramilitary organization. There are 2500 today. We went to one of them. All parents follow the program, And they will tell us
how well it works, To obtain perfect children. I have 2 children, A girl, she is 8 years old. Back then I wasn't here
and I didn't do anything special. But this child there, it's a boy
and I followed the preparation. And now I can see the
difference between the two. My daughter is unbearable, While he is very
peaceful and very intelligent. What then becomes of these
lovely toddlers? They follow the courses of the director, She also a fervent patriot, And who is going to show us this card which
sums up the goal of all his efforts, To return to ancestral India, ideal,
reunified and 100% Hindu. Before Bangladesh, Burma,
Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, It was all part of India, Also called Bhārat. Then slowly it split
into smaller regions. Then different countries were created. * We try to make sure, May these regions be reunited again
and that they become Hindus again. * Our Prime Minister Modi, Also wish all India to unite, And that the whole world
recognize all areas, In which India excels. Faced with this ultra-nationalist drift, It's hard to be critical. And when we try to be,
this can end very badly. That's what happened to
the author of these photographs. His project, to wear heads
from cows to women, And tell that in India, A woman's life is worth less
than that of a cow. A way to denounce the drift
government sectarian, Symbolized by this sacralization of cows. The photos of Sujatro Ghosh are scandalous. He is invited to
TV sets to talk about it. Tell us, why these photos? I started this project in
reaction to the political context. I denounce what happens to the name
protection of cows. People who are lynched, who are killed. * And you don't fear attacks
nationalists and the extreme right? * No, I've never been afraid of these bands, Because I tell myself that what I'm doing is right. And when you do something right, You don't have to be afraid. * However, a few months later,
harassed, threatened with death, Sujatro Ghosh, must leave India. He now lives in Germany, in Berlin. We found him. Sujatro Ghosh is today
a political refugee. He lives in this little apartment,
away from his family back in Calcutta. Because of his photos, He is accused of carrying
an unpatriotic feeling. He has become a traitor. * I took it in Varanasi. It is the state where we
worship the cow the most. This place is truly iconic. A political center, the religious heart of Varanasi. * I want to tell that in my country, Cows are more important than women. Because you know, for example, that in India, There is a rape every 15 minutes
and almost no convictions. * Following this work, The threats have intensified, Until it becomes unlivable
for the young photographer. He now fears for the life of
his family and that of his friends. In Calcutta, there was a wave
of Hindu ideologues who changed everything. I grew up in this city. Before, it was not like that. I had friends from all walks of life. * Things started to
become more complicated, And there was a moment, where people started
follow me home. The reality changed from 2014, With the current leaders, And this Prime Minister who had already
was accused of allowing a pogrom to take place. * Today, artists have
fear of the government. The fear is that of ending
in a prison in the country, For an indefinite period. For a year, not a week has passed
without the announcement of an arrested person. Renowned activist or ordinary citizen. That's what happened
in this New Delhi family. Ani Babou, English teacher
at the faculty of New Delhi, Was incarcerated 6 months earlier. His wife and daughter have not seen him since. The academic is arrested after a conference. Ardent defender of human rights, He had been supporting for a few weeks
activists unjustly imprisoned, according to him. He is also a Muslim. And there, what is it? There he is taken to court. The secret services are taking him away. A friend of his filmed it. He is a lawyer. I can't believe this happened. Sometimes I wonder if this is real
the situation is so incomprehensible. * Indian secret service
search the family home, Under Jenny's eyes and
of his daughter Farzana, 15 years old. There were twenty
policemen in the house, And so that we don't contact
someone from outside, They confiscated our phones. When I wanted to go
the bathroom, they followed me. They took my phone
my daughter's, And they searched the whole house. They were filming the books on the shelves. They wanted to see what we were reading, We, a couple of academics, As if it were a crime to read books. They took his computer, They took documents concerning
another professor who had been arrested. My husband supported him on behalf
human rights. They took everything and took us
kept like that for 6 hours. And for 50 days they
remained without news, Until that first letter. My dearest Jenny and my little darling. After writing to you
hundreds of times in my head, Here I am finally able to
you write on a paper. I am in a cell
isolated with a toilet. I do not have the right to
get out of my cell. I'm fine and I'm sorry for you
put in this situation. * Do you want me to continue? But I know you're strong And together we will fight this injustice, It doesn't matter how long it takes. * It's really awful, They arrest anyone with
Baseless accusations without proof. It's awful! The government accuses the academic, Of terrorism, of Marxist conspiracy, And to have organized
riots six years earlier, In a town where he
never went though. Farzana had a depression. Jenny, also a teacher at the university, Abandoned his job
to take care of her daughter, And organize the defense of her husband. After six months of waiting, They finally had
permission to see it. This morning they are leaving for Bombay, In the south of the country, where he is imprisoned. We did some shopping. My daughter wanted to buy her a mask, To sleep, 'Cause they never turn off the
light in the cells. It's on 24 hours a day. They are never in the dark. They are going to take the train. The most economical solution. 16 hour journey. * They fight against a formidable weapon, An anti-terrorism law that allows the incarceration
anyone without a warrant. Is that train there? This law has become Modi's weapon, To silence the critics
and dissenting voices. There, they will also meet their lawyer. They still hope for an early outcome. A long journey awaits them. After a day and a night of travel, Jenny and Farzana arrive at their destination, in Bombay, The megalopolis of 20 million inhabitants. * Mom, we have arrived in Bombay. * In less than an hour, they
will be in front of the prison. I hope we will be able
see it together, both of them. Yes, I hope we will get there. Only one visit is allowed. They are two. Jenny gave priority to her daughter. They will do everything to
see it both. Activists and intellectuals
detained since 2017, were placed in this
prison near Bombay. Some are in solitary confinement Others in common cells, 50 prisoners on average per room, Mattresses on the floor. After 6 hours of waiting at the prison gates, Jenny was able to see her husband. We met him! And Farzana, his father. Both ? Yes, both. At first they only allowed one
only one of us to enter. But I insisted and told a
guardian that I was from Delhi. And I started crying. And finally, she accepted. We saw it and were able to talk, For a long time, at least 30 minutes. But no, only 5 minutes. He asked me how I was, And we just talked a little bit. And then my mother arrived, which was unexpected,
but it was so good. We were all 3 together! We finally got to see it after 6 months! They don't know when
they can see him again, And how long will he have to
still stay in this prison. It's with their lawyer
that they expect to have answers. The same evening, they have an appointment with him, At the other end of town. Hello. We managed to see it, yes. It's him, who came to see,
Master Hughes. He represents other families. All have seen one of their
relatives arrested suddenly, And imprisoned under
anti-terrorism law. Activists like
ordinary school teachers. Difficult to counter this formidable state weapon. He's not very optimistic. * The case of Babou and one of the examples, The most extreme I've seen so far. A false involvement in
a case of terrorism. I don't have the slightest doubt that
the case was totally fabricated. * It's a bogus case of terrorism, Who could have serious
consequences for the prisoner, But also about his family. * The anti-terrorism law allows
to keep people in jail. people who are not
in agreement with the government, And that the government chooses
therefore qualify as a terrorist. And you have many cases like this? Yes, a large number. Unfortunately, a very large number. Whether a politician,
of an activist or a teacher, It does not matter. Everyone can be affected. The government is systematically attacking To people who disagree with him. What is happening is unprecedented. I have never seen that ! And justice is also with Modi. * And do you have any hope that he will soon be free? No, unfortunately not. Why ? This is the nature of anti-terrorism legislation. You remain in prison for an indefinite time, Until the trial is over. This is the principle of this law. He will stay in prison for a long time, There is not much hope. How long do you think it is? Maybe 6 years, 8 years, 10 years... 14 years old maybe. The two women leave for Delhi,
exhausted and helpless. How far can madness go
nationalist of Hindu extremists? Even further, We went all the way to India, In a state that is leading, A unique experience in the world, in Assam, A rural and border state of Bangladesh, 2 million Indians have
had their nationality withdrawn. They have become stateless. Here, Modi's men have
achieved a tour de force, Legalized the process of excluding Muslims. It all started 3 years ago. The state launches a major census campaign. Residents must prove that they
arrived in India before 1971, Year in which millions of refugees
flow in from Bangladesh. In the midst of civil war. Officially, the goal is to fight
against illegal immigration. But everyone sees the will
Hindu nationalists, To attack religious minorities. It is at this time that the
Ajbar Ali's life has changed. Overnight it is declared
suspected illegal immigrant. I was born here, I am a son of this land. If I was a stranger I would have left this place
for a very long time. The farmer is summoned by the
police to present his papers. Like everyone else, he has to prove
that it happened before 1971. But illiterate, without a lawyer and lack of money, His file is incomplete. This is what I could find, My documents, an identity card, The title deed of my house,
my voter card. Everything is here. without being able to defend themselves, He is arrested one morning
at home and incarcerated. At the very moment when we were imprisoned, We have all become less than nothing. And me, what was my fault? Why have I been put behind bars? To make him free and
pay attorney's fees, His wife sells their land and livestock. But this is not enough, Ali remains in jail. After 2 years of waiting, riddled with debts
and now without income, His wife commits suicide. What happened to me took his life. She ended her life
during my incarceration. We had nothing. And the anguish ended up bringing it
to end his life. He was released after 2 years. He now lives with his son,
his daughter-in-law and grandchildren, With the fear of losing them at any moment, If he fails to restore his nationality, Because it is still considered
an illegal alien. He is not the only one. 1000 Indians have already been
imprisoned for this reason. And soon many more. The government has published a list, Almost 2 million people
stripped of their nationality, Are today likely to be
arrested and imprisoned at any time. Zaki Husseyn is a lawyer and a Muslim. His family has been in India for several generations. Some of his cousins and
uncles lost their citizenship. Revolted, he helps those
who have become, in effect, stateless persons. People have received negative reviews
for no valid reason. Some people have become stateless, And were incarcerated in a camp. * Others are still pending
of a judicial response. * Indians born on this land
and locked up in camps. This is the solution found
the government of Assam. I'm looking for the detention center. It's over there. 10 detention camps are
currently under construction. There, now, we will have to turn
right to go to the camps. One of them is almost complete. Zaki Husseyn, takes us there to
show us what the government has planned. Here it is, built in the middle of nowhere, Far from cities, far from sight. Unable to get authorization
to film and official information. So let's enjoy the day of
workers leave to enter. A foreman is present that day. Zaki Husseyn introduces himself as a lawyer, And the man will tell him what he knows. So this is a detention center? Do you know how many people are going to be here? I don't know the exact number. I think around 3000. And over there, in front, there will be the school. They are even building a school? Yes. A school for the children of prisoners. Important information for the lawyer, Which confirms his fears. These camps could accommodate
entire families, In prison conditions. The guardian shows him the halls
where inmates will sleep. I imagine we'll see the dorms. I assume there is no partition in the middle? No, no, I don't think so. These rooms can accommodate
how many people ? * About fifty, I think. My first impression after seeing this place, That's what I'm afraid of now. All the people who
could not defend themselves Even if they have the good ones
documents in their possession, This is where they will end. Locked here and there will be many of them. It will be mainly poor people, illiterates, people
in remote areas. Many people are affected. And only Muslims, 'Cause they can't be regularized
since the citizenship reform. How long do inmates
will they stay here? Years, according to the lawyer, Because Bangladesh does not want
welcome those who until now, Were Indians. Zaki Husseyn, especially fears one thing, Let what is happening here serve as an example
for the government of Narendra Modi, And end up applying nationwide. Starting with Uttar Pradesh, One of the poorest states in India,
also led by the BJP. Faced with the excesses of the government, Brave beings arise. Like Parvez, the young paramedic
witness to the New Delhi riots. At 26, he got involved in politics. With all that's going on, We the young people of India,
Hindus, Muslims, Young people from all communities
and of all denominations, We must come together to
protect our country and move it forward. Parvez campaigned in his home town, A district of 40,000 inhabitants
predominantly Muslim. He is the youngest candidate. He is not affiliated with any party
and defends pluralism, And the secularism of the Indian Constitution. I ask you to wholeheartedly support, And with enthusiasm our friend Parvez. If you support me
I will keep my promises. So far I haven't offered anything
on the basis of any discrimination. D-Day has arrived. In this region marked
by a strong illiteracy, Candidates are represented by symbols. Parvez chose the wooden sandal, In reference to the one worn by Gandhi. He attends the counting of each ballot. For wooden sandal list,
2200 votes. Yes, 2200 for the wooden sandal. Parvez has just been elected and he has
struggling to hide his emotion. Quite a symbol in a country still
largely dominated by the ultranationalist party. Despite the hold, despite
pressure, fanaticism, Lawyers, artists, opponents, Young people fight for democracy. Despite the risks, they are
more and more numerous, To call for disobedience and to mobilize.
