9
This house came to be built by Dr. Blake, who was in the East India Company service.
10
My grandfather came to be nominated to the body called the Council of State, which used to be a part of British India.
11
It was another time.
12
one that few still remember the india before partition when these rooms this house was part of the seat of power
13
i had the privilege of being born in this house upstairs
14
this was the maharaj's bed i mean his chambers at present
15
and it was the routine
16
that we'd all parade up into my grandfather's room to wish him good morning
17
and then we'd all come down for breakfast the walls tell
18
a story many stories they used to be a lot of animosity they were two very divided classes in india
19
so there was a lot of tension between the ruled and the rulers But that was a different time, you know.
20
Now I think back and it's more like a fairy tale.
21
Day one in northern India, near the Pakistan border.
22
This is Amritsar, the Indian Punjab's largest city.
23
Population, about a million.
24
This is a part of India I've never seen, a place I've always been curious about.
25
Home to some pretty legendary cuisine.
26
In Amritsar they have a say.
27
The best food isn't cooked in people's homes.
28
You find it on the streets.
29
Punjabis are known for their adventurous spirit as brave warriors who spread throughout the world bringing great food with them.
30
In fact, much of the good stuff we refer to simply as Indian food comes from here.
31
the punjab of the early 20th century saw some of the most violent resistance to british rule
32
and when the british finally cashed out in 1947 they carved off a huge piece what is now Pakistan.
33
And it remains a potential flashpoint for conflict.
34
But that's easy to forget when you first smell the food.
35
Good.
36
There we go.
37
Qasar da Daba.
38
Daba meaning side -of -the -road food stall.
39
And there are, like, countless Dabas to choose from in this town.
40
But this one is legendary.
41
Let's see Tony eat vegetables and like it.
42
You eat around this part of the world, Punjab in particular, get used to eating a lot of vegetarian.
43
Chickpeas, doug.
44
And India is one of the few places on earth where even for me, that's not a burden.
45
Ooh, what's that?
46
Oh, I'll take that.
47
Yeah, right here, my good man.
48
Mmm, that's good sod.
49
In the Punjab meat or no meat, you're almost guaranteed a free -for -all of intense colors, flavors, and spices.
50
Unlike some of the joyless vegetarian restaurants, in my sad experience, the vegetables here are actually spicy, all taste different, different textures,
51
and served with extraordinarily good bread.
52
It's got this multi -tiered crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle.
53
It's a whole different experience.
54
If this was what vegetarianism meant in most of the places
55
that practice it in the west i'd be at least half
56
as much less of a dick about the subject look hippie
57
if you made bread this good i might eat at your restaurant
58
Around here, one of the first things you notice that's different from the rest of India, turbans.
59
Everywhere.
60
The symbol of self -respect, bravery, and spirituality for Sikh men.
61
Amritsar is the home, the spiritual center of the Sikh faith, the world's fifth largest and maybe most misunderstood religion.
62
In the heart of Amritsar stands the majestic golden temple, the Sikh equivalent of the Vatican.
63
Sikhs are fundamentally against any caste system, believers in religious tolerance.
64
But they are just as fundamentally warlike when it comes to defending their principles and what they see as their territory.
65
Welcome to Golden Temple.
66
Thank you.
67
Today is a Guru Pura, one of the most auspicious days of the Sikh calendar.
68
Pilgrims from all over the world come to worship, walk the perimeter, and bathe in the holy pool.
69
All are welcome, of any faith or caste, to remove their shoes, wash their feet,
70
cover their heads, and take part in a simple meal.
71
This is the langar, a free vegetarian meal served to many thousands of visitors from every walk of life, every day of the year.
72
They serve 16 hours a day?
73
16 hours a day.
74
For how many years?
75
Continuously.
76
300 years?
77
300 years.
78
Everyone doing the cooking, the serving, the washing of thousands and thousands of metal plates and utensils, are volunteers.
79
The sound is extraordinary.
80
we have a teaching that everyone should serve all three things money mind
81
and body right should be served to other people free of cost
82
and that's what we do walking me through it all today don't want singh now for a religion that's
83
so concerned with tolerance where does the grand punjab military tradition come from, because it's a very, very powerful one.
84
So powerful people, so hard -working people.
85
Every Sikh you see, if he's baptized, he wears a small sword.
86
In our Prophet, when we get baptized, he says, you must protect yourself, you must protect others, and you must protect your country, so that makes us what we are.
87
Morning.
88
The smoke from countless burning fields covers Amritsar in a thick haze.
89
the ancient art of pilwani evolved from indian wrestling techniques that date back to the 5th century bc Ready, start.
90
Training is rigid, as this is not just a sport, but a way of life.
91
Wrestlers live and train together and have strict rules of diet and personal conduct.
92
No smoking, no drinking, no contact with women.
93
Here we go.
94
I took high school wrestling, actually, so that I could get out of gym class.
95
I was a dirty, dirty fighter.
96
it is an all too natural segue between the aggressive posturing of opposing bodies of
97
and this the entire border between india and pakistan has only one crossing
98
here at Wagam.
99
Every sunset, the border is officially closed with this bit of national theater.
100
Wearing nearly duplicate uniforms, the Indian military and Pakistani rangers partake in a game of theatrical contempt.
101
Clearly, it's a popular show. So, where are we?
102
We are right next to Pakistan.
103
India and Pakistan were once one country, ripped apart in one of the hastiest, ill -considered partitions imaginable.
104
Beyond there, no more fence?
105
No more fences.
106
So, once you get past there, you can go straight into Pakistan if you want.
107
See, the problem is, the thing is, India is trying to stop people from coming in.
108
The infiltrators, you know, drug dealers and treasurers.
109
Uday is working on a documentary about the India -Pakistan border.
110
No one wants to go into Pakistan.
111
No one wants to go into Pakistan.
112
No one wants to, in their right mind, wants to go into Pakistan.
113
Well, really?
114
That's a fairly decisive statement.
115
So they put up the fence, but the fence is on the Indian side.
116
Yeah, it's 150 meters from the border.
117
Right, so beyond that fence, still Indian farmland.
118
Yes.
119
So people who live over here can farm over there.
120
Can farm over there.
121
The Punjab is a fertile region in an otherwise very dry country.
122
This is India's bread basket.
123
With over a billion people currently residing in India, every inch of fertile Punjabi soil has great value.
124
These are people who owned land over there.
125
Yes.
126
Then they put the fence.
127
Yes.
128
Suddenly your life became difficult.
129
Exactly.
130
They are restricted by many things.
131
They can only grow some kind of crops, and they can't farm more than eight hours in a day.
132
How long does it take to get back and forth?
133
The border security force mans these gates, so they have times, you know, when they can enter and come out.
134
How much farther can we go before they start to get worried?
135
Yeah, I think we can just go to the pole.
136
When India and Pakistan were separated, the attempt was to try to draw a line across religious lines.
137
Exactly.
138
Drained by the colossal task of fighting two world wars, in 1947, Great Britain decided to end their nearly 200 -year rule over India.
139
In an attempt to prevent what the colonials saw as an inevitable civil war between Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs, the British commissioned Sir Cyril Radcliffe,
140
a lawyer from Wales, to draw up a new border.
141
He was given two months, you know.
142
Two months to divide.
143
Two months to divide.
144
Create a new country, basically.
145
So he took the map and just did a line.
146
You know, people died because of the displacement.
147
Unofficially, they say it's two million people.
148
You know, when Jains fight, the minos get trampled upon.
149
In one of the largest exchanges of populations in history, many millions of people fled their homes.
150
Almost immediately, religious violence broke out on a mass scale.
151
This is exactly what the partition had been intended to avoid.
152
Do people here still have families over there?
153
Yeah, they do.
154
When the line was drawn, there were villages which were split into halves.
155
There are some houses where you enter from India and you exit from Pakistan.
156
Really?
157
Yes.
158
Wow.
159
This part of Punjab and that part of Punjab, they're one state.
160
So the culture, the eating habits, it was very similar.
161
Well, that's a popular metaphor for India.
162
Pakistan is twins separated at birth.
163
They were never twins.
164
I mean, it was one country.
165
You can say dismembered.
166
If you cut a body in two, they're not going to become twins.
167
Right.
168
it's sad you know you you can see them i mean they're doing the same work as you're doing
169
they dress the same they look the same
170
but then you can't talk to them it is an ongoing
171
struggle an enduring cause of paranoia visible all across the region two nations with atomic arsenals who have showed if nothing else,
172
a terrifying willingness to use them.
173
From the horrific 2006 train bombings to the militant attacks in Mumbai.
174
The threat of terrorism along this border is a daily concern.
175
want something good really really good
176
when an amretzer something local regional iconically wonderful you can't say
177
you've had the amretzer experience until you've had a little culture
178
in your life kocha this is the iconic dish of punjab yes that's the speciality here
179
kocha a perfect little flavor bomb of wheat dough pressed against
180
the side of a very very hot clay oven slathered with butter
181
and served with a spicy chole a chickpea curry on the side did i mention the butter
182
delicious everyone in amritzer seems to be an expert on culture
183
including this lady navroop very very very good generally speaking Punjabis are famous for being a warrior class.
184
Taller?
185
Bigger?
186
Yes, they're big.
187
Still, maybe not fighters so much, but still eaters.
188
Oh, yeah.
189
Big time, yes.
190
The religion doesn't matter.
191
Food is religion here.
192
Checking off my list of things to do in the Punjab, I got to score some animal protein.
193
It's time.
194
I've been going all Morrissey for like two days now, and frankly, that's enough.
195
I need chicken.
196
Like, we are in the ass, end of nowhere here.
197
Where am I?
198
It's known as veera chicken.
199
It's very famous for chicken.
200
When we're talking must -haves, tandoori chicken is just that.
201
Add some lemon in this.
202
You'll enjoy it.
203
Oh, man, it's delicious.
204
This type of establishment, dhaba?
205
Dhaba.
206
It's called dhaba.
207
You know, this is the most successful business here.
208
Anybody, you open a dava tomorrow, it will be a success.
209
But if you're going to do chicken, you better be good.
210
Yeah, it's a good place for that.
211
Would you like to have something else?
212
There's like a roti with a ground mutton or a ground...
213
That's called naan.
214
That's butter naan.
215
Kima naan.
216
Mutton ball, dough.
217
And the special ingredients, magic hands.
218
and believe me when i tell you this shit is good
219
so good that people snap it up the second it comes out of the tandoor up hey that's mine
220
is it good it's sensational wow people do love their food definitely i love eating
221
The movies and television in this country is fantastic.
222
Thousands of films are made per year.
223
I don't even understand why, what's going on.
224
I mean, everybody dances and sings.
225
I don't get it.
226
Would you like to have something else?
227
Oh, this is good.
228
Mmm.
229
Mmm.
230
Oh, yeah.
231
Mmm.
232
Wow.
233
Oh, yeah.
234
La cevabah.
235
Mmm, that's good.
236
Thank you.
237
No, nothing.
238
Thank you.
239
It's delicious. So good.
240
Leaving the fertile plains of the Punjab behind, I'm headed out towards the Himalayas.
241
And getting here, at least the way I'm going, hasn't changed much in the last hundred years.
242
All aboard.
243
Oh, this is going to be suboptimal seating.
244
Yeah, I don't think this reclines.
245
Thank God they have relaxed attitudes towards prescription drugs.
246
Before you enter the gateway to the Himalayas, you better self -medicate.
247
Meanwhile, I've been like 24 hours without a bite of food.
248
I arrive, it's like, oh, well, there's snacks on the way.
249
Great.
250
Get a bag of peanuts.
251
Truth be told, I'm an angry, bitter man when I board.
252
I'm guessing there ain't a Shonies or a P .F.
253
Chang on the way.
254
It's kind of cute.
255
A little train.
256
It's so little.
257
It's the Universal Tours.
258
I'm going to King Kong ride.
259
While my stomach growls, I become the kind of traveller I warn against.
260
gripey, self -absorbed, immune to my surroundings.
261
But as my brightly colored little train heads up into the hills from Kalka Station, known as the gateway to the Himalayas, my worldview starts to improve.
262
The unnaturally bright colors of India start to pleasurably saturate my brain.
263
The views from the window of ridiculously deep valleys, hundred -year -old bridges.
264
It's well...
265
Breathtaking.
266
My fellow passengers, too, are irresistibly charming.
267
The school kids in their uniforms cheer in unison every time we pass through one of the tunnels.
268
I'd pretty much forgotten about my hunger until the whistles stopped at Barog.
269
One of those and two of these.
270
This place is named for a Colonel Barog, the British engineer tasked with building the line up to Shimla.
271
Thank you.
272
The station and the adjacent tunnel bearing his name are rumored to be haunted.
273
It's delicious.
274
Already behind schedule and plagued by cost overruns, Barogh screwed up.
275
When he realized the two ends of this tunnel didn't meet in the middle, he shot himself.
276
It's the kind of personal accountability I'd like to see more of, frankly.
277
Or is that just me?
278
But all my snarkiness fades as I reflect, and one can't help but reflect, on what it took to dig, drag, blast, and tunnel one's way up this route back in the day.
279
Back in the beginning, making the trip to Shimla required a somewhat uncomfortable three -day trek up the mountain by foot, or horse, or hand -carried palanquin.
280
The stats are impressive.
281
The climb of around 5 ,000 feet.
282
Over 100 tunnels.
283
More than 800 bridges.
284
An engineering feat, a job that when you consider the time, defies imagining.
285
In the building of this railroad, many died.
286
Many, many died.
287
When you look at that painting When you stand out front in the garden and look out at the view,
288
can you picture the way it was?
289
I've been to many places where it reminded me of what similar it had been
290
when the British first came and settled there.
291
I have a penchant for such places.
292
it is a kind of a throb
293
that i feel fond memories of british rule maybe not what you'd expect to hear
294
but kawaratinjit singh that's reggie for short his family was different
295
indian royalty with palaces the one percent of the one percent
296
so life for reggie as a young boy was relative to the millions and millions of others his age, enchanted.
297
Shimla is from a time before partition, when nearly the entire ruling class of British India would move to hill stations in the hotter months.
298
Shimla was once known as the queen of all hill stations.
299
Here the colonials created England in miniature,
300
complete with Tudor architecture, rose gardens, afternoon tea.
301
My grandfather.
302
It's very difficult to describe what did he do.
303
Well, quite frankly, he did nothing.
304
But he entertained hugely.
305
Garden parties, fancy dress balls, elephant hunts.
306
The remnants of British rule can still be seen and felt.
307
This is particularly true of one house, Chapsley.
308
The house was purchased by Reggie's grandfather, the last Maharaja of Kapoorthala.
309
Those Brits really left beautiful buildings.
310
From a distance, it looks much the same as it must have when the Maharaja slept here.
311
Check out the tub.
312
Locked in a constant battle against time and nature, barbed wire does little to keep Shimla's ever -encroaching monkey population at bay.
313
Stripped of their wealth and their kingdoms, the one -time royals all across India have had to either sell their estates or,
314
like Reggie, turn them into hotels and guest houses in order to hold on.
315
Ring a buzzer, and a servant appears.
316
Then they bring hot water bottles at night, put them under the covers.
317
Butters keep popping in, build a nice fire.
318
Man.
319
A great facet of my childhood was how my grandfather entertained.
320
His table came to be known as perhaps the most famous in northern India because he was a gourmet connoisseur of food.
321
Tonight, dinner at Chapsley, an elaborate Anglo -Indian menu from Reggie's childhood.
322
I'll put on my apron first.
323
My fellow guests, two of Reggie's friends, Raja Basin, a historian on the subject of Shimla, and Rakesh Varlalsud, the barrister.
324
There's so much history here.
325
I mean, while I take a dim view of colonialization, it's very hard to resist the charms of a house like this.
326
That's quite understandable, actually.
327
You've got 100 years of very, very intense history funneled into a very small place
328
and this house used to house the secretary of state to the crowd what am i eating this is eggs of florentine
329
oh that's good this was a small town a small town
330
with a very very big government Simla enjoys the unique distinction of having been the summer capital of India and,
331
surprisingly, it was the capital of Burma during the war days.
332
So here you have this tiny little village up on the
333
hill connected to the rest of the world by a narrow mountain path
334
and they rule approximately a fifth of the human race for eight months every year.
335
In today's context, it would almost seem bizarre.
336
Mulgatani soup, classic example of what we think of as Indian food in the West, but not at all.
337
This was originally a soup made by Indian chefs to accommodate British tastes, is that correct?
338
It was something what you would call halfway between a regular dal, a lentil, which you would eat, and a broth.
339
Glassy chops.
340
Mutton, glassy chops.
341
Basically meat cooked in its own fat, and it would have a lot of curry on it.
342
It's a misnomer, this meat is not actually mutton, it's a chevron.
343
Here, back before the rail line, it would be a difficult trip.
344
Yes.
345
But once they were up and running, I mean there were many servants to look after your every
346
need you had a fireplace a hearth in every room
347
and people on the regular payrolls whose only job was to
348
shoo monkeys off the grounds wow you would be carried around in palanquins little box in
349
which you sat in a curtained box this man would go stamping his staff in the ground
350
and the bells would jingle and the common folk would give way
351
and normally they were not even supposed to look in the
352
direction it was bad manners right it wasn't easy for the people who built the town it was india
353
that paid the bill for all this grandeur for all this
354
pump for all the show they did it at our expense and with our money
355
at the end of the meal there's coffee brandy and cigars in the sitting room as one does or once did
356
I hope you enjoyed the dinner too.
357
Oh, very much.
358
It was delicious.
359
Really wonderful.
360
Lot of history in this house.
361
And one can be forgiven for maybe briefly forgetting what it took to build this lost kingdom.
362
And how much the world has changed around it.
363
The monkey temple looks down on Shimla, overrun by its namesakes.
364
Twisting up further into the Himalayas, I find myself at a place known as the Land of the Gods, nearly every village credited with having its own deity.
365
Getting there, you might well have an opportunity to meet one of those deities as you tear around narrow,
366
guardrail -free mountain roads overlooking terrifying drop -offs.
367
I could do heights, like, you know, I've done the jumping out of planes thing a number of times.
368
But I feel it, you know, like, looking over a precipice like that one, I feel it on my knees.
369
You know, like, if my knees could vomit with terror, they would be.
370
They'd be vomiting with terror right now.
371
They should have little underwear stops on this road, you know, where you could, like, get a fresh pair.
372
Every couple of miles, it's like, ooh, that was scary.
373
Overloaded buses, water trucks with worn brake pads, aggressive truck drivers can come wailing around the corner at any time.
374
And they do, about every two minutes.
375
Squeeze your cheeks tight and close your eyes.
376
Oh, the enchantment of India.
377
The remote locations of these isolated mountain villages has kept old traditions alive.
378
Village fairs serve as an opportunity for families who live very far apart to get together,
379
play games, eat, and partake in religious rites honoring local deities.
380
Quite a ride getting here.
381
Yeah.
382
How do you enjoy that road?
383
White knuckles.
384
Meet Hashim.
385
He runs motorcycle tours through these parts.
386
The Himalayas is the holy grail of motorcycling.
387
You're traveling almost 1 ,500 kilometers on a trip.
388
It's so unbelievably beautiful and diverse.
389
So what do we got here, vegetable curry?
390
Yogurt -based curry, quite typical in these parts.
391

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
