Seeing the pathetic situation in Uttarakhand and the Indian political system, urge to settle abroad is increasing day by day.

Seeing sad state of politics in india and our state, day by day urge to move abroad increasing. Thing is as someone from middle class family, we pay tax, with our tax politicians corrupt people fill their pocket. We don't get anything. Nothing which make us proud to being indian.

After seeing Uttarakhand and Uttarakhand politics issues in recent years, we see nothing changing. Situation only becoming worse.

Anyone you choose in power is corrupt thing is in india people only join politics, bureaucracy for corruption.

They take your votes in name of ideology religion at end of day end goal is money. We common people are just viewers who pay for this circus.

Seeing Uttarakhand, selfish society and where this state, country going and i think it is waste of time to involve in this issues.

Best thing is ignorance. Stop caring about these things. Focus on yourself and move out of country. We got only one life. We deserve better.

Kanwar Yatra and it's negative impact in Uttarakhand.

Each year kanwar yatra bring many uneducated man from Up Haryana or nearby places. They bring Big DJs. Bikes without silencer without helmet no law apply to them. throw garbage everywhere . Don't follow traffic rules. Do crimes in Uttarakhand. Eve tease girls.

Nothing religious in this.

Also how you allowing these big DJS in himalyan state. Music in these Djs will be some cheap bollywood bhojpuri type music remixed with god name. Loud and non melodious.

In rishikesh, for few days it is insanity. Kanwar Yatra and neelkanth Mahadev visitors make Rishikesh inlivable. Woman can't move freely in roads. Ganga also in Haridwar so why they are in Rishikesh. Many foreigners come for yoga imagine what they think seeing this insanity.

These kanwariya now coming to our hilly regions also. Reaching devprayag and above. This is unacceptable. They don't belong here. These people totally negative for our hills.

Govt need to fix route place for these kanwariya. Stop allowing kanwariya above Haridwar. Ganga flow in UP also. So why UP people coming here.

Kanwar yatra is not culture of Uttarakhand. Same apply to ganesh visrajan where god murti are put in our rivers. Also this culture of throwing sarees in gangotri.

Stop imposing other state culture in our himalayas state.

Govt should stop making our home and our temples just religious tourist places for outsiders. In recent years seeing so many locals temples getting more influx of other state people. Then tourist fications of these places start. After few years you only see garbage , destruction everywhere. Neelkanth mahadev temple was not famous till 1980s. Then suddenly it become popular. Same thing happening with many temples for example tungnath.

In our Uttarakhand, we see these crime minded people coming from UP Haryana Delhi ncr bihar punjab in name of religious tourism and then we see uncivilised tourists coming to do parties, roaming in their thars. Everyday new hotels resorts popping out. Everyday u see unfamiliar faces everywhere. Land being sold in large no.

Their is no peace left. Locals can't even live in peace. All months are same.

Is uttarakhand for local residents or tourists outsiders ? Uttarakhand government should stop appeasing these people. They are accountable towards local people not outsiders tourists. We locals need to raise our voice against this. This is not religion this is not our culture in Uttarakhand. Stop making our home dumping ground for these uncivilised outsiders.

This youtuber from rajasthan literally bought whole mountain in lohaghat, champawat. Now selling plots. But according to dhami govt, non pahadi can't buy more than 250sq m.

​

Dhami and BJP Uttarakhand Govt bought so called land law in 2025, they put cap of 250 sq m for outsiders but on ground situation is totally different. Outsiders buying whole mountains. Doing plotting and selling land to outsiders. Earlier few districts was seeing this, now less popular districts, towns also seeing non locals influx.

In this particular case, this guy from rajasthan literally bought whole mountains, plot area so big it is like whole village. even locals will not have this much land.

So plan of this guy to make community here made by non locals from delhi rajasthan. He calling all nearby area his own because it is forest no one come here. Most cases they openly encroach land seeing forest where normal local pahadi hesitate fearing govt.

In his some videos, his views about locals not good posting liking comments against pahadis. This is common case with all these people coming from outside they don't respect local culture and people.

Dhami govt so corrupt their babu so corrupt they allowing this to happen. They buy these land from some poor pahadi. Who is uneducated.

Same thing happened with tharu people in uddham singh nagar. They were poor, simple , uneducated their land was completely sold and now they don't have much land while others have acres of land. In uddham singh nagar some pubjabi have 1000 acres land thanks to Govind ballabh Pant.

It is state govt duty to make sure laws are followed. Culture demography of state maintained. You can't let poor uneducated person decide fate of community.

Why lease system not implemented like other mountain states this way you can intact land demography of state and local can make money without allowing complete demography change.

Uttarakhand going in dark future. We are governed by corrupt people.

WHY TAPOVAN POLICE DON'T STOP THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE IN THIS AREA.

These people are not local. They making this place unsafe. They making bad impression of rishikesh. You can't allow anyone in name of business. Uneducated Sketchy people coming in name of business from outside. This apply to other business like in religion spritual yoga etc nieche who scam people.

Also many uneducated fake babas in tapovan who only do drugs ganja in bank of river. Approach foreigners become great scholar in front of them , scam them.

Please make Rishikesh safe place. It is yoga capital of world. Many students come here. Many come only once here in india only because of yoga and then they go with such memories impression about india.

We use to be proud of our himalayan states because of hygiene nature low crimes rate but influx of such crowd it becoming another delhi full of scammer and harasser.

Anyone who also observe this in tapovan rishikesh. Share your experiences.

The recent dehradun bridge which collapsed made by BJP Politician husband company

In social media we waste our energy fighting for pahadi society culture land but this is what our chosen leader do.

Such pahadis in our society is reason of every problem we facing no need to blame outsider.

They use religion in front to do corruption. they use children of common man for their religious politics make them gau rakshak , talk about LJ while their children themselves eat beef and have relation with M, pakistani.

16crs bridge collapsed in 16days. Someone could have loose their life. Earlier we use to listen these news from bihar now in Uttarakhand it is common. Imagine how much they actually used in making this bridge.

keep giving your tax to corrupt govt. you hard earned money going in pocket of these politicians. Their children study in foreign colleges.

anyone who get chance to leave country please leave. politics will not change. our pahadi society will eaten by these parasites within us. we have no power to change anything. just ensure your hard earned money don't go in pocket of these politicians.

is this what we should be proud of. pahadi who join army need to see state which they defending. no one care about sacrifice of these soldiers, just photo op for these politicians for votes.

Caste system in Pahadi Society need to abolished. Our identity should be pahadi not Brahmin, Kshatriya, Dalit.

I never understood pro caste people in our himalayan states. We adopted caste system in our mountains few centuries back when it come from plains and local kings forced into natives. In religious books, majority himalayan state population seen as inferior groups. They don't see us pure brahmins, kshtriya. Called with word like malecha.

Many adopted surnames of plains. Culture festivals all borrowed. Caste system from plains made into society where shilpkars put into shudra category and caste based discrimination started.

Most we are in himalayan states share same similar ancestry. Even dalits of mountains. So, promote pahadi culture not caste. Present day Dalits of himalayas states are same like present day brahmins, thakurs. Their is no difference. We all look same. Our language culture same.

Be pro pahadi not pro brahmin, kshtriya etc.

  • Because this is very controversial topic. I think i have to disclose, I am from UC category. My politics is himalayan progressive regionalism. No i am not commie any jnu type. This is my personal opinion. You can disagree.
    I expect respectful discussion.

Remember this lady Manvi anusha who got famous in recent protest, check kind of words she using for pahadis and workers

So this lady manvi anusha / maana recently got famous because of recent protest to save trees.

She used vile words for pahadis in this video.

She is from delhi. Made her house in Uttarakhand hills and her view about natives totally racist. She run ashram in rishikesh and making money in name of religion. Their are so many like this living in our state. They see local hill people as inferior class.

This is Dhoni ancestral village house in Lwali

This is condition of ancestral house of Dhoni in lawali almora. Dhoni ancestral village still lack basic facilities like roads , schools, hospitals. Migration is rampant.

Dhoni net worth is more than 1200crs+ according to google. It require only few lakhs to renovate his old house. Which will be less than 0.01% of his networth.

He is very much capable to build roads, build good school, help his village people to get employment or create business opportunities for village people. I am not talking about whole uttarakhand, just for his village. Even if just talk to CM, Good roads can be made.

But seeing condition of his ancestral house, it looks he don't care. Their is no sense of responsibility towards his ancestral land and people.

No offense to Dehradun Residents who protesting against tree cutting, but why you on roads only this time ?

​

No offense to Dehradun Residents but i hardly see dehradun residents voicing for issues faced by hill residents.

Uttarakhand is not just dehradun.

This cutting of trees happening in other parts for long making these wide roads in sensitive himalayas, digging tunnels, spending thousands crores in infra for tourists on other hand local hill residents die due to lack of hospitals and roads in their village.

We expect same type of protest from dehradun Residents because most politicians live in dehradun. Our capital in dehradun. You have absolute power to take stand for your less privileged pahadi community in hills who suffering. We lack strength now in hills, hardly any media to cover issues faced by locals. Thats why pahadi community in hills expect support from dehradun Residents.

Our issues never become national news but dehradun problems highlighted in national media on same day. Every month their are so many pregnant woman deaths in hills because their is no hospitals doctors, their village still not have roads. But no one in dehradun say one word. People ignore hills residents like they don't exist.

Most pahadis now live in dehradun but no one come forward. Pahadi community in dehradun use pahadi identity just for aesthetics, making reels.

You using terms like black harela, using chipko Angolan as example which started by hill woman in 1970s.

It is good but I feel it is very classiest behaviour.

You live in you ac houses, use cars, made big houses made by cutting trees forests. Never raise voice for pahadi living in hills because it doesn't affected you , but yeah let's use our pahadi struggle movements festivals icons to protest.

Situation is this worst because you always remain silent because you are not who facing problems before. Dehradun Residents specially pahadi community in dehradun need reflection, please think about your pahadi community in hills , come on roads to support them.

UKD need strong leader in Kumaon like Ashish Negi

UKD need strong kumani leader also just like Ashish Negi. Kumaon problems need to be highlighted.

Politically kumaon region is very less active. We lack good leaders. Most are in lap of bjp and congress. We need strong presence of regional leaders here.

Kumaon is in very strictly need of land laws here.

Nainital, pangot, bhimtal, bhowali, mukteshwar, ramgarh, binsar, ranikhet, almora highly facing burnt of land mafias. So much land is sold. Up bihar harayana punjab delhi ncr bengal and literally everyone bought land here. Making second homes. Their is some regions hill towns where native population is very less , so land mafias more active. Locals villages many time away from main roads. So main roads land sold.

Also roads in these areas are extremely good compared to other regions because of bureaucrats ex army people politicians who has bunglows here.

This happening because of haldwani is near. Native population migrated, lack strength, so no one here care. Land laws definitely not followed here which already very weak.

Kumaon culture diminishing. Our kumaon population not much politically active to safeguard their rights compare to garhwal. No one seeing what will happen, how these places will look after 50 years.

Himachal is very lucky they got good leaders to protect their land. In future , situation will gonna worse because of social media and pollution in plains. We need very strict land laws to safeguard our hills from land mafias, mass migration from plains. Everyone want to make second homes here because they can't do in himachal due to land laws, kumaon is more green, close to delhi ncr, and india got huge population.

We need strict laws. Purchase of land by non pahadis stricty need to banned even not cap of 2700sq which highly misused And few even under business venture buy lot of land. Also if you are rich and strong connections then every law can be molded.

Laws to stop purchase of land by non pahadis in hills, only lease should be allowed. Not permanent sale of land. Only way to protect hills from mindless development and to safeguard peace nature culture of this region.

If such laws can applied in himachal so Uttarakhand can also. All kumaonis who migrated from these regions should atleast make homestays build business Renovate their houses. Support locals who still in hills.

Pahadis strictly need to think about their choices. Instead of wasting their money on purchasing highly inflated properties in polluted delhi ncr, they should invest their money in hills if they are capable to buy.

The amount of land selling ads i am seeing in insta, youtube is too much.

Another late night rant.

So, meta and google reading my browsing history and showing me these ads on YouTube, Insta. Getting many ads of land brokers selling land in Nainital mukteshwar, almora Ranikhet region. Seen many homestay ads also who almost all run by outsiders. Saw this one ad.

Govt say u can only buy small land around 2700 sq ft but the size of their property is like 5x times. No one is there to enforce laws. Also road condition is new. Looks they constructed road recently. Almost Whole village already migrated but govt officials yeah now make roads.

If you compare house size architecture materials used, it completely shows huge income inequality among village people and these outsiders.

In one side, villagers just surviving and other side someone enjoying in his second home, airbnb where they invite their guests and charge 5000+ one night.

I feel like ranting, may be some jealousy. atlast money matter most. You just need money you can buy anything. Can do anything. Laws can be molded as per your needs.

Homestays should be way to uplift communities in hills to give them employment but instead it giving employment to non locals.

They introduced homestay scheme but how village person who has not much finance capital can make good homestay to attract tourists. Most times this Homestay scheme used by outsiders who well aware about this scheme.

Seeing heat wave, pollution this number will be 100x times in few years. Every rich person in north india will want to make their second home in hills.

Their is systematic campaign going on Israeli tourists where non-locals speaking on behalf of local hinachalis saying Israeli taking over himachal.

So, i am seeing so many posts against isreali tourists in himachal pradesh and Uttarakhand in recent time. A systematic campaign going on by pro Palestinian groups, left influencers, media. Where they claim themselves as local himachali, saying isrealis are problem. So they need to banned. Like isrealis creating no go zone for indians. Gonna encroach land.

Any local from himachal, Uttarakhand know who create most problems in our hill states it definitely not foreigners or Israelis. We know who do most crimes here it definitely not foreigners. We know who pollute our rivers , mountains, harass local woman , do reckless driving in mountains it definitely not foreigners.

Basically these pro palestine left groups want local pahadis to boycott Israelis.

Their is serious security concerns. Any bad thing can happen in future. They can target these isrealis in himchal, Uttarakhand. They can do terrorist attack.

Our peaceful states can become next kashmir. Locals also will suffer. Indian Govt and local govt need to put checking points in our borders, to identify weapon carrying elements. They need to ensure safety of our states and our people.

  • Also, i want to know what other himachali think about isrealis and this issue. source I think this reddit community has large number of non-himchali that's why so many down votes. They speaking on behalf of local himachali on social media. Saw many posts in himachal and other indian subs.

  • If you are himachali, if you have problem with isrealis tell reason ? Do isrealis encroached land near you ? Do some cafe near you who don't allow locals ? Have u seen isrealis misbehaving with locals ?

Big respect for Rung community who opposed installation of statue in om parvat by tourists from UP Bihar rajasthan Gujrat

Rung community opposed installation of statues in om parvat. Big respect for them to save their local culture. This trust made by non natives. They already installed statue in adi kailash route which got unnoticed.

As Rung community leader said first they put statue, then donation box , then temple , then whole business start in name of religion. Why put these statue there when you have big mountain which get worshipped.

Non-natives coming from plains, and doing this in our mountains. Imposing their culture here and calling natives anti-hindu for opposing them.

Again kudos to Rung community. Hope they always take this stand. This is start, in future they will have to face such things day by day when om parvat, Adi Kailash get more popular. Their are so many religious vultures.

Non - natives Hindus need to understand every place has their distinct culture. You should respect it. Don't try to impose your culture everywhere. You can practice your culture in your place and let natives of land practice their culture.

Wish mountain communities take stand in saving their culture, mountains. We seeing how traditions, culture of these famous temples who visited by lakhs of tourists changing day by day.

This type of ego come when they know they can't loose elections. They know they can do anything say anything, nothing will happen.

BJP MLA Dilip Rawat on legendary freedom fighter Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali: "He was brainless. He led a revolution when he had no brains." Then mocked statehood activists. He further added, "Those protesting now weren't even an egg cell during the Uttarakhand movement.

Their is serious problem regarding medical facilities in Uttarakhand hills which justify migration

Every month we see many pragent woman die in hills due to lack of medical facilities. Hospitals in hills are only for rafer refer game. They feel like only first aid facilities.

This is 2026, still every year their are so many young pragent woman deaths. Nothing change.

We get distracted on different issues but real problems of hills is still poor medical facilities and poor road infrastructure.

Big question need to ask where our public funds going. Where lakhs of donations in our hills temples Kedarnath Badrinath going.

They making wide roads, trains for char dham but still their are lack of roads to villages. Village people still have to carry patients in their back.

Conditions of mountains still poor. Most natives who were economically sound are now migrated and you can't blame them. Only poor remain in hills.

Pushkar Dhami promoting local devi devta temples as tourists spots

Uttarakhand government promoting these less known local devi devta temples as tourist spots. Trying to make them mainstream. They doing it in whole state. And it is very concerning.

Outsiders only see these temples as points for trekking. They don't relate with local culture, devi devta. Most come for fun.

After few years, sanctity of these local temples will destroyed. Reels influencers get new hidden spot. Local traditions will replaced with plains traditions. Control of temples will go to people who don't relate to temple. Thousands lakhs will come. Whole place will be polluted.

They doing it one by one to each local temples to make more money. It feel like opening new amusement park where they don't need to spent money. In hills , their are so many devi devta temples with good view, so they will keep opening. Picnic spots for india crores of uncivilised population.

Insta and Pahadi Community

Pahadi creators on insta just embarrassing. Pure cheap slop. Just looking for eyeballs cheap attention.

Earlier I use to use Pahadi tag in bio in insta then stopped seeing this type of content from community. Don't want to associate with this crowd.

For attention, views, followers Pahadi girls making all type content. They don't care if someone objectify them because they themselves objectify themselves.

Literally every one here influencer. Our pahadi community has largest no of influencers. Good genes is one of reason because in indian society, man love fair skin, which is reason we see large no of pahadi influencers.

Everyone want attention in cheap way. Dancing , making such cheap slop content. Comment section full of objectification. All almost make same type of content. Dancing, making content weird trends objectifying themselves.

Many of these influencers do not make much money. When u see an influencer with 50k+ 100k+ followers on insta. If their nicehe and content is like this they not making much money. They can get few brands deals but it is not enough to sustain their life. Unless they try to make money with subscriptions, apps by making vulgar cheap content.

They all do just for dopamine and attention. They don't understand they can make good money if they make content in good niech. . Even in fashion nieche they can make content better way get more brand deals. Make good money. But no, these creators are dumb.

If they want attention, want to use their face. they could have used their pretty face to make educative content on tech, finance, entrepreneurship, education teaching etc they would make lot of money instead of dancing and making such cheap content where they get bad objectifying comments.

But for that you need little brain. Or willingness to value themselves. Little self respect.

Their is huge business opportunity for people in marketing field. Use these Pahadi influencers build marketing agency or media company, use their brain time in positive direction. Not making cheap content.

On Instagram or social media, pretty face win.

Their are few pahadi creator who make content on tech finance science education and they doing very good. Living good life and making good money. I wish these Insta influencers start to value themselves.

You have face u can speak on camera. U know how to make content. Why not use it in better respectful way.

Future belongs to creators. Content creation can become first career choice if these people start to understand it's real power. What they can achieve. Instead of chasing cheap attention.
