Samdish Goes International? | Akhand Bharat Ek Khoj

In this episode of Bharat Ek Khoj, we decided to cross borders......of Bihar to visit a village best known for its name - Pakistan Tola in Srinagar block of Purnea. Amusing to some and embarrassing to others, we decided to speak about the name with the residents of this village to understand more about their lives. Burdened by poverty, poor living conditions, and limited access to education and healthcare, the villagers have resigned themselves to a life without the hope of help from either the state or the media. Now they're just waiting for one thing, their village name to be changed.

Some animals were harmed during the making of this video, but hey, that wasn’t our idea. We just happened to be there.

Watch this journey to India's Pakistan ahead of the upcoming state elections of Bihar.
