India's Sand Mafia: The Dark Secrets of India's Booming Construction Industry

Рет қаралды 870,257

India's building boom has spawned an illegal trade in sand. Plundering the environment and even killing those who get in its way, the "sand mafia" has spread its influence throughout India. Subscribe to Journeyman here: kzfaq.info_c...
Sand is the key to the construction industry, but there is no legal supply to meet the increasing demand. Accordingly, criminal gangs are ravaging riverbeds and beaches. Sumaira Abdulali recounts the damage done to her local beach: "the whole level of sand has dropped by about 10 feet ... They’ve really destroyed it". When she tried to report the perpetrators, she was met with fierce resistance. "They bashed up the car, broke everything. They hit all of us. They broke my teeth." Sumaira now campaigns to expose this black-market trade, which harms many living near sand supplies. Brijmohan Yadav, like many farmers in his region, had his plot devastated by illegal sand mining. However, his complaints were ignored: "the mafia is so influential. They have police and local authorities on their side". Brijmohan began to fight for his land, but ended up fighting for his life. "These people kidnapped me and took me to an isolated place. They beat me up and threatened to kill me if I did not stop all this." Whilst there is an almost blanket ban on unlicensed mining across India, in remote, rural areas it continues unabated.

I have personally seens sand mining happening in Rajasthan, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Karnataka and Telangana. This actually reminds me of that famous dialoge which our politicians use quite often, "desh ki mitti se pyar"

Just watching this for 5 minutes gave me a bunch of solutions for this problem. Most of the sand used in construction is used in big projects undertaken by big construction companies. The government can VERY EASILY ban the use of sand supplied by unapproved sources. Using this can get your license revoked and any unapproved construction by such a company can be stopped. The government can also start seizing all this sand with a specialized armed force. A small investment in this direction will help save the environment and all that. But the reason why they don't do this is because the government is INVOLVED in the scam. I bet a bunch of politicians run these mafias themselves. India is a dead country.

As a first step it would be good to get together with some charities and NGO's to print education material for the 1 million or something sand mining employees of India... In the deserts, far away from the rivers, there are abandoned riverbed where the water has shifted, and geological maps can give better alternatives than the current anarchy... many informations can be provided to the workers to help them, for example legal information about prospecting for legal sand mining land, how to purchase it, licence it, etc, and how to mine deep and safely, digging deep instead of displacing wide surfaces is technically difficult. AFAIK, semi metamorphic rock from particular kinds of mountains can produce the sharp sand that is good for cement, in areas with gneiss and grey/brick colored rock, i dont know for sure, but you can find billions of tons of prospecting to get rich in legal sand mines if you research in geology. I expect there is perhaps a minimum of known sources in India, so it would be a good idea to see what research is being done NOW to find cheaper sources to undercut/equalize with illegal mining.

@bestelectronicmusicfromnew5189 7 жыл бұрын

Technically speaking it's a study of construction aggregate, which is anarchy in India, so an indian who researches science on the geology and worldwide industry of construction aggregate and information solutions can perhaps become wealthy... i.e. reading many documents. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212609012000064 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_aggregate Also, a person who buys and sells old industrial mining and grinding machines from europe and for construction industry can become wealthy perhaps, sorry i dont know for certain. text: Aggregate quality and prospecting - KTH Research Project Database text: European marine aggregates resources: Origins, usage, prospecting found from construction aggregate prospecting search on google.... Rivers have to be managed technically with banks to regulate flow speed, and... it's interesting to see that they don't use any dredging machines, which at least dont take water from the banks. They use pickets and stuff to change the flooding nature of the river, it's also very technical, it can help stop erosion. river erosion studies also should be in full power by the state.

Australian development was shaped by it's building sand supply locations. Quarry Industries control it and are vast. However, the most expensive part of such sand is transport. With technology closer supplies that are cheaper to transport can be washed, graded and mixed. What India lacks is this technology. Since concrete is the basis of development it would pay for more people to be trained in quarrying and concrete batch management

Why should any country look to Australia for development? That "technology" you speak of can find in Japan or Germany.

Who are we (developed countries) to pass judgment on developing countries? Of course, it would be nice if India was able to enforce its environmental laws, but in a country where civil servants are grossly underpaid, is it surprising that bribery is commonplace? In a country where most of the rural population lives below the poverty level, is it fair to expect them to do whatever they can to feed their families? These are problems that must be solved by the Indian people. Solutions cannot be forced on them by the west unless they request our assistance.

Well the court has to uphold the law. It's the politicians who should find a solution. If demand is not met they should find new legal mines to open. If they don't do that there is not enough sand or price is driven up so much that illegal mining becomes a lucrative option if they can even pay bribes with what they make. At the same time fines should be high enough to make illegal mining not worth it.

It's a tough situation, yet ultimately in India, China and much of Asia the situation is mis-managed. There is nothing wrong with development, but this unhinged growth is clearly very unhealthy. The governments can use their absolute power to encourage modesty and anti-materialism to the people, and focus on providing basic needs, but instead the ideas these people have are to grow as quick as possible, become rich and buy all the coolest things to somehow prove something to the world. I went to China hoping to find a more genuine life but instead encountered a crass commercialism on a scale I couldn't imagine in my home country, which has a reputation worldwide for this sort of mentality. It's really too sad. We live in an age of abundance and general world peace, yet many developing countries are abandoning their principles and pursuing riches. Perhaps I give them too much credit, maybe they had no principles to begin with and this western idea of development was an outlet for them to put their constructive and destructive energies. I sometimes got that feeling in China.

A I understand my own hypocrisy in this reasoning, but the situation is still fucked. These buildings may be new but are of extremely low quality, and the reinforced concrete highrises in India seem to be on the same level as in China. They will be gleaming jewels to make good face at the beginning and then rundown and without routine maintenance within 5 years' time. I myself am not necessarily rich but I have been fortunate be educated and can see this is a disastrous recipe. In fact, I for now have chosen a technically lower standard of living in order to put forward my best foot as to what people believe they should expect from life. These countries can do better, much better, and they can look at places like Japan, South Korea and Malaysia (Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong included) as examples of how to properly scale a society. Western countries are not the only paradigm here.

However the prevailing logic under these market economy systems says 'well, things are definitely a hell of a lot better than they used to be' so we'll keep doing it this way, even if the methods are terribly inefficient.

Except all journeyman pictures is a yt channel that reposts other media outlet's videos. This for example is a part of an ABC Australia news report.

david bryan I always wondered the same thing. Not sure how it why they get away with it but whatever. The only thing that bums me out is that they rarely ever post the entire episode. Only a clip. Worthless imo. Btw ABC Australia has these up for free on their site.

You have to be very cereful when you call an informal organization an organized crime organization. Organized crime is closer to big coorpotations than to shanty towns. Obvioisly it is illegal for few people to collect sand in an informal way, but laws are made against the weak, you will never have a law criminalizing big extractivist coorporations that generate major ecoloical and socioeconomic threats.

These people are doing a job that benefits industry, city development, Real Estate, etc. They are harvesting a resource. Should there be stronger legal and environmental oversight on these workers? Almost definitely, yes. But what this lady is doing is disgusting. Leave these people alone. They are working to feed their families. She's a rich foreigner that is trying to make a movie. Piss off.

Luke G workers are working out of poverty, and u r right, when they look for job to earn their bread they don't have option to look for legal and illegal, it's these mafia dons who employ them and also, they dig up all the sand and totally destroy the land base of the areas near rivers and causes fatal landslides. Land mafia should be eliminated at all costs, but these workers need a decent job, which is dilemma situation becoz of our country's careless callous population management plan when the population explosion started to occur

Sometimes making things illegal sends what should be an honest business underground where it exists in the shadows, unregulated, where prices increase stimulating scarcity even more. All people use sand it is one of the most common natural materials on earth and isn't in short supply unless someone wants it to be that way. In the USA we dredge sand out of a hole and make a productive lake, no big deal. Example: Costa Rica allows sea turtle eggs to be sold supplying the small market from certain beaches which are overcrowded by the turtles who destroy each other's nests. Other countries nearby ban the use of the eggs driving the price up so much it encourages them to be taken even worse to where few nests survive and the turtles become nearly extinct.
