Inside the Illegal 'Dunki' Route Migrants Take From India To The US 'Dunki’, from the Punjabi word for ‘to hop’, has become shorthand for a vast underground migration route stitched across continents. From villages in India through the jungles of Latin America, it is a journey of stopovers, bribes, and dangerous border crossings, all aimed at one final destination: the United States or Europe. For those attempting the route, the stakes are brutal. Families mortgage land to pay agents. Migrants are packed into boats, ferried across crocodile-infested rivers, and pushed through forests controlled by armed gangs. Extortion, violence, and exploitation mark every step, and for many, the journey ends in death, deportation, or prison. This film uncovers how the ‘dunki’ network operates, and the cat-and-mouse game between agents who profit from keeping the routes running and the authorities who try to crack down. But as borders harden, the demand only grows, revealing the true cost of chasing the American dream https://youtu.be/jdgvUiw5yXU

Holy f*ck!! You b*tch Mamata, you have defended a mass rapist. This scale of sexual assault is unheard of in India's history!

Fedup of the oppressive regime under Mamata, Hindu gangrape victims in West Bengal have burned down properties of TMC leader Sheikh Sahajahan and his henchmen. According to CM Mamata's statement in WB Assembly, these gangrape victims are liars and Sheikh is innocent. WB Police under Home Minister Mamata Banerjee, have turned a blind eye to the gangrape vicitms for several years, and even mass petitions to CM Mamata Banerjee have been ignored, and no Police action has been taken against Sheikh. Instead Mamata's Police leaked the names of the Hindu gangrape vicitms, and they were again tortured by Sheikh Sahajahan and his men.

The truth of Sandeshkhali, that Mamata Banerjee is trying to hide. The documentary shows Hindu women of Sandeshkhali narrating how TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh and his aides allegedly grabbed their land and sexually assaulted them. https://youtu.be/3iYKShW70Nw
