When villagers of Babupali in Odisha라이브 바카라 Samabalpur district tuned in to PM Narendra Modi라이브 바카라 weekly Mann ki Baat on July 25, they were in for a pleasant surprise. They had never imagined one of their own would be lavished with praise by the prime minister. But then, Isaak Munda is no ordinary villager—not since March 2020, when the daily wage labourer shot and posted a video of himself eating ‘pakhala’, the popular Odia dish of fermented watered rice, on YouTube. An Adivasi, Isaak had borrowed Rs 3,000 to buy a smartphone and hardly expected that his first video would get over 5 lakh views in next to no time—earning him Rs 37,000 when he was jobless due to the Covid pandemic. He has been something of a sensation since, making lakhs from his YouTube videos.
