Ethnic minorities in Georgia

National minorities who live in towns and villages across Georgia usually have a common problem - poor knowledge or lack of knowledge of the state language. This forces them to be in an ‘information vacuum’, where they are cut off from social and political life of Georgia and consequentially, have a weak interest in the elections.

Very interesting and well made documentary thank you. It looks very challenging and I do hope employment, trade and prosperity opportunities open up whilst allowing people to live with dignity and keeping their culture intact!

Does informational vacuum mean stupid? One could learn the language, especially when being unemployed and have time to study. Sticking to ignorance is an expensive tradition.

Learn the Georgian language!

I'm learning georgian, it's hard but not impossible

[@user-r8or-pko3dfg]

So the situation is non-ethnic-Georgians don't want to learn Georgian, so they migrate to Russia or England.

learn the language or move

You can’t force them. They’re free

The 'informational vacuum' begins by ignoring the history of those people and why now they are part of Georgian state.

What does it matter to you Indian what is happening in the distant Caucasus

[@Ping24432]

@@saxhd78v a lot of interest dear . Do you know what we are searching here ? We are searching the ancient root of Gujjor / Jaat / Rajput. It is believed that they migrated from Georgia to India between 1 st Century A.D. to 2 century . They have really long and brave history . Other hand Arab Historians mentioned them as " Black Khazar "

Can't this be Georgia, if you don't know the language, what are you living for? But there are fewer Georgians in Georgia than these, so our race is facing a demographic problem.

Mind numbing. Complaining you can't get ahead because you can't speak the language of the country you live in. Learn the language!
