Just a few minutes back you were clearly taking a pro-democracy stance but later you termed Nupur Sharma's comments as "damage", please tell me how democracy is possible without absolute free speech, our country is a flawed democracy not because of the reason stated by some western institutions but because the right to free speech of people like Nupur Sharma is obstructed by the judiciary and cowards like Mr.Modi
I think people (and especially ‘experts’) underestimate how strongly india desires to be left alone and out of so-called ‘global conflicts’. This is the fundamental basis for India’s desire for, and willingness to uphold, strategic autonomy.
True. People don't understand that India has always been an inwards looking society, although not one that dislikes interactions and exchanges with foreign cultures. India is too large and complex, it is a world within a world. Over the past 1000 years, multiple issues have also cropped up in its society that warrants a deep introspection, and India wants to achieve that. Sadly, till date, not only has foreign interference prevented this introspection, it has actively misled this introspection in order to further destroy India's social fabric, already in disrepair due to the past millennium of incessant foreign invasions.
Therefore, India really does desire to be left alone. We've never had an interest in imperially exerting power outside the Indian subcontinent. And we realize that unless we are strong enough to deter even the strongest nations on the planet, our civilization will be snuffed out. Hence the desire for strategic autonomy.
If it's heading to electoral autocracy, one can say it always was one, with only one big national party for 70 years. It's a bit crazy and a clear bias that the rating in the democracy index was better during the emergency 😂
Yes
These indices are a tool of foreign policy the Westerners use. It is not meant to be objective. It is meant to advocate/propagate Western foreign policy, or create grounds fertile for them to maneuver.
I used to believe that GTBT provides unbiased coverage on international affairs but after seeing this video I have to say that like all other western media houses gtbt is a highly biased, they compare Indian Muslims with uighars which is highly misleading as being an Indian muslim I have to say that our situation is more like UAE than uighars
me too, shocked by this portrayal frankly.
What do u guys mean by that ?
These foreign morons see Indian politics and think there's a actual genocide in India. These stupid people do not realise most of the news is fake and is only for vote bank.
@@SgtBlueffeCt Sarge, Several of the information portrayed are infact false and mostly based on self serving narratives. For Example: Nupur Sharma controversy shows how biased and filtered information was used in building this entire Video. Correction: Nupur Sharma was provoked ""Hindi God Shiva was blatantly abused by the Muslim scholar in the Tv Debate and she confronted with the remarks about Prophet marriage to an 9 year old and consummating it in another year"" which is also same remarks as per Muslim texts. You really disappoint how you portrayed half-baked truth.
They never call for secularism in the 50+ OIC countries. Instead, NATO supported Al Qaida affiliated groups in Syria, the absolute monarchies of the Gulf and the government of Pakistan for decades.
India always had the autonomy. India was never too close to USA nor too close to Russia 🔥
India was too close to USSR.
@@amritpalsingh3293 too close means giving military basee in country. Like USA has in japan germany. India never gave that.
@@anantbhushangaur1972 Neither of those countries gave that per se, as it was more a result of the occupation after WW2. In fact Japan benefited greatly from the US presence as it meant that they never had to worry about their own defense (the US guaranteed that) and were instead able to invest the money they didn't have to spend on defense into their economy. Even Germany didn't necessarily want the US to leave either as it meant that they didn't need to spend as much on defense either.
@@aruak321 check on google , both USA and USSR asked for a military base in India. India refused.
@@anantbhushangaur1972 India had military pact with USSR.
Amazing video, I am from India and you have gotten almost all of it right. The deep seated division between Hindus and Muslims is also because Muslims are not ready to be assimilated in the democratic society. They want to follow their own Muslim laws, further belive in forced conversions and often support radical pakistan. This in turn provides Hindus radicals with lot of ammunition to use against them.
Yeah that's a lie. Modi needs someone to blame. Muslims are an easy target.
Show me one democratic muslim country. It can't exist. They are mentally still in the dark ages. India is doing an excellent job handling these npcs.
@@mantham343 1. There is no conflict. Russia has been intervening in its neighbor for decades and still keeps doing so. Anyone who still believes Russia was "provoked" needs to touch grass.
2. Do you have any source as to how those Russian speaking Ukrainians are oppressed? (Thank you for not saying "Russians" instead, which surprised me). From what I saw when I was there, they themselves abandon the Russian language and the state goes along with it.
@@mantham343 3. "regime change operations the west has been running in Ukraine" -> this is complete nuts and just a repetition of Russian propaganda. The people themselves revolted and it took months to convince the bureaucrats. The whole country and whole cities revolted. We are talking about millions of people. They have been wanting this for decades because they already have a bad history with Moscow. Where the hell is that so-called West other than moral and financial support?
@@kgn0k 1. There were multiple public promises made by the west during the 90s that "NATO will NOT expand eastward" as it would create complications and threaten USSR/Russia. This was one of the reasons why USSR was seemingly "unopposed" to unification of Germany. These promises were broken on multiple accounts before Ukraine invasion and were definitely intended to intimidate and "provoke" Russia..
2. The Azov Brigade has received harsh criticism for its involvement with Neo-Nazism and brutalities in Eastern Ukraine to promote "national idea" since their formation.. It is actually kinda funny that western media from The Guardian to USA Today forgot their own reports on Nazism and Human Rights concerns once Russia decided to take things in their own hands.. 😅
Having said all this, I still oppose Russia's decision to unilaterally invade foreign soil using military power. They definitely could have handled this diplomatically, but your statements can only be deemed as "blatant lies" which I assume stem from ignorance and not any kind of malice. :)

It's surprising to see that even otherwise good channels struggle to get any real insights on Indian politics and society and merely propagate what they learn from India's english speaking leftist elites. Indian democracy is a lot healthier now than at any point during Congress government which is basically a family business of Nehru dynasty.

07:15 Chinese navy doesn't dominate Indian Ocean. India said clearly Indian Ocean is open to every country, that doesn't mean we wont defend Indian Ocean against who try to dominate it.
Until India takes a clear anti-corruption stance, they'll be a clear speed limit for which the country can mature.
How can they take an anti-corruption stance when their religion believes you make heaven or hell on earth. What you do is for show on the outside. But there are no morals with what you can do with regards to money.

Corruption is going down as economy keeps growing
Wow 😂you think India has a clear pro-corruption stance. This is the problem with armchair Geopolitical experts who have never stepped outside their mom's basement. Sorry am insulting you because this is such an ignorant illinformed take
Since 2014, corruption has drastically come down both at the macro high offices level and low level at the streets. People of India voted out a corrupt ineffective government in 2014. Unless you woke up after a 9 year coma, you are talking B.S
One thing people fail to understand is that India's passive aggressive relationship with Europe doesn't mean a unfriendly relation with US.
India knows Europe will outright refuse to help India in case of a Indo China war because of their economic dependence on China and lack of possible conflict areas vis a vis China. This view became even more stronger in India after the lukewarm response from Europe in 2020 galwan Clash.
No... Non Europeans and non Americans think that... In the eyes of the western world, they are sub humans and the problems of us sub humans are our own problems, while Europes problems are supposed to be everyone's problem.
It's not just glawan, it's was the ignorance and inaction towards the rawanda massacres , 1971 Bangladesh genocide, Vietnam, Iraq , Iran , Afghanistan etc.
We sub humans have, collectively stopped expecting from the higher intellect humane west. Tbh we don't have even a shred of anger , we'll love to come as migrants too . But , we've stopped expecting justice from the just.
Eastern Europeans are sub humans too ... But just better sub humans.
If China goes to war against India, Europe will no longer be trading with China. That said, India and China have been neighbors for a million years and all wars between India and China ended two and a half millenia ago after Buddhism. That's why bothe countries have over a billion people while Europeans discovered two new continents and still haven't caught up in population after hundreds of years of humongous families.
I think there will never be war between India and China, the whole world would burn and be destroyed because of it. ( nuclear weapons )
Well, with India buying oil from Russia, the water’s becoming even more tepid. I do think India can fight off China just fine, though…!
you must have gotten your sources on internal stability of india from pakistani media 😹😹😹
@jaihind9462
Yes, you said it right from that sh*tty smell.
A lot if Misinformation in this video
1- BJP party is not Hindu nationalist . If they were, Hindu Temples in India wouldn't be paying taxes (While churches , Mosques won't). The Muslims in India have more rights, all you have to do is read the constitution. The Waqf Board of Muslims can capture literally any property in India ANY .
2- Whatever Nupur Sharma said was a response to a Maulana who said crap words against Hindu diety lord Shiva. All you had to do was to see the full video of the event to know that. Later that lady got rape and death threats, even a terrorist from Pakistan infiltrated India to kill her however the Maulana guy is simply roaming free, like a Hero among Muslims
3- Due to videos like that, Muslims now in India have a free hand. They attack Hindus( Christians too) and even police gives a second thought to arrest them because it would cause massive uproar internationally .
4- The problem of India is not Internal. The problem of India is not Hindu nationalism . Out of 1 Billion Hindus, some 1 Million might ask for Hindu rashtra , rest just wanna live and work peacefully like anyone on this planet. However the problem with India is ill informed international media like you people who cause a lot of problems (Idk if that's intentional or not but in the era of IT, i find it amazing how people can't see the reality)
Muslims are radical about their views in west too, they want a separate nation governed by their own people and laws(*sharia). Alot of imams and public figures of Islam in the west also openly preach this.
I agree with u, gave a dislike to the video for this
Well a bit of that Hindu nationalism is being slowly converted/changing to Indian Cultural unity these days slowly but surely with sentiments of cultural unity in one form of Akhand Bharat, although its true that it can also be taken as regional unity if not properly controlled. Also although it is being potrayed around that Modi is authoratarian but i would say, its not that BJP has become very powerful in India but rather the lack of a good opposition to BJP is hurting the democary so saying that BJP made India less democratic is not the correct notion in my honest opinion and YES that also mean i would like congress or some other party to be able to fight BJP properly but reality is that they dont have any good PM material these days. Moreover just wanted to ask/reason that where did this lack of democary went in the various reports for past 70 years where India was more or less ruled by on Congress.
India flirted with dictatorship with Indira Gandhi the current government is nowhere that level these foreigners are biased idiots.
It’s amazing how opposition doesn’t show up to elections when you put them in prison for insulting Modi and the BJP.
@@Grak70Which opposition is put in prison? Tell me
@@artman12 Rahul Ghandi for one at the national level. Plenty more at the state level.
@@Grak70 Rahul Gandhi is free and he even gave a speech against India in USA a few weeks before
To all the indian watching this video and asking from where he got information so wrong about indian internall politics. Do realise that this guy is from poland where poland and india have pretty good relationship but they hate the Russian. So in polish ideal world they would want India to anti Russian. Hope this explains his motives behind false information.
Whether He is from poland or russ, we do not care until they r not trying to harm us, we have our own interest and that's everything and above all for us Indians !!...
I will listen whole day police speaking against Russia because Poland was/is/will never have any intension to destroy India so they are naturally trustworthy.. second,they don't hate India and don't try to pull out legs.. third i can feel the pressure Poland in under because of Russia..
Fourth, Poland was never a colonialist in nature, West is still colonialist in nature,just hiding under corpate..
America also needs Turkey to keep Russia out of the Mediterranean and more. It is just that Turkey is not as large as India. Geopolitically that's why the US pulled Turkey into NATO early on.
Turkey's turkic identity can also be used to expand NATO till China's western borders.
@@captainnemo8072turkey is not stupid. They'll never allow organisation of turkic nations to be a NATO pawn. India and Israel however would benefit from Tukrey being a bulwark against Chinese dominance and to contain Iran.
NATO aka US and its lackeys is far to jingoistic for Turkey interests. They would walk them into with into conflict with China in East turkestan or with Russia in the caucuses
@@skp8748 judging from Turkey’s economic underperformance and huge inflation, I’d say they are pretty stupid. Their government is at least.
And I don’t think Turkey would be all that worried about a war against Russia. Turkey could defeat Russia in a defensive war by itself alone, but if we include the USA and NATO it’s not even a contest. US vs Russia situation would literally be the Gulf War 2.0 a one sided stomping
Conflict with China is physical impossibility for Turkey, you’d know that if knew anything about geopolitics or geography of central Asia.
America isn’t pushing Turkey into any kind of conflict anyways, the USA’s strategy against nuclear powers is deterrence through overwhelming capability. We aim to be so much more powerful than our adversaries that going to war against us or our allies is unthinkable for our enemies
Turkey wants out of NATO and into BRICS.
@@skp8748 indeed. How would containing Iran help India? Iran has and probably won't be a threat to India. They probably align on a lot of things.
Plus they will never allow Turkey to lead the Turkic people in the East. History knows well what can happen.
Maybe the foreign press India recieves now. But absolutely no western analyst has any idea what kind of sectarian violence has independent India been through. I urge you to study PEW report of the religious situation on India to get a clear picture.
The imperialism-lovers of Europe and USA always do that to blackmail India. Their countries themselves won’t take in ji hadis but want India to take in and give them more rights than others.
@@HemantKumar-id3jg The truth is the opposite. India today is more democratic while their Europe and US are less democratic.
@@HemantKumar-id3jg nope. It just isn’t. Actual statistics completely contradict your statement. I have seen Naxalite movement in my state, and more than fair share of political killings, including killing of journalists. I am not gonna pay heed to any made up european rankings with ambiguous Statistical methodology.
They never call for secularism in the 50+ OIC countries. Instead, NATO supported Al Qaida affiliated groups in Syria, the absolute monarchies of the Gulf and the government of Pakistan for decades.
Sectarian violence doesn’t justify making tens of millions of people second class citizens and throwing the political opposition in prison for “insulting” the ruling party. This is complete “ends justify the means” bullshit.

India still has a long way to go before it can realise it's economic potential. Overwhelming bureaucracy and corruption are standing in the way of domestic entrepreneurs and a competitive environment. If India doesn't want to end up as yet another factory, they need to tackle this issue first.
Sundara229
What is wrong if India ends up as a factory (as you impute)? Is it a bad word? In fact for her huge population's needs India is a huge factory (by global standards even) to produce most of their needs. The fact is that it isn't sufficient, making India depend on her neighbours like PRC as well as Europe.
@@MrPoornakumar What I mean by "factory" is in reference to the "middle income trap". The value chain of a country's advancing economy starts in argiculture, then moves to (industrial) manufacturing and should ideally end up including services and intellectual property.
IP (in combination with globalism and cheap, overseas manufacturing) is what makes the West so rich. If India wants a piece of this pie, it needs to expand competitiveness amongst small and medium sized businesses, fight corruption to encourage investments in higher industries and lessen the overall bureuacratic burden.
@@Sundara229
Thank you. I fully agree with you.
Yet, yours is a textbook case. Reality may be different. India has reached Services stage, no doubt handicapped by lack of full-fledged manufacturing to support the services. Our software engineers are (in the world) foremost in chip design, but we have zero capability in translating the design on to a chip. For that we have to depend on Taiwan.
Small & medium sized businesses need to expand far beyond what it is now. Our businessmen aren't entrepreneurs but just traders who locate where a thing is cheap to buy & sell to Indians at profit. In the bargain "standards" suffer as It is OK if we don't have "adequate" manufacturing. This mismatch leads to all kinds of situations (as well as corruption to untangle the hassles, yet get profit in them). If it is really smooth there wouldn't be possibility for this mismatch & resulting malpractice. If India wants that piece of pie, disorderliness must end that means end of fixings, jugaad & all such. It can be ensured if the gaps in manufacturing addressed & fab facilities are put to answer (meet) the demand.
@@MrPoornakumar India has so much potential but the government bureaucracy and endemic corruption at all levels is holding it back from fully reaching that potential, and is scaring off a lot of potential investment into India. While India has gotten some investment and that will continue as capital continues to flee China, it could be so much more than it's getting so far.
@@aruak321
Yes. Leave the past. What should India do ?
Remember India is very seriously deficient in Technology (China got it through reverse engineering & hasn't brains enough to do it).
No empty words please & no sloganeering. We 've had enough of it too.

India has been building aircraft engines for her military aircraft of Russian, French or British (& even her own made Marut jet fighter) make in the two engine divisions of HAL, for five decades or so. If GE makes her engine here in India, that will be one more addition. So what is the big deal? Is it because it is an American engine?
Unlike abrahamic religions and theocratic states a Hindu Rashtra doesn’t preclude other religions, faiths, ways of life. Hinduism doesn’t condemn other faiths or practitioners for being wrong, nor does it charge a jiziya for being different, it actually encourages multiple paths to the same eternal truth, but the same cannot be said of Christianity and Islam. There is no hell for “heathens” or “non-believers” or “kafirs” to be eternally tortured with. A Hindu Rashtra means freedom from the supremacy of these historically and presently dominating ideologies.
Jews were never persecuted in India for over 2000 years under hindu rule. Zoroastrians (parsi) and the small jewish community fell safe in India even tho their number is less 10k while 1/5th of the population of "peaceful" religion which causes problems every across the world feels unsafe
@veerchand2129 Because Hinduism in a pagan cult religion like from ancient Egypt, Greek and Roman. There is one GOD, YAHWEH. He created the world and humans. The Man and Woman sinned against him in the Garden of Eden and YAHWEH became flesh(JESUS OF NAZARETH) is pay for their sin. Roman Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Judaism, JW, Mormonism and Islam are all false beliefs that corrupt the word of GOD - THE BIBLE. Roman Catholicism is a pagan Roman Babylonian religion. It is based on paganism theology and not on the Bible - Idolatry, Mary Worship, Saint Worship, Pope Worship, Immortal Soul, Afterlives, Week Pagan Sacrifice(Eucharist), Priestly celibacy, Meat restrictions etc. Learn about PROTESTANT THEOLOGY CHRISTIANITY and throw away those "man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell." - Deuteronomy 4:28.

Don't worry bro, if india survive we will do exactly what they did to us from 1757-1947.
Jai Shankar didn't get into if Russia or Europe is at fault. He was just saying it's not India's problem.
India was constantly questioned on it's decision to act for the interest of Indian people i.e buying cheap Russian oil. While that weakens Europe's sanctions, that's not India's problem. Eventually Europe is letting India buy Russian oil, refine it and sell back in order keep oil prices low and wash their hands of dirty sources.
And some claim that Russia is actually losing money on every barrel.
That's a common misapprehension. If Western countries wanted India or other countries to stop buying russian oil, they'd simply ban russian oil being transported on Western owned/insured ships (which is most ships). But that would have caused a global oil market crash, which they wanted to avoid. Instead they imposed a price cap. A price cap would keep supplies flowing, keep the market steady, but would cost russia in profits, which is the main goal. The goal was never to stop anyone from buying russian oil. The fact that India is getting cheap oil of the deal is considered an added bonus by most serious minded Western analysts. The only people complaining about India buying russian oil are dimwits online who don't understand the function of Western sanctions.
Yeah, India minding its own business here will make it easier for America to not get involved with any Indian conflicts with Pakistan and/ or China. Let them destroy each other then we’ll swoop in and profit
@S: Well, Russia’s losing on every war, that’s for certain.
@@SpazzyMcGee1337
Yes. If they (Russians) sell the same oil in Europe, probably they'll get double the price. And Russia needs money for her Ukraine war.
But there is a fly in the ointment - the sanctions imposed on Russia due to which Russia is obliged to sell her crude to India, albeit at cheaper price.
Once the crude is turned into down-stream products in a refinery, you can't call it "Russian". Suppose Japan imports iron ore from India, makes it to steel & sells in America, do the Americans call it Indian steel? In fact it is a shade better than that. In the refinery, several crudes (from different sources or countries) are blended, processed/cracked to yield Petrol (gasolene), Diesel, a whole host of lubricants, mineral oils & some cooking gas too.

After killing all local indigenous religion & Culture. This Abrahamic people still have audacity to lecture India who still continue to preserved many religion & cultures.
Your assessment of Nupur Sharma controversy shows how biased and filtered information was used in building this entire Video. Correction: Nupur Sharma was provoked ""Hindu God Shiva was blatantly abused by the Muslim scholar in the Tv Debate and she confronted with the remarks about Prophet marriage to an 9 year old and consummating it in another year"" which is also same remarks as per Muslim texts. You really disappoint how you portrayed half-baked truth.
Also Comparing Indian Muslims to Uighurs situation in India is very funny way of your biased research or willful propaganda.
NRC "" National Register of Citizens"" Its purpose is to document all the legal citizens of India so that the illegal immigrants can be identified and deported. Many countries have this and maintain it.
CAA ""Only non-Muslim entered India by Dec 2014 to be granted citizenship in a rush procedure since they are identified as fleeing due to religious persecution"" While Muslims of Pakistan/Afghanistan/Bangladesh are also allowed to take refuge but still need to follow usual procedure for citizenship criteria since they are fleeing due to economic or political reasons.
The geopolitical analysis was spot on, but I feel your research on India's internal issues was largely based in western media. There's enough english media available by Indians that you can read I'm sure you'll be able to spot and filter out the sold out media on both the right and left

I emailed over fifty companies in India because I need overmoulded custom cables made for my small UK company. None of them could do it because only the Chinese have the necessary machines, so I have to keep buying them from China. Shame
It was not there just 2 decades before. Soon you will get it from India. India is developing.
@PJ-om2wq
I fully agree with you. That is the naked truth. Indians (my countrymen) suffer from the "don't know^2" problem (they don't know that they don't know).
It leaves a lot of leeway for the West as well as PRC, to control the actions of India.
@PENTESTERPRIX
India has time. Don't worry about India, attend to your country's problems.
This is definitely one of the more realistic documentaries on social media and I am saying this as a voter who voted for BJP twice. India being termed as an "electoral autocracy" is definitely backed by ulterior motives. Yes this Prime Minister is the most rooted to his culture. But in his term, his incentives and schemes have benifitted all citizens equally. Extreme poverty is at its lowest and the economy is on the right track. It is easy and sometimes skewed to quote articles, news and papers but the ground reality is that a common person in India can see for himself/herself how much the infrastructure has grown, how much better their lifestyle has become and how much more confident their government is. This is also the reason why Modi won his second term with overwhelming majority, even winning seats in Muslim majority constituencies. This will also be the reason why BJP will win its next election.
👏👏👏👏
Dang I was gonna write a pretty similar reply. You’re absolutely right. May I add, no terrorist attacks since they’ve come to power, more respect from world leaders & records in number of new income tax payers & in taxes generated.
I wouldn't say that India is anywhere near being an authoritarian country as they are still a democracy even if that's weakened a bit, but they are moving in the direction of authoritarianism (much like the Republican party in the US...). This is something that needs to be watched and if it continues may be a cause of concern.
You also mention all of those benefits but that is also how authoritarians get and stay in power. Look at the CCP in China, they grew the infrastructure, people's lifestyles got better, as did the economic strength of the country, and their government is certainly confident. However no one would ever mistake China for being a democracy.
@@aruak321
I pity you, pity you & pity you.
There is o comparison with CCP, which is a one party government (Communism). India is a working democracy, in which there is a place for every shade of opinion and governance. It offers an option to choose a servant to the nation, depending on the need of the nation at that moment. Every political party will (promise to) deliver all goods at a time - country's security & defence; Economy growth & welfare (HEW=Health, Education & welfare or Social empowerment). The voter should treat the "Netaa" as a servant & choose that chap fitting the need. But what is happening now is just the reverse.
In WW II, when German Luftwaffe was pulverising Britain to smithereens, Churchill stood it all, encouraging his nation to fight & won the war (of course with American money & Russian blood, but they were the allies, damn it). After the War, when peace prevailed, the same British public dumped him in the election for good. We get to hear no more of him.
Why that far? Come to India. Mighty Indira Gandhi was dumped by the same Indian voters, equally strongly. Learn.
@@MrPoornakumar You completely misunderstood and didn't read all that I wrote. Also what I wrote was directed to the OP. I said that India is definitely a democracy but are moving in the direction of authoritarianism. Right now it's a slight movement but one that needs to be watched.
The part about the CCP was due to the factors that the OP was praising. I was pointing out that none of those factors really has anything to do with democracy, as even an autocratic country such as China has done them.
Why don’t your Poland take in so many Muslims and give them more rights than majority if you care about them so much?
This presents a very skewed view of Hindu-Muslim relations in India, other than that it's a great video
@mutualbeneficence
Ever since the partition of India, the West has been fed on a diet of Indian Communalism, that can be denied. The axiom they have before them is "Pakistan for Musllims, Hindustan for Hindus" (it rhymes well you know - if only you use the word Hindus)as if all others(Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jains etc) are dead as well as a Muslim population equal to the whole population of Pakistan (a nation that never existed before 1947) that chose to remain in India.
It isn't the view that is skewed, but their "facts" are.
What nupur sharma said was factually correct. Muhammad did marry a 9 yr old and consumated that marriage.
And as of hindu nationalism, what has hindu nationalism done to anybody in the world?
Hinduisms core philosophy is pacifism, which in my opinion has got us nowhere.
And as for Muslims in India, there was a perfectly nice country called Pakistan which was carved out of India for them, if they don't like it in India please move there.
They were responsible for a string of bombings in the late 2000's.
nupur sharma is a hero and warrior of truth.
Nupur Shama said something not factually correct and not agreed upon by all Muslims. Lookup "Uthman Ibn Farooq Aishas Age". He proves this.

Is that really the case. In autocracies there is usually 1 leader who keeps on being reelected indefinitely, its kind of the results of autocracy, so there is really no sense in calling a country certain way because of the election results, when there really are no election process or the one that supposedly exists is there just for show.

This feels very western-biased. The world would still have US troops in over 7 countries even if Russia became the most peaceful nation on earth tomorrow. The USA would also expand, too. Not that Russia is good, but the USA kills more civilians most years than any other nation. Or at least, by proxy we do. And it's unreasonable to claim india should trust the west after the genocides that colonists did, and the way the west uses countries as colonies today, informally through corporations and corruption. Why would India align with powers that fairly openly seek to subjugate them? India has no ideal nation to partner with, but Russia and BRICS are arguably the best option. Tough to fault them for being rationally self-interested while remaining mostly isolationist.

First thing, make it into your brain. We are your Partners and not allies Don't treat us like Europe. We won't follow you for no reason..
Brown people of the world would be wise not to trust white nations, europeans have a long and storied and current history of regime change, arming terrorists, and seizing natural resources. Latin America is done with the USA, as a concept. Nothing good comes to anyone working with americans, or any other imperial power. That's why India is willing to work with China in BRICS, they both know they're not white enough to pass into the clup, and keep any of their original culture. Japan and Korea have been SO westernized since their respective wars. And sure, it's decent to be a japanese person, but not so great to be korean, for the VAST majority at least.

People outside the US seem to be consistently exagerating the unipolarity of the world and the hegemony of the US. For only a few years immediatly after WW2 was the US the near totality of Western power, but after Europe and Japan were rebuilt it was simply the leading power in the west and never dominated it's allies in the way that the USSR subjugated it's vassal states in the Warsaw pact. The idea that the Cold War was symetrical in this way with US as an overlord was always nothing but Soviet propaganda to their subject states to convince them that subjugation was inevitable no matter what side they were on, Eastern Europe correctly saw this as a lie but people outside Europe have seemingly swallowed it because of its use in domestic grivance politics.
Post coldwar their was a badly misplaced triumpalism in the US and a belif that it was now unrivaled, this lead to neo-conservatives within the US to abuse allies and conduct destructive miliary adventurism which rightly got push back from the rest of the world, note that they also implimented brutal mask-off capitalism at home devestating the American middle class. But the important thing to remember is that the whole unipolar world NEVER existed and could never have existed at that time, the US as a portion of world economic and military power was down in the 20-25% range by then which is simply not enough to dominate unilaterally. It was only the NATO alliance + East Asian Tigers which constituted an unrivaled powerblock, and this inherently means multi-polarity, the 'western' more accuratly 'democratic' alliance simply contained multiple poles within it, just as the nacent Russia-China-Iran alliance is also multipolar. The consistent lack of unified action and potential for realignments by members prove that neither block is being dominated by one hegemon which controls other states the way the USSR did.
Thanks for this great insight into the complexity of India. 👴🏻🇦🇺

@@bramha9680 indeed.

Theres no such thing as hindu radical. All nupur sharma did was quote hadith lines in opposition to a muslim guy who was bad mouthing hindu gods. This is misinformation
Actually we Indians want the world to include cow dung throwing as part of Olympic and recognise India as superpower. Nothing else matters
u r just defending muslim radicals 🤦 we majority hindus are under attack from muslims
India is a vibrant democracy and religious minorities are living peacefully from centuries and yes there are only 5-6 countries in the world which have a population above 200mn people. We have 1 single minority with the same number so u cant compare them with ughar Muslims in china. Here most people dont even talk about religious beliefs rather its more of a people to people perception. Go educate urself before blindly following the western reports.
1. India is a democracy. For now. But if the government continues to control the media, it will not remain a democracy. Freedom of the press is one of the key things that makes a democracy a democracy, as it can criticize the government. A government with control of the press is a government on the road to dictatorship.
2. Hindu nationalism. If you define being a citizen of India as being Hindu, then you exclude those not Hindu, in this case Muslims, from being full citizens of India. If rhetoric is allowed to become policy and discrimination grows extreme enough, India will have a civil war on its hands, as around 20% of their population is Muslim.
1). On what basis, you've reached this conclusion? India was, is and will always be a democracy. But for Indians, India & Indianness is of the utmost importance. Why are you Westerners so obsessed with democracy when you yourself are having flawed democracies. India being a democracy or non-democracy, is and should never be your concern. It is up to the people of India to decide.
And please do your own research instead of forming your views and opinion about India on the basis of this content aka these random videos made by such ill-informed and over-opinionated Western social media content creators and RUclipsrs.
2). You have no idea what you're talking about. You have no idea who Hindus are and what their nature is, as a community. The so-called Hindu Nationalism is basically Indian nativism. Indian Hindus have no history of persecuting and committing genocide of other religious groups. Hindus gave refuge to both the Jews and Iranian Zoroastrians who sought refuge in India because of their persecution by others. These communities prospered in India.
Hindu Nationalism = India's cultural revivalism, indigenous Indian identity consciousness, reaction to Christo-Islamic aggression,etc. You would be surprised to know that there are many Indian Muslims and Christians who do subscribe to such views and ideology. There are lots of non-Hindus in the so-called Hindu Nationalist organisations and groups. So your claim of Hindu Nationalism being exclusive is pure BS. People who have Indianness are Indians irrespective of their religious affiliations.
Reality is that the so-called Hindu-majority Indian state in itself is discriminatory against Hindus. Hindu temples and institutions are under Govt control. But same is not the case with Mosques and Churches in India. Indian Govt until recently, even use to provide subsidy for Hajj pilgrimage to Indian Muslims. This isn't the case with Hindus. Indian Muslims have those privileges which even Muslims who live in Islamic/Muslim-majority/Muslim-dominated states don't have. Like Sharia law and having personal law in civil matters on the basis of religion. Yes, the secular Indian state and its constitution has partial Sharia as part of its constitution. Do you Yanks and Westerners have such Sharia-based laws as part of your countries' laws?
Indian Muslims are even allowed to have 4 wives in the name of personal law and freedom of religion. This isn't the case with Hindus in India.
The population of Muslims in India is in between 14-20% and this includes those Ms too who live in India illegally. Like Bangladeshi and Rohingaya Muslims who cause lots of problems and law & order issues. Rest of your claims are also BS. That's all.
always funny to hear someone talk about a permanent seat in the UN security council for India, while they abstained all the votes against the russian invasion which is clearly against the UN charta. India should show they take their responsible serious first. Such a seat should not be demanded to gain own advantages but to preserve world peace, countries souvereignity and all the things russia ignores but are written down in the UN charta.
*_k Ur western 'UN charta.', we do not care !!.. "preserve world peace," ?? if china and america along with colonial power(britain and france) has that UN security council "Veto power" to save their ass after committing genocide, do U think it's worthy more ??.. if U r a bad person then do not expect anything good from others !!..
When 1/5th of the world's population has no say in the un it pretty much shows that the UN is outdated. Btw America and China had blocked declaring many pakistan terrorists as global threat for decades until recently.
USA was also going to put sanctions on India during the 1971 war with Pakistan because we stopped a genocide in Bangladesh (east Pakistan previously). Pretty hypocritical i say so

Dude do your research...
Muslims were not excluded from National Population register...Cite your sources of people removed from register or deported...give even one name from a country with 200 million Muslims...
This video is a gross misrepresentation of India and i would encourage the creator to do better research. I will outline a few points to establish why i say this piece is poorly researched.
1. Nupur Sharma - did she say something disparaging about Md? Yes. Is this allowed under freedom of expression? Yes. Remember the case of Charlie Hebdo? The rules around freedom of speech and expression include speech that is deemed offensive. Those criticizing the government around their treatment of Sharma do so not because they are fanatics but because they see the setting of a dangerous legal precedent.
2. Hindutva - "tva" means essence. In other words hindutva is the essence of hinduism. For some strange reason western commentators feel that it is a bad thing. There is no evidence to support it. Most western countries are essentially christian nation states. How many have non-christian heads of state? India on the other hand has heads of state from a variety of faiths.
3. Are minorities in danger - this is utter nonsense. The minority populations in India have grown as a percentage of the overall population. This wouldn't be the case if there was discrimination against them. I would refer those interested to the Pew research that surveyed indian minorities and found that they overwhelmingly felt safe in India.
4. NRC - India, Nepal and Bhutan are the only hindu majority countries in the world. In sharp contrast there are several christian and muslim majority countries. Mostly in muslim majority countries, the population of hindu's has tanked due to religious persecution and forced conversions. However, you will never hear a mention of this from western commentators. The NRC was devised to allow such hindus and other persecuted minorities a safe haven.
Spoken like a true westerner who has no idea about india's history, did the west helped us in 1971 war with pakistan, no infact US sent Task Force 74 i to bay of bengal( it had a nuclear powered aircraft carrier) then it was Soviets that helped us by sending their submarine armed with nuclear warheads to bay of bengal, US also asked china to get involved but china was unable to do so as indian army has already planned if china decides to jump in the war.
Let's talk about friendships with US, so before russia-ukraine war started biden and many other western leaders were going to ukraine and were expressing their solidarity with ukraine and they made big promises to send armies if russia invades but what happened as soon as the war started US and other western countries refused to send armies and told ukraine to fight themselves and saying thinks like ukraine have to defend itself and we can't help them, so western countries are backstabbers how can you trust them they could do the same and risk millions of indian lives by doing so, russia and china are closer to india than western countries india can't isolate themselves by being west's puppet.
Talking about russian invasion, western countries are imperialistic in their nature and that haven't changed why did america invaded iraq, where are the weapons of mass destruction? Did anyone find them yet? What about what US did in libya where's the accountability for that? If america or any western power does something wrong, nothing happens but if some country do not do what US wants them to do than they are banned, sanctioned what kind of leader US is? Just a hypocrite and all the other countries in europe are it's puppet who will do whatever US wants them to do which is just pathetic. US is responsible for more than half of the conflicts going on in the world, they go and support rebel forces around the world, they have toppled so many governments and then they make a corrupt dictator the ruler of the country, it will nice if US or any western country do no teach democracy to the world, they are the most evil in the world.
What Russia did to ukraine is quite bad and it is an invasion as millions of Ukrainians have lost their homes and thousands have been killed there's no doubt but US and all the other western countries that are puppet state of US have done worse crimes in the name of establishing democracy around the world .
Also, if US and other western countries are so good, why did US supported Saddam Hussein during Iraq invasion of iran, they provided him with weapons and what happened after that do you remember, in 1990 saddam hussein instructed it's army to invade kuwait possibly using the same weapons that US provided them.
Don't give this BS like who is wrong and who is right, both sides are wrong western side is probably more in the wrong, india can decide for itself where it should head
People are so confused these days. They think they are correct all the time. Like this video.
India will never play an important role in global affairs.
we dont want autonomy...we already hv autonomy!!
China seems to be trying to put a ring around India, idk what you're talking about
Yeah, which is why I'm confused by Indians claiming the West's expectation that the good people of India will denounce evil is an impingement on India's autonomy.
Don't form opinions after reading al Jeera, NYT, and WP on India to make your points otherwise, you end will observations as such which is far away from reality.
Recently, the USA rebuked when asked about Indian democracy and asked that person to visit New Delhi and see for yourself. I quote
"India is a vibrant democracy. Anybody that, you know, happens to go to New Delhi can see that for themselves. John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council in the White House.
European ratings of India will always reduce because India doesn't follow their instructions and on top of that India also hasn't openly condemned Russia.
And, Muslims, if India is so bad, I have never seen a ship of Indian Muslims trying to reach Europe or any other country. Because reason is simple, the arguments you want to portray are far away from reality. Pakistanis despite being a Muslim country and once Indians now flocking to European shores(recent ship sinking incident).
Anyway, now the real issue, the problem is that(completely my opinion) if India completely abandons Russia, then there would be three troika nuclear nations of China, Pakistan, and Russia at India's border, and Europe and America are far away from India. So, in my opinion, India would not like to get isolated in its neighborhood.
I wish for the best future in India.

It'll sure be interesting to see in the coming decades if they can become a global power and how they'll handle it. Ultimately I don't think America will have an issue with them gaining greater power in the world especially if they can take that leading role from China. People sometimes forget that most Americans have very little desire to be the unipolar hegemons of the world forever. They just don't want the world to be ruled by ruthless autocracies who limit core individual freedoms and don't abide by the rule of law.

BS started from @16:28 when the same old “Hindi nationalism” propaganda started!!
There are some truths in this analysis, but one of the biggest flaws are about the notion about India’s government creating divisions, suppressing muslims. In the past they have even been accused of doing more for Muslims than Hindus, now that minority groups are no longer getting the special attention they were receiving before, due to the current promotion of reviving ancient culture in India, this is being perceived as a threat to those who don’t want to see India rise (including Indians who are impacted by a colonial mind set).
Out of all of the minority groups, the main group that feels threatened by this ‘Hinduva’ rising are the Muslim extremists who would wish for Islam to be promoted more; they don’t like this shift in attention. But every mature minority in the country feels safe & liberated if Bharat’s ancient culture was to be revived. Sanatan Dharma only considers truth & identifies the whole planet as many manifestations all coming from the same source, or we could say many cultures coming from the same planet, all one, one family, it’s not about one cultural group vs the other. If one is promoting Secular-ism, it is usually a disguise to ultimately get what they want in the long term. However simply being secular or universal in administration and power, this is what Sanatan Dharma can achieve, it’s just that strangers to it, feel that it is only for one cultural group, but in reality it is not. All Indians, it’s neighbours and the entire planet will benefit out of its efficacy and not out of its dominance over others which have been the approach of many others parts of the world.

India has all the good cards, but too many hands playing them...
1. Muslims are not an ethnic group. Indian Muslims have the same blood as Hindus and their ancestors were once Hindu before being forced into conversion by the sword or "encouraged" through jizya.
2. Hinduism is not an Abrahamic religion. Stop projecting your ideas of what religion is onto your understanding of Hinduism and understand Hinduism for its pluralism and spiritual liberation through many different mechanisms such as discourse, debate, asceticism, yoga, metaphysics, and so on, none of which involve proselytizing or forcing conversion. Hindus do not believe in forced conversion and this is what allowed for the pluralism that has always existed in India. Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs are all branches of the same tree of "Dharma" and the former two have existed for thousands of years with rare bouts of persecution by Hindus, if not never.
3. Never once do Western liberals and commentators ever mention the *actual* crimes of Pakistan and the fact that Pakistan was formed by Muslims on the basis that Muslims and Hindus cannot co-exist. These peaceful neighbors went on to use their resources to conduct cross-border religious terrorism and fund Islamic extremism in India. And yet India is an easy punching bag despite the fact that India has a liberal democratic framework that guarantees freedom of religion and the abolish of caste and religious discrimination. They are more obsessed with the fantasy of radicalized Hindus then the actual crimes of Jihadis on every corner of India. India is home to 200 million Muslims but less than 2% of Pakistanis are Hindus. This should tell you everything you need to know about the nature of Hinduism and Islam in the Indian subcontinent.
Please do not source your studies on India through Western or even Indian journalists. They are politically driven by a fake liberalism and do not give you a firm reality of the state of politics and religion in India or the history of India for the last thousand years. There are profound intellectuals like Sai Deepak and Sita Ram Goel if you're interested in the true Indic perspective of our civilization and history.
😂 Dont show your analysis brain to sun light .
Also a genius way to propagat you propaganda through in the name of geopolitical analysis 😂🧠🌞
Also some religions are the most radical territories by it self and balm other religion that is the real political power of that kind of hollow religion.
Modi 🚩🚩🚩🚩🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Comparing Indian Muslims with uighur Muslims is totally insane.
Use correct map of India
I like the video. It's pretty well done.
But I'll leave you with a quote from External Minister S Jaisankar (paraphrasing), "it is an electoral autocracy when you don't like the people in charge".
Don't worry India under the Modi-ruled BJP is doing fine. It could do a lot better in terms of economics, infra and other policies. But they aren't as demonic sd they are made out to be. Fringe elements are always there in every society. Taking that as a metric to judge is kinda lame, unprofessional and not very intellectual. (not saying you (GTBT) are doing or saying anything as such). - An observation from my side.
thanks! very interesting. A doc on what is happening to poverty and corruption in India would be interesting.
I m from India 🇮🇳and this information is completely bullshit...(propaganda)he don't know anything about india.
Man these well informed professional creators with an “accent” are clear but very subtle propaganda. Russia is the new colonial Britain ? Someone with this much knowledge in geopolitics will know well enough that colonialism still exists.
Yup it definitely does . America has defintly made whole of europe ( except some countries) , japan , south korea , philliphines its colonies or a vassal state at minimum because they literally say what Americans want them to say and theyre interest are always aligning with thề Americans
India is playing a very dangerous game. It thinks that it is capable of playing Switzerland. But that is not as feasible as it thinks. At least, not now. India lacks the institutional strength, the strength of investment, the control on corruption, and the low wealth inequality. These are important, if not mandatory prerequisites to have the luxury of global neutrality. Frankly, I no longer believe that Switzerland has that luxury anymore. However, I do believe a multipolar world is developing. But the sides will be the US, EU, and China, based on my current understanding. Even Russia, at the end of the day, is at China's mercy. I do not believe India can be its own side in this newly developing multipolar world in this decade.
I don't care about a multipolar world as long as it's based on democracy, freedom, free press. But I am afraid it's more about democracy vs autocracy.
You've described a bipolar world
@@olafsigursons that's a perfectly valid opinion, and I can understand that view. And that makes me look at Modi in a slightly troubled way, considering how he has taken the axe to various Indian institutions and has been consolidating power for his party. The so-called world's largest democracy is looking less and less democratic. Could that be Modi using the term "multipolar world" as a euphemism for keeping more power for himself?
@@markmuller7962 militarily, maybe. But there are other contexts through which we should try to understand this. I was mostly looking from an economic point of view. But then again, if we look from a cultural point of view, the world is already multipolar; it has been for a very long time.
The very fact that India rebuked the west on sanctioning and buying crude from Russia and still gets exclusive deals from US just proves that it is but inevitable whether you believe it or not is redundant
Well, the western world is bound to be irritated given that every problem they face is a global one and problems that Asia or Africa are just local, individual problems. A nation cannot be forced into suffering because of other countries' policies that they did not sign for.
Use the correct map of India
India is moving away from Moscow and getting closer to Washington when it comes to arms deals. Not for nothing, it did not invest in the Sukhoi 57. India begins the process of developing the Indian arms industries with the aim of turning it into a superpower that exports arms and does not import arms.
And there is no such thing as attack on Muslim, as long as they consider this as their motherland , they are Indian
RPF Constable
Like people always says when ever there is an attack of Muslim men!
He is a mental and psychiatric issues.
India is a great and upcoming nation -- the terribly needed counterweight to China in the East. Hopefully they can overcome their religious nationalism tendencies and return to the path of pluralistic democracy. If the US can do the same (maybe less likely), a partnership could be in both countries' interests.
India and US r not same, we should not compare... totally different *Ideology and Culture* and should not impose anything from outside of India !!..
Your yardstick doesn’t apply to us. We are two complete different nations and infact that’s why West isn’t trusted coz they have a habit of making comments without knowing the details.
@fredhearty1762
There is no religious nationalism< if Muslims have their rights & Christians are entitled to theirs, why not the Hindus (who never claimed or asserted them)?
So far as pluralistic democracy is concerned, India has the best (if you still can't see it, better change your glasses & without a tint).
The Chinese navy dominates the Indian ocean? What are you smoking?
0:32 wrong map on India.
Unsubscribing now. It starts with Russia and ends up into minority issue of India. You get my point.
Kindly use the correct map of India 🇮🇳
India is independent from 1947,the Europeans find it difficult to deal with an independent state and hence resort to drag it down from a long time.More such propaganda will be produced as India becomes more powerful.
Another observation.
The BJP spokesperson did not make any derogatory remarks about anyone. She only quoted what was written in the holy book. You can look it up yourself.
And that brings me to the freedom of press accusations. In India, you can pretty much print anything about the BJP/Hindus and get away with it but if you make fun of any minority, especially if you're not of that minority, you'll be ostracized/legally challenged and or thrown in jail or unalived "legally" or illegally. Btw here the minority we are talking about is over 200 million people. In my mind that makes them the second majority rather than a minority. But I guess people get away due to these very schematics.
Also, the CAA as well as the NRC (NRC is not even out yet btw and people are spiralling over it already, such hysteria these lobbies create ) has not excluded any Indian Muslims. The CAA bill clearly states that it only affects minorities in India's neighbourhood, that is, Muslim majority countries, and helps them get them on a fast track to Indian citizenship. That is due to them facing injustices and have a threat to their lives or livelihood . It has zero effect on Muslims living in India. Yes all illegals will be thrown out, as it effects the people these migrants end up living in. And states resources can't be wasted on illegals when the citizens themselves have not been able to get much in terms of support from the govt in the past decades. Which under BJP is doing at least somewhat better.
I would love a similar short doku on Polands PiS party.... I heard its even worse that Hungary Fides party...
This either a propaganda video or is heavily influenced by propaganda. Basing one's conclusion on material as reported by European or US media is quite erroneous since it is heavily biased against India due to Chinese and Pakistani influence respectively. To get a more nuanced conclusion, Japanese and Australian media are more helpful resources in this case
India's own communist elite provides them those biased numbers.
