Interesting interview from a seemingly non-partisan perspective. That's one of the strengths of the Indian diplomatic bureaucracy.
Indian bureaucracy: Only with power, not with a party
Don't flatter yourself; Doraiswamy must be one of the exceptions . Most Indian diplomats have been falling over themselves and genuflecting in front of Modi as if he is the incarnate .
@@xcel5203 like who - we like data not drama
The guy asking the questions was trying so hard to paint India and Modi in a bad image
@@AP-ep8di And what's wrong with that, he is completely right.
543 seats and not a single election denier. America must be watching in awe!
I agree on the no election denier bit , but how is what America does or see relevant here. America is not even watching , for all we know.
@@Myopmyown America is not watching, but the leftist, woke American media like NYT, WP continue churning up their bs take on Indian democracy just because they hate a strong leader who does not give a damn about what the Western media thinks
@@Myopmyown Well said mate. America a self proclaimed protector of democracy is pressuring country like bangladesh as to not being democratic whereas Supports Pakistan in their Military Governed politics.....what a hypocrisy
Im sorry but american society is not civilized, don't compare them with us
@@Myopmyown Right. We should care about ourselves.
What a gem of a diplomat
Until 2 days ago the opposition was crying out loud that Demcracy is in danger! WTF? now they got better results Democracy is OK, EVMs ar OK...
Simply Hypocrites and anti-nationals!
Ram mandir politics worker 😀😂
The opposition did well despite the autocratic tendencies of the bjp govt ....bank accounts frozen top leaders in jail just before the election breaking age old parties....just because the opposition did well that doesn't mean that these things that I mentioned didn't happen.
Becoz each polling station was under watch by opposition leaders along with lawyers.. So that wrong doing is not done... Even then many counting stations have reported bad practices in favour of BJP..... WTF
33 seat in UP, still no joke@@SUBASHKUMAR-wz8zx
God sake....Stop taking certification from West😢😢 !!
Fully agree. We actually have democracy, messy as it is, and not run over by corporations and hidden money.
Huge slap to the sky news host !!
Big time🎉🎉🎉 what an intelligent person the ambassador is !
No one is slapping anyone lol 😂. They are educated people having educated discussion. Both did a good job. Keep your jingoism away for a sec and try to learn.
@@abc12345aaa6 Absolutely correct. 👍🏽
Damn. He is beyond polite ♥️
I think this is a perfect political situation for India. I liked Modi as the PM, who executes policies quickly and hence better for country and economy, and yet he is humbled to a level that would limit his autocratic tendencies. The best thing is that the grand old-man Powaar has come back to power in MR state that includes Mumbai and that is good for opposition politics.
Agreed!
Whatever it is, it also says that a lot of people in India are cynical , in indore they have voted 0.2 million votes to nota
He hasn't, just a few seats in parliament. State elections are coming later this year
He never had autocratic tendencies. Had he been Autocratic tendencies, congress men Choppers would be falling out of the sky like flies.
Exactly what some countries want
Modi will think better for India and do the business
But the judiciary or any other major reforms which can take us on a growth path shouldn't be there.
Kamaao lekin jyaada math kamaao
Business will come but not much
USA and China will keep patting us on head
Bharath cut to size
This became a state wise election rather than a national one just like the opposition wanted
True, and opposition did exceptionally well! A good democracy needs a good opposition!
such a good interview. Clear questions with no passive aggressive undertone or interference while speaking. The diplomat was excellent in putting forward our country first, and answering excellently
Admirable clarity of thoughts and articulation.
Good diplomat, India carries on. And please say per capita carbon footprint per Indian and per English!
Lol , western countries transferred their manufacturing plants to the likes of China and India and now suddenly are concerned about carbon emissions.. Masterful tactics tbh..
Modi must show his real dictatorship in his third term 😂😂😂
lmao he needs to perform mujra in front of naidu and nitish to stay in power forget about being a dictator💀💀💀
@@boratroop in your dreams. Naidu and nitish have no where to go. With current numbers, no goverment can be forned without BJP. They dont have too much leverage to challenge modi. They cant extort more than some cabinet berths.
Modi is still gonna call the shots in the government.
@@boratroop nope without naidu and nitisih bjp ka still have 273 seats to gain majority, get some knowledge bjp nda got 303 seats, and some more in near future. So keep on dreaming, k2a.
Eloquent as eloquence can get. Balanced as balance can get.
Very Well Spoken 👍 and simply explained, well done Mr Ambassador 👏👏👏
Suddenly EVMs are having no problems...😂😂😂
Its good mandate by the people of India that we need to continue the growth path under Modi govt. and rejecting corrupt dynastic parties. At the same time strengthening the opposition. Most satisfying thing was, opposition parties didn't get the chance to demean Election commission and Electronic Voting Machines when they lose
Don't agree here - Alliance governments tend to be more corrupt due to the presence of multiple power centers and ministers thereby being less afraid of the repercussions of their actions. A majority for the ruling party is desirable, with a strong constructive opposition party having good numbers - we have neither in the current mandate, no single opposition party with three digits and the largest opposition has not demonstrated being a good opposition with their conduct in the house.
UK started multiple universities in India. My med school
in India was started by the British in 1850. I have trained in multiple Universities in the US . I live in the US and love my
visits to UK.
I would prefer the ones in Nehru and before and post Nehru era(Obviously the non british/western and western centric ones both)
This is the power of true democracy.
I thought India's commissioner to the UK was Rishi Sunak...
Nah Infact it is the other way round. He has been brought in to salvage the disastrous Brexit by signing FTAs with India and other global South countries. IMO India should deny this FTA.
East India company was enough once. Not again.
😂😂😂
Awesome 😅
😅
Underrated comment
We are proud of ourselves and our competent envoys!
A beautifully articulated interview by the Indian Ambassador, effectively countering the negative reporting often seen in Western media.
Modi didn't call Muslims directly as infiltrators but he was talking about the Congress manifesto which talks about reservations for Muslims. In the next line, he started talking about infiltrators, probably referring to illegal immigrants from neighbouring countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar etc.
For that divine thing, he said multiple things.
1. It doesn't make sense how he became what he is, coming from a background of his, in that context he said that he was convinced that it is a divine will, otherwise, it doesn't make sense. He acknowledged that he expected people to not understand or brutally troll him, but he just shared what he thought.
2. There are 2 forms of divine, unmanifested & manifested. So he looks at 1.4 Billion Indian citizens as the manifested form of the divine & he serves them with that sense of service.
This diplomat is an Indian asset ❤
We have a lot 😅
Nice way to shut the propaganda!!!
Great discussion. The ferocious heat during this time suggests that elections are conducted in coller months. Nov-Dec or Jan-March may be a kinder period.
The problem sir is that every year each month is behaving differently due to global warming. This time, winter summer and rainy all 3 seasons approached much later than usually expected.
It would be tough to conduct elections in hilly/himalayan regions in those months due to rain/snow.
o chicha kya tension le rahe 😂😂
UK should bother about British Muslims and How to Stop Sharia Law coming into force in UK rather than worrying about Indian Muslims . Indian Muslims are Well Fed and Growing in Numbers fast .
The Brits don’t need to ask , how to divisive politics. They are the masterminds 😂. That’s how they controlled India and then split it. Not just India actually, but many more . Did the British ask such questions to Mr Churchill ?
Brits are tasting fruits of Churchills' brainchild of Pakistan in their home country . The Britslamist relation goes back 800 years ( Knights Templar and Nizari Ismaili ( Assasins) collab over the Mamluks ) .
India is a natural democracy.
Outstanding, balanced and brilliant. So proud of Vivek.
Vikram
Excellent interview, and thanks for explaining about the "media-myths" .
The UK and USA should learn from advanced democracies like india
Smooth flow of elections and no questions On election process
It's Modi's third term, unheard of anywhere in the world. Even the alliance of all parties India, could not remove Modi. Did they create a dent, sure, but that's where it is. Bjp has still emerged as the single largest party this elections. None of the other parties, of which most are regional, have even come close to what bjp has achieved. Having said that, it will be back to the drawing board, introspect and get into corrective course. Let me sum up by saying, inspite of a huge Foreign interference, Modi is back.
Modi ji undoubtedly enjoys public mandate.
No other leader can match his stature
Ya India isn’t like the US! Democracy is different in the uk us and in India! But we need to stick together!!
Next Jaishankar
Very good analysed reply 🇮🇳Jai Bharat Mama🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 well done Sir 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇬🇧
I don't think any other country's ambassador can explain the way Doraiswami has explained..👏
India❤ 🇮🇳
What punishment is there for those who doubted EVM and ECI and spreaf misinformation among the electorate?
Proud to be an Indian...
Indian electorate has made sure that the ambassadors in UK or any foreign nation do not take sides of one political outfit
Well spoken 👏
The western world never understand India , it’s people and it’s democracy, Alas!
When the diplomat says we had 3 prime ministers in last 24 years , the reporter must be thinking they had the same in UK within 24 days.
We'll be signing a FTA with UK.
Indian diplomacy at its best
Great interview
Well done India
Brilliant diplomat. Swatted away the leading questions to elicit criticism of the current government….
How many Western countries have met the Paris Climate goals ?
India met them 7 years in advance.
Uk ?
Australia?
The host is just shameless.
Great diplomat. Namaste
Congress has never had a majority vote share after death of Ranjiv Gandhi.
The Diplomat was polite enough not to say him on face that india got independence only when the British felt that nothing is now left in india to be taken home
Very nicely done interview.
Great Interview 🔥
By the word inflitrators Sh. Modi meant those from Bangladesh and Myanmar (Rohingyas) who are being cultivated by the Congress and TMC as vote banks. It was not a reference to Indian Muslims. As far as population is concerned, Muslims are very careless and lower their own standard of life, with a large family.
Nice speaker 👍
The guy asking the question is still living in the past. His question about God and Modi and asking the ambassador to explain that to the British audience is a residual effect of the now redundant colonial British perception that they are above India.
Opposition party and western medias are really want to see what is real dictatorship from Modi???😂
He will show it in his third term.
Don't push him towards dictatorship.
Wow what a guy..this here is a true proper professional politician…very tough to read and don’t know if he actually means what he says..but needless to say he’s extremely intelligent and good at his job…
I could learn few communication skills from the gentleman on how to negotiate for a job in interview successfully 😃
6:50 the problem is taking everything literally."I feel this energy is not biological,this energy is given by God",This is what modi said.And it is metaphoric.We should not take it literally.
Interesting interview
Higi commissioner should have said our relationship with UK is based on muual respect not British Raj mentality. Also not using media , Parliament etc used for Anti India ,Anti Modi rhetoric, period business and protecting India integrity ,British soil cannot be allowed to be used for anti India demonstration
Love his choice of words 👏🏻.
The day when they ask these good questions to sharia states is the day I will respect the left.
Any wuss can question a civilised society. Happy for NDA, BJP and our Modi ji ❤
There is no fair electrons in india especially AP and Orissa
fact CHECK Previous BJP govt under Vajpeyi had 162 and 180 seats, the congress under Manmohan sing also had less than 200 , now BJP still has 240 still leftist are making noises as if Congress ( only 100) has won! strange
🇮🇳💪
Wait for delimitation the seat will be 800+
How ever the International Mafia aligned with With in India Mafia interferance , India conclued the MOST VIBERANT DEMOCRACY FULLY SATISFIED aconcluded successful . Which Many Westen Europe or USA would not Digest .
Momin
Modi didn't lose, Modi-cult got denominated.
Anyone saw a future Jayshankar in him?
Lots of bull... he spoke like a true diplomat
Doraiswami has little weakness toward bjp.
The British always here to stir but it is also good to ask those questions for peace of mind even for an Indian who voted Modi because India is one! With lots of beautiful religions!
Continue GOLD STANDARD DIPLOMACY, it is just a WoW
Heiin??😂😂😂
Since when India needed yo reaffirm it's DEMOCRACY to WEST? ESPECIALLY to US??🤣🤣
India has very poor sanitation. When will India be clean? Why won't the politicians do anything about this issue?
How dare they discuss our politics we indian never interested in u.k politics this british media leave us alone last 70 year they are still colonial mindset
Does this guy think everyone is plain dumb and can’t see he is winging his way through the interview and trying to look smarter than his words and defences which are laughable. What would he have said if the opposition had won 30 more seats. Probably packing his bags.
Hi everyone, let's take a interview of British diplomat after their elections?
Unlike what Rahul Gandi Khan said there is no Democracy in India
Modi ji is Bharat hope
modi should retire and let other from his party lead.
India ka danka baja england
*ONE MAN ARMY DHRUV RATHI*🗿👊🏻
The clarity and maturity of this Indian diplomat is outstanding. The west still does not understand that 1 billion people have been involved in this democratic exercise without much violence (except for some incidents )unparalleled in human history That by itself is so much to learn from India.
I would'nt say it involved no Violence at all per se...there was a little bit violence which was involved in some of the smaller states which have had a pretty bad record...but, rest of the country had normal elections without any violence as such. Indians have excersised their Democratic right well

They eventually turned to an Indian Origin PM to save their own economy... But yet the Colonising mentality doesn't want to give up.
It’s time west shuts up on their versions of democracy and sees for what the truth is. The elections has enough to state very clearly, Indian voters are way too more intelligent and we know how to mandate our political leaders. Unlike the mockery that goes around in the so called western interpretation of democracy. Take a pill named chill please
They achieved what they want to achieve 😅. It's the victory of foreign powers😅
I dont think we can just keep blaming the west,,, the 2-3 party left right type of democracy in the west works ok m where as in India it is a "khichadi" of regional parties at national level I wish BJP and Congress gets the mandate not this 18 party coalition , that is not the mature way of voting + too much personality cult
Yes. I personally agree. India is however is total mess of cultures and religions and opinions from left right center up down and everywhere possible. Looks like still the best scenario where there are one or two major fractions with smaller ones also playing some role. Afterall, so much so for the so called largest democracy. But it’s also time the world calls out the west hypocrisy and shows them the mirror on what they define a just and informed election. Hope the bjp will pull up the domestic game and do better with this result
😂 the so called foreign power blame always works
@@jiti5034 bro, the conservatives in the West feel otherwise with regards to their system, including about their mainstream media being biased propaganda machines to be defunded,
If only Modi were running a dictatorship, if only the majority of Hindus were religious fanatics who banded together and voted BJP into power, if only the system of democracy had been tarnished under BJP rule, if only voting machines had been tampered with-then the NDA would have comfortably crossed 400 seats as they aspired. However, none of the above claims by the opposition and the international media were true. Kudos to Congress for increasing their vote count, but they still came nowhere near the seat count (206) during Manmohan Singh's government in 2009.
Hence proved their false propaganda is just that !
Cry more
@@Tubery278 హర హరమహాదేవ శంభో శంకర 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@Tubery278Troll 😂
The voting machines being tampered with was quite a stretch I agree but the ECI had been letting BJP bend and break election rules. Hindus, we aren't fanatics but BJP did use religion to win votes. It worked before but even the people of Ayodhiya want lower inflation, more employment and opportunities which can materially improve their lives. Temple is one thing, but one can't live off of prayers alone. Even they rejected the BJP.
The amount of money the party had is absurdly more than any other party, the strangle hold of the media made them essentially a mouthpiece for the party, the jailing of opposition leaders, freezing of funds of other parties, weaponisation of ED and CBI, and so much more. The BJP corroded our institution and democratic checks and balances.
This is why, even though they won more seats than the entire opposition combined, the narrative is that they lost. Not just because they won fewer seats than they did in the previous elections but more so because with the chokehold they had on the levers of power, they still couldn't win a majority.

The Interviewer's glass is more than half empty; the Diplomat's glass is full.
When my prime minister said that a specific religious minority (Muslims) are infiltrators he didn't mean it to the Indian Muslims they're very much our fellow citizens actually what he meant or addressed was the huge infiltration that's happening through the porus international borders of the state of West Bengal. This is very much evident across the country. all menial and construction jobs throughout the country are taken up by this low paid and exploited work force, which is systematically infiltrated into the country by a huge labour mafia. If this illegal workforce can be tracked down and filtered naturally lots of Indians will have jobs this illegal workforce is a part of the vote bank politics which my prime minister plans to clean up because they're also eating into the social schemes doled out by the central government
Buddy they only understand the language that says the BJP is the antagonist and is a great evil to the world order.
Who care just people need unnecessary freebies
WRONGGGGG
Yeah, Rohingya from Myanmar.
Their number has already crossed approximately 4 crores
And tens of millions of illegal bangladeshis settling in west bengal,asom n tripura till today for political vote,while tripura indigenous became a minority to less than 30% and the illegals holds more than 90% of politics,everyone in the ne india knows and they even say they don't want to become the next tripura and become a minority at their own home ,just like the former chief minister of tripura said openly that he was a Bangladeshi and there was no backlash since more than 70% are either from kolkota or illegal Bangladeshis 🤦
Wow suddenly this country is democratic. Just 2 days ago they were singing a different tune. There is no doubt these people are singing democracy because a stable India would be bad fro certain parties. First China now India it will be too much for them
Very well articulated and diplomatically handled.. Appreciate sir for putting forth your point in National interest 👍
