India as always, can‘t see far enough from their own nose, only go for short term profit. No big tech company will come to India, because they know, Indian officials and courts will robbed them blind with all kind of excuses and penalties. Discounted oil from Russia is short term gain which can not extend into a long term industry, especially when Ukraine war ended and oil priced back to normal. And the funny part was, India pay Ruppees to Russia for oil, but when Russia wants to pay Indian exports with Ruppees, India actuallt say NO.😂😂😂 Indians never learned to build a trust worthy long term relationship with other country.

Excellent analysis… yes, India CAN learn a lot from China in many aspects… 1. Alternative energy… as v know ev’s are the future… and when u have an ev “grandmaster” like China, there’s so much to learn, and use it in our society also… y can’t v learn from shenzhen as to how to manage ev infrastructure in such an efficient way so as to benefit a large section of the society so that they move into alternative energy and thereby make a positive difference to the planet… why can’t v encourage BYD and others to set up shop here, bring in cutting edge technologies that would benefit us!!!.. this is such a topic, I can go on and on infinitely, because as an ev owner myself, I know the struggles I need to face with just charging the vehicle… 2. Poverty alleviation… Poverty is a “state of being”, but like Newton’s second law, an object (human, in this case), can’t “indefinitely” be in poverty forever!!!!.. we have all seen how the IT revolution actually pulled people out of poverty and gave them a respectable standard of living.. we need to really pull people out of poverty and it should be done asap!!!.. China comes in because their poverty percentage is hardly anything!!!.. and v can’t be proud of 80 crore people having a “bheek ka katora” right!!.!. Just because our PM is shameless about it, can v b?. 3. Rightly said that China needs cooperation from us in many aspects rather than “enimity”.. for people who claim to be “anti China” and throw tv’s from the balconies, let me tell you something… The Japanese committed atrocities and unspeakable acts against Korean women (especially), during WW2 and called them names and slurs that I can’t write here, but where are they now?. Both japan and Korea have an excellent trade relationship, and their trade is always at record highs!!.. yes, when a Japanese delegation visits Korea, or the other way round happens, people do remind the Japanese of the unspeakable atrocities committed during WW2, but, barring that, everything is great!!.!. Do they burn Japanese vehicles, and bar the Japanese from conducting business in Korea?. No!!!.. same way, the Koreans aren’t prevented by the Japanese ever!!.. Enemity on the battleground shouldn’t percolate into every day dealings.. that’s different, this is different… We need wholesale assistance from the Chinese and v need it urgently!!!.. asap!!!.!. Just hope someone “truly sane” in the BJP government actually drills it into their heads so that they can realise blunder that’s happening and take corrective steps…. High Time v actually maintain excellent relationships with the Russians and ensure everything is really “changa si”, and not having enemity with anyone…
1. India can't even harness the current energy structure like coal and Petrol, EV are too distant in the future it's almost Utopian for India 2. Poverty Alleviation are Impossible to achieve for India because Poverty alleviation are not actually dependent on Economic policy, it's actually almost entirely political and current Indian ruler don't want their people to escape poverty because if they do then Ambani and Adani will kill the PM. 3. You're correct in this. but today situation are changing extremely since 1990s, now India don't have a single Leverage to cooperate or negotiate with China. this might be the reason why India are moving toward the west, because Modi and Jay shangkar thought that the west Need them more to counter China
It is useless that you have mentioned so much about how India can learn from China. Not many Indians have traveled to China to see the real China. The majority of the Indians 1.4 billion populations are so brainwashed by Indian media reporting propaganda and fake news to think China is less developed and poorer than India. The media brainwashed them that India is already a global super power nation and China is a poor communist nation.
Waiting for long time for your vlog on this Modi’s visit to Russia. What we understand it was the call of Putin to Modi to take firm side between global north and global south and Putin does not want to play on both sides of the cricket wickets.
The relationship between India and Russia and indeed any other country seems transactional and speculative. How otherwise can you juggle between self-claimed leader of the Global South and supporting Israel, being friends with both Russia and the West at the same time. You can play this for a while but it will not last.
We will do what is best for the country. We are not a country like Pakistan whose leaders sell themselves to the highest bidder in the US and Chinese establishments
President Putin also mentioned in his speech regarding BRICS that it should have its own Parliament. This will help further the cause of developing countries and their issues will be heard and resolved swiftly. 16:43
Bilateral tie with Russia downgrades India's value to the West. There is the obvious truism. More fundamentally, economic development with social overhaul should be the objective, not rivalry with China.

@@ankursingh4878 our government needs to stop giving bold statements and focus on real issues but at the moment our government giving bold statements only no work
Dear Sir, for this visit India is likely to pay very heavily in the times to come. Russia is a gone country. We for cheap oil for some times will neither have Russia on our side nor USA. China and Russia will be for each other. Russia+ China are in opposition to the US. We have a Government which is more like a businessman and not whose constituents have ' Jigra'/ Gurda.
Whatever Modi's preference for India's geopolitical position, Washington has other ideas. The US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, reportedly said "There’s no such thing as strategic autonomy during a conflict,” meaning US expects India to toe its line in the global competition with China and Russia. To be sure, it's in India's interest to promote its own interests above all other countries, but it's also clear Washington will force New Delhi to be with it or against it. Things are getting very interesting for India.
To me, the biggest challenge of India is how to bring its 800 M people out of the poverty line. Without significant improvement in this one indicator, India may become the No. 1 or 2 Global economic power but it will be useless unless its benefits are passed to the bottom 50% of the population. Why the US is failing and constantly losing its grip on global order, it failed to recognize and look after its 50% poor pollution during the last 30m years. The average income of the bottom 50% of the US declined in the last 30 years and that too of the top 1% increased multiple times. This is not democracy but a kleptocracy. I have strong faith and hope in the depth if the Indian masses and its 4000 years old civilization that it will not repeat the mistake of the US and will frame growth strategies for its 50% poor classes, not 1% elite. With 'The Hindutva ideology in power since 2014, India is slowly moving towards kleptocracy under the control of the 1% elite. Recently election results point to a new beginning and a ray of hope that Indian voters know well what is good for the future of their country. Another important point India and its intellectual needs to minute and open mindedly look into is that by ignoring 200 Muslims in India, 240 M in Pakistan, 200 M in Bangladesh, and 2 Billion across the globe, India can never be a No. 1 or 2 global economic power in present eveloving and globalised world.
The current Hindu Modi govt is making enemies of 600 million Muslims in South Asia. Contrast that to the policies of PRC towards all the Muslim countries in ME and S Asia. Truly, a huge mistake is being created by this Hindustic govt.
Firstly, India has to build the physical and digital infrastructure and supply chains ⛓️ to attract major international investors.

The media exposes their ignorance about strategic objectives. Any issue regarding war and War Strategy are war secrets and not for people like you finding fault with Govt. So long as China is India's enemy, India is not interested in a sea route via the Taiwan Strait. That is the reason India developed the Chabahar Port in Iran. You create an issue against the Govt without knowing the subject.
China does not see India as her enemy. It's India short sightedness that views China through a frosted glass. Unlike China who have moved on and risen after a 100 years of western humiliation, India is still caught in a time warp of 1962. If india don't move on, she will be forever view as an opportunist without any long term strategic vision. Does India really think she can be independent when siding with US?

they are happy to work instead of running a company. Like all news, people lose the plot of bigger picture. Indian pharmaceutical routinely infringe patents to manufacture generic drugs , which drugs they created? You can go into rabbit hole arguing about their behaviour. Infringe a patent is easiest way to steal as all information is handed in platter. To steal you have do more work to get information. Due to poor manufacturing ecosystem, they can't do much even if they steal America tech. After WW2, in operation Paperclip, USA provided war criminals who are scientists pardoned them and used their knowledge to advance their tech. Von Braun the famous rocket scientist is prime example. EV, which tech they stole? They basically invited Elon to set up plant in Shanghai and benefited from tech and created entire EV manufacturing ecosystem. American companies are still struggling to provide decent battery pack. Tesla source their batteries from Chinese manufacturers CATL, BYD and others.
Failure of multiple regional banks in China exposes limitation of President Xi. Pakistan's economy is stagnant. It is still seeking debt from IMF, Saudi A, UAE etc and debt restructuring from China.
In my opinion “ India is badly stuck in the middle of Americans and Russians+Chinese” If Russians concentrate towards East “It means Russia China conflict on the Horizon “ in that case Americans will help either Chinese or Russians !! American move will decide the fate of India 🇮🇳
Again, he is propounding a seriously faulty assumption that, India's interest and goal align with those of China. In fact they are in conflict - China's loss is India's gain and vice versa in all areas of international relations, be it trade, commerce, industry, and security etc. Mr. Sawhney has a childishly naive and idealistic views on China. On the other hand, it definitely makes sense for India to maintain good relation with Russia since their interest align well specially with regard to energy trade and security concerns involving Islamic radical and Chinese menace within and along their borders. I'll like to ask Mr. Sawhney to come up with few examples where the relation with China has shown to be win-win. China has repeatedly proven itself to be an extremely aggressive mercantilist and ultra nationalist country in its dealings with everyone.
India has no conflicting issues with Russia but has many with China. By the way, Chinese have already started claiming historical ownership of the lands in Russian Far East and Siberia. Russia has far more missiles facing China than Europe.

Do they burn Japanese vehicles, and bar the Japanese from conducting business in Korea?. No!!!.. same way, the Koreans aren’t prevented by the Japanese ever!!..
Enemity on the battleground shouldn’t percolate into every day dealings.. that’s different, this is different…
We need wholesale assistance from the Chinese and v need it urgently!!!.. asap!!!.!. Just hope someone “truly sane” in the BJP government actually drills it into their heads so that they can realise blunder that’s happening and take corrective steps….
High Time v actually maintain excellent relationships with the Russians and ensure everything is really “changa si”, and not having enemity with anyone…
1. India can't even harness the current energy structure like coal and Petrol, EV are too distant in the future it's almost Utopian for India
2. Poverty Alleviation are Impossible to achieve for India because Poverty alleviation are not actually dependent on Economic policy, it's actually almost entirely political and current Indian ruler don't want their people to escape poverty because if they do then Ambani and Adani will kill the PM.
3. You're correct in this. but today situation are changing extremely since 1990s, now India don't have a single Leverage to cooperate or negotiate with China. this might be the reason why India are moving toward the west, because Modi and Jay shangkar thought that the west Need them more to counter China
'Someone truly sane in the BJP government...' Are you high?!?
@@gauravtejpal8901 Yeah, that's an oxymoron.
India needs to earn. Not yearn. Envy alone is not enough
It is useless that you have mentioned so much about how India can learn from China.
Not many Indians have traveled to China to see the real China. The majority of the Indians 1.4 billion populations are so brainwashed by Indian media reporting propaganda and fake news to think China is less developed and poorer than India. The media brainwashed them that India is already a global super power nation and China is a poor communist nation.
Waiting for long time for your vlog on this Modi’s visit to Russia. What we understand it was the call of Putin to Modi to take firm side between global north and global south and Putin does not want to play on both sides of the cricket wickets.
As usual Modi is playing both sides. This is his old playbook. Thank you for the great video.
Pravin sees Indisn politics today what many so called experts in India miss
Excellent review of world situation
The relationship between India and Russia and indeed any other country seems transactional and speculative. How otherwise can you juggle between self-claimed leader of the Global South and supporting Israel, being friends with both Russia and the West at the same time. You can play this for a while but it will not last.
We will do what is best for the country. We are not a country like Pakistan whose leaders sell themselves to the highest bidder in the US and Chinese establishments
Smart and witty old dude
President Putin also mentioned in his speech regarding BRICS that it should have its own Parliament. This will help further the cause of developing countries and their issues will be heard and resolved swiftly.

Bilateral tie with Russia downgrades India's value to the West. There is the obvious truism.
More fundamentally, economic development with social overhaul should be the objective, not rivalry with China.
India probably take another 50yrs to develop.!!
No.. at least 200 years
50 years maybe develop like Africa?
Like China maybe another 500 years. But by then 500 years we are not sure if this planet still exists.

@@ankursingh4878 our government needs to stop giving bold statements and focus on real issues but at the moment our government giving bold statements only no work
Dear Sir, for this visit India is likely to pay very heavily in the times to come. Russia is a gone country. We for cheap oil for some times will neither have Russia on our side nor USA. China and Russia will be for each other. Russia+ China are in opposition to the US. We have a Government which is more like a businessman and not whose constituents have ' Jigra'/ Gurda.

Whatever Modi's preference for India's geopolitical position, Washington has other ideas. The US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, reportedly said "There’s no such thing as strategic autonomy during a conflict,” meaning US expects India to toe its line in the global competition with China and Russia. To be sure, it's in India's interest to promote its own interests above all other countries, but it's also clear Washington will force New Delhi to be with it or against it. Things are getting very interesting for India.
To me, the biggest challenge of India is how to bring its 800 M people out of the poverty line. Without significant improvement in this one indicator, India may become the No. 1 or 2 Global economic power but it will be useless unless its benefits are passed to the bottom 50% of the population. Why the US is failing and constantly losing its grip on global order, it failed to recognize and look after its 50% poor pollution during the last 30m years. The average income of the bottom 50% of the US declined in the last 30 years and that too of the top 1% increased multiple times. This is not democracy but a kleptocracy. I have strong faith and hope in the depth if the Indian masses and its 4000 years old civilization that it will not repeat the mistake of the US and will frame growth strategies for its 50% poor classes, not 1% elite. With 'The Hindutva ideology in power since 2014, India is slowly moving towards kleptocracy under the control of the 1% elite. Recently election results point to a new beginning and a ray of hope that Indian voters know well what is good for the future of their country. Another important point India and its intellectual needs to minute and open mindedly look into is that by ignoring 200 Muslims in India, 240 M in Pakistan, 200 M in Bangladesh, and 2 Billion across the globe, India can never be a No. 1 or 2 global economic power in present eveloving and globalised world.
如果8億印度窮人低種姓覺醒了，你猜猜誰最慌？🧐
The current Hindu Modi govt is making enemies of 600 million Muslims in South Asia. Contrast that to the policies of PRC towards all the Muslim countries in ME and S Asia. Truly, a huge mistake is being created by this Hindustic govt.
If India free Jamu and Kashmir most of the the problem of the region will be solved.
In my opinion, more economic alignment with west is in favor of India. Our focus should be on bringing manufacturing plants from China.
How to do that?
Firstly, India has to build the physical and digital infrastructure and supply chains ⛓️ to attract major international investors.
For India to take the next step, it must master quality infrastructure constructions 🚧, Bhrat Vande trains 🚆 technology safety and quality, Kaveri Engine, ISRO research and development, deployment of new technologies for space, nuclear energy and nuclear submarines 👀🧐🤔
Talk is cheap. You can even screw up the iPhone production plant with unacceptable reject rates of phone assembled in India. Take a cold show and come back in another century and try again.
Simply put it is getting hard to play both sides.
Instead of doing oneside Bakwas, try to do the balanced analysis.
Jai Hind sir.
This the slavish mindset of the FMinistry, and all the Pacca Sahaibs who surround Modi

I have never seen this person say good about modi.
He always says modi not achieved much.
Is he even a competent journalist?! I doubt.
Just look at your time-line, nothing but Modi hatred, negativity & anti Modi propaganda. It’s ok but at least don’t use army’s name or don’t bring army in it. Your videos must be providing lots of information to Pakistan. You are creating dangerous narrative and views about india. You shouldn’t do that if you are Indian.
WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS PESSISSIMIST ABOUT INDIA
The media exposes their ignorance about strategic objectives. Any issue regarding war and War Strategy are war secrets and not for people like you finding fault with Govt. So long as China is India's enemy, India is not interested in a sea route via the Taiwan Strait. That is the reason India developed the Chabahar Port in Iran. You create an issue against the Govt without knowing the subject.
China does not see India as her enemy. It's India short sightedness that views China through a frosted glass. Unlike China who have moved on and risen after a 100 years of western humiliation, India is still caught in a time warp of 1962.
If india don't move on, she will be forever view as an opportunist without any long term strategic vision. Does India really think she can be independent when siding with US?
@@jameslum8822lol...who started war in 1962 and support pakistan in un
@@jameslum8822, You are further exposing your ignorance and you have a leftist mindset. Do you believe in God? If you are an atheist, there is no point in wasting time with you.
The West does NOT accept a multi-polar world. The choice is with the US Hegemony or against it. Big boys like India cannot hide. They must choose one side or the other. The speaker is indicating India is gravitating to the West's side & considers it a poor choice.

The Chinese diaspora in America is accused of stealing technology but never Indian diaspora.
Why?
@Ranaimuye.... because China is communist and India is democratic.
they are happy to work instead of running a company. Like all news, people lose the plot of bigger picture. Indian pharmaceutical routinely infringe patents to manufacture generic drugs , which drugs they created? You can go into rabbit hole arguing about their behaviour. Infringe a patent is easiest way to steal as all information is handed in platter. To steal you have do more work to get information.
Due to poor manufacturing ecosystem, they can't do much even if they steal America tech. After WW2, in operation Paperclip, USA provided war criminals who are scientists pardoned them and used their knowledge to advance their tech. Von Braun the famous rocket scientist is prime example.
EV, which tech they stole? They basically invited Elon to set up plant in Shanghai and benefited from tech and created entire EV manufacturing ecosystem. American companies are still struggling to provide decent battery pack. Tesla source their batteries from Chinese manufacturers CATL, BYD and others.
Failure of multiple regional banks in China exposes limitation of President Xi.
Pakistan's economy is stagnant. It is still seeking debt from IMF, Saudi A, UAE etc and debt restructuring from China.
Western propaganda
In my opinion “ India is badly stuck in the middle of Americans and Russians+Chinese” If Russians concentrate towards East “It means Russia China conflict on the Horizon “ in that case Americans will help either Chinese or Russians !! American move will decide the fate of India 🇮🇳
Again, he is propounding a seriously faulty assumption that, India's interest and goal align with those of China. In fact they are in conflict - China's loss is India's gain and vice versa in all areas of international relations, be it trade, commerce, industry, and security etc. Mr. Sawhney has a childishly naive and idealistic views on China.
On the other hand, it definitely makes sense for India to maintain good relation with Russia since their interest align well specially with regard to energy trade and security concerns involving Islamic radical and Chinese menace within and along their borders.
I'll like to ask Mr. Sawhney to come up with few examples where the relation with China has shown to be win-win. China has repeatedly proven itself to be an extremely aggressive mercantilist and ultra nationalist country in its dealings with everyone.
China and Russia have no boader disputes, all historic matters have been resolved. That's why they have a strategic relationship.
India has no conflicting issues with Russia but has many with China. By the way, Chinese have already started claiming historical ownership of the lands in Russian Far East and Siberia.
Russia has far more missiles facing China than Europe.
