America’s contribution to the development of the world and bringing billions out of poverty is not recognized which is a shame. Capitalism is a system that works as you know the world virtually runs under an international system based on capitalism.. America is a and will be abeacon for democracy around the world that is what USA stands for… a few hand fulls of countries suffer a high rate of economic and political corruption which kills progress

Significant military power that best survived First at the behest of British, then the Americans and Saudi and now the Chinese who knows in future we will have to deal with TTP in charge of that region.
Relative to the challenge that China poses, it is indeed lux soap. But they're definitely not a walk-over. Conventionally we are several times stronger, even their saner heads acknowledge that.
Not good for India, but I think it was inevitable for India, governed by our geopolitics. Not somethingwe can control, but need to realize that it will happen and be nimble enough to make best out of it.
@@philophysiks25 can't accept your view at all. Modi government might have not performed in terms of parameters like creating employment but in terms of foreign policy and making Indian defence strong Modi government deserves full marks. Today India gets international respect, during previous Manmohan Singh government all we got were trolls and no one took us seriously.
@@philophysiks25 Just importing defence equipments are not enough to make a country superpower and that's why in recent budget 68% of defence budget has been allocated to indigenous productions along with 25% of budget into startups for new innovative technologies. Don't be blinded by sheer hate for a person, but try to analyse by points.
Indian citizens should rise above petty politics of caste, religion, etc and ask questions to leaders on economy, military and education , health and help india develop and become independent. Until people stop choosing leaders based on caste and religion india will always be a small player on international scale Edit: the reply box just like any other comment about our country's issues online, has turned into a religious debate. We are so divided. Hope some sense prevails in the future 🤞🏻
Religion should be on the plate. Rest caste , creed, etc can be foregone. Apart from that economy millitary etc should always be on the plate to qstn govt. and opposition as well.
If it were that simple and easy we would be competing with China who more or less share same journey with india right from becoming a country in the decade of 50s
Are you sure all "Indians" want that? Can you assure me that most Muslims will not fight against India if a war broke out between Islamic Ummah and India?
India's diplomacy and national strategy can be summed up as "speculation". For decades, Indians seem to have not understood the true meaning of "independence".
Because although the Indian territory is independent, the Indians still belong to the colonized group. . Ideologically, it is not yet truly independent, because India's independence benefited from the Second World War, which weakened the British to have India's independence. Otherwise India will never gain independence.
The logic of the indian foreign policy is truly flawed, India is commiting the same mistakes which the pakistan has done over the years trusting Americans and getting dumped against their own neighbours .
@@uzochiokeke4328 that's the overconfidence that can cost you an entire country , keep dreaming in your fallacy of false illusions. The level of poverty in India is so extreme and the mounting debt and keeping currency artificial is the time bomb for India as well but above all the kind of extremist spiral mentality you guys are getting trap into , I hope won't blame the pakistan but your own Hindu fanatics , by dividing Gautam Adani income on 1.2 billion people and calling it that the entire India has the excellent per Capita income is the joke, if the pakistan economy is 7 times smaller in term of its national reserves comparing to India so remember our problems are 7 times less than India as well, our population is 7 times less than India as well, you can always dream of coming into the pakistan but remember the consequences will not even be in your wildest imagination.

@@Diecastcars84 haha typical ISPR gibberish being copypasted again. It seems my first comment has struck a nerve :) You dont want to admit it but your country has become useless after US left afghanistan 😂
I feel India needs to make peace with Pakistan & China or atleast China. Why? Because India will be left alone or isolated in its own neighborhood. To those people saying leave Russia, then support Modi's Make in India, because Army is fully dependent on Russia spares and all. IAF's backbone is Sukhoi, again Russia dependent. At this moment we are screwed, just imagine if we get in war with China and we lose and then impose penalties which will screw our economy, effectively making only 3 powers Us, China, Russia.
ur concerns r correct but we have the great Himalayan region surrounding the upper side, which is a great defense barrier against China. Even if it's long china can't enter India because of the Buffer zone of Nepal and Bhutan. China once tries to enter through Bhutan and tries to build a road to block the Siliguri corridor but the Indian army fought with them and sent them away. Indian army also has mountain training which until recently China had none. Pakistan's economy is in stumbles and even if they want to they can't do large-scale attacks, they also had to deal with TTP and Baloch liberation army. China's first target is Taiwan and they use their communal power, they think since we follow the communist govt we can sacrifice our soldiers for war but democracy can't coz they need to please their people. China has border disputes with 15 countries (even with countries it doesn't share its border with.) But if u give this Chinese soft-action they will want more.
@@biswajitsarma3060 See China is far ahead in comparison with India. Why? Because they are competing against USA & we have been only busy with Pak. So much that our Army is only focusing on Terrorism. On other hand China initially focused on Network Centric warfare and now into Informationnalised warfare, they are way ahead of us at Manufacturing, Cyber warfare, Level of war - Informationalised war, Network Centric war. Do you know only in 2019 did we get SDR & focused on BVR, this is our level. We need to focus not only make in India, but also ask Army to focus on war, not counter Terrorism. China will come and take away Arunachal Pradesh. At this moment our 3 services can't even do data communication as much I know, with each other. When foreign forces come, they either train at a time with either Army or Airforce or Navy. Look at the data communication pathway of all armed forces, they are all moving in different directions.
@@anurag4062 It will take alliance of nation to defeat India. A single country can't do it. But some of ur information is wrong. We have special forces to counter terrorism but from day 1 India always have been training for full out war. India fought 5 major wars China 1 Indian army takes part in many international drills but China just started. India ranks 10 in internet security all over the world whereas China in no. 42. USA 23 or so... I forgot. Only problem is that Indian army doesn't use modernized weapon so much but our missile system is one of the best in the world. Brahmos recognized as world's best missile.
Never seen Gupta Ji soo "Exasperated". Pakistan and China are his usual target but Russia is the new addition and seems to have added "insult to the injury". The list is growing....Bha ji.... :(
Recently Afghanistan and dozen other central Asian countries also added into that list. Iran already dumped India and embraced China for obvious reasons. Bangladesh, Nepal started to show aggression towards India. The whole Asian mainland plus parts of Europe have gone against the interests of India. While Pakistan has spread it's relationships and influence from China to central Asia to Russia and to Europe through Turkey.
India has a bad habit of jumping into the sinking ship at the last moments. They did in the previous cold war and they would do the same in cold war 2.0 😜😂😂😂
The only answer is to build our own capabilities. We keep losing as our industry suffers from dumb and arrogant bureaucracy while we keep running an imported army, half grounded airforce and a navy that has less missiles than the enemies have ships. We wouldn't be in this situation if we had a merit based system and competent people in power.
India's worst enemy is not only China and Pakistan but is its politicians and divisive people. We need to focus only on growing our economy and developing self-reliance. Not cultural revisionism or statues and ego projects. Only when India is the 3rd largest economy will it be respected.
Russia cannot be junior partner to anyone. The struggle between China and Russia is inevitable. As long as the US gave them headache, they are partners. We need strategic autonomy because we are also of same category. Let them fight. The only thing we need is independent foreign policy regarding us. We need China to keep themselves busy with America. Pakistan is busy with itself. We don't need to do anything there. They are their own grave maker.
As long as the Chinese allow Putin to keep up his macho act he will happily sell Russia to China. The only strength Russia has over Europe is their endless appetite for war casualties compared to NATO.

Very well articulated a complex topic by Gupta Sir. My maths Sir always told me first try to understand the problem then only you can find solution. By the effort of Gupta Sir every Indians must understood the problem and a common solution must be in every one mind should be make yourself strong as much as possible. Don't dependent permanently on anyone even on Russia for arms or US for protection from China as Quard. Our own strength is permanent solution. We must build ourselves like Israel model.
Really, for two days I was thinking over Ukraine crisis that where should india stand in this new Geo-world politics. My inner-conscience always hints me that we(india) should inclined towards USA. 🙏🙏

Good analysis. Putin’s invitation to Imran Khan at this juncture is a political biggie. Significant changes are taking place in attitude of Iran and the Middle East countries. They are moving closer to China and Russia and Pakistan. The Central Asian countries are getting closer to China and Russia as well. The QUAD has weakened India’s position with all these countries. It is certainly not an enviable position to be in.
The QUAD will continue to be a part of India's plans. These is no victory for pakistan it is just a pawn that is controlled by china. india has the freedom to choose its allies.
India must develop herself strongly along the lines of Atmanirbhar Bharat and focus on strengthening her economy by keeping cordial relations/ non alignment with both West and Russia so that best of both sides can be utilized to her advantage. India definitely must not involve herself in matters like Ukraine which may cost her very dearly.
this non alignment is not applicable in present times..India will be forced to take sides in coming times for sure...only soln is a robust economy and increasing stakes of international community in indian economy
@@VishalKumar-xp6gz tough times for Indian diplomacy ahead for sure. They have to very carefully maintain balance of power. Because losing either side will be very detrimental for India as a whole. Indeed it's a zero sum game.
@@VishalKumar-xp6gz Probably yes, it will be very difficult for us to keep a low profile like in 20th century, but our diplomats should make sure that our stance is issue based , and need based. Instead of getting bogged down by any one side, staying nimble should be our mantra.
@Ashima Batra Lack of political will stands in the way for India to achieve governance reforms to its maximum capacity. Communism in China paved an easier path for government reforms compared to India. Federalism is indeed the true nature of our democracy, but in my opinion it has created enough obstacles when it has come to monitoring and implementing accountability and transparency. Unless politics takes a back seat, and the idea of reforming India as a whole is the objective of most of the Indian states and ofcourse the Centre, we will not be able to attain our maximum potential. However as far as geopolitics is concerned, it's the largest economies that have a louder voice in the world forum. So economic reforms is an end and governance reforms is a means to that end.
Countries sovereignty depends on its own capabilities, you cannot rely on third countries to help you. The stronger India becomes all these countries fall in line.
However "stronger" any nation becomes if there's a collective effort by others it can be undermined. The Nazi Germany was built on "Strong Germany", "Strongman Leader", weeding out weak (critics, lesser people etc).. That is well documented do read The Rise and Fall of the "Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by William L. Shirer"

Chosing economics over culture ensures prosperity but you will lose your identity choosing culture over economics ensures we are in perpetual poverty. Both are needed in a nation like India.

Very perceptive analysis Mr.Shaker Gupta. Many thanks! Modi's government in India is facing an unenviable situation. It cannot abandon Russia inasmuch as America is a less-than-reliable ally. We keep hearing voices hostile to India from the American establishment. America has frequently let down its allies. So, can India abandon reliance on Russia? Unlikely for foreseeable future. As you said, if the US allows china its own sphere of influence, India will face serious security challenges. Future decade seems rather grim for India.

India has always been a challenging environment to govern. Though, the scale of crisis faced by the current govt. has been unprecedented. With that said, when Modi isn't busy with elections or politics, he governs. We really need to reform both otherwise a future governance oriented PM will be unable to spend time tackling issues in the country.
@@libshastra That is exactly why we should move ahead with more federalisation rather than centralisation because it is always effective and easier to decentralise power instead of depending upon the PM alone.

@@rodgerbloor6680 I dunno lol. Looking at the political dynasties ruling the States raises serious concerns about any further federalization. Just look at Mumbai and the Aarey colony Depot issue. It was a 50-50 JV between State and Centre and now that project is in limbo thanks to a local satraps ego. Basically, the Centre under this government has proved that it can govern. The jury is still out for State Governments. Any additional powers will most likely be abused against the locals is the State. We are well aware about the abuse of UAPA by the Centre but States are way worse when it comes to UAPA. For every abuse of power the Centre engages in, States are 2x-3x times likely to engage in abuse of power.

Iran's economy has been in Shambles all those years but it doesn't make US any less worried about their growing nuclear capabilities. Same thing applies for North Korea. Afghanistans economy is non existent yet it destroyed the armies of the most powerful nations in the world.

India used to have a true friend in Russia , but Indian betrayed them by joining US sphere of influence. India’s real friends are in the hearts of Pakistanis ans Bangladeshis.

It has instigated all the wars over Kashmir and already has (illegally occupied) 1/3rds of it in 1948 before signing of the instrument of accession. Besides, it doesn't have any moral claim over it just because a part of it is Muslim majority; its farcical and we don't acknowledge that logic. And it did prove to farcical in 1971 when Bangladesh came into existence. Frankly, there is nothing materially or otherwise that Pakistan can provide us with. We can work with other nations bilaterally (like resuming East Terminal in Trincomalee with Srilanka, etc.) or through groups like BIMSTEC, etc.
QUAD was always an anti Russian alliance ( We were in it to counter China , the others namely US and Japan , Russia was always in the crosshairs). It make total sense for Russia to align with China
Oh my God really 🤣🤣....I never listen to that but it constantly comes on my recommendations ....how can she give this a positive spin .... One positive I see is that presence of a strong enemy emboldens nationalism and unity of country and internal discourse is not that highlighted but other than that many negatives like trade wars , high military spending , less negotiating power etc
These issues are less complicated than they are made out to be. The simple explanation is that unless there is a quid pro quo there is no relationship. Geographical location of Pak (as SG had said in an earlier programme) is what they can give. China and Russia are interdependent economically (SG has said this also in an earlier programme). What can India contribute? A market? Can India give away the one thing that will help in its development, progress etc. Tailpiece: India has no choice but to keep at bay the wolves on two fronts and concentrate on the economy. Elementary Dr. Watson.
US will do whatever it can to keep its peer competitor (China) in check. India must take advantage of this new found friendship and take as much technology to catch up and become independent in "Make in India" with minimal involvement against China. Let the US deal with them.

Episode 934 is the best I have seen of Sekhar Gupta in the last two years for his nuanced explanation of the emerging situation among Russia, China, Pakistan, and India. Worth watching.
The US needs to bring Russia to their side, just like they did with China in 1971. Russia is no longer a threat to US and Europe no longer the priority. As the (former) German naval chief said, All that Putin wants is just 'respect'.
The problem is that the US has a long history of opposing Russia that the public feels any action by Russia as anti US. They are Pakistan for them. Europe will remain insecure to the fear of Russian expansion. They have a long history as well. China was able to mend with Americans because there is no long standing allies are threatened by that relationship. Japan was somewhat concern but they were only one at the time. We can play same role as Pakistan played when they became link between China and the US. Both considered them their major partner. For that to happen, there is need of strategic change in the US policy. Consider Russian interests while deciding European security architecture. That is where India needs to move. Now are we ready for that kind of engagement? That is the question.

@Vinamra Singhai Our so called Intellectual Chacha made our Foreign Policy and till now we are following the same.......Our Bureaucracy is full of self praising Morons who thinks they are very smart but in reality they are loosers and they have made us loosers too.........They should have abandoned the Russian Block long back in the 1990's when USSR broke........By not doing so we were in a very precarious situation during the Kargil Conflict. Fortunately for us 9/11 came as a Blessing in Disguise.
Since China joined WTO in 2001, over the last 20 years USA GDP has increased by 12 trillion US dollars, while China has increased by 15 trillion USD. USA has benefited a lot from the cost effective goods manufactured by China, and hence USA citizens had been able to enjoy high salary and cost effective Chinese goods until the Trade War initiated by Trump. In other words, USA accepted China in WTO for their own benefit, not for their mercy towards China. But for China, Americans weren't able to enjoy the good lives in the past 20 years. Bharats need wonder why even today under the trade war between USA and China, western investors still prefer to invest in China than in India? Like minded democracies don't like India?
As said, Americans prefer easy money from financial sector to hard labor intensive manufacturing jobs. Due to this reason, manufacturers will not move back to USA. Will manufacturers move out from China to India as wished by many anti China people? Maybe some small portions will move out from China, but to Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, or to India? So far, China still has attracted the largest FDI in the world, 6 times that of India. Keep your fingers crossed Bharat friends!
@@munozgiovanni9384 What I do know, is that the current government had a rare opportunity considering it's mandate, to put Indian economy on track. They literally made an ass out of themselves. The last 7 years of governance in comparison,makes Dr. MMS appear like a demigod
Russia's enimosity to the west > Thier friendship with India. We should slowly shed our dependency on their arms and focus more on our own while also getting closer to the west.
We face a choice between devil and deep blue sea. Siding with US is not feasible as it is an unreliable ally who can ditch even its strongest ally , forget what it can do to India. Least worst course would be to resolve differences or atleast pretend to resolve differences with China n keep on strengthening ourselves and wait for a better time. Like ahmed shah massod used to say "when you can't defeat your enemies, try to outlive them". We should do same and wait for wheels to turn again.
My thoughts: India's biggest shortcoming is it's inability to commit to a big military alliance & broker peace. We should review the abilities of our diplomatic corps; for me, many of them are glorified office peons!
LMAO. Without power there's nothing much a diplomat can achieve. You can blame nehru if you are a BJP rss type or modi if in the other group. As if India matters to these nations - possibly they can use bodies provided by India in their fight for influence.
"China dominated world" starting with Asia. The question should be can India by any means stop that ? Add that as humble suggestion India being a great rising power shoud lead the Asian century not a gora led alliance to belittle the Asian Century .
In our quest to have a western love we have miffed our oldest Russian love. "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush".. we should have remembered that...
When China got surrounded, it made artificial islands, military bases, modernized it's military, started rivaling US in tech, beats up US local representative (India) on the mountains, kicked off trillions of $$$ global BRI projects. When Russia gets surrounded, it annexed Crimea and Donbas regions, stopped US dominance in Syria and threatens EU with massive forces build up on borders. Built relationship with Pakistan and effectively got access to warm waters of Arabian Sea. Blocked US influence in mainland Asia except Indians. Now India is being isolated and surrounded in the region, the Indian media and Modi Govt have started farting everywhere 😂😂😂
India leader always thought they themselves as if they have Anglo Saxon blood.,being used by US just like Ukraine & Lithuania. Silly enough to form Quad chose to be against China rather than economy . Now,found themselves got surrounded by Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Burma,Djibouti ,Bangladesh & Sri Lanka.
👉📣How nice it can be if the majority of media starts to suggest both India & Pakistan to resolve their all differences to bring a peace and prosperity in the region for every body 🤔
India should become the manufacturing power of Quad. Become energy independent through renewables, biomass and non-lithium EV. That's the only way out.
Who is going to do it? Best thing an Indian can do is emigrate. The netas and babus are busy looting the public. May be one day (acche din?) our netas, babus, police, judges and businessmen will finally decide to stop looting us and decide to work for the country.
@Tyt Xlx RAW care about Balochistan Freedom Fighters. They killed more than 100 pak soldiers recently. And today TTP( Teherike Taliban) killed 5 pak soilders near Afgan border. More will come. Good Luck 👍
Names of some very formidable adversaries like Iran, former Soviet states, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives, Myanmar, UAE, Saudi and Qatar are missing from the list. All these countries have allowed Chinese investment, buy Russian military hardware, and, more importantly, their head of state meet Chinese and Russian leaders. Pakistan is a member of SCO, and she is working with Russia on Afghanistan very closely. If Russia wants to be friends with Pakistan, how can India object? At best, they would buy Russian military hardware, which India doesn't like. India supplies BrahMos missiles to the Philippines, and Russia doesn't object to that. India has been hesitant to deal with Chinese neighbours, and Russia never objected. On the other hand, top 5th Gen. fighters still use Western engines. The quad alliance strengthens India's preeminence in the Indian Ocean region, and there is no other reason for India to join the coalition. Russian understand that, and It is not a new development. They would probably, issue a few statements, but she is forming an alliance to stifle India in a stretch of the imagination. Also, as history demonstrates, there is no permanent friends and enemy, and China could behave very differently tomorrow. At the same time, no country, including Russia and the US, wants India to be a dominant global power. Therefore, a fluid Asia-Pacific suits India as it can continue to be the balancing power.
A zero-sum game of choices only applies when a world war like situation erupts. At other times, countries use flexible options with inclusions/exclusions.

The answer for India lies within. The country needs to get its act together. Unite the people rather than divide and work hard and fast to building the country's strengths immediately. Today the population is so divided that we can fall like a pack of cards.
Russia has been our partner in developing nuclear power plants & reactors (like in Kudankulam, Tarapur, ...). A change in strategy from Russia could affect the ongoing nuclear projects I believe 😶
The whole story is based on thinking that india is with the USA. It is too naive on your part that the govt and the foreign affairs don't know this. India is always open to friendship with every country.
Congress foreign policy is much balanced and non provocative compared to current regime.. Personally I believe economy is the best strategic policy. Cuz ones economic prowess determine everything.. And sorry to say India's current situation is like( thotha channa baaje ghanna)
India has done greatest mistake by aligning with USA. It will ultimately lead to disintegration of India as a country. US doesn't have a history of having not eaten up its own allies that it needed for its geostrategic interests.
World politics is not a cricket match where there is Team A and Team B. Russia has been a very close friend of India and will remain so for years to come. Quad or no Quad. Russia will never act against the interests of India even if some sections want it to. International relations is always about delicate balance of interests. As far as Pakistan is concerned, it is nothing but a big burden on everyone. No one will carry it for a long time.
There is no friendship between countries Russia even don’t see India as friend Russia want only sell weapons to India for money Russia also sell weapons to Pakistan and China too
Short term dumb goals should be changed to long term strategic planning to strengthen ourselves, and to reduce the tensions within. If we can’t resolve conflict within, how do we protect our borders.
Don't be stupid. India and China must sit down and work out their problem. India and Pakistan should sit down and work out your problem. Others stay out. India must not be stupid.
Another great video by Shekar Ji and The Print team. A few reflections 1. India looks like it’s punching below it’s weight class (as opposed to Qatar who punches up). Yes India depends on Russia for weapons but so does Russia for $. If India walks away, who will make up the shortfall? Not China, they manufacture their own, Pakistan does not have the finances for that, none of the NATO or EU countries. Other than fossil fuels that only other meaningful export that Russia has. 2. It looks like India will have to stop sitting on the fence and commit to a formalized/strong partnership with the US. The dynamic between Pakistan, Russia and China is going to get stronger for the foreseeable future. Indian needs a counterbalance. 3. Finally the right in the US is speaking Russian talking points, look at Tucker Carlson asking why should the US support Ukraine instead of Russia. The left is United in opposing authoritarians like Putin and Xi.
@Vinamra Singhai India and America are natural partners, there are many shared beliefs. Also support for India is mostly bipartisan in the US. The actions of our countries in this decade will shape geopolitics for a very long time.

Yesterday i saw Indian RW trolling srk over lata mangeshkar funeral. Indian RW that is in power will sink India by pitting the 80% majority against the 20% minority in a geographical area that is not big enough to even hold half of its population. When US, China, Russia , UK get into a meeting room to discuss syria on the sidelines of some world forum, Modi is usually seen lecturing goras on yoga, vasudeva kutumbakam blah blah somewhere else. Indians can get their 2 minute pleasure release by equating pak to lux etc.
It wasn't India's mistake in joining quad infact India is being used by US. The mentality of the Indian leadership is that they are still govern by the West.
I wonder if India can stand up to the US the way China can. It reflects the power they hold in the world. India should at this point focus on Indo-China border issues than that of the US interest of SC sea... and India should strongly focus on Indian economy. If you have money, you have power. Don’t imagine peace at the end of a war... India should stick with diplomacy to deal with the border issues and since India has the capability of becoming a rich country in terms of gdp, so economic growth is the most important for India i would say. Just my humble opinion.
India stopped importing oil from Iran in mid-2019 following sanctions on the Persian Gulf nation by the Trump administration. You think China ever stopped importing oil from Iran and US ever said anything about it?

Thats Right in this war india is alone
ur concerns r correct but we have the great Himalayan region surrounding the upper side, which is a great defense barrier against China. Even if it's long china can't enter India because of the Buffer zone of Nepal and Bhutan. China once tries to enter through Bhutan and tries to build a road to block the Siliguri corridor but the Indian army fought with them and sent them away. Indian army also has mountain training which until recently China had none. Pakistan's economy is in stumbles and even if they want to they can't do large-scale attacks, they also had to deal with TTP and Baloch liberation army. China's first target is Taiwan and they use their communal power, they think since we follow the communist govt we can sacrifice our soldiers for war but democracy can't coz they need to please their people. China has border disputes with 15 countries (even with countries it doesn't share its border with.) But if u give this Chinese soft-action they will want more.
@@biswajitsarma3060 See China is far ahead in comparison with India. Why? Because they are competing against USA & we have been only busy with Pak.

@Ashima Batra Lack of political will stands in the way for India to achieve governance reforms to its maximum capacity. Communism in China paved an easier path for government reforms compared to India. Federalism is indeed the true nature of our democracy, but in my opinion it has created enough obstacles when it has come to monitoring and implementing accountability and transparency. Unless politics takes a back seat, and the idea of reforming India as a whole is the objective of most of the Indian states and ofcourse the Centre, we will not be able to attain our maximum potential. However as far as geopolitics is concerned, it's the largest economies that have a louder voice in the world forum. So economic reforms is an end and governance reforms is a means to that end.

It's about time India ends its blind obsession with Russia. Military partnership is one thing, but being blinded in some baba Azam ke zamana wala alliance is actually stupid. There is a big difference between the Soviet Union of 1971 and Russia of 2022.
What makes you think India hasn't ended that already?
Where do you see India allying with Russia?Are we sending soldiers for Russia to other countries?Are we supporting their activity against Ukraine?
@@stairwaytoheaven1719 More or less on every international forum, India eithers sides with Russia or remains neutral (which is technically same as support). Not saying that suddenly become enemies but do not hope anything significant back from them when the time comes.
@@Aayush12211 One look at India's defence partnership and you would know why. Still after all the "diversification", Russia disproptionately covers the bulk of India's defence market. It has now almost become a ransom. When India bought s-400, the media went all "wow, wow - hindi russi ekta jindabad" but in reality these s-400s were wrecked by Turkish and Israeli drones in Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict recently. That is the obsession I am highlighting.

When it comes to economics and culture what would you choose. Chosing economics over culture ensures prosperity but you will lose your identity choosing culture over economics ensures we are in perpetual poverty. Both are needed in a nation like India. Culture is so deep rooted in India it has vice like casteism not just in Hindus but also among Muslims and Christians as well. Only way forward is education. We need good moral and ethics lessons right from our childhood. Only then we hope to get rid of religion caste and focus on economics and March towards prosperity . Unless we adapt in this modern and ruthless world we will be called a national with great potential but never achieving it .

Its easier for India to have good long term relations with China and if they have to divide Asia for themselves it will be too big for them to manage..
Very perceptive analysis Mr.Shaker Gupta. Many thanks!
Modi's government in India is facing an unenviable situation. It cannot abandon Russia inasmuch as America is a less-than-reliable ally. We keep hearing voices hostile to India from the American establishment. America has frequently let down its allies. So, can India abandon reliance on Russia? Unlikely for foreseeable future. As you said, if the US allows china its own sphere of influence, India will face serious security challenges. Future decade seems rather grim for India.

It's been extremely challenging for the current government on all fronts. It seems everytime Mr. Modi starts relaxing, something pops up. I noticed today during his speech that he has lost a lot of hair. This Russia Pakistan bonhomie might make Mr. Modi completely bald 😜😜😜🤣🤣
India has always been a challenging environment to govern. Though, the scale of crisis faced by the current govt. has been unprecedented.
With that said, when Modi isn't busy with elections or politics, he governs. We really need to reform both otherwise a future governance oriented PM will be unable to spend time tackling issues in the country.
@@libshastra That is exactly why we should move ahead with more federalisation rather than centralisation because it is always effective and easier to decentralise power instead of depending upon the PM alone.
PM has too much responsibilities and far less time
He has too much food to swallow why don't we divide food to the lower levels so that the PM can eat food to his capacity rather than causing indigestion in the country.
@@rodgerbloor6680 I dunno lol. Looking at the political dynasties ruling the States raises serious concerns about any further federalization. Just look at Mumbai and the Aarey colony Depot issue. It was a 50-50 JV between State and Centre and now that project is in limbo thanks to a local satraps ego.
Basically, the Centre under this government has proved that it can govern. The jury is still out for State Governments. Any additional powers will most likely be abused against the locals is the State. We are well aware about the abuse of UAPA by the Centre but States are way worse when it comes to UAPA. For every abuse of power the Centre engages in, States are 2x-3x times likely to engage in abuse of power.
Federalization is a beautiful word and a lovely concept on paper but reality suggests otherwise.
@@libshastra But it also should not be too centralised

We might not like it but we are already in a china dominated Asia. We should eat the humble pie and accept the reality. In the end it is economics. We have the potential, we should work on becoming a economic power house, then we can take sides. Trusting USA would be a mistake.
Then why the nine dash line is not accepted by any nation except China?
Senior Congress leader and former Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on Monday said the government move to amend Article 370 was “the beginning of the disintegration of India if the current government continues to be in charge.”

It's funny how you think so little of Pakistan despite of the fact that they played such a significant role in Afghanistan which has been the biggest event in international politics in two decades. India has been non-existant in global politics until now. Undermining your adversary is the single biggest crime that you can commit.
So true.
@@VishayVanjani Indian economy has always been better than that of pakistan and yet indian foreign policy has revolved around Pakistan and Pakistan only. The current government doesn't go into any international forum without talking about Pakistan. Why is it so? Because economy is not as important factor as you think it is. Iran's economy has been in Shambles all those years but it doesn't make US any less worried about their growing nuclear capabilities. Same thing applies for North Korea. Afghanistans economy is non existent yet it destroyed the armies of the most powerful nations in the world. While reducing the geopolitical equation to economy you're leaving strategic dimensions unattended. And BTW, indian economy isn't as strong as you think. India is more dependent on China than Pakistan is.
@@aaqibbhat6183 Pakistan at best is a nuisance to India. There is nothing for India to do with Pakistan except fighting terrorism. Pakistan is going to be very busy fighting against TTP and other terror organization based from Afghanistan under the care of their beloved Afghan Taliban.

@The Dark Knight agreed
The moral of the story is India doesn't have a true friend or ally in the whole world except our beloved Bhutan.
Nobody in world has .....all are opportunistic friendships .
China gives loans to pak on higher interest rates than global peers
Russia and China were enemies during cold War which was key part of Ronald Reagan foreign policy
Putin has never visited pak ever
India and US were enemies during 1971 liberation of bangldesh
So , geopolitics decide friendship and alliances
India used to have a true friend in Russia , but Indian betrayed them by joining US sphere of influence.
India’s real friends are in the hearts of Pakistanis ans Bangladeshis. If India can repair her relationships with these two countries , India will benefit a lot.
Giving Kashmir to Pakistan is a very small cost to pay for peace and Indian influence in south asia.

@@bigcheemo So was USA fr pakistan during 70s ,80s ,90s when it supplied weapons like f16s , annual money aid since 2002 US has given $14bn in aid to pak which was ultimately stopped by Obama and then completely by trump....So US AND PAK friendship was as close as it can get and most importantly US supported pak during 1971 war but now tables have tuned.....And kashmir lol they already have half and half remains with india which is mostly jammu and ladakh parts and even if india gives jammu, ladakh to pak their residents will revolt as it has majority of hindu and Buddhist population unlike kashmir .....and they can't handle Balochistan which is same religion but different ethnicity, jammu or ladakh is a long shot
@@bigcheemo Also west continues to help pak , with IMF loans and jobs and education fr their educated population in Us and west .....I dont see any pakistani going to china so pak can't make west entirely angry
@@bigcheemo Why is it incumbent upon India to repair its relationship with Pakistan?
It has instigated all the wars over Kashmir and already has (illegally occupied) 1/3rds of it in 1948 before signing of the instrument of accession. Besides, it doesn't have any moral claim over it just because a part of it is Muslim majority; its farcical and we don't acknowledge that logic. And it did prove to farcical in 1971 when Bangladesh came into existence.
Frankly, there is nothing materially or otherwise that Pakistan can provide us with. We can work with other nations bilaterally (like resuming East Terminal in Trincomalee with Srilanka, etc.) or through groups like BIMSTEC, etc.
QUAD was always an anti Russian alliance ( We were in it to counter China , the others namely US and Japan , Russia was always in the crosshairs).
It make total sense for Russia to align with China

Forget indian media.. follow this guy... True and genuine
These issues are less complicated than they are made out to be. The simple explanation is that unless there is a quid pro quo there is no relationship. Geographical location of Pak (as SG had said in an earlier programme) is what they can give. China and Russia are interdependent economically (SG has said this also in an earlier programme). What can India contribute? A market? Can India give away the one thing that will help in its development, progress etc.
Tailpiece: India has no choice but to keep at bay the wolves on two fronts and concentrate on the economy. Elementary Dr. Watson.
US will do whatever it can to keep its peer competitor (China) in check.
India must take advantage of this new found friendship and take as much technology to catch up and become independent in "Make in India" with minimal involvement against China.
Let the US deal with them.
Yes we should grow economically at rapid pace to decrease the dependence on china as well as militarily to decrease the dependence on russia.

If Bharat grows fast economically to a GDP of around 10 trillion USD by 2030 none of the games these nations play would matter much anyway.
So, our country should keep this as the primary goal when making necessary adjustments & alignments in foreign relations.
Rapid economic growth is the ultimate weapon against Bharat's adversaries
Everything else is manageable.
I never miss class of Professor Shekhar Gupta Sir !! Always enlightening .
Episode 934 is the best I have seen of Sekhar Gupta in the last two years for his nuanced explanation of the emerging situation among Russia, China, Pakistan, and India. Worth watching.
The US needs to bring Russia to their side, just like they did with China in 1971. Russia is no longer a threat to US and Europe no longer the priority. As the (former) German naval chief said, All that Putin wants is just 'respect'.
The problem is that the US has a long history of opposing Russia that the public feels any action by Russia as anti US. They are Pakistan for them. Europe will remain insecure to the fear of Russian expansion. They have a long history as well. China was able to mend with Americans because there is no long standing allies are threatened by that relationship. Japan was somewhat concern but they were only one at the time. We can play same role as Pakistan played when they became link between China and the US. Both considered them their major partner. For that to happen, there is need of strategic change in the US policy. Consider Russian interests while deciding European security architecture. That is where India needs to move. Now are we ready for that kind of engagement? That is the question.

Fortunately for us 9/11 came as a Blessing in Disguise.
Since China joined WTO in 2001, over the last 20 years USA GDP has increased by 12 trillion US dollars, while China has increased by 15 trillion USD. USA has benefited a lot from the cost effective goods manufactured by China, and hence USA citizens had been able to enjoy high salary and cost effective Chinese goods until the Trade War initiated by Trump. In other words, USA accepted China in WTO for their own benefit, not for their mercy towards China. But for China, Americans weren't able to enjoy the good lives in the past 20 years.
Bharats need wonder why even today under the trade war between USA and China, western investors still prefer to invest in China than in India? Like minded democracies don't like India?
As said, Americans prefer easy money from financial sector to hard labor intensive manufacturing jobs. Due to this reason, manufacturers will not move back to USA. Will manufacturers move out from China to India as wished by many anti China people? Maybe some small portions will move out from China, but to Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, or to India? So far, China still has attracted the largest FDI in the world, 6 times that of India. Keep your fingers crossed Bharat friends!

We should slowly shed our dependency on their arms and focus more on our own while also getting closer to the west.

So you say that Russia has dumped india & Pakistan has dumped America. Not a good sign for india.

We should review the abilities of our diplomatic corps; for me, many of them are glorified office peons!

Great discussion Gupta Ji. Two thumbs-up.
When China got surrounded, it made artificial islands, military bases, modernized it's military, started rivaling US in tech, beats up US local representative (India) on the mountains, kicked off trillions of $$$ global BRI projects.
When Russia gets surrounded, it annexed Crimea and Donbas regions, stopped US dominance in Syria and threatens EU with massive forces build up on borders. Built relationship with Pakistan and effectively got access to warm waters of Arabian Sea. Blocked US influence in mainland Asia except Indians.
Now India is being isolated and surrounded in the region, the Indian media and Modi Govt have started farting everywhere 😂😂😂

Names of some very formidable adversaries like Iran, former Soviet states, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives, Myanmar, UAE, Saudi and Qatar are missing from the list. All these countries have allowed Chinese investment, buy Russian military hardware, and, more importantly, their head of state meet Chinese and Russian leaders.
Pakistan is a member of SCO, and she is working with Russia on Afghanistan very closely. If Russia wants to be friends with Pakistan, how can India object? At best, they would buy Russian military hardware, which India doesn't like. India supplies BrahMos missiles to the Philippines, and Russia doesn't object to that. India has been hesitant to deal with Chinese neighbours, and Russia never objected. On the other hand, top 5th Gen. fighters still use Western engines.
The quad alliance strengthens India's preeminence in the Indian Ocean region, and there is no other reason for India to join the coalition. Russian understand that, and It is not a new development. They would probably, issue a few statements, but she is forming an alliance to stifle India in a stretch of the imagination.
Also, as history demonstrates, there is no permanent friends and enemy, and China could behave very differently tomorrow. At the same time, no country, including Russia and the US, wants India to be a dominant global power. Therefore, a fluid Asia-Pacific suits India as it can continue to be the balancing power.
I agree with nor totally but at least to 95% of statement
A zero-sum game of choices only applies when a world war like situation erupts.

The answer for India lies within. The country needs to get its act together. Unite the people rather than divide and work hard and fast to building the country's strengths immediately. Today the population is so divided that we can fall like a pack of cards.
Russia has been our partner in developing nuclear power plants & reactors (like in Kudankulam, Tarapur, ...). A change in strategy from Russia could affect the ongoing nuclear projects I believe 😶
The whole story is based on thinking that india is with the USA. It is too naive on your part that the govt and the foreign affairs don't know this. India is always open to friendship with every country.
Congress foreign policy is much balanced and non provocative compared to current regime.. Personally I believe economy is the best strategic policy. Cuz ones economic prowess determine everything.. And sorry to say India's current situation is like( thotha channa baaje ghanna)
India has done greatest mistake by aligning with USA. It will ultimately lead to disintegration of India as a country. US doesn't have a history of having not eaten up its own allies that it needed for its geostrategic interests.
World politics is not a cricket match where there is Team A and Team B. Russia has been a very close friend of India and will remain so for years to come. Quad or no Quad. Russia will never act against the interests of India even if some sections want it to. International relations is always about delicate balance of interests. As far as Pakistan is concerned, it is nothing but a big burden on everyone. No one will carry it for a long time.
There is no friendship between countries Russia even don’t see India as friend Russia want only sell weapons to India for money Russia also sell weapons to Pakistan and China too

1. India looks like it’s punching below it’s weight class (as opposed to Qatar who punches up). Yes India depends on Russia for weapons but so does Russia for $. If India walks away, who will make up the shortfall? Not China, they manufacture their own, Pakistan does not have the finances for that, none of the NATO or EU countries. Other than fossil fuels that only other meaningful export that Russia has.
2. It looks like India will have to stop sitting on the fence and commit to a formalized/strong partnership with the US. The dynamic between Pakistan, Russia and China is going to get stronger for the foreseeable future. Indian needs a counterbalance.
3. Finally the right in the US is speaking Russian talking points, look at Tucker Carlson asking why should the US support Ukraine instead of Russia. The left is United in opposing authoritarians like Putin and Xi.
@Vinamra Singhai India and America are natural partners, there are many shared beliefs. Also support for India is mostly bipartisan in the US. The actions of our countries in this decade will shape geopolitics for a very long time.
America has never been a trusted partner.
@@SkpalTube let’s get real, nations act in their self interest and collaborate when their interest align. That’s how global diplomacy works.
Shared belief of them being superior and you inferior.
Since China joined WTO in 2001, over the last 20 years USA GDP has increased by 12 trillion US dollars, while China has increased by 15 trillion USD. USA has benefited a lot from the cost effective goods manufactured by China, and hence USA citizens had been able to enjoy high salary and cost effective Chinese goods until the Trade War initiated by Trump. In other words, USA accepted China in WTO for their own benefit, not for their mercy towards China. But for China, Americans weren't able to enjoy the good lives in the past 20 years.
Bharats need wonder why even today under the trade war between USA and China, western investors still prefer to invest in China than in India? Like minded democracies don't like India?
Only way to bring back Russian close to our heart is "Mera juta hai Japani ....sir per laal topi Rusi" by legendary film maker Raj kapoor. With the end coat " Hindi Chinni bhai bhai"
Yesterday i saw Indian RW trolling srk over lata mangeshkar funeral. Indian RW that is in power will sink India by pitting the 80% majority against the 20% minority in a geographical area that is not big enough to even hold half of its population. When US, China, Russia , UK get into a meeting room to discuss syria on the sidelines of some world forum, Modi is usually seen lecturing goras on yoga, vasudeva kutumbakam blah blah somewhere else. Indians can get their 2 minute pleasure release by equating pak to lux etc.
Well put 😅
It wasn't India's mistake in joining quad infact India is being used by US. The mentality of the Indian leadership is that they are still govern by the West.
I wonder if India can stand up to the US the way China can. It reflects the power they hold in the world. India should at this point focus on Indo-China border issues than that of the US interest of SC sea... and India should strongly focus on Indian economy. If you have money, you have power. Don’t imagine peace at the end of a war... India should stick with diplomacy to deal with the border issues and since India has the capability of becoming a rich country in terms of gdp, so economic growth is the most important for India i would say. Just my humble opinion.
India stopped importing oil from Iran in mid-2019 following sanctions on the Persian Gulf nation by the Trump administration. You think China ever stopped importing oil from Iran and US ever said anything about it?
Xiucheng Mu US is a bully. US is bullying Nepal to accept MCC... Nepal might become another US military base
