Excellent CTC episode. SG has made a fine art of interviewing. And remarkable professionalism from the General, every after so many years of retirement. Look at how he handled the political questions. India owes its sustained democracy to this discipline of its armed forces, unlike those in the neighbourhood.
We need to buy our time to develop the infrastructure on the borders, arming ourselves with the right kind of advanced weaponry and above all strengthen our economy in the medium & long term. Economic might can only help us in good stead.
Absolutely, we need time exactly my thought. Time is the most important thing along with theatre commands. We need to buy time in order to stand a chance against Chinese.
What an officer, Gen VP Malik saab. Shekhar sir and Gen saab's interaction sets the standard for how interviews should be taken. Great work as always, Shekhar sir. Massive respect.
I have read General Malik's book on Kargil. He has frankly admitted the lapses that happened during the initial stages of war and the remarkable recovery and achievements by the army. He is a very professional and credible man.
The General says that during Congress Govt, the policy was [i] of compromise, not to confront China but to cooperate hoping that it will give us peace & tranquility, and [ii] rather negligent in developing border infrastructure. See from 28:00 minutes onward.
After this CTC, we need to understand clearly that we can never take back POK and Aksai Chin and parts of Ladakh lost to China. There can only be some border settlement. In particular, our effective control line on China side is way inside our official map of 1954. What we have is a right to patrol beyond our effective control line for a few kilometers but that is much less than our official map borders. Hence, while our Parliament resolution and whatever Amit Shah said in 2019 apart, we need to prepare public opinion clearly for this reality. Under Modi, no land has been transgressed where we had effective control but transgression was in the LAC part. We have lost effectively some 40 thousand square kms after 1962 and some more within the LAC area till 2013. In Pangang So, we have now pushed Chinese back to April 2020. That's it! So let us all be practical and defend what we have resolutely and hope for a settlement in due course. Thanks General for making this clear to SG and other sickulars in this CTC. Hope Rahul watches (and understands) this!!!!
A good day for me today.Watched Karan Thapar Interviews with Mr Jahangir Qazi And Salman Bashir,both High Commissoners of Pakistan in India and Foreign Secretaries of their country.The interviews covered the same questions,namely the ceasefire agreement between the two countries and J&K.Very interesting,frank and articulate..All appreciation for the manner in which General Saheb has covered Shekar Guptas questions.Very clear,free of bombastic claims and articulate.All credit to TheWire&The Print.Thanks.
Can you please improve the quality of the sound in your videos ? If you are an online / YT news platform, you cannot have such bad sound for your viewers. Please invest a little.
It is time that India develops its economy and become a first world country.This automatically gives us enough funds to develop our armed forces by reducing manpower and bringing in people who stay at home and contribute to the armed forces through their intelligence.We should develop new tools to fight a war which could debilitate or paralyse a country thus warning them the capability without using material force.In this aspect we should go beyond cyber wars of the current by developing new forms like able to stop all moving objects in a country all at once thus hitting at a level that the enemy will think twice before making any move.The Indian mind is unique and we should develop for our needs than to be used by other countries.At present we are at the lowest level but the future is very bright for India.
But why do we have to hold on to Kashmir against the wishes of the people of Kashmir. Why do we want to colonize them and rule over them? Why cant let them rule themselves? Is it necessary to constantly brutalize them and rule with an iron hand? Where is our humanity and democratic values and posturing of the largest democracy and so on while Kashmir has no say in his own affairs. They are not coming to rule our UP or Bihar why do we want to rule over them. Truth? What rubbish. What about Indian leadership truth and trust. India could be wrong too!
What a contrast from panag A officer and gentleman in best tradition of the FAUJ. India should invest in drones and cyberwarfare . That's the new frontier. Also militarise bases in the 100 plus andaman islands. We need not build artificial islands Aircraft carrier is a white elephant and sinkable Missiles quick attack vessels and military bases in andamaan is key.
1st of all he was excellent officer ,secondly baap ke paise pe palne wale chutiye pehle khud toh kuch ban ja phir gen rawat sahab se khud ko compare karna...
General is afraid to say that depsang is our area....he is saying its a disputed area..he should know that Indian map shows whole of aksai chin as Indian territory.
Can we say the thing about Pakistan when @shekhar gupta asks the Gen " are they sitting in our territory?" The General says " it is disputed territory "
All these reports are failed to que the incompetence of these generals dur to which we lost so many brave heart. The more you read about kargil war the more you will held them responsible for the death of the brave soldiers
Shekhar Ji - seems some agenda is lying behind this interview, as you asked many detailed and nitty-gritty questions from your guests, which I strongly believe are not being asked by Naive people. We’re you trying to garner some information for Chinese PLA from the Malik sahab? All in all he said that he liked Mori Govt approach today and Kargil times, to fight the enemy (both times BJP Govt)!! Great job by GOI💪💪👍👏👏
I want General Malik to answer, is how long will we allow Pakistan the luxury of dictating terms on cross border issues like violating the ceasefire or promoting terrorism or fighting a proxy war. After 73 long years should we not say 'enough is enough'. Who calls the shots in that country is nobody's concern. It is their problem whether the civilian or military leadership should control the establishment. We do not want our peace or tranquility to be disturbed at any cost. Our policy on China too should be likewise. This is notwithstanding the fact that all three are nuclear powers.
With due respect..why are we still buying weapons from Russia, Israel, France and USA at the same time?? Don't they know these weapons were never designed to work together e.g. Fitting Israeli radar and jammer in Russian plane which instead of jamming enemy planes jams its own. Similarly buying limited rifles from different vendors..do they not understand economy of scale..and then crying there is shortage of funds.. how are they going to integrate our jugaad weaopns with American systems..these are topics that need to be discussed
@krunal panchal the problem with us Indians is that we were never taught to think critically..infact we are always discouraged to ask questions right from childhood..so when someone tries to raise awareness people like you resort to ad hominem..
India should invest in drones and cyberwarfare . That's the new frontier. Also militarise bases in the 100 plus andaman islands. We need not build artificial islands Aircraft carrier is a white elephant and sinkable Missiles quick attack vessels and military bases in andamaan is key.
So modiji with his look east policy engaging Xi was responsible for political strategy and not giving direction to our military. How will modiji treat Xi when Xi comes visiting again, after dagger in back Xi needs to be given some nice treatment.
Do we not have J&K border map of 1947 of erstwhile British India. Why can't we adher to that. Why we are in dilemma about our borders in North. Isn't by reiterating that we are not clear and have only perception of border in ladakh area we are supporting Chinese claim?
What do you think of Modi government's policy of retaliating against Pakistan in resonse to cross-border terrorism? Do you believe, is it succeedding in getting Pakistan to be more cautious in use of cross border terrorism?
with Pakistan we need to move strike formation to Punjab Lahore/pindi/Islamabad away from thar desert.put them under back foot. I doubt they will use nuke this close to establishment. Dont agree with this entire idea just because two side have nuke will fight limited war?
I still donot understand what world you guys live, even your Generals. "Pakistan has gone down", Pakistan has never gone down and will never go down, wake up guys. China has violated all those agreement, what India did ? India today has gone down , politically , militarily and economically. i am not saying this because i am a Pakistani but your own figures shows. Modi government is a blessing for Pakistan, Alhumdo Lillah.
Pakistan has gone down in terms of their capabilities?? Really? Well, you have seen Pakistan's capability on 27th of Feb as well on 26th of Feb when IAF Jets dropped their payloads onto our poor and innocent trees. You should listen to your defense analyst Praveen who owns a youtube channel by the name of Force Magazine, who with several other analysts of yours know Pakistan well than you Mr. Malik. No offence to the Indian public,because they don't know Pakistan well enough but your perception about Pakistan is somewhat "Naive". Peace!
Long story Short We can manage a low intensity Conflict PAk , have been doing it on and off since 1947. Army’s focused has moved to the Chinese So all equipment training Commands are China focused
Chutye, 27th feb was no even a proper skirmish. Shooting down a third generation jet is no achievement :3 In case of a full fledged war. Will Pakistan have the fuel reserves to fill it's machines? Does it has enough food reserves to carry on? War isn't fought via Machines :* Pakistan has negligible breadth, you really think Pakistan can sustain a war?
Excellent CTC episode. SG has made a fine art of interviewing. And remarkable professionalism from the General, every after so many years of retirement.

General Saab as humble as he always been ... we will always be indebted for his services...
1980: Trust, but verify
2020: Never trust, always verify.
Detailed security Analysis by General Malik. Made me proud once again by his composure, knowledge and articulation.
We need to buy our time to develop the infrastructure on the borders, arming ourselves with the right kind of advanced weaponry and above all strengthen our economy in the medium & long term. Economic might can only help us in good stead.
Absolutely, we need time exactly my thought.

I have read General Malik's book on Kargil. He has frankly admitted the lapses that happened during the initial stages of war and the remarkable recovery and achievements by the army. He is a very professional and credible man.
I am a great fan of Gen Malik....and he is ageing so well 👍
A very informative interview, he gave his honest opinion about the ground situation across LOC and LAC.
Feel good, proud and lucky to be here...Govt should take advantage of this mobile University (Gen. Malik} in governing...Thank you SG....
Right away u can feel the chemistry between the two
Your question, they are sitting on our area the answer is yes they are sitting on our area from 1962
I was as excited as Shekhar sir while watching the interview.
Such a nice interview. Great learning .
The General says that during Congress Govt, the policy was [i] of compromise, not to confront China but to cooperate hoping that it will give us peace & tranquility, and [ii] rather negligent in developing border infrastructure. See from 28:00 minutes onward.
Excellent pin pointed, latest, updated, authoritien views.
As usual Mr. Shekarji trying hard to get his words in Gen's mouth. But Gen. is dignified nd honest.

But i feel the wire invite bjp critics in most of the case, the print is very balanced.
Wire : news with ideology
Wonderful perspective, Gen. Malik Sir.. Thumbs up again to SG Sir👍
Thank you shekhar sir
This was a very nicely framed episode
& like this person a lot
Very very straightforward
& clear in talk & conduct
Nice interview. Something which is missing in Today's Television news Channels
Can you do one episode with Gen. V.K. Singh too ? :)
Great interview

Excellent interview.
One of the most soft spoken, articulate and knowledgeable man. Also the last General who lead our troops in a war.
Sir... would the outcome (time taken, casualties etc) of Kargil War be different if our forces were allowed to cross the LOC?
Fair point !! Especially Airforce was barred
Yes, there was an analysis on RUclips for this. Politically not a great decision though.
nicely done
Nice analysis by Our revered General.
True ❤️ journalism
But why do we have to hold on to Kashmir against the wishes of the people of Kashmir. Why do we want to colonize them and rule over them? Why cant let them rule themselves?

excellent interview 🌷 however question of Tibet's sovereignity had to be raised
What a contrast from panag
A officer and gentleman in best tradition of the FAUJ.
India should invest in drones and cyberwarfare .
That's the new frontier.
Also militarise bases in the 100 plus andaman islands.
We need not build artificial islands
Aircraft carrier is a white elephant and sinkable
Missiles quick attack vessels and military bases in andamaan is key.
we have to look how we put fear in enemy.
1)strike formation in twang and another Indian navy fleet permanently deployed in South china sea.
So let's understand clearly that GBPOK is just a dream and not realistic. So just negotiate and reach an agreement. Offer elections as appropriate.
So nice
That’s how an army chief behaves .. bipin rawat was and still is a lappy!!
1st of all he was excellent officer ,secondly baap ke paise pe palne wale chutiye pehle khud toh kuch ban ja phir gen rawat sahab se khud ko compare karna...
@john Connor.. tu kuch bangaya abb tak? It’s true ke Chappal chaatna profession hogaya hai .. lekin you can do better .. wannabe terminator kid!!💂🏼♀️
General is afraid to say that depsang is our area....he is saying its a disputed area..he should know that Indian map shows whole of aksai chin as Indian territory.
What is your opinion about AKHAND Bharat concept current political leaders?can Indian defence forces achieve it?
The anchor reminds me of Asterix who has had a potion of druid's because of his body language...more animated than necessary!!!!!!
Can we say the thing about Pakistan when @shekhar gupta asks the Gen " are they sitting in our territory?"
The General says " it is disputed territory "
This general is a chu tiya.....because of him so many soldiers died in kargil.
All these reports are failed to que the incompetence of these generals dur to which we lost so many brave heart.
The more you read about kargil war the more you will held them responsible for the death of the brave soldiers
Shekhar Ji - seems some agenda is lying behind this interview, as you asked many detailed and nitty-gritty questions from your guests, which I strongly believe are not being asked by Naive people. We’re you trying to garner some information for Chinese PLA from the Malik sahab? All in all he said that he liked Mori Govt approach today and Kargil times, to fight the enemy (both times BJP Govt)!! Great job by GOI💪💪👍👏👏
what happened to your finger Shekhar sir??
I want General Malik to answer, is how long will we allow Pakistan the luxury of dictating terms on cross border issues like violating the ceasefire or promoting terrorism or fighting a proxy war. After 73 long years should we not say 'enough is enough'. Who calls the shots in that country is nobody's concern. It is their problem whether the civilian or military leadership should control the establishment. We do not want our peace or tranquility to be disturbed at any cost. Our policy on China too should be likewise. This is notwithstanding the fact that all three are nuclear powers.
That India had been following the previous China policy all these years shows the short-sightedness of the establishment. Poor to say the least.
With due respect..why are we still buying weapons from Russia, Israel, France and USA at the same time?? Don't they know these weapons were never designed to work together e.g. Fitting Israeli radar and jammer in Russian plane which instead of jamming enemy planes jams its own. Similarly buying limited rifles from different vendors..do they not understand economy of scale..and then crying there is shortage of funds.. how are they going to integrate our jugaad weaopns with American systems..these are topics that need to be discussed
They are dumb. You go.
@krunal panchal the problem with us Indians is that we were never taught to think critically..infact we are always discouraged to ask questions right from childhood..so when someone tries to raise awareness people like you resort to ad hominem..
The level of discussion is far from to compare to any one .
We can feel the chemistry between this two respected man in their respective fields.
India should invest in drones and cyberwarfare .
That's the new frontier.
Also militarise bases in the 100 plus andaman islands.
We need not build artificial islands
Aircraft carrier is a white elephant and sinkable
Missiles quick attack vessels and military bases in andamaan is key.
Indian export 300 billion dollars China export 2.6 trillion dollars jealous Indian for u
And your pakistan export 1 pakistani unit
So modiji with his look east policy engaging Xi was responsible for political strategy and not giving direction to our military. How will modiji treat Xi when Xi comes visiting again, after dagger in back Xi needs to be given some nice treatment.
Do we not have J&K border map of 1947 of erstwhile British India. Why can't we adher to that. Why we are in dilemma about our borders in North. Isn't by reiterating that we are not clear and have only perception of border in ladakh area we are supporting Chinese claim?
What do you think of Modi government's policy of retaliating against Pakistan in resonse to cross-border terrorism? Do you believe, is it succeedding in getting Pakistan to be more cautious in use of cross border terrorism?
with Pakistan we need to move strike formation to Punjab Lahore/pindi/Islamabad away from thar desert.put them under back foot.
I doubt they will use nuke this close to establishment.
Dont agree with this entire idea just because two side have nuke will fight limited war?
Pls give it a try.
@@romm2885 sure
Will the people who want to claim Aksi Chin back please stand up and comment now 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️..
The interview is too generic. All known and said multiple time. No depth no revelation. These are already understood and being said.
I still donot understand what world you guys live, even your Generals. "Pakistan has gone down", Pakistan has never gone down and will never go down, wake up guys. China has violated all those agreement, what India did ? India today has gone down , politically , militarily and economically. i am not saying this because i am a Pakistani but your own figures shows. Modi government is a blessing for Pakistan, Alhumdo Lillah.
I m telling you, you have a serious problem brother...take care...May your ONLY God bless you....
😂😂😂😂poarki
Most chutiatic General..... defensive mind set.
Pakistan has gone down in terms of their capabilities?? Really? Well, you have seen Pakistan's capability on 27th of Feb as well on 26th of Feb when IAF Jets dropped their payloads onto our poor and innocent trees. You should listen to your defense analyst Praveen who owns a youtube channel by the name of Force Magazine, who with several other analysts of yours know Pakistan well than you Mr. Malik. No offence to the Indian public,because they don't know Pakistan well enough but your perception about Pakistan is somewhat "Naive". Peace!
Long story Short We can manage a low intensity Conflict PAk , have been doing it on and off since 1947. Army’s focused has moved to the Chinese So all equipment training Commands are China focused
Then why are being in silence since 5th August 2019
We know your capabilities "tight sleep when PAF was awake "
And leg shaking and swearing
Chutye, 27th feb was no even a proper skirmish.
Shooting down a third generation jet is no achievement :3 In case of a full fledged war. Will Pakistan have the fuel reserves to fill it's machines? Does it has enough food reserves to carry on? War isn't fought via Machines :*
Pakistan has negligible breadth, you really think Pakistan can sustain a war?
You guys always stay in illusion
