Taliban are marcinaries lack basic education but the ones in field as soldiers under the fales and who trained them are highly educated military high rank.
So? What's the big deal? People are free to have and discuss their points of view. To allow opposite political positions to be discussed is one of the many strengths of democracies. Also, a few elite intellectuals (most of them living in big Indian cities or in foreign countries) having a conference against Hindutva wouldn't influence or effect the vast majority of Indians who would never watch that conference anyway. Most Indians will never listen to them or will never read their literature, so what's the big deal if they organize such a conference? If anything, these conferences are already useless as they never really influence public opinion. So just let them organize it. It won't make much difference anyway
I am not sure what you mean by GLOBAL Hindutva; Is not only India, Bangladesh and Nepal are the only countries with Significant Hindu population? Hinduism does not have significant presence in other countries among the natives.
Gupta ji, When Mohammad got defeat ,he made a treaty not to fight but after two years he again attacked and won.The basic nature radical political Islam never dies but can change its behaviour for the time being .
China is tackling the threat of terrorism in much more humane way than how the West, India or India has dealt with. No bombing, no water boarding, no execution (except in cases where terrorists carried out destructive activities) no drone attacks just plain re-education and skills development to make the would be terrorists productive citizens. The world should learn from that.
@@akhiljames3435 If we accept your charge of severe persecution then how is it any different from what is being done by US NATO, Israel and India? Why so much anger & resentment over what China is doing? Look in the mirror. All we have found out is that Uighurs coming out of the "detention camps" are eager to make their lives better and not developing radical tendencies. There is peace and prosperity in Xinjiang province like in rest of China. Tourists returning are coming with a positive views. We don't hear the same from people returning from the Middle East under occupation or totally destroyed (Iraq, Syria Libya, Yemen, West Bank & Gaza) and Kashmir.
@@akhiljames3435 None of those reports is proven. If there is any, show me a source that can be verified. But for the sake of commonsense, there are almost 10M of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Under a so-called systematic prosecution, some even insisted that genocide is taking place. But no refugee at all. Saw what happened in Afghanistan when the Taliban took over, refugees! People trying to flee the country. Do you see that in Xinjiang? I don't. Instead of trying to flee, the Uyghurs seem pretty happy and thriving economically.
@@akhiljames3435 There are reports of severe persecution of Kashmiris. Is that true? There are reports of severe persecution of Palestinians in Israeli prisons. Is that true? We all know about Guantanamo Bay & Abu Ghuraib prison tortures. Today we also learned about Bagram Base prison in Afghanistan.
Self-interest always takes priority over ideology. India has banned beef throughout most of the states which is ideology but India is also world's 3rd or 4th largest beef exporter which is self-interest.
Imagine not knowing difference between a cow and a buffalo. Buffalo has no religious significance for Hindus. India is one of the largest exporters of buffalo meat. Many hindus eat buffalo meat. A very bad example.
"India's trade with China in the first half of 2021 rose by a record 62.7% - the highest increase among China's major trade partners - with total two-way trade surpassing the pre-pandemic levels. Two-way trade after six months was $57.48 billion, the highest on record for the first half.(13 Jul 2021)". Despite the plenty hate talk relating to China, business is as usual. Lol.
Yes, India wants to look down on China and spread the same lies as the USA and GB. And at the same time, they want to earn as much money on China. Hypocrisy as usual.
Generally this episode of CTC gives us some unusual inputs. Many thanks. But I am afraid that to treat Taliban as not Islamist force would be a mistake. Now they may want money as they have ruling power over Afghanistan with no money. Taliban being an amorphous force of divergent factions, the possibility of some factions working against China, and other non-Muslim countries can’t be discounted. Taliban people have been brainwashed in Pakistani madrasahs. They won’t shed their Islamic bend of mind so easily.
Hi Sir, great piece again. I request you to do a CTC on India's current approach towards afghanistan. Many have admired the current government's wait and watch policy while many have criticised them as India have been left out of key negotiations like recently held Troika. Now with talks being held between our NSA and other foreign counterparts, its getting even more difficult to understand what India and allies are trying and should do in the long term. Also, if you can shed some light on how NATO countries are looking at India because it seems we are the only large enough ally in the region. A CTC is much needed Sir.
Shekhar was among first to say that India should leave Taliban to itself for now! There's nothing much we can do right now anyway. So whether you criticise or you praise is just a political thing, there's no point of that as there is no other option with India anyway. Going ahead, I think India would go along with the opinion which other countries build on Taliban. Everyone is waiting right now! There's a question about future of Indian investments there, that too will depend on how Taliban (read Pakistan) reacts, in short, right now the ball is in their court. As of the NATO question, you rightly said that they need a partner in region which can balance China, that's apparent from the progress which has been made in QUAD. The long term effects of Covid-19 induced economic shock are still to play out, but no major threat to economy is being expected right now. Though world has started to take notice of China's posturing in various theatres and they realise that China's rise could be a strategic challenge. So I believe the NATO, especially USA will keep growing close to India slowly. The relationship is also very natural because we have a lot in common, even more so in age of internet. This is an American company on which we are having this conversation and it's CEO is Indian. That should explain the nature of relationship between India and West. I'm not Shekhar Gupta but this is what I thought and felt like sharing it.
@@ABCD-cw4nc The point is Modi (or any other PM) can be changed by Indians if they want. Xi jinping cannot be changed. Whether angel or monster, they are stuck with him for the rest of his life.

That will never happen. China will try to undermine India any chance it gets. This is because only US and India are standing in the way of global Chinese dictatorship domination.
You non Muslims Hate against Muslims is crazy, you will start loving your murderer as soon as u find out they are against muslim. sad but you will all lose, try it.
Mr Gupta, here's something you and Farid Zakaria have been missing or glossing over: Islam has an unofficial caste system in which Muslims of Turkish or Arab origin are superior and others inferior. This notion brought about the alienation of East Pakistan/Bangladesh. It lives on, as you will see if you follow responses to Ertugrul. In other words, Uighurs are expendable. Also, there was a Pew Research survey of Islamic countries a few years ago that said that the vast majority of Muslims are pro-Shariah. This was a few years ago and I'm not sure it was ever repeated, but a repear now is likely to throw up a few surprises. Finally, there are strong and increasingly vocal pro-Shariah groups in most countries that have significant immigrant Muslim populations. All in all, I think you're presenting an oversimplified and perhaps sanitized view of the Taliban and of the Islamic world. If you do happen to read this, I hope you have a wider-ranging Cut the Clutter episode on these issues soon.
You have wasted your valuable time doing awful research of no sense. Hindu has Hinduvta and cast system whereas Muslim has no high/low level. You have to read some good scholar books for more clarity.
@@kaaaah2003 caste system exists among muslims in south asia. In Afghanistan muslims of different ethnicities have been fighting for years like Pashtuns vs Tajiks Hazaras. And in the Middle East Shia and Sunni muslims fight against each other.
Except you seem to forget that the Uyghurs are a Turkic people (i.e. from among the tribes of the Turks). So that would go counter to your theory that the Uyghurs are expendable since they don't originate from Arab or Turkish origin.
Like all modern countries, China does not mix religion with politics. And today is the best friend of the Taliban. Perhaps India needs to learn from China and create a Win-Win situation as China has done.
There’s no Uighur separatism, Uighurs not trying to split any part of china, just tell chinese to go back to yellow river from East Turkestan, Same as Mongols , Tibets
China has done much better by keeping religion within the confines of the house. I wish India does the same to become a dominant power in the 21 st century.
@@mohanrao6: A recent PEW ( American) survey showed that 87% of Chinese are happy with CCP and see a better future for their children while a similar survey done in America showed only 27 % were happy with their democracy. Moreover, what is the point in having elections when the Hindi Heartland votes on the basis of caste & religion and not issues the society is facing? Our democracy is today highjacked by Plutocrats. Chinese political system is based on Meritocracy and is not a dictatorship where the average IQ of a CCP member is above 120.

It's indeed intriguing to listen to this analysis arrive to the conclusion about the islamists being more about the power than about the ideology...i don't think anyone is surprised, socialism, communism everything is always about power...Christianity was about power when the romans just imposed it to unite the nation (not because they loved Jesus)... It's here that a manner of living in Hinduism scores far and wide... We have survived these escapades for power and we will continue to because Hinduism makes me closer to me
The petty princes in India used to be at constant warefare in the past and would seek help, invite foreign powers to help them defeat their enemies which made those foreign powers eventually capture and rule India. There was no such thing called religion first... even though there is nothing called religion in so called Hinduism, but hundred different culture, people and kingdoms with their own practices and custom which may or may not be similar to others!
Please do not mislead the Title. In fact, China crushed the Terrorists funded by America and re-educated them ; very fair game! On the other hand, how America handled the terrorism though they are the creator as well. They use bullets and bombs to destroy. World witnesses instead of decreasing the terrorism , we see sharp increase in the number of terrorisms all over the world. If you are honest how India handles the Kashmiri and North eastern issues, you will surely give your justification. India simply crushed them inhuman ways. Please go to Xinjiang province - get the first hand information, okay ! And about the Taliban, china has categorically mentioned either Foe or Friend depends on how Taliban governs the country. Please try to appreciate CHINA, you guys are really sick, your master America has been bullying and threatening the world and you still worship your master as hero- caretaker. Your master has already realized and rang up Xi Jinping to about lifting the ban and start a new journey of cooperation. Why you make hue and cry - you are wasting your time, you are not doing sincerely for the betterment of your people. You simply bark human right, human right, human right ! See in your India, so many people are under the poverty, so many slums, everywhere dirt, homeless, deprived of basic foods, noise pollution, environment pollution, aren't these things human right abuses ? You have been independent for 74 years, what India has been doing? You can not decide yourself, like Australia, you guys are puppets of America. Learn from China , how they sincerely think and act about their people, now the people of China are getting the benefits. Instead of learning , you are criticizing, you wont get anything as long as India is Anti-China. Let's not do bad politics, I know India has potential and it remains potential for too long. Let us do constructive competition with China not the other way, okay.
The simplest argument to say , "it is about power and cash," not about Islam is, which law in sharia allows TLBNs do narcotic trade, extortions. The most powerful religion in the world is money.

They are doing the correct things. A strong nation needs a complete unification, unlike what we see in India. We can't become a world prominent power unless like them we vanquish all the dividing factors in our country, particularly religion. Religions divide people more than it unify.
China is based. Everyday I see our banana republic dumbocracy in action , I become more sympathetic towards the Chinese model. The average Chinese citizen has had a greater increase in functional freedom when compared to the average indian citizen purely because of economic development .
Let’s not adopt the bad side of China. We need more economic freedom not less political freedom. Let’s strive to do what Taiwan has done economically. The average Taiwanese is several times richer than the average chinese while still maintaining democracy.
@@MrThebeand So water balloon fight negates freedoms ? No. It’s the same reason why Hong Kong developed so much under the British because it had democratic freedoms. Look what’s happening now with Chinese crackdown. A lot of Hong Kongers are fleeing to London on BN(o) visa.

Very insightful and knowledgeable sir, thanks a lot. One thing we have to acknowledge is how obsessively Chinese work towards their interests year over year which is unseen in any democratic country I know of. Democracies are always (almost) distracted by domestic fights, next election win etc etc. Not that i support China style government but hope we learn from this aspect and correct ourselves.
Ashoka launched an assault to conquer Kalinga during 265 B.C. and the battle of Kalinga became a turning point in his life. Ashoka personally led the conquest and secured victory. On his orders, the whole of province was plundered, cities were destroyed and thousands of people were killed.
@@RahulSharma-jm9ir So, don't be abusive to Muslims ruler of India or this region? Why are you obsessed with the Muslims, Pakistan and now Afghanistan. You don't understand this region very well. Tribal system
He is still revered by Indians among 100s if king is for what he did and what he became after the war. Had MD gori became a Sufi we Indian would have called him great. But if all Muslim rulers only Akbar is called great in India. Funny enough Pak will never name a missileon Akbar but only on the names of plundered mass murderer. Akbar was a lesser Muslim he didn't believe in Islam and that's why he had empathy and greatness
Pls note Ashoka never killed in the name of any stupid religion. Non combatants were never harmed. The fight was only for land whic every country had,. By the way tell me which Islamic country has real peace. Saudis are fighting the houthis every day
Shekhar, the fate of nations are etched in fallacies of the people who ru(i)n them! The fate of Afghanistan is already etched as the next theatre of uncertainity! The only sane thing we can do and must do is focus on our priorities and let our institutions rise to the challenge as and when they come! The global arms business always needs a pocket of uncertainilty to thrive, they just created one!
Shekhar Gupta Sir have a very easy way to communicate with his audience, and I admire him for that. I wish we had such awesome school teachers, and I bet, India would have already been a SUPER-POWER, by now : )
How can Qatar’s support for Taliban be explained by your thesis. Similarly Turkey also seems to be supporting the Taliban. While Saudi & UAE are not supporting them anymore, other Islamic countries are. What explains their support for such a radical regime, don't they fear blowback? While I agree with the china Taliban relationship, I find it hard to agree with the first part of your thesis, that Islamic countries don't want the Taliban
Very well presented Mr Gupta, just wanted to clarify the name of Australian Prime Minister is Scott Morrison not Tony Morrison. You might have mixed up with former Prime Minister Tony Abbot.
Why can't Islam be followed in local language and local attire. That sounds to me as true secularism. Why succumbing to foreign influence and interference is needed to follow any religion.
As Sir Humphrey would put it perfectly - Government policies and political ideologies have nothing to do with facts. Add religious ideology to that list as well and it still holds true.
You got it. Here too the govt of the Taliban may talk and deal power and money, but to carry its ' faithful warriors' with it, it will require ideology too. And that is where Humpty Dumpty will have a great fall.
Dear SG, I think you have got too carried away by your thesis. Indeed what you say is true for the Taliban government and even more so for the Chinese. Govts talk and act for power and pelf. However, the common Afghan soldier is too seeped into Islamism and connected to the other parts of the Islamic world to go along with this ' death of ideology' scenario. He will keep quiet only for some time and at that not too long Thereafter Humpty Dumpty will have a great fall. Mark my words
Palestine didn't even found a mention in this CTC, although the show almost skirted pass the Arab-Israel deal. Additionally, these Gulf countries also don't dare to speak up against atrocities on Uighurs. These two points also further solidify the argument made in the video. As they say, Cash is the king.
Why Shekar Gupta stands out from other journalist is the rare abillity of story telling. Its not the only about journalism, its about story telling. Suspense thriller type. With Indian Masala Tea flavour.
Can you plz do a CTC on NEET and on TN passing a law to bypass NEET and can other states follow to make the exam redundant. Also, please elaborate on if NEET its effect (is it good or bad) as far as the medical and health sector of India is concerned. Thanks.
For Taliban, Pakistan etc religion is nothing infront of Money .. they are greedy and have no values.. tomorrow china can build public toilet in madrassa still Pakistan will be fine...because Money...
After close observations of some of the scenarios I am came to the conclusion that if you can control a few powerful people from a certain community/group with any means you have at your disposal, you can create a false illusion of their true enemies as their wellwishers and their wellwishers as their enemies. It doesn't really matter what's the ground reality. Few examples : Muslims in case of Sikhs. China in case of Muslims. Communists in case of western Christians. Muslims again in some states of India like Kerala and West-Bengal.
Please be correct! China didn't crush Islam; China is preventing terrorism in it's border. China respect all religion, and the internal affair of all nations.
Mulla Zaeef served jail time at Gitmo. China, Pakistan, Russia, Iran and Turkey were invited on 10th September when the deputy spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid announced the “New Taliban” ministers.
Closer home in my city of Kolkata a mosque has come up surreptitiously in my locality (Kasba, Bosepukur) and the Azan keeps blaring five times a day. As a citizen living in the locality, I find it disturbing and can do nothing about it. It would be interesting to have Mr Gupta speak about loudspeakers in Mosques and why it has to be in Arabic which nobody, even Muslims, don’t understand.
China doesn't necessarily crush Islam (you meant the Muslims?) but the Uyghur separatists seeking independence. There are millions of Muslims all accross China and they are living with similar rights as any other Chinese nationals!
If China insists that its Muslims are to pray in Chinese only and not in Arabic,its dismissed as merely as Deislamisation of Islam,and not acceptable. What to make if the Tamil Nadu Govt,stating that Tamil prayers are alone to be heard in temples? And the High Court has said Sanskrit should not be the language in temple--- is this not violation of the temple culture for Hindus?
I don't see any surprises here... China has no interest in Islam and Taliban has no interest in Communist way..... but they have common enemies and opportunities to exploit. So wasn't this expected?
Chinese and Americans are pragmatic...while they have completely controlled Islam in their home, in international arena they are still able to deal with them fruitfully....whereas in India it's just the opposite...while Islam is flourishing in its all forms inside India in every corners, in international arena we are least given importance by Islamic or other countries !!
Re: The Taliban can protect China from radical Islam. During the American evacuation from the airport ISIS-K conducted a bombing. 13 Americans killed, 20 Taliban and 150 Afghan civilians. That Taliban with it's capacity to infiltrate and communicate with the Afghan population was not able to prevent this atrocity. Similarly with the murder of 90 schoolgirls a few months ago. What plausible guarantee are they going to give to China?
@Shekhar Ji: Could you please do a CTC episode on Chinese Intelligence Sevices. There is no news of them. Also, if you could cover any incidents or stories in relations with India as well.
Used to think you were fair in your comments. The line “ China crushes Islam…. “ is a sad reminder that you in India are so blinded by hate that you now intentionally use “ Islam” instead of “ Muslim”. Shekhar, “ Islam “ is a way of life - how does one crush an idea ?
China crush Islam in China. And Taliban crush Islam in Afghanistan. Both are extreme in their Idiolog. One thing should be clear Muslims can be crushed not Islam.
Mr S Gupta I can understand that your analysis has to be influenced by the view point of Indian establishment and strategic interests in particular against China Pakistan and Taliban. You are experienced in twisting the facts to your advantage..You mentioned about changes in structure of a mosque in China. What about demolition of BABARI mosque in India. And Pakistan is happy that Taliban are in control only and only because India was there to only and only Hurt Pakistan through RAW TTP etc. Let us talk about what option do Taliban have in current geopolitical regional climate. USA and western countries are extremely hurt by this misadventure of theirs in Afghanistan and has frozen their funds in retaliation or otherwise. In this situation if China comes to their rescue then why not to choose a partner that is also a neighbour and do not have criminal history of invading other countries for oil mineral etc.and don't make local people their slaves. You gave example of Saudi Arabia and UAE while ignoring as to how humane they are to their women and those who dare to disagree with them...I don't need to further explain as I expect you are intelligent enough though choose to ignore....

You hate or judge China. But you can't deny achievement of China. They went from 40 million dying from famine to a superpower which pulled billions of people from poverty to middle income. And even beating US, and creating neo imperialism.
It has not to do with a specific country, it is about what we can do to maximize our potential by using whatever the tune of the music or book “they” understand. Comparing one model in a different environment will have no tangiable impact.

Please do a CTC episode on the recent controversy around "Dismantling Global Hindutva" conference in the US. Thank you.
So? What's the big deal? People are free to have and discuss their points of view. To allow opposite political positions to be discussed is one of the many strengths of democracies.
Also, a few elite intellectuals (most of them living in big Indian cities or in foreign countries) having a conference against Hindutva wouldn't influence or effect the vast majority of Indians who would never watch that conference anyway. Most Indians will never listen to them or will never read their literature, so what's the big deal if they organize such a conference? If anything, these conferences are already useless as they never really influence public opinion.
So just let them organize it. It won't make much difference anyway

China is tackling the threat of terrorism in much more humane way than how the West, India or India has dealt with.

Generally this episode of CTC gives us some unusual inputs. Many thanks.
But I am afraid that to treat Taliban as not Islamist force would be a mistake. Now they may want money as they have ruling power over Afghanistan with no money. Taliban being an amorphous force of divergent factions, the possibility of some factions working against China, and other non-Muslim countries can’t be discounted. Taliban people have been brainwashed in Pakistani madrasahs. They won’t shed their Islamic bend of mind so easily.
Time will tell how much money and modernity entices them.
Shia clerics also ruled with Islamic zeal at first 10 yrs then after that it's over for them taliban will also meet same fate
True. Atleast its lower ranks would not shed this ideology off.
I think when he says Taliban, he means the leadership. It's like the politicians will shake hands while soldiers get killed. Justtop management things
Hi Sir, great piece again. I request you to do a CTC on India's current approach towards afghanistan. Many have admired the current government's wait and watch policy while many have criticised them as India have been left out of key negotiations like recently held Troika. Now with talks being held between our NSA and other foreign counterparts, its getting even more difficult to understand what India and allies are trying and should do in the long term. Also, if you can shed some light on how NATO countries are looking at India because it seems we are the only large enough ally in the region. A CTC is much needed Sir.
India's options are very very limited. Safe to say that we have been the biggest losers in the great Afghan game
Shekhar was among first to say that India should leave Taliban to itself for now! There's nothing much we can do right now anyway. So whether you criticise or you praise is just a political thing, there's no point of that as there is no other option with India anyway. Going ahead, I think India would go along with the opinion which other countries build on Taliban. Everyone is waiting right now! There's a question about future of Indian investments there, that too will depend on how Taliban (read Pakistan) reacts, in short, right now the ball is in their court.
As of the NATO question, you rightly said that they need a partner in region which can balance China, that's apparent from the progress which has been made in QUAD. The long term effects of Covid-19 induced economic shock are still to play out, but no major threat to economy is being expected right now. Though world has started to take notice of China's posturing in various theatres and they realise that China's rise could be a strategic challenge. So I believe the NATO, especially USA will keep growing close to India slowly. The relationship is also very natural because we have a lot in common, even more so in age of internet. This is an American company on which we are having this conversation and it's CEO is Indian. That should explain the nature of relationship between India and West.
I'm not Shekhar Gupta but this is what I thought and felt like sharing it.
Good suggestion
Sometimes strategic silence and patience itself is the best strategy. We don't have to always respond.

Mr Gupta, here's something you and Farid Zakaria have been missing or glossing over: Islam has an unofficial caste system in which Muslims of Turkish or Arab origin are superior and others inferior. This notion brought about the alienation of East Pakistan/Bangladesh. It lives on, as you will see if you follow responses to Ertugrul.
In other words, Uighurs are expendable.
Also, there was a Pew Research survey of Islamic countries a few years ago that said that the vast majority of Muslims are pro-Shariah. This was a few years ago and I'm not sure it was ever repeated, but a repear now is likely to throw up a few surprises.
Finally, there are strong and increasingly vocal pro-Shariah groups in most countries that have significant immigrant Muslim populations.
All in all, I think you're presenting an oversimplified and perhaps sanitized view of the Taliban and of the Islamic world.
If you do happen to read this, I hope you have a wider-ranging Cut the Clutter episode on these issues soon.
You have wasted your valuable time doing awful research of no sense. Hindu has Hinduvta and cast system whereas Muslim has no high/low level. You have to read some good scholar books for more clarity.
@@kaaaah2003 caste system exists among muslims in south asia. In Afghanistan muslims of different ethnicities have been fighting for years like Pashtuns vs Tajiks Hazaras. And in the Middle East Shia and Sunni muslims fight against each other.
@@neutronstar5544 This is not cast system. War of economics and differences of Islamics school of thoughts.
@@kaaaah2003 these fake fake experts of Islam have zero clue about Islam!
Except you seem to forget that the Uyghurs are a Turkic people (i.e. from among the tribes of the Turks). So that would go counter to your theory that the Uyghurs are expendable since they don't originate from Arab or Turkish origin.
Like all modern countries, China does not mix religion with politics. And today is the best friend of the Taliban. Perhaps India needs to learn from China and create a Win-Win situation as China has done.
Just like Egypt has concerns about Islamic brotherhood, similarly China has concerns about Uyghur separatists.
There’s no Uighur separatism, Uighurs not trying to split any part of china, just tell chinese to go back to yellow river from East Turkestan, Same as Mongols , Tibets

Please do not mislead the Title. In fact, China crushed the Terrorists funded by America and re-educated them ; very fair game! On the other hand, how America handled the terrorism though they are the creator as well. They use bullets and bombs to destroy. World witnesses instead of decreasing the terrorism , we see sharp increase in the number of terrorisms all over the world. If you are honest how India handles the Kashmiri and North eastern issues, you will surely give your justification. India simply crushed them inhuman ways. Please go to Xinjiang province - get the first hand information, okay ! And about the Taliban, china has categorically mentioned either Foe or Friend depends on how Taliban governs the country.

Same logic as why Indian muslims support Pakisthan and Talibans, but not Afgans or Uigurs
@Cyberpunk 1977 Not all Afgans are Talibans. If Uighur card is played by west and India, Kasmir card is played by Pakisthan and China.

They are doing the correct things. A strong nation needs a complete unification, unlike what we see in India. We can't become a world prominent power unless like them we vanquish all the dividing factors in our country, particularly religion. Religions divide people more than it unify.

Indeed what you say is true for the Taliban government and even more so for the Chinese. Govts talk and act for power and pelf. However, the common Afghan soldier is too seeped into Islamism and connected to the other parts of the Islamic world to go along with this ' death of ideology' scenario.

After close observations of some of the scenarios I am came to the conclusion that if you can control a few powerful people from a certain community/group with any means you have at your disposal, you can create a false illusion of their true enemies as their wellwishers and their wellwishers as their enemies.

Sir I request you for a CTC on mysterious fever prevailing in Uttar Pradesh
Why is it being termed as mysterious
Closer home in my city of Kolkata a mosque has come up surreptitiously in my locality (Kasba, Bosepukur) and the Azan keeps blaring five times a day. As a citizen living in the locality, I find it disturbing and can do nothing about it. It would be interesting to have Mr Gupta speak about loudspeakers in Mosques and why it has to be in Arabic which nobody, even Muslims, don’t understand.
India crushing islam at home but they called afghan brothers before taliban takeover... Hypocrisy at its finest. 😂
Most of the criticism is unfair (except Kashmir maybe)
China doesn't necessarily crush Islam (you meant the Muslims?) but the Uyghur separatists seeking independence. There are millions of Muslims all accross China and they are living with similar rights as any other Chinese nationals!
They have a much higher living, social, educational and health standards than India.
If China insists that its Muslims are to pray in Chinese only and not in Arabic,its dismissed as merely as Deislamisation of Islam,and not acceptable.
What to make if the Tamil Nadu Govt,stating that Tamil prayers are alone to be heard in temples? And the High Court has said Sanskrit should not be the language in temple--- is this not violation of the temple culture for Hindus?
China isn't into religion. The key word is SECURITY.
I don't see any surprises here... China has no interest in Islam and Taliban has no interest in Communist way..... but they have common enemies and opportunities to exploit. So wasn't this expected?
Chinese and Americans are pragmatic...while they have completely controlled Islam in their home, in international arena they are still able to deal with them fruitfully....whereas in India it's just the opposite...while Islam is flourishing in its all forms inside India in every corners, in international arena we are least given importance by Islamic or other countries !!
Bro, sermons or khutbah in Chinese language is not new, you clearly don't know Hui Chinese Muslim culture
Re: The Taliban can protect China from radical Islam. During the American evacuation from the airport ISIS-K conducted a bombing. 13 Americans killed, 20 Taliban and 150 Afghan civilians.
That Taliban with it's capacity to infiltrate and communicate with the Afghan population was not able to prevent this atrocity. Similarly with the murder of 90 schoolgirls a few months ago.

Mr S Gupta I can understand that your analysis has to be influenced by the view point of Indian establishment and strategic interests in particular against China Pakistan and Taliban. You are experienced in twisting the facts to your advantage..You mentioned about changes in structure of a mosque in China. What about demolition of BABARI mosque in India. And Pakistan is happy that Taliban are in control only and only because India was there to only and only Hurt Pakistan through RAW TTP etc. Let us talk about what option do Taliban have in current geopolitical regional climate. USA and western countries are extremely hurt by this misadventure of theirs in Afghanistan and has frozen their funds in retaliation or otherwise. In this situation if China comes to their rescue then why not to choose a partner that is also a neighbour and do not have criminal history of invading other countries for oil mineral etc.and don't make local people their slaves.
You gave example of Saudi Arabia and UAE while ignoring as to how humane they are to their women and those who dare to disagree with them...I don't need to further explain as I expect you are intelligent enough though choose to ignore....
Taliban should ignore India for prosecuting Muslim minorities and let India marginalized minorities. This is ur proposal. Why Indian r so fearful?
