Good one 👍👍🏻😂 very true. They are very emotion people
Another world for aspiring great power means = DREAMING.
Nothing wrong with the Indians' dreaming for or aspiring for becoming one of the most powerful countries in the world. Dreaming makes those creatures happy, anyhow.@@biggwong6912
India will have reached the status of great power when the US starts suppressing India 😅
Underrated comment 🎉
already a HYPAAR pawaar
It's already started. Western media has started to shift tone on India. In a few years, India will be as big of a "threat" as China is today.
Bharat should start with teaching the first truth about itself that it is a British creation. All other lies, continous wars within the country where a huge part of military is always deployed on its own people, weak loyalties of nations forced to live in the country, will always make it weak. Also control internal migration.
110% agree with you. India needs to be trustworthy and credible and not trying to play both sides... like joining the silly Quad and then playing the BRICS. Needs to grow a spine and stand up on its own and be beholden to America.
Mr Shawney you are truly an intellectual. If you would be the PM, I am sure India will have a better future
Whether India will be the next China is debatable or unforeseeable BUT one thing is certain ..US will be the next India in the near future...
WHAT A WAY TO GO... 😂😂😂

@keanphenglim5179 "INDIA IS A GLOBAL POWER!" ...
The same hostess BOASTED LOUDLY not too long ago. (I think you can still see it on RUclips video).
What happened at the "Rising Bharat Summit 2024" is that the eminent American Prof John Mearsheimer had mercilessly BUSTED her Fart-Inflated EGO in front of the world audience.
😊
A VERY HONEST ASSESSMENT. HE CALLS A SPADE A SPADE. A FEW REAL MAN LEFT IN INDIA! CONGRATULATION!
China took 30 years to develop with continuous strategy; quietly without wars, conflicts, etc. Now, it has become a power & able to deal with other countries too. Why cannot India do the same before it makes demands & is capable to deal with the rest of the world?
Primary reason is we are always at war with each other within the country based on the differences of caste, class, religion, region. Basically, crab mentality and sheep-foolishness.
Hinduism caste system supremacy.....Only few at the top the rest are slaves.....
because India has not purged its feudal oligarchs, and unless these are reigned in by law, it will corrupt everything that stands in its way.
China had the same issue, and it took a bloody revolution to do so.
The west has the same issue, it too is run by wealthy oligarchs, monarchs, lords and aristocrats. These oligarchs will continue to divide and pit one group against another, so called divide and rule.
China's Govt. is focused on the nation's future.
India's Govt. is focused on the politicians future.
Bcz China is a real country of 92% Han Chinese nation. While India is a f-ake country and mere an extension of British Indian empire which was created by forcefully occupying dozens of nations.
this guy knows so much about China's military capabilities that it's scary to a Chinese like me, yet he is the one argueing for peace.
Professor Mearsheimer said the US will help India as long as they need her to counter China, but will put a gun at her if she gets too powerful. I wonder why Mr. Pravin did not talk about that. I would like to get his views.
The Prof was truthful,whereas the host is scrounging for favour,what a pathetic scene
It's natural...why would the USA want another competitor to it?
@@IronMan-nu3rb that’s the reason Ukraine was made a pawn with intention to “weaken” Russia

India not following America's rules & orders against Russia is making a lot of Americans mad. The USA will likely bring "freedom and democracy" to India if India doesn't fall in line.

Yes absolutely agree. Dr Sawhney is an unbiased analyst, very rare. Many many Indians will brand him bias, even a traitor. Good example is right here in this thread. 😂
@@curryhousechicken❤😂😂😂😂
Mearsheimer is no expert in China or India. On some Russian topics he's ok. He's just making the alternative media rounds lately. Your analysis is much more informed than his.
Mearsheimer is like most western "experts" they are expert in projection, always thinking every body will behave like the west and if you don't, you're uncivilized.
...and I'm sure Palki is?
She is a journalist at best.
India is a great nation because of the great minds like Prof Swahney!
No no no. India is a great nation because of the great minds like Palki Sharma. Damn she is sexy as hell and smart. I got wood thinking of Palki Sharma.
He is no professor. I think he got kicked out of the Indian Army in 1977.
Great mind of Pravin Sawhney yes, great mind of modi he'll no
These are better answers by Mr Pavin Sawhney then what Prof Meatsheimer gave!
It is, but Meisheimer has to please a biased audience so will ameliorate his tone.
Mearsheimer only wants that which benefits America, regardless of the cost to other countries. He would gladly fight China to the last Indian! In fact, he would consider a protracted conventional war between India and China a best-case scenario. American arms manufacturers would derive massive profits selling huge amounts of second-rate materiel to India at exorbitant prices, leading to the deaths of literally millions of Chinese and Indians, permanently weakening both countries for decades to come.
He has few sentences on China and in every video he keeps repeating. Many youtubers were caught recently taking money from CHINA looks he can manage to escape

@@curryhousechickenNo, when she comes to China, she is same biased as western reporters.
As long as there are Indians that can accept the current status and strive towards it, India will become a great power. But if Indians are in denial, then never will you reach the status of great power.

I sometimes blood boils on you pulling down our nation.
But you say truth i believe it's the reality.
Sadly, I agree with your views

The first step to greatness is to recognise its weaknesses, then work on the weaknesses and India will then be a great nation. Self deception is the worse enemy of greatness; travel beyond India n visit China n see what China did correctly. All the best to India
Heard the rumor
that people in India like to boast, namely exaggerating something which is not that great. Is this what you mean.
Only can an Indian like Mr. Sawhney be so unbiased....
When I spotted Palki Sharma's interview with Prof. John Mearsheimer I had ignored and decided to not watch it, because I had a very poor opinion about her grasp of geopolitics and that I am quite familiar with the Professor's views which I admire no doubt. And lo, it was spot on. She, like many other Indian journalists and commentators, thinks that Russia-Ukraine war is in stalemate; 'India is an aspiring super power', 'China is economically on the down-slide', etc. So, later when I spotted yours (Mr. Pravin Sawhney's) I have decided to go back and see the first one first and carefully viewed yours too. Unless one views both the videos one would not be in a position to properly evaluate the contents of the first one. And thank you for your quick analysis and apprising comments.
In addition to what you and Prof. Mearsheimer explained as to what constitute a super power may I add a word or two. Population definitely constitutes a major factor but it has to be united, actively engaged in nation building, contributing to wealth creation that leads to country's prosperity. For that the country should have internal and external peace. As for wealth it should regenerate wealth the benefit of which should permeate to the populace and that they should feel content and should be proud of belonging to the nation. Economic prosperity is another essential factor. For this there should be plenty of natural resources, skilled work force, investment capital and good entrepreneurship, sufficient water and power/energy resources, better communication facilities and above all a committed political leadership. To this we can add defence capability sufficient enough to protect the country from any external threat from land, sea and air/space. It is advisable that this is again sufficiently supported by domestic industrial production and innovation. (Eg. USA, Russia and China).
Palki is useless and biased ..she just do boa bla bla
Palki Sharma = biased liar when comes to China. Its from Indian Hinduism nationalists supremacy lying to themselves....
That woman lives in alternative reality. She jumps on any narrative that China is bad or going down whether it’s true or not. She is appealing to some big segments of Indian population I suppose.
I would argue Palki Sharma is on China's side....helping to make Indians clueless of what really happening.
@@foodparadise5792 I have watched her on WION for years.....She need to be biased and be anti China to keep her job with high support from Indians....But I agree with you because I like your reverse thinking....

Sir, India's biggest weakness is the internal integrity as a nation since the political brass is tilting to the far right. No nation can prosper if it had this fundamental flaw which Indian politicians are failing to prevent. India hitherto could prosper due to its somehow balancing within its many communities.

Neutrality will be a hard act to follow. The US will bring extreme pressure to bring India to obey. India has so many weaknesses. e.g. The untouchables & 2nd class muslim society. They'll come at India with Human Rights to bring it to heel. And trade sanctions will be threatened and so on.

Mr Pravin is a true gem for India.
I fully agree with you in your assessment.
He speaks bs. Don’t listen to him.
India is a superpower. Modi has done a superb job leading India into superpower status.
Pravin's comprehensive knowledge about the art of war and REALISTIC assessment and understanding of indian's strengths and weaknesses is quite an eye opener.
Another great unbiased assessment 👍, only if India had more professionals like you.
I think the "Eastern Data, Western Compute" means that there are a lot of computational needs in the eastern China because it is a lot more advanced, thus data. But western China is less developed but has a lot of land and especially desert which can produce a lot of clean energy, and much cheaper. Therefore building data centers in the western part is a lot more economical and clean than in the east where the land and energy are a lot more expensive. Therefore offloading the hardware required for computation to the western China is a truly "win-win", as long as the connectivity is there, which means speed and bandwidth, which China obviously can build, through wireless 5G and optical cables cross the country.
Exactly. Well on spot.
Whitfield… fake news. All bs. China is getting credit not deserved. India has all the strategic moves. A true superpower
Agree on your perception. Regarding the communications aspect 5G is getting old. China is now testing 5.5G. An industrial application, which is expected to be 10 times better than 5G. It is expected for 5,5G will rollout in 300 Chinese cities.

Sir india won't support usa in Ukraine middle east or Taiwan
But wants USA to support us in Himalayas, how will anybody accept this?
Great insight and great observation.
Great thoughts about a big population - it can be an asset or a liability for a country. Great reminder/thinker..
This is pretty good, and far better grounded than most Indian-based commentary on geopolitics. Bravo on that! I agree on your major points:
India is an aspiring great power. India has great potential, but is going to be in China's shadow for many decades. It will take at least a decade for India to develop before they can leverage their large population for significant growth. If India doesn't get serious very quickly, they will be passed by sub-Saharan Africa, ASEAN, and LatAm countries who are striving just as hard.
India would probably not get involved in a Chinese-American War over Taiwan, given a lack of benefit but high risk for them to stick their necks out. India would officially back America in the UN, give a lot of speeches against China. Palki would have a field day every day.
Russia would be officially neutral in a Chinese-Indian War, but Mearsheimer is correct that Russia would unofficially back China in the same way that China is backing Russia against the Ukraine. They have a very large, demilitarized border which allows both countries to focus on other threats. They have completely complementary economies, and the only reason Russia's economy is growing under American sanctions is due to Chinese support. Should the relationship break down, Russia would be in VERY big trouble. While Russia could sell spare parts to India, it's easier for them to be strictly neutral and avoid any sort of direct military support to either side, especially as they know that backing the losing side would only delay the inevitable, not change the outcome.
One note, a naval blockade is an overt Act of War. If India were to attempt to blockade Chinese trade in the Indian ocean, that is a de facto declaration of war against China. Given Chinese history, it is likely that they respond strongly.
Again, great commentary, hope this gets more traction within India.
Wow, Mr Sawhney. What an excellent and convincing rebuttal. 👏👏👏👏👏
1. Does Mearsheimer still believe that in order to win the war, a country has to fight a war very often?
2. Even though India shows itself to be acting like a neutral country, it still has a more Inclination towards the West. There is no doubt about it.
3. It is not on account of border issues that India considers China as its enemy. But, India also sees itself as one of the oldest civilizations and considers itself as an equivalent country with China, in terms of civilization, intelligence, knowledge etc.
But, it is only after 40 years, When China grew rapidly and left India far behind, that India now started feeling inferior and disgraced. Consequently, India now sees China as its permanent enemy. It keeps bringing border issues on the table just to cover up its jealousy and to justify its hatredness towards China.
He supports Russia he still thinks Russia invaded Ukraine because Ukraine wants to join nato 😂😂 but the real fact is Russia just want turn Ukraine in to a vassal State and zelensky refused supports Russia that's why they invaded Ukraine
I think you are chinese
are you insane india is a democracy and its not a puppet of united states and by the way there is no benefit india gets by involing in border issues with china.china is creating string of pearls against india currently we are not able to match chinese economy but that doesn't mean we can be bullied and china is trying all possible ways to encircle india.china is a aggressor we are a country of 2500 dollar per capita we have alot inefficiency in the economy then china put up more pressure on that economy.

Wow! This is some analysis. No crap. Just the facts supported by the references. I really don't see any defense analyst in subcontinent sharing this level of knowledge at any platform. Thank you!
Because Indian politicians are busy at different strategies of making money. Money laundering , electoral bonds , donations , corruptions , toppling opposition parties/ government etc 😂
The real measure of a great power should be "influence". That is determined by economy, diplomacy, technology, military power etc.
In each of these areas, China is at the forefront, not just the biggest economy of the world but an industrial superpower with more production capacity than America, India, Germany combined. That is perhaps the real measure of economic strength, but even in GDP terms, China is first and is the #1 trading partner for most countries.
Techonologically, China has caught up with America in most areas and is quickly surpassing it.
Diplomatically, US is in decline especially as a result of what its is doing in the region that must not be named, BRICS is on the rise.
Militarily, it has hypersonic weapons and about over 300 times ship production capacity of America already, but because China is also the greatest industrial superpower by far, that can be scaled up even more.
Then there's India. Corrupt. No infrastructure. Has a population as big as China, but no high speed rail. Industrial output is not great. Diplomatically it does business with everyone but it has alienated the world's muslim population due to its actions. Technologically it is good with pharmaceuticals, and I don't know what else. Militarily, it is a joke, but it has nukes so that can suffice.
Good in depth discussion and assessment. These are the things the Indian Govt has refused to do to improve upon... and instead preferred to be used as a pawn by US against China !!!

@@santhugowda7179Bro, sell your cows. Eat gobar halwa and join the army. We need you at the border.
The theoretical basis for classifications of power in international relations, such as distinguishing between superpowers, great powers, middle powers, and small powers, stems from the study of power itself. The systematic study of power is relatively recent, with scholars like Harold Lasswell emphasising the importance of concepts like power and influence in political analysis. These classifications are rooted in the understanding that states vary in their capabilities, influence, and roles within the global system. For instance, superpowers are characterised by great power and high mobility of that power, while great powers have robust economic, cultural, and political influence over other countries. Middle powers, on the other hand, possess moderate influence globally but are not as dominant as superpowers or great powers. These classifications help scholars and policymakers analyse and understand the dynamics of international relations by categorising states based on their relative power and influence in the global arena.
India is considered a middle power in international relations, falling after superpowers and great powers. This classification signifies that India holds significant influence globally but is not at the level of a superpower or a great power. Despite being the fourth most powerful country in Asia, India's overall power score has been declining since 2018 as per Lowy Institute Asia Power Index . Various analyses highlight India's position as a promising new power in the global arena, emphasising its role in shaping international affairs and its commitment to multilateralism. While India has been gaining prominence among middle-rung global powers, achieving the status of a great power will depend on its economic performance, defence industry capabilities, and human development improvements.
India’s limitations in funding the Indian Navy is a good metric to figure where she stands in this pecking order.
First statement of Prof Mes addressing to her enquiry was " Multi-polar world now" .
Implicit meaning is USA had been down from Superpower to Great power.
India may not rank fourth in Asia as you suggested. IMO, India and Japan are now Co-Second in Asia.
Prof Yanis Varoufakis : No NO NO!; it is bipolar world- China and USA. His basis- concentration of wealth and ??. Prof Meismeihmer: No it is multi polar- Russia, China and USA. Somebody big but I don't remember: Multi polar is only transitional, but it will be eventually, Bipolar. India: I am also a superpower in this multipolar world
If you look at the money aspect. USA can still extract resources from the world through its USD domination. China, paid through its nose to challenge that and now, by having the base to sell things to the world. By maintaining significant technological edge over china, USA can still extract wealth from China. The problem is that it is losing the technical edge as well. In this perspective, it will soon be a unipolar world, unless china is contained in its sphere. If this is possible, then will other countries want the old USD domination system to carry on? Can USA carry on with 80% of the world joining the opposition or being neutral. At least half of the military bases will have to be closed? There is no possibility that USA can carry on, with china even contained within its sphere, so China must be suppressed totally. I think it even impossible for a bipolar world.
@@biggpicture2930 I agree with your points, in parts only.
On the big picture, I don't think it is and will be Unipolar or Bi-polar as other suggested.
Prof Mes often says that currently USA is top, China is close second and Russia is distant third.
The female host Palki had opening question about Uni-Polarity, Prof Mes answered explicitly it is Multi-polar world now. I agree to Prof Mes on both points that very vaguely, it is Tri-polar nowadays.
As a whole Chinese traits always lean on the inward looking and reserved ( not outspoken ) mentality, and surely NOT as gutsy and outspoken and fore-coming and initiative as the Russia. China indeed needs Russia on China together to change the USA dominated Uni-polarity even China is far wealthier than Russia. In Israel Vs Hamas, Russia is very bold to stand by Hamas and Palestine, While China dare not exactly follow Russia foot path, see the difference ?
Also, Middle East led by Saudi Arabia, Africa led by South Africa as well as India are aspiring to occupy ONE POLE a decade or two or three down the road. And world geography showed EACH of above mentioned countries/regions are territorially -isolated ------- no land border between each other except China-Russia
As to EU, not so sure as Europe is somehow directly in one war and indirectly in another war now..
@agoodchow You still think in military terms. Where do you think the cornerstone of US's power lies? Who else ever said it will be solely unipolar?
Spot on, Mr Sawhney! In India, the "toppers" study night and day to pass an exam, having learnt by rote, to secure a plum government post to fulfil the requirements of being what the British would require to be subalterns to oversee the locals!
You are talking the truth ! Great job !!
Very interesting analysis Me Pravin. There’s one other thing Indian government need to consider too. China and India were old friends and next door neighbor. Both will be the biggest economic pact in the future. Now, if Indian government misaligned on that future. An alternative future might be materialized. India historically had many enemies. But none of them were Chinese. Since You are a geopolitical analyst, can you tell us that if WW3 happened right now in Ukraine, will American government leave the whole Indian subcontinent alone and thriving? China knew that they’re gone…what about the mighty Indian? Will American leave the Japanese alone and thriving too? Do they trust the Asian Indian to rule their lands? What did they do to Indian for almost 200 years in India? Do they bother to even speak Indian? Or the Indian had to speak their language til present day?
Asian indian land is always in a mess. It is very hard to control religious zombies, so you got no worry. Whoever pay more, will control the ruling party. Can China pay more? What language do you propose? many languages in India to choose from, and many don't want their language disappeared. It is also called cultural genocide. Smarty? or stuupiid!
what language do you propose? why did Singapore choose ENGLISH? why did china choose a non han language called mandarin?
You didn't know Mandarin is a non han language?
India is not your friend. Palki Sharma is the truth speaker of India
What are you even talking about? Non han language? Mandarin is a Chinese dialect. it uses chinese characters. Han doesn't really mean anything. It's just a loose concept of mainstream/majority Chinese people. Over time Mongols, Manchu etc all become "han" too as they assimilate into chinese identity and give up or lose their minority status and culture.
Han is just from han dynasty and is just a name. In tang dynasty it will be tang Chinese instead of han and so on. In the end it doesn't really mean anything. No Chinese goes around saying I'm han Chinese or discriminate against others if they aren't.
Even at times some of his points don't concern me. i get a lot of knowledge, direction and methodology .highly appreciated.
Which points don't concern you?
Mur.. don’t listen to his bs. India is doing fine. Well respected by the world
Fuck, I was so judgemental about his Indian guy. He spoke the ground reality that common people do not see. Good analysis.
Explain the Xhinese statue on ur desk? wat does it represent?
It is a statue of Qin Shi Huang. The first emperor of China.
He was the first ruler to unify China under a "imperial" system. One of his great contributions was the written language, which a 7 year old chinese kid today can travel back 2,300 years in time and read and understand a script of wrote at that time. This is one of the core reason why China today, with the right policy, can develop at extraordinary speed.
Qin Shi Huang unified ALL of China in 221 BC, when there had previously been many Chinese states vying for supremacy since 475 BC. What is often missed in this story is how the King of Qi, the last warring state, surrendered to Qin rather than fight. This spared the people of Qi and Qin a bloody war that would have cost countless lives. Qin Shi Huang instituted and expanded many reforms. He is a powerful conceptual figure for unification, reform, and development on a supernational scale.
Very indept and accurate analysis of whether India is a great power. Mearshiemer analysis of India as a major power is superficial and narrow. Huge population without education and cohesiveness and work attitude is a a liability not an asset.
Very sober and wise analysis!
It is always wise to make more friends and fewer enemies. Going to wars for ego or "feelings" is the last thing anyone should do.
Some clueless politicians got a bleedy nose in 1962, and now are seemingly begging for another. 😢
BE LIKE CHINA. SO HUMBLE IN VICTORY. OTHER FOREIGNERS ARE TALKING ABOUT THE GREAT ACCMPLISHMENTS OF CHINA BUT NOT THE CHINESE.
Very objective analysis. But your brutal honesty is going to hurt many people's feelings.
YES! I am here with a bag of popcorn reading comments of emotional damaged nationalist Indians who prefer lies.....
China and Japan have leaders who are educated while India has a chai wala focused on building temples 😂😂😂
Leader of China descontructs mosques in Xianjian province. So much for education.

@@arjunverma8435wow, no wonder India don’t hv 5g, if u do, simply google can give u right numbers on mosques, China has 39000 mosques vs US has 2000 as years of 2024😂

@@miaomiaotoo it is not technology but an open mind and cognitive ability to separate from facts and state propoganda to see the truth.

He should be the top adviser of the Modi government, so much respect sir 👍
Jai Hind sir
Assalamualaikum...kya aap bhi Geopolitics main interested hein?
Root cause of India's under achievement is " 100 mein se 99 beimaan fir bhi mera bharat mahaan" 😂😂😂😂
my 2 cents:
a1. no. the fact that you need to ask that question show you're not a great power, yet;
a2. that's an idiotic question. why do you want to be part of a war for no reason? you want to, at all cost, avoid getting into a war.
a3. don't know. but Russia will not play a big role.
a2. India need to erase their trauma of the 1962 war defeat to China..😂
a3. Russia is playing a huge role in future multipolar world, sacrificing their people. With Russia success, spared China into war at the moment.....
India is a rich country inhabited by poor
If country is rich why people are poor?
The one and only thing that you require to become a great power, is great power mindset. Which india laks. Once the mindset is there, every other aspect will adjust itself to suit india.
I agree with you that India will likely stay away, from fighting when india is not involved in the war
Mr. Shawney is very much worried about Indian military. Power is derived from strength of people. BJP RSS government is working against democracy and unity of people by dividing them in Hindu muslim with criminal attitude against muslims.
watching from pakistan sir huge fan
Palki Sharma is the truth speaker of India. India is a superpower
yes，india is a supershit@@curryhousechicken
It is very good that Mr Sawhney, presumably Indian himself, has analysed the Indian situation pragmatically. Hope Indian leaders realize this and make practical steps to become a great power.
An eye opening analysis.. I really think that India ia an under militarised nation, given the massive population. A huge military could help us intimidate any enemy instead of getting into second rate alliances with the US. I look at Indian soldiers on the border and even they look under-equipped compared to not just the Chinese and Nato soldiers, but even other nations. 😐😐
I watched the Interview today with Big Mouth Palki Sharma, a cheerleader of Sanghi. She first mumbled and did not address the guest and started with the question. She and other Sanghis thought that he would say India is a superpower, a super economy with a GDP per capita lower than neighboring Bangladesh, and Blame Bangladeshi people that 20 million Bangladeshi flooded India to get jobs. There are no Bangladeshi in India and propagate as part of Muslim hating propaganda to get votes from illiterate and fanatic sanghis. I agree with Mr Sawhney on almost everything. China and the USA will never fight any war and not be stupid like Putin. Chinese export market is the EU and North America. Due to the huge demand for the latest electronic gadgets and optoelectronic and drone tech, they make up half of their export to the West. Only fool leaders will wage war and destroy themselves. Even China sometimes digests insults by American politicians and even by Donaldo Trumpu. I studied Engineering in the soviet union(st. Peterburg and did my master's and post-graduate, later in Canada in the field of telecom and microelectronics in Canada) and I know math, physics and other basic sciences are widely taught in every university, and college. Russians are very good in math, and they are very good in software engineering, but russian scientists and American scientists got the Nobel prize together for electronics, but Russia was left behind with the fabrication due to the fault of their leaders. Russian isolation caused the building of electronics industries. Not a single country can do it alone. The whole West does with the help of each other how India can be developed when they bared 20% of Muslims and 50% of lower caste people from education and jobs and social segregation from the stupa Bramin or Upper castes. The sangish and RSS MODI completely denied the opportunity of 60-70% people of India. They are potential engineers doctors scientists etc.
Assalamualaikum...are you from Pakistan?
Uh, China's biggest export market is currently ASEAN, and their LatAm exports are growing very rapidy! WRT math and software, Russia lags behind China, which has dominated the International Math Olympiad for many years. Chinese software is first rate, but not widely visible to Westerners.
China actually is the single country that can do it alone. China has the largest concentration of STEM graduates in the world, the largest single domestic market in the world (bigger than the US & EU combined), the largest manufacturing base, and a government that is actually working for the people. In 20 years, this will be obvious to the world.
Gud analysis.
A very good analysis. Hats off sir.
The indian will keep on voting for modi as long as he keep the border issue with China alive, in the end the poor indian man on the street suffered so much. Gallup and😅😅 other poll shows China has the happiest people in the world. 92 pecent.😅😅
Professor Mearsheimer has to be tact and and has to use diplomatic language when answered Indian Reporter's questions related to Indian pride. So the education and military factors can not be included.
Great Analysis Sir
Salute to you Sir, one of a few Indians analyst or geopolitical experts who could see the complex world clearly, openly and fairly.
I just have to salute you. The best analysis ever by an indian that is so different from other indian experts. I admire your courage.
It is good that the Indian intellectuals do not live in fool's paradise like the Pakistani thinkers.
Bro, stop taking money from Taliban. Why so serious?
