The Citizenship Amendment Bill was tabled in the Lok Sabha today by Amit Shah. He was interrupted by some MPs who asked if India shared borders with Afghanistan. Shah won that point. For 105kms along the Wakhan corridor, India shares a lesser known border with Afghanistan. In episode 337 of #CutTheClutter @ShekharGupta explains what the strategic importance of this complex border region is, what is Pamir Knot & The Great Game country.

India doesn't share any border. The area is in pakistan. India likes to call it pak occupied but we the inhabitants donot associate our selves with india while people living in IOK want to associate with pakistan.
Fuck off communist funded anti india news agency🖕🖕

Camera turned to Sonia Gandhi's face...Lol
Whats thr big deal? She is naturalized Indian.

Just check who came from where? Everybody is a foreigner in somewhere. Even Chandra Gupta Maurya was a foreigner. Where was the origin of some of the castes in India like Koli people? People migrated from Bactria, scynthia, Persia, Mangolia etc came and settled here and ruled here in Hindi belt and they claiming as original Indians😼😋

Nehru and his strategic blunders have cost India heavily..not just that the 1971 victory should have been used to permanently settle this territorial issue when we overwhelmingly had the upper hand.
Tanmay You are absolutely correct!
this will effect us forever
@@harshgupta1999 Haha.. A big lost to India.. Now, even heavy with CPEC..
@Sando Zod their investment in Afghanistan also failed.. since the Taliban won..
I do believe you Endians had the upper hand at the end of the war but what about the locals? Majority of them are Muslims, you can take the territory but can you really win their minds? Your army is still struggling with the Kashmiris even in 2022 😂
I am a Wakhi and I am from Hunza, Gilgit-Baltistan. Wakhi people originated from the Wakhan Corridor and they now live in Wakhan & Badakshan, Afghanistan, GBAO Tajikistan, Xinjiang China, Gilgit-Baltistan (Disputed), Brughil valley Chitral Pakistan and various cities of Russia. I am from Gilgit-Baltistan, however I am now living in Moscow Russia.

In my generation, in the middle school geography, we were specifically taught about Pamir Knot and junction of borders in this region. Regrettably, India neither has clear and firm borders, nor does Indian education system appraise its citizens of these matters. Little wonder that our law makers don't know our borders. Many thanks for very informative presentation.
It is really saddened to hear our MP doesn't know the Geography and boundaries we share with other countries.
They know it's technically not under our control
It's occupied by pak
Only BJP considers that. All other Political Parties don't believe that.
Actually MPs are living in reality 🤣 While Hitler Amit shah can only dream 😂
@@rajaamir8143 Just the fact CCP used ancient maps to make claims for territories like Tibet, Xinjiang etc. is more than enough to prove Amit Shah is not living in fantasy but leaving an important chess piece that could be used by later Politicians when India truly became powerful.
May be Pakistan should just buy that Wakhan Corridor or just simply Occupy it right from its neck of 14 miles making it a direct access towards Tajikstan economy - Good Idea, just killing the snake in its crawling 😂😂😂😂
Wakhan is part of Afghanistan between Pakistan and Tajikistan Pakistan is 13 kilometers away from Pakistan, Afghanistan have not a singal inch boarder with india
True
WOW WOW WOW..... Sir your level of journalism is now on peak scale. I didnt expected any news channel to cover this issue.
Hats off to you. You have earned a new 19 year old fan.
Love and respect from Bageshwar, Uttrakhand.
Shekhar ji , learnt a bit more of Geography today !! Sitting here in London. Thank you teacher Shekhar !
The Wakhan corridor went from being a pan handle to a pot boiler! Leave it to Indian politics to make our evenings interesting..
What a coincidence! I’m reading the great game by Peter hopkirk and I seriously believe that the book covers primarily the Persian region connecting with afghan in the first initial parts and how the spy network was used by both the erstwhile powers of the time i.e. British empire and the tsarist Russia. The first thing that came into my mind was whether Mr. Shekhar Gupta will mention this book or not. Which he very well did! Well informed journalism is the way we all can benefit ourselves and the country. Kudos!
Simply erstwhile Jammu & kashmir shares borders with Afghanistan
Unintentionally shekar you have accepted that India lost the war of Kashmir in 1948 😂😂😂 you earn my respect boye.
Those Indian MPs believe in reality. That entire area is with Pakistan. Mr. Gupta take your passport and try and go towards "your border with Afghanistan". You'll be surprised. 🤣
Haha....amit shah n modi ll run with fire in their arse
India shares border with Afghanistan is a fool's dream nothing else , Gilgit and Baltistan is a state of Pakistan that shares border with Wakhan corridor of Afghanistan
Hello Zakir just wait for some years.... India will capture gilgit baltistan, this is integral part of ladakh and Jammu Kashmir

Wrong knowledge
Yours is a good programme. Makes sense. Is not laced with 'unnecessary' opinions. Have to commend you for being a rare journalist in today's age amd time who still believes in demarcating opinions away from facts. Since a few months that I started watching CTC I realized that what you are doing is the future of AV news - topical and 8" deep. 8" because that is the depth of paddy roots and height of a standard paper file. I love maintenance of depth in CTC.... Not too deep, while not being shallow at all. Kudos!
By this standard removing 370 was very very important.. strategically important region..
Jo bhi congress waale bol rhe the ki hamara Afghanistan ke saath koi boundary nhi hai.. they accept and refer to the Map of Pakistan for the region
Ya agar unko uss part na nhi pata hai toh shaanti se sunte jab Amit Shah unhe bata rha tha.. bina baat ke kyun uchal rhe the.. 10s ki cheez 3-5min lagi thi bolne mein
Babu to have access to the wakhan corridor , POK should be a part of India . But it is not , which is the actual reality on the ground .
The question is how do we fix this !!! It would require us to de-ligitimize the existence of Pakistan . To do that we must reject the two nation theory. Because Pakistan hinges it's existence on the two nation theory as an islamic state . But the truth is , it's not sustainable why ? Because they have sindhi , balochi , pakthtun , Ahmadis who sees the country of Pakistan as an illegitimate one . And our response ?
No proper vision as - India proves that it is sustainable by giving legitimacy to a Hindu rashtra .
A Hindu rashtra is not necessarily in India's interest .
Do not see it as dichotomous - yes or no ! I
Support or against !
That's a naive mentality .
What the Congress means is that at the moment we do not actually share a border ! And yes we do not share a border because POK at the moment is not a part of India . And if you really want it to be a part of India what's stopping you from going to claim it !!!
@@plendafuture7451 what is going on in this country right now is totally under the control of several wise men who are at the helm. And one of them, Ajit Doval, is much more wiser than you. So don't worry, everything will be taken care of.
@@rambhaiyadav464 don't give me the wise man example . How much say does Ajit focal have in parliament ? How much does he affect the policy of our country ? We have seen one wise man after the other which is why the GDP is growing at 4.5% lmao .
1.9 million were declared illegal immigrants by NRC . To the so called wise man of yours . Ek aadmi , bas ek aadmi bhej ke dikha !!!
This is my country , i am not going to leave it to some wise man . I have every right as an Indian citizen to have a vision for it !!!
@@plendafuture7451 even if you don't control the territory...it doesn't make sense to say it in public ,that's how narratives are set in the world. That's the reason why Pakistan started sponsoring expeditions to siachen and we had to send our troops. China claims arunachal and doesnt lose one opportunity to say it. There's a video on vox or wendover about Russian claim on arctic. Basically the goal is to make the world buy our version of narrative. So saying its Pakistan's territory doesnt help. Article 370 is one such example...it kept our kashmir in a constant state of limbo. Does the world ever talk about POK and the human rights violations there?
@@plendafuture7451 pehli baat to dusro se tameez se baat karna seekh ya phir nahi aata to Hindi use karna avoid kar.
Secondly, where does GDP come into picture in this argument in Geography. Kahan se kahan baat le ja raha hai!
Also, widen your vision. GDP is in stress globally and India cannot be free from its effect.
Ajit Doval is a very important member of the inner circle and his views are considered paramount in the matters of policy formulation of this country. On the other hand, the so called wise men whom you are implicitly promoting gave us policy paralysis, most fragile economy, and mega loot to boot. So stop complaining. What you want may be your opinion but what will prevail is what the majority of this country wants. Learn to accept it.
Finally, what do you mean "ja ke to dikha". Where do you want me to go.
India will never manage to get access to wakhan corridor, it is a Pakistan border .your narrative is a false statement
I want my Indian borders touched with Afghan and Tajikistan borders. I want our land from Pakistan (POK).

according to document kashmir belongs to india , dont you know that ? , you annexed pok , gilgit baltistan
by force , that region belong to india , actually kashmir want to stand alone , but pakistan attacked them with
the help of pathans , on the basis of majority of kashmiries are muslims , they never wants to be with pakistan or india , but indians were very clever that
they take the opportunity " when pakistan attacked kashmir " india agreed to support them if , they join to
indian union , and kasmiries joined india through a valid merger , how hard pakistanies try kashmir belong to india according to document , but the majority of the people are muslims .

### Class ..pure class ..Amazing Analysis. ..Sekhar sir is the only journalist who could Force you to watch his Shows at 2.57 AM.. Hightime you should go for a 24×7 channel. Thanks for this Episode.
Sorry Shekhar. I like your cut the clutter videos. I benefit from them.
However, the current reality on the ground is that India does not have a border with Afghanistan. Period.
India has a border in its 'dream/wish list.'
The area India has in its 'wish list' is the vital interest of and therefore protected by two nuclear powered nations, Pakistan and China.
India will have to enter into a large scale costly dangerous war with Pakistan and China to take that area.
As time goes by, as weapons become more sophisticated, it'll likely become more and more difficult for India to even wish for this area.
Playing with these semantics, doesn’t cut the clutter.
It’s precisely these wish list semantics that create a lot of the clutter.
Sorry.
Oh my god .. What a grave mistake nehru did by giving away the part of kashmir .. Now china and pakistan as playing the game.

On paper,on maps,India has a border with Afghanistan.When do we think this will be a reality on the ground?I mean ,really!
Yeah true
it would have been long time ago but you know.. congress.. too busy making money
Never ... and don’t misjudge my short response. It’s not a threat, just a reality check. It just isn’t possible nor is it appropriate to occupy our north and its people.
A good lesson on Indian geography
Very well explaned! If we can get our pok & Gilgit back then it will be very good for India , as we will get direct access to Afghanistan & central Asia. Hope for the best..
Billi ke khawab me Cheechade.
If India and Indians consider that India has a border with Afghanistan via PoK, then the same Indians has to consider Manipur as an independent kingdom and not a state of India.
Reality as of now is, we don't have any border with Afghanistan and the state of Manipur is an integral part of India.
First of all the name hind and hindu was given by central asian muslims.

Shekherji, you have once again strengthened my resolve to watch CTC everyday. You have a wealth of knowledge in international affairs. But if ur graphics and maps are made more cooler it would add to the quality of the show even more.
Atlast i must appreciate Sri S Gupta ji home work. Lot of information about borders of India & its interesting neighbourhood. Though i am not subscribing to his line of thinking mostly this episode is really very good. Though i have travelled deep inside Kashmir (pok) & Ladakh (China) borders i was not at all aware this India sharing a small narrow border (though disputed) with Afghanistan.
This is a good video told without propaganda or prejudice.
The importance of silk route to Asian countries is tremendous and if everything plays well soon it will be the part of India just like it was intended to be before British, Mughals, Mongols and Greeks
Vaibhav Tanwar its not just pak india u little innocent kid. pok iok is interest of china vietnam japan russia everyone coz it can change everything in region india is just a little part of it
I was aware of India Afghanistan border, but still this had quite refreshing information. Looks like only Guptaji is the doing heavy lifting for ThePrint. If other staff could post more interesting stuff, ThePrint can reach more sub numbers quickly.
Misleading title. Indian and Afghan borders don't meet (and they will never meet).
