Abhijit Chavda On Tourism, Geopolitical & Wars

People often boast about China whenever India faces challenges, but few acknowledge how RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) successfully countered CIA, ISI, and Chinese intelligence agencies in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. RAW literally just saved the Bangladeshi government again. RAW's success deserves recognition.🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

shashi tharoor vs j sai deepak debate on nationalism.

[@Futurebhartiya]

9:20 , it is the same typical argument that says "You are either with us or against us"

[@Vinay_Acharya]

I guess slightly similar to that, India is giving a message that "Either u r with us or on ur own". Now that's pretty much a good one 👍 It can also mean that we wont bother u and also mean that we wont support u too

[@StudentStudent-h6n]

9:00 No one here think in that prospective , everyone is like hey we are cooperating with France in energy & defence sector. I think people of Africa should raise these issue then only other nations will come for them otherwise these cooperation will make nations silent

Turkey supports Azerbaijan against Armenia mostly due to religious reasons. Turkey's great ties with Maldives, Pakistan also says alot about it's communal lens. Also, women have ruled ruthlessly too when they were in power (Hillary Clinton?). Lastly, Indian's not understanding psychology is just baseless considering their immense contribution in psychology. But the west will tell you it all started in Germany but ancient Indian texts and Chinese texts speak of it in great detail. Indians actually have texts on psychological warfare in their books like "Chanakya Neeti* way before anyone ever did. Cheers 🥂

[@sriramprasannaarikapalli472]

9:24 I understand the conundrum. If not France, China would taoe advantage of political situation of sub Saharan Africa. Ideally, we want those nations be independent but due to dictatorships, those regions tend to remain politically unstable for someone to take advantage. Indians admitted their mistake of being politically unstable which British took advantage and conquered India. So after independence, we decided to first correct that mistake

There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests in international relations. Geopolitics doesn't care about morality. If you are not powerful enough to protect your sovereignty, you're going to be used by bigger powers.

[@kickassguy704]

India has for a long time after independence tried again and again to pitch for a peaceful and inclusive world. Whether it be NAM which provided space for countries not wanting to get sucked into the Cold War or the Panchsheel with China via which India aimed to establish a strong long term relationship with China. The problem was never with India’s intention. India has fought 5 full scale conventional wars in the last 75 years. NONE OF WHICH WERE STARTED BY INDIA. India has realised that it can’t change the world. The attitude of India is not aggressive but actively defensive. There’s no harm in trying to defend the interest of your people especially when no one else would (based on the last 7 decades). India sympathises with Ukraine, Israel and Palestine as we have gone through the same phase in our recent history, not to forget the trauma of the civilisational past. But we have to choose pragmatism. India did not choose to buy Russian weapons. The US via virtue of providing military tech to the military dictatorship of Pakistan pushed India towards Russia. You cannot undo the past in a few years. Especially not in an environment when economic and military power buys you a ticket to be a garb of being a moral custodian of the world (in case of US) where your actions are not held to account. Russia fights for land and resources. On the other hand Pakistan fights for religion. Don’t believe me, there are plenty of works by Christine Fair on the topic. Not to mention the military policy of the Pakistan army where it mentions “Ghazwa e Hind” as an integral policy of their institution. “Ghazwa e Hind” is a medieval Islamic concept which talks about the bloody conquest of India where the “Kafirs” or non-Muslims in India would be slaughtered to the extent that the rivers in Northern India would run red with blood and the remaining population would be converted to Islam. China on the other hand fights for land and resources as well. For India, it’s not about a moral choice. It’s about choosing survival or death. Self-improvement is necessary. The whole world should do it. Especially the US, EU5 and Russia. Not taking into account other EU nations who haven’t f****d the world. You cannot expect to adopt the attitude of Jesus, Rama, Krishna or Buddha when the guy in the front is holding a gun to your head. Shouldn’t it be the guy with the gun who should work more on self improvement rather than the victim.

[@parthapratimganguly776]

See you have to stand for your own country, other country didn't stand for any other country unless they have any agenda or benefit. We Indian see that what is good for us.

[@pranavbagaria9638]

The world is moving closer to an era where "might is right".

[@anirbannayak6993]

If we go with that logic then even Russia and US have colonies till now. But we have friendship with all of them; even with Britain 😂. And this is one of the differences between Pakistan and India. Pakistan is the only country in the world who tries to carry out their external affairs on the basis of Islamic emotions and brotherhood concept.😂 For that Pakistan is in this terrible situation today. They claim that Iran, Afghanistan are his brothers only with the logic that they are Islamic nations.😂 On the other hand Iran and Afghanistan launch missiles, attacks, and terrorism against Pakistan daily. Because they are practical and understand geopolitics unlike Pakistan. Even Pakistan is the only nation who had stopped trade with us(Not even China has stopped trade ever despite of having worse border disputes) only because we removed article 370 from Kashmir, which is completely our internal matter. And now Pakistan is buying the same Indian products with double costs through Saudi.😂 And now when Pakistan is literally begging to India to resume trades, we are not even picking his phone-call.😂 Anyway in the case of France, you may know it is the only European nation who carry on their external affairs ignoring U.S.A completely.😂 Whenever India has achieved something very big ex: Neuclear power, Space race, etc. etc. France has always supported India going against US and rest of Europe. France never has any dirty secret interest from India. And the relation is so strong that last year we had invited U.S president as prime guest in our Republic day making an exception(Normally we call the French president from the time of Independence by default). But U.S tried to show us attitude. So, we invited France as the substitution. And they had come without feeling it disrespectful. So, in one sentence: We don't make geopolitical relationships on the basis of any particular ideology or emotions even from our past. We make relationships to ensure present time interests of the people of India and also never interfare in other's personal matters unlike U.S😎

[@satyamvaishnav9963]

1.primary interest 2.secondary interest 3.tertiary interest that's what diplomacy is no trust in geopolitics I study international relations and that's the reality in the west France is the only constant partner never that hurted our national and international interest.so yeah, we have warm relations with french not because we like them but because, they never tried to hurt our interest for example when INDIA conducted nuclear test and became nuclear powered FRANCE was the only country I remember. so yeah we share good relations with them for now and in future who knows

Our External affairs minister has made it clear. 2) If France is still colonial power today we don’t care. They don’t have any control on our sovereign territory.

[@bhargavmonpara9549]

Yes you are right as India never did invasion of anyone rather we lost lands of historical India from Afghanistan to barma and Bangladesh and from tibbet in chaina to Kerala our history map but today we have half land even we not try to do war with china still they want India land for expansion they give loan south Asian countries and take over their lan for hundred of Year in hand of their own.they are did this with srilanka, Maldives, Bhutan, Nepal. That's why we are starting huge investment and defense start-ups in India. we are not interested in war but forcefully we have to do it.

[@himanshugurjar9002]

simple answer we are friends but we today just see national interest and we are not ally of any country doesn't matter if its RUSSIA,USA or any country. ya what you said its true for that i can give you example where you have already watched that video where a western journalist asked our foreign minister isn't India buying oil for Russia is funding the war then you know what he replied so that's states true for every country.

[@nskreviews923]

You should interview Mr. Abhijit , since you have an interest in Geopolitics

[@rajathari]

Countries cannot and should not take moral stances. There is a reality and we have to maneuver it in a way that suits our national interest. France has some common values with india ,that we cherish,and some acts that we dont agree with. But indian foreign policy has to find middle ground to have options ready to get leverage in geopolitics. France ,phillipines,mauritius, Russia, armenia,greece, african union , egypt,Yemen,Iran, italy,israel, UAE,Saudi, Madagascar are all leverage options for geopolitical tussle on the high table.

[@deadkachu7678]

We are against all the negative actions carried out by other countries, but we must also acknowledge that currently, France holds significantly more power than us. Just because we consider them allies does not imply equality. France is being made a scapegoat here, while other European nations are also benefiting from these actions and indirectly supporting them

[@blackman7186]

9:03 Even today, not many people in India realize the true face of France. However, when it comes to politics, righteousness has no place whatsoever. Even if France is or was a colonial power, we have to maintain relations for our own interests and long-term vision. There's no question of right or wrong, I mean, Russia isn't a Saint and yet we still see them in favourable light. If we start digging up the past, then perhaps no country should ever have relations with Japan and Germany right?

[@sanket7191]

9:21 in Geopolitics we cant consider only one aspect that its a colonizer.. India sees france as a reliable partner specially in defence Like the Rafael jets and many others defence deals unlike the USA...also france openly supports Indias permanent seat UNSC... other than that we can various ties in Space, medicine , finance , intelligence, nuclear sectors

[@dhananjaymishra4996]

Yes France is a colonizer but France supported Bharat in very crucial times. Like when Bharat did neuclear test france was the only country that supportes us even after US sanctions. People of Bharat dont forget who stand with us in tough times.

[@Swarup-r1h]

8:57 yes France is a Colonial power, and its colonization is horrific... but France stood for India in our difficult times, during India's nuclear test and subsequent sanctions.... as an Indian, I have every sympathy for Africans who faced Colonialism and still they are colonised till date

India is not a fan of any country, we just treat people & countries as friends. We respect Whichever country fulfills the needs of ours

[@StudentStudent-h6n]

8:52 So true ❤

[@RG-un2vl]

France and India have a partnership and mutual agreements that seem to be working out well for both countries. That’s not exactly fandom. The entire western hemisphere were either colonial powers, or tried to be colonial powers and failed or in case of USA have imperialistic ambitions and control over places like Hawaii, which was technically a colony. if we only view this point on principle, then the eastern hemisphere and western hemisphere should not be interacting at all. all Western interests should be gotten rid of, all trade should be stopped both commercial and military. Not quite practical . so the question should be…do the former colonized countries like India (which themselves are still recovering ) need to fight wars for current colonized countries or should current colonized countries get together and overthrow their colonizer? the latter would be more effective and would cause less damaged to those still colonized. Also, India’s stance has always been to come to the table and talk treaties. Not something seen in the western hemisphere, which is more interested in fighting it out in wars.

[@Engisahani2111]

I would like to say you one thing that yes France is not totally correct but we have some military and political relations❤❤

[@pranavrathi779]

I know Europe will be worried a lot if Trump returns. But we need trump to win because once a while such leaders elected disrupt/ shake the geopolitics and then new shape takes place.

[@sandeepssangha]

With French you have to see what is the greater of 2 evils. One side though not directly running counties, but by influence and proxy, on other side, France like India wants to have its own independent and sovereign foreign policy and not be a lanky to USA, while being a part of NATO at the same time. We Indians hold no grudge to British, we like to forgive but not forget, same can be exercised for France. So with that the answer is we can work with France to make the world greater multi polar and exercise greater sovereignty and options as India grows for next 2-3 decades.

We know that France was a colonial power and we don't agree with what they're doing even today. But the thing is, today the geopolitics is all about situationships. Right now, having good relations with France is beneficial to us and so that's why we will bear with them. Now, as compared to the British, that's different because the Brits were directly our colonizers whereas France was not. And unlike France, Britain is continuously trying to meddle in our country even today. So that's why we prefer France over other colonial powers. It's like choosing the lesser evil.

If you are not interested in geopolitics then don't react lady u r not understanding anything but forcing ur views on us and i completely disagree with so called masculine and feminine character thing u know that female leaders had also started wars in history our female pm indira gandhi started war with Pakistan similarly margaret Thatcher started war with Argentina and both became victorious against male counterparts through their leadership in india women are also leaders and ready to fight for their rights and freedom like in ancient times we had female leaders leading the battlefield like rani lakshmibai and many others and by nature they were both feminine in terms of care for their family and loved ones and also masculine when it comes to defending their honour and rights

[@krishnaats7141]

Again, juat because we are friends with France, doesn't mean we agree with eeveything they do. India's policy has been of non interference in other nation's politoco-economico-social issues. You would have nevee seen Indian government comment on internal workings of any country whether we like it or not. Unless it has direct bearing upon well being of Indians. You can say, most of our governments have had this policy. Secondly Britian is our colonizer, we do have good relations with them. Germany, Dutch, Italy, Spain, America, Denmark, Portugal, you name it, every country has been a colonizer. Our philosophy is live and let live. If we see something really terrible, only then we will speak. We cant keep abusing everyone for everyrhing they do and be friends with them later. We have been friends with even our worst enemies. And we hope others do the same. Not interfere in Indian matters. France has nevwe interfered in our internal matters. Neither did Russia. But US has always done that. Britain has done that. Germany, Canada, And heck even Australia and NZ has done that. We are srill frienda with them and hope they would eventually be better. We have even helped and provided aid to Pakistan of all coitneiws that has sworn to destroy us.

[@kalyani7695]

Dont ask questions like you are either with us or against us . We have 140 crore people to feed and those voted to our government for their benefit not to be morally correct for others leaving own country people in problem by buying oil and other things extra costly. It will first should think of own people benefit morall stands comes later when your stomach is full ok.We have seen famine due to these moral standings and trust when we say no matter how morally you try to behave you will get blamed so better stop caring other opinions specially those countries who buy way more than us like gas but lecture us on oil better look at own people benefit.
