Missed Opportunities and Geopolitical Shifts: The Modi Government's Decade

In this episode of "Bottom Line with Pravin Sawhney" on the Force Magazine KZbin channel, Pravin Sawhney critiques the Modi government's missed opportunities over the past decade, particularly in engaging with global South nations. The discussion highlights the emphasis on global North alliances, strategic missteps, and the geopolitical shifts towards Asia-Pacific due to China's rise.
The video covers missed opportunities for India's global role and the skewed priorities towards the G20, the rise of China and its strategic alignments with Russia, and the dynamics of a multi-polar world involving America, China, and Russia. It delves into the global South's alignment with China and Russia for prosperity and stability, China's technological advancements and their implications on global power dynamics, and the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution led by China on global standards. The Ukraine conflict and its unexpected outcomes for Western powers, shifts in global trading systems, and the move towards digital currencies are also discussed. Additionally, the Modi government's strategic challenges and regional dynamics, including military posturing and economic disparities with China, are analyzed.

You need economic clout to lead a block or at least provide security. India doesn't have the economic strength of China and Russia and doesn't take a stand against the USA who endengers the region stability. So there's nothing much India does aside from lip service.

Actually, USA doesn't practice any balance of power, or Westphalian system. It's pure hegemonism and imperialism. You can't have balance of power when you talk about rules based order. The balance of power is practiced by Global South nations, led by China and Russia. That's why the International North-South corridor is barely involving China, is countering the OBOR, that's why Russia wanted India as a counterbalance in SCO and Central Asia against China. Hence why invited both Saudi Arabia and Iran in BRICS at the same time, to keep the balance of power in the region.

The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) is one of the largest think tanks in the world and advises the Australian government and defense organisation. They have done years of research in the field of innovation and critical technologies. And they analyzed the 44 most critical technologies in the world and tried to figure out where China, the US and every country in the world stand. The result they achieved was that China leads innovation in 37 out of 44 areas of critical technologies. They are ahead of the US and the rest of the world. They have even established a monopoly on 8 of these technologies. While the US still holds a leading position in only 7 areas.

Mr.Sawhney, will you be able to confirm that the PLAN is actually conducting test on both the Fujian(18) and the Guandong (no tag yet) concurrently. And also there are 2 more Air Craft Carriers being built in Dalian and Shanghai (20 & 21) and will be using the new Thorium Reactor and the new EMR with a range of 120-130 nautical miles.🙏🙏

I'm from China. I always appreciate and respect you. But this time I don't agree with you on "India chosed the globle north". I guess Modi is thinking in this way:"India has three choices - to stand with globle south as a main player, or to stand with globle north as a minor player, or to sit on the fence. And now India should chose to sit on the fence. Then India can switch to the south or the north when the result of the competition is about to come out. Then theoretically India will be benifited at at a low extent while those 'angel investors' will win at a large extent. But this happend only when the compitition won't goes to a hot war. When it goes to a hot war, India can be the biggest winner as the U.S. did in the WWII. Either way India will win." I have to say it's a great strategy and it is probably from so called "Madhyamika". BUT it's only applicable to small powers. Madhyamika was developed when India was consisted of hundres of small kingdoms. But India today is an united great power, it will never obtain the respect and the position what India should get by this kind of strategy. The U.S. chosed the Allied in the WWII very ealy. It didn't join the war very ealy only because it wanted to pay less cost. And since many countries today have nuclear weapons the compitition is not likely to goes to a hot war. Sitting on the fence will make India lose its chance to be a real great power. As a Chinese, I live in a country which is a large and united one for thousands of years, and I know China will never use strategy like "Madhyamika" because we take ourselves as a main player. But China encourages small powers to take this strategy since it's good for them -- like the ASEAN countries. When it goes to India, Indian people should answer yourself first: Should I be a great power?

[@blackrooster4336]

@@TacticalMayo If I need to complete my words: when it goes to a nuclear war, the U.S. will lose more than it would lose in a conventional war, for the superiority of U.S.'s regular weapons will be wiped away in a nuc war and Russia plus China have much more nuc weapons than the U.S. has.

I have been watching for a long time Mr Sawhney dishing out distorted views of Geo Politics. Please note the following. India China dispute long Pre dates America China discord. India China problem is independent of America China problem. True India needs America to safe guard it's borders and Amarica needs India to safe guard it's Super Power status. Yes India and Amarica are at the two ends of the Globe but they have much in common. On the other hand China Pakistan have nothing in common . Only thing they have in common is their desire to keep India down

Leave Dr. Praveen to where he is in order that he be able to develop a new culture of pragmatism in India. He can operate more freely because India needs a new enlightened group of thinkers and that is essential to change the deeply seated negatively predisposed group which runs India of today. There is so much talent in India, negated by so much institutionalised crap.,a relic of the caste system, an imprisoned sense of being under the yoke of colonialism and corrupt officials, who are institutionalised as an adjunct to government.

I am a Pakistani and agree with Mr Pravin, that India is in geographical south and Pakistan and India both should be talking and the precursor to the talks should be to evolve a lasting peace between the two nations. Same is the case with China and India. The hard fact is that whatever has happened in the past, these nations are neighbors and will remain neighbors. Fighting neighbors only benefit the global north and their only remaining industry that is arms sales.

[@INVINCIBLESYBETROSS]
