​@@mahedihasan4706 Even before Modi it was same situation. So, don't get into Indian politics. I don't know what political spectrum you belong in Bangladesh. But your politics itself is pro-anti India. One party is pro and other is anti-India. Since, the last sentence gives a hint to your ideology. Your side of political spectrum always hated India. Why would we care about it?? We gonna see our interest. We don't care about your democratic process. What we care about is who is in power. This is because of our neighbours itself. So, we don't care about your democracy or your system. Your own people who are in power responsible for it. We are going to support anyone who have power in your country.

I guess DW reporters and editors need to prove how unintelligent they are before they get hired. India is not only a staunch ally of Russia. India is also member of the China led Brics and Shanghai Cooperation Organization. As a matter the fact India will visit there is good for the Brics. The Indian foreign minister just met the Chinese foreign minister just a few weeks ago in the Brics meeting. The leaders of China and India are going to meet again in South Africa this summer. Unlike the United States Both the leaders of India and China understand that the world is not a zero sum game. This is not competition. We all need to cooperate and work together. The difference between Brics and the G7 is that leaders of the BRICS want to build a multipolar world. The G7 want a Unipolar world with the US as the sole country that gets to have the final say and veto in all import world institutions, the world economy and interfere in the affairs of all other countries. The Brics countries reject a multipolar world. They want a fairer more democratic world in which all nations have a say and all nations have a voice.

The term indo-pacific represent region which had enjoy strong cultural in past. This part is filled with temples and stories about ramayan and budha.

india love to run the errands for US

[@truegunner7223]

Common sense would say India should have the best relations with China among all its neighbours for a bright future. The relation with US can never take precedence over China in the long run.

India is adept at balancing relationships. They’ll find their course just fine without your great insights. 😂

[@indiantiger4595]

Both China and India are Competing for Leading Global South but Both countries even though have same Goal to make Global South Prosperous but China's Way of doing Things is very agressive and if they really led Global South they will just start a war between Global North and Global south while India want's to talk with Global North to invest more in developing countries in global south together not a war so it would be interesting to see what would Global South countries would choose as their leader but i think Brazil also have some potential to become one.

[@peekaboopeekaboo1165]

Wrong. It is America that is going to start a war. China is for multi-polar world order. No single leader.

[@RespectOthers1]

China investing in small island nations is unwanted influence. The US and India doing the same is cooperation. What silly hypocrisy.

[@sunnysky11-e4q]

what china is doing is Not called investment but debt trap and US has a lot of hypocrisy I agree but india Is Cooperating and helping Them example like covid / wuhan virus times India Provided Vaccines etc

[@RespectOthers1]

@@sunnysky11-e4q You’re kidding yourself if India doesn’t charge interest for loans or have their eyes on other benefits. Plus if building their high-speed rail is anything to go by what infrastructure projects they do build abroad may end up costing far more than planned.

[@krishnkant9477]

@@RespectOthers1 Majority of these nations don't need infrastructure like high speed rail as they don't have huge population centres are long distance (the case where high speed rail is needed). Most countries need improvement in the existing basic infrastructure like roads, railways, etc. China is wasting money as most of the countries where China has given loans are hanging with a thin thread of default and balance of payments crisis. That's why all these nations go and beg to IMF for money after they fail to pay debt. Chinan will never get it's money back. The best example is Pakistan. China invested a total of 100 billion USD with zero returns as of now.
