Fareed Zakaria on What Trump 2.0 Means for Modi, Jaishankar, China and The World | Express Adda

But we just can't push it through, and at the same time, the rhetoric-especially by the members of the dispensation itself-betrays the promises it makes at large. Nowhere does their rhetoric speak to bringing any unity. It's vicious, if not vitriolic!

[@existentialvoid]

are you being foolish? - Nothing good can come from India getting too involved in Bangladesh - especially when you consider it is a majority Muslim country and the current BJP is not very friendly to Muslims. Zakaria is not saying stay out - he is saying - let Bangladesh sort it out. Ofc, take sides at your own peril. - Being friends with Pakistan - he says it is not realistic - but - it would be a great benefit to India. . . this is for sure. - Mov away from Russia - what advantage is there to aligning with Russia. . . especially since they are so close to China and DPRK. These are not profitable friends. 'Strategic reorientation' is not move away. . . - Ignore Canada - I think what he saying is to solve the issue and 'compartmentalize' and be diplomatic. . . Nothing there is American - it's all pro-India. Did you even understand what Zakaria is saying?

Excellent Fareed, host and audience too, interesting and in-depth questions, straight answers, Fareed is a real treasure. The only thing that surprises me (I watched it from the Czech Republic) is the relatively low viewership, especially in such a big country as India, it's a shame.

[@sunayanakundu2017]

this full session can be summarised in one sentence , "Farid Zakaria in American LaLaLand and hypocrisy".According to him America is the most important country in the world. It is doing everything right except electing Trump, India should become puppet of America, America can initiate wars throughtout the world and have a no negotiating approach but India should show big heart and act brotherly with Pakistan Bangladesh. Everything is already green in America, so America has nothing much to do in climate change, China India Phillipines should do the most. I mean 👏👏👏 to this such knowledable and accomplished human being.

We would like to see a debate between Anand Ranganathan and Fareed

[@bsingh08]

Great conversation 🥂🥂

[@okee7]

The most important similarity Fareed pointed out is that both Nehru and Modi during the initial years tried to pacify China and be friendly to them until they both saw the PLA at the same border. Then he also mentions the same foreign policy of non alignment or friends with all by both Nehru and Modi which is not practical though the 'foreign office babus' assume it is. It is USA that can help India become a great power by sharing and supporting; not Russia (who themselves are struggling) nor China (who will never let India progress nor has much to give or offer to India). As far as Russian weapons go, we all know they don't stand up to the levels of western technology or innovation. So why doesn't India just align with US and Japan at least; forget Europe so that it can become a world power by 2035 instead of 2055!

As I listen to the podcast 2 things crop up 1. US - While an erudite and articulate man, I doubt Fareed gets the extent of passion and anger against the democrats. That means Democrats who think like him will likely see the loss as temporary. 2. India - Fareed never was a fan of Modi and hence lacks balance on Indian politics. I dont agree Modi has packed the supreme court as is being suggested.

Don’t ever forget it - For the next few eons - While you don’t consider all other aspects of the World - How India could have been played by USSR - All the beneficial things we received from the West - Ignore what’s best for the people of India, for their future - Just don’t forget it. Today, Russians are owned by the Chinese - If you are stuck in the old world, neither the Russians nor the Chinese are going to come to your aid. The Western countries have been the primary source for India’s progress, Development and Prosperity. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. Pakistan is a non-relevant country and Khalistan is a non-issue. You still want to be hung up on your old mindset?

What non working feel is what they themselves feel. No working woman pushes that salt on them. Many resent working and are doing so because they take their commitments seriously.

I don't think American policies of bipartisan support for India is not for India's benefits alone. It is only for America's benefits. Also you have to realize that india lives in a neighborhood that it has to balance the risks which is immediate. I don't think Americans won't indian per gdp capita to go to 65000$.

Most politicians-99% of them-don’t express what they truly think and instead say what sounds good in front of the camera.

[@KBfin...]

@@deccanheart Yes, you are right-Fareed is a gentleman, no doubt about it. Of course, what Fareed says about Trump is also correct. However, what Fareed missed is highlighting similar issues on the Democratic Party's side. If we watch CNN, most of the blame is directed at the Republican side, with very little criticism of the Democratic Party. On the other hand, if we watch Fox News, most of the blame is directed at the Democratic side, with less criticism of the Republican Party. In the end, both parties spend billions of dollars and engage in more conflicts than efforts to help the poorest people in the USA.

[@seshadrisriram]

Looks like Mr. Fareen Zakaria predicted everything right for USA and now gives prediction and advice for India. Indians by nature when they move out to other counties think that India is staying at the same place where they left and think they are smarter to give all the advices.. btw, I like to appreciate his insights from his view point but too early for him to make advices to everyone including world leaders. It is shame to see Indian express asking advice instead of open question to Mr, Fareed as if he is the world leader to fix all our issues.

[@meta5291]

Why are you concerned? He is not going to be a dictator of India like Modi

[@karthigeyang.2917]

I sense US hegemony in his viewpoint’s.! This is what is antagonising many countries and India per se is more neutral aligned than West or China. We need a world order where every country plays a role than G7 kind of structure. That is inherently racist in nature.

Fareed, much I agree with your strong nationalistic defense of your adoptive country, but to say that the the infrastructures built by China all over the word is of less value compared with the USAid, is grossly overstretched. They say don't give a man fish, teach a man how to fish. Infrastructure is permanent. USAid is temporary.

[@meta5291]

Good point, but I can't conclude either way. Both countries do it for long term influence, but China has been more like a moneylender

[@BibhuAPanda]

May be Fareed might be a great author having a great and wider perspective on the world matters.But I disagree with his opinion which is branded as "Illiberal Democracy". Being the head of a democracy like India is all about delivering result in taking the nation to a developed state. If we start caring about the processes , the biggest question we need to ask ourselves is "Do we have that much of time?" Examples are aplenty in history where every nation that made great strides towards being a developed nation, had a leader at the helm of affairs who cared only for result.

[@VicharB]
