Hi Abhijit. When the ambassador explained about why there is propaganda against India’s democracy one thing that I haven’t heard from anyone is that no country wants to deal with a country that has a strong leader. A lot of people would now say I am team bjp 😂but it’s more about geopolitics than personal affiliations. If you look at PM Modi, he has the same level of power like Mr Putin in Russia and Mr Xi in China. Btw I am not comparing. In India we have free and democratic elections. This power comes not because he is the PM but because BJP holds majority seats meaning that there is no need for BJP to wag their tail for other parties that would support them to power. Now when you have that kinda a power, it’s difficult for other countries to play games. They can’t leverage the internal politics of India to help their cause. Maybe that’s why we see so much propaganda. I am not sure if I was able to correctly phrase the question. I hope you understand what I mean.

@@xouman3759 China and India share a rich history of cultural and economic ties, with many similarities and connections between the two nations. Here are some key points: Religious ties: Both China and India have a strong connection to Buddhism, with Buddhism originating in India and later spreading to China. Gautam Buddha’s journeys and spiritual practices have had a significant impact on both cultures. Ancient civilizations: Both countries have a long history of ancient civilizations, with China’s Han Dynasty and India’s Mauryan Empire being two of the most notable examples. These civilizations have left behind a rich cultural and architectural heritage. Economic cooperation: Despite being competitors in some areas, China and India are also cooperating economically, with both countries seeking to strengthen trade ties and invest in each other’s markets. Border disputes: While there have been tensions and disputes along their shared border, China and India have generally maintained peaceful relations for thousands of years, with a shared goal of promoting economic cooperation and stability. Cultural exchange: There has been a significant exchange of cultural ideas, art, and literature between China and India throughout history, with many Chinese and Indian artists, writers, and philosophers influencing each other’s work.

I don’t think we can ever get any meaningful benefits from U.S.. And even if it comes, it will come with lot of baggage..

The question is how all of these would come together is difficult to anticipate..

China only exports 300 billion to USA now, which is almost the same amount as Russia. China is more decoupled from America today than in last 30 years. China is about the dominate the global auto industry, and this will hurt Germany unless Germany is allowed to keep selling in China. So this puts pressure in EU to break its American relationship, which is good for Russia.

#AskAbhijit Sir, we all know that China is going through a "Demographic Disaster". However, what are your thoughts on the argument that Robots and AI will replace the workforce and parts of the army. We have seen that AI is already part of warfare with its usage in cost effective drones, so in 20 years can AI replace a chunk of soldiers as well because war is changing too and in 20 years robots and AI will progress by leaps and bounds.

Then given your logic and comparison of Russia-Ukraine to India - Pakistan would it be ok for India to attack Pakistan and take territory as it sees fit? And, then should the West allow such blatant disregard for Rules based world we try to live in? Can India get away with it by calling it laughably a ' limited military action" ? And, if China decided to increase its occupation in Eastern Ladakh even more by sending massive troops towards Delhi, would it be again considered not a War but a limited action? Of course we know that India is playing a strategic high wire game to ensure its desire to economically rise and use its demographic dividend to be successful. It needs raw materials, oil, military hardware, and market for its exports of human capital as well as services. Why demonize the West and particularly USA and become an apologist for oppressive dictatorship to achieve that? India is playing the geopolitical game of GO as are other major powers. Tomorrow India will source it s military hardware from N. Korea and oil from Iran and minerals from Russia. But should not expect to get a free pass from the West for doing business with these rogue nations. And the big gorilla in the room is China who is well entrenched with the above mentioned sister socialist countries or Theocracy as is Iran. In a clash with China, which India perceives as its biggest and inevitable adversary, will Russia or Iran or N.Korea support India? India's only option will be to become another China vassal. China will not let a multipolar world emerge in its backyard: Asia.

Nothing is tough if you speak truth to power. It's tough if you sit on a barb wire fence unwilling to take an independent stand. What use is NON-ALLIANCE? Take for instance the ongoing GENOCIDE in GAZA - all kudos to SOUTH AFRICA for leading the case to the ICJ. Both SOUTH AFRICA and India understand the pain of being under OCCUPATION, yet India's silence on this GENOCIDE is deafening. It relegates India to a weak nation status INTERNATIONALLY. At least CHINA has spoken the truth - that people who are OCCUPIED have every reason for self-determination - "by all available means, including arms struggle." India being the LARGEST WEAPONS IMPORTER from ISRAEL doesn't absolve it of speaking truth to power. Gandhi would have certainly called it because he understood the message of SATSANGA.

As hard as it may be to not take the US accusations of an 'India backsliding into illiberalism' personally, try not to. This type of phrasing from the US is simply our go-to accusation now for anyone who resists the narrowly set and incoherent prescriptions. It's leveled at citizens domestically, at troublesome citizens and leaders of the EU who want to act in their own interest, as well as any other nation who doesn't sit firmly in pocket. Unfortunately, this claim, I think, will inevitably become an empty and meaningless accusation via overuse, perhaps a case that is most scary of all. Anyway, great content as always.
