NewsTrack With Rahul Kanwal: Historic India-Middle East-Europe Corridor Puts China On Notice

[@sukumarroychowdhury4122]

It's amazing Rahul. Thank you so much for this most amazing presentation.

[@dineshkumarsnair7964]

If any local historians makes a remark like this esp about Muziris from Kerala, he wont be given such a prime slot with Indis Today. If somebody sitting at London makes an existing fact known, then all of a sudden India Today will catch on.. Any one who wants to know more about the Muziris and its Trade with rest of the world, please Google for Mr Sashibhooshan, Archeologists, Trivandrum, Kerala

Assuming there is still a reason to trade with Europe

[@placeofvalue]

Would IMEC be a conversation had China not initiated the Silk road ? How about appreciating China for opening India's mind to sensational history. Stop the compitition and find and promote ways of working together to benefit mankind overall. Too much China jealousy from America, Ukraine and India.

[@sklux6147]

There are two aspects to the propsed IMEC corridor. Cost of building and the cost advantage after the corridor becomes operative. The two countries involved in this, UAE and Saudi, are not going to be the major beneficiaries. That leaves Jordan, Israel and Greece all of which have limited scope to exploit this more than the rent earning potential of this project which will be due only after the corridor becomes operative. That leaves European partners. They will not have overwhelming advantage after balancing out time gain advantage over cost disadvantage. Corridor is not just about transportation of goods. It is about connectivity which means ability to channel movements of goods as well as energy and communication lines. It is also about strategic derisking by means of creating alternatives. It can also be the means of facilitating the integration of chain of economies which are not very involved in trade etc due to historical and political reasons. Chances of success for any given corridor will be more based on solving the risk perceptions and on opportunities for aligning trade and strategic interests that it will create for countries rather than cost and time considerations alone. Middle Eastern giant economies have identified the need to establish infrastructure, services & soft economy before oil is exhausted. They have vision to transform into a sustainable global economic hub. They want to offer capital and connectivity to attract and support global commerce. They are willing to be partners in creating and servicing the regional network of economic corridors. These networks have commerce, communication and strategic potential to integrate the economies worldwide. In the current assessment the urgency for the newly proposed corridor is not overwhelming. It is more about creating distraction for China's BRI. Interesting days ahead. Good time to speculate. 😴 Satyamev Jayate! 🪷 Jai Hind!! 🫡

Dalrymple seems to be suffering from eczema. He has no hesitation in scratching all over his body. Strange behaviour I would say.

[@DomingosCJM]

The silk route wasn't limited to the time of Romans.

[@saibalsahoo8597]

Egypt banned Hijab and Boorka 🇪🇬

[@aryan109a]

@2:22 smail at the anchors face, is what I had at mine. Good to know mainstream media finally acknowledging the history.

[@Al-Pacca]

Will this multi-modal corridor bring down logistics costs, as compared to the existing Suez Canal route? Wouldn't the Hormuz Strait still be a choke point, posing trade risks?

[@aryaman05]

Hormuz, choke point, how ?

[@kb.e3762]

what the historian says about spice route being bigger and wider than silk route makes sense cause you can carry more goods through the seas than long distance through land.

[@Gamer_2047_]

where is this history in ncert?? were ncert historians blind? or incompetent that new channel have to talk about it xD

[@bharthyadav6794]

india still exports less than singapore we should increase our manufacturing capability first or this corridor will benefit other contries more than india

[@stevenlai1199]

Vande Mataram Bhai please do not redicule motherland, jai hind

[@banditonehundred]

But this route already exists, there is just no free trade agreement with Europe

[@99cschan]

Who is doing the financing, India, America or India? Anyway no harm dreaming.

[@99cschan]

typo: ......India, America or UK?

[@beynar3087]

This is a bullshit route because it already exists. India needs a fast and cheap rail route through Pakistan-Afganistan-Uzbekistan-Kazachstan-Russia-Ukraine-EU. Effective rail route needs few transhipments.

[@VedantaBaladeva]

Anchors are now changing thier way of anchoring...from shouting to podcast style

[@stennetmang]

all you can do is talk...this is not a price negotiation,build first and talk

[@valerianpereira1259]

Spice route; reincarnation; India has to live it up for generations to come. Great idea; So; India has to work on this route Swiftly. ASAP Let the Top Architects/designers/ draw the layout ; SIMULTAE THIS PROJECT ROUTE; ON COMPUTER SIMULATION; ON 3 AND 5 D PERSPECTIVE; Simulate back and forth from Europe to Bombay and Bombay to Europe. and with help from;Japan and korea; with Indian Military engineering Work on it in 5 years from now Start CRACKING. Clean and neat .. with FINESSE project.. History in making;

[@pkuppa9]

Talk to Bharatiya historians, not Rajdeep category (colonized slaves) and you will know more about the trade. Get over the fascination to the skin color, Rahul.
