Off The Cuff with Shivshankar Menon

[@arungupta7454]

Always a pleasure to hear and consequently learn from Shivshankar Menon. Crystal clear in his and country's views and stands. Draws a clear line between in being true and fair versus the fake rhetorics.

[@vivekyadav1]

I love how Shivshankar Menon tries as much as possible to ignore what Shekhar Gupta says.

[@arunsar7893]

@@himanshu8276 Exactly like Brajesh Mishra, the First NSA and J.N Dixit, the second. 3 of the 5 NSA have been diplomats. You understanding of what National Security is, is pretty limited.

The only guy to come on a talk show and turn it into an intellectually refreshing lecture. SG almost looks like a schoolboy in front of him. Love SG Respect SM.

A wonderful, pragmatic presentation without unnecessary rhetoric.

Considering the post Galwan valley situation, his words make immense sense. His depth of thought is very admirable.

[@bandzii1976]

Shekhar Gupta is nothing but a distractor. This is not an entertainment show. Serious interviews and talk does not require your uninformed comments.

[@whatsinthename8660]

Nothing but nuisance.

[@arin1512]

“But I’m amazed at the level of commentary and everybody speaks with such confidence about what’s going on and that yes now t’s down and now it’s up or it’s risk, it’s not; on what basis??”

[@akhaleefa]

It is a great programme. Every Indian should aim to make India a developed nation and start taking ownership of what I can do for the country than asking what the country can do for me. Without high aims nothing important in life has been achieved. 1.35 billion Indians should make the country a green, clean, united, peaceful, progressive and a developed nation.

[@dmethil]

A really savvy and well-expressed session. Mr.Menon's non-partisan balanced approach to things is a joy to watch. An exercise in classic understatement, giving food for thought. As a Keralite and also a Menon, I take pride in him. Much different from the long-winded harangues of Shashi Tharoor

[@akhaleefa]

Very useful knowledge. Thanks for your efforts. Mr. Shekhar Gupta thank you very much.

[@naanchilnanban]

Really is good to understand a former diplomat view of the world from an Indian perspective.

[@saurabhkumar619]

menon is a imposing personality!!!

[@anishmadappurakkal1356]

Mr Shekhar Gupta. While i like these interviews, you have become a major distractor with your frequent interruptions.

[@RanjitSingh-fu8sh]

Excellent analysis by Security advisor. I think all political leaders must listen before opening there mouth.

[@petagonkyi]

Non-alliance movement of India is a big myth created by Nehru for his hatred of West. Nehru aligned with Moscow and China (Hindi-Chinni Bhai Bhai and supported the Chinese occupation and colonialism of Tibet despite Nehru strong European Colonialism ). And as such India remained poor until India adopted the Western system and trashed the Soviet style of State control. Very soon India became a sort of economic powerhouse.

[@KrishnadasBharatikb]

Analytical, mature and an excellent world view. I'd prefer an updated version of 2019 from Shivshankar Menon

[@CartoonistVikrant]

intelligent person menon sir

[@nordsterngsd]

Shekhar, just ignore the criticisms. I like to see every viewpoint. Btw I used to sit next to Juzar Khorakiwala in school !

[@onkartiwari5742]

India's best NSA till date. His book choices is superb .

[@サブホモイチャクロボルティ]

ONKAR TIWARI never ever appoint a diplomat as nsa of a country especially a country like india where we have security risk from all side these studios kind of diplomat with a theoretical kind of approach are far far away from practicality and reality diplomats makes the worst nsa because every thing for them ends with a compromise

[@amartyamishra9802]

Worst

[@onkartiwari5742]

was shivshankar menon a worst nsa? what Ajit doval did? nothing other than rhetoric. he made worst relation with almost all the neighbors. giving speech in all the foreign countries doesn't make good relation with neighbours.

[@surad3559]

+Nitin B I feel doval has been horrendous... our relationship with all neighbours have been at all time low

[@tonysmith6967]

@@onkartiwari5742 Our relationship with neighbours started to sour under UPA because UPA let China supported communists grow in Nepal, Rajapakse in Srilanka, Also China's dummy in Maldives but Doval changed in both Srilanka & Maldives. Those govt were elected much before BJP/Doval got into power.

[@ArjunKumar-qn3ex]

This guy is so smart

[@adia5191]

Mr Menon, what a personality! Shekhar Gupta is an expert at butting in with the most nonsensical statements....

[@pratibhasingh6412]

Amazing interview !! 😍

[@sandipadhikari644]

Mr Gupta, why r u interfering so much .

[@renjanpai4256]

I will disagree on the 26/11 Issue. We have to retaliate and tell the world also, so that the world take us seriously.

[@mirzahumayun5121]

It is like teaching post graduate lessons to 5th standard audience as for as foreign policy is concerned...it includes internal security...economical interest...diplomatic niceties...strategic interest...geo politics...this subject belongs to well trained people and are experts in their chosen fields....the country's so called educated lot would do a great service to the country by keeping their mouths shut....jai hind...

[@helllohi2098]

what a smart person we were luck to have such a smart NSA

[@nanhshirk]

A very balanced view. However I beg to differ with him on his view of the Chinese psychology. They are in a hurry to grow - in fact too much of a hurry. But they are always looking at the outside world. You cannot keep their citizens under gag for much longer and the internal unrest will start the day they remove restrictions on travel of their citizens. Right now they cannot even travel to many parts of their own Country without permission, You cannot have a modern super-power with archaic laws.

[@kwokmanlam6836]

As today 2020,Chinese can always travel freely inside or outside of their country unless there is a lockdown.

[@prashanthkaranth4688]

Nice questions from the guest

[@goodforwatch]

mr. gupta is hilarious i don't know why people give him so much crap? he understands that you gotta throw in some entertainment...

[@bhuwanvikram08]

this is what we need, wish there was more such talks and less 'India wants to know' style debates!

[@kamleshprajapati6621]

Personnely I don't like Shekhar Gupta sir But Beacase of NSA I watched this video and like it.

[@suppiahmurugesan8343]

Policing, in the Indian context, should come directly under Home Affairs instead of leaving this to states.

[@petagonkyi]

Doklam is a dispute region between Bhutan and Tibet. India and China has nothing to do with Doklam.

[@ramachandranmueller-jungbl2105]

I think you have spent the last few decades in a dreamland. Tibet is an integral part of China and Bhutan has a treaty with India to defend them. So it does concern both India and China directly.

[@pagan-540]

In Sumdorangchu India did nothing. Chinise did what they wanted. On 26/11 India did nothing and Indian capacity was measured by the international community accordingly.

[@breathlessMay]

Shekhar, you dont sit on the head of someone you mentor, and position as the new vibe that will redefine journalism in India. Stop being the grandfather here.
