Wignaraja is absolutely crisp with his policy outlook! Nice interview Jyoti ✌🏻

Srilanka culturally isn't just connected to South India through Tamils but also to North India through the Buddhist circuit

The Srilankan PM's visit was well received in both India & Srilanka. However Nepali PM's visit has not been received well over in Nepal. There's this Narco issue as well. Can you please get some insights from Nepal ?

[@SatyajithGundu]

Agree! We need some ground reporting from Nepal on Indo-Nepal ties.

[@ravikumarmistry]

Please become a good reporter and let the guest speak out his thoughts and stop guiding guests to the statement that you/we want to hear. We even learn and love to listen even if india is not at the center of every thought and talk.

[@mandarinandthetenrings2201]

Please understand the Prime Minister of India doesn't have the power to create a NAFTA like trade agreement like you see with America, Canada, and Mexico. Your government is setup to were the Prime Minister of India must share power with the Indian States. He is just one of 12 centers of power that work within the Indian government. Most likely the Indian states would veto any such trade agreement that India has with Shri Lanka or Nepal.

Audio makes about 80% of a good youtube video and this was a crappy one. You can get a decent mike for 2k now!

[@aadityaa153]

What is wrong with sound. I am listening it at 80 volume on my TV and still not clear. Usually my TV volume hovers from 20s to 30s.

[@user-hl6mk4ru9t]

It was a pleasure to hear Dr. Wignaraja's comments. Please attend to audio quality with a better mic.

[@amitpatil3702]

Need to improve video quality mam with audio

[@doctormafia6300]

Audio is bad

[@aquaritinturf3686]

China is too powerful for smaller countries to offend. China is ruthless if you cross its path - right now even citizens of China and overseas Chinese are discovering that. It has an ambition to become the dominant power irrespective of what it takes - espionage, stealing of technology, bullying etc. All its infrastructure assistance is also aimed at strengthening its military capability in a potential future war with US. It has made most of the world dependent on its products. It is well on its way to becoming a dominant power where smaller nations will have to grudgingly accept its hegemony.

[@Ram78979]

Jothi, Print please invest in extra mic. Sound is terrible.

[@kishoresidhwani]

Poor audio quality

[@rajeev4243]

Well said..so completely agree with the arrogance of western Media..even though Western Govt seem to have realised the value and heft of India and Indian diplomacy

[@vvk5372]

Poor audio

[@shishirsks]

Poor Audio! Why am I even suprised? Poor Audio quality is becoming a trade mark of ThePrint.

[@jyotiranjanmishra7717]

Bad Sound

PM Modi must take the island from them before any deals.
