Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, addressed an event on 3 June. While speaking on the US-led axis and China-led axis as another potential axis in the world, he said, 'This is the construct you are trying to impose on India. Don't think it is necessary for India to join any axis. India entitled to make its own choices which will be a balance of its values and interests'

I am a Chinese living in America, and I have to say that Jaishankar is a glittering example of what a diplomat should act and sound like. Our Western politicians and media are liars who don't care how often they are wrong. I have always believed that there is no shortage of smart and talented people from India, and if enough of them make it into leadership positions, India will become a superpower. It's time for the West to learn something from India and stop being so arrogant.
What India and China have to offer the world is DEEP wisdom built over thousands of years .. There were libraries in Nalanda that were many kilometers long and had students from both INDIA and CHINA -- It was burned to the ground by Islamic invaders in 12th century who had no understanding of what they were destroying.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalanda
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalanda#Destruction_under_Bakhtiyar_Khalji_(c._1200_CE)
This was BEFORE Oxford and Cambridge had a single brick to their name. Well before the west conquered and looted both countries.
India and China need to, TOGETHER, define their own destinies. We will be example to the world when we put our mutual differences aside. The small wars we fought will be forgotten.
India needs to put right person at right place
well said Colin Zhou
thanks for this sort of comment Colin.

Brilliant answer
Brilliant answer
Damn! underrated.
He's in Different league in Savageness.
In many ways !!
The best line from him "I don't agree with you does not mean I am sitting on the fence, that means I am on my ground".
You are right
Ikr phrasing is so important
Thats gangsta from Dr Jaishankar. Great Answers
"Europe's problems are the world's problems, but the world's problems are not Europe's problems" - the bitter truth. Well delivered Dr Jaishankar. Hats off!!!

calling illegal genocide, rape, murder a conflict ... taking ukraines name over and over repeatedly instead of Russias, calling it a ukraine conflict instead of russo ukraine, or rightfully, russian aggression is to your intelligent minds praiseworthy!!!!

"I am not sitting on the fence....I am sitting on my ground!" BRILLIANT!!
Yeah, India is not sitting on the fence, they are squarely in the US/EU/Israel camp despite their failure to cheerlead for Ukraine. Anyone who does not understand this is not paying CLOSE attention. Buying oil from Russia is one thing, aligning with China and Russia against the US is an entirely a different matter. India believes that by helping the US bring down China, it will boost its own fortunes. But this is a wrongheaded view - the US will USE India in a divide and conquer scheme to stay on top of BOTH countries. The US knows a united Asia means they no longer will lead the world, so they are using India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan to divide Asia to support US hegemony. However, the people of Asia don't want to be divided. The Chinese love Japanese food and traveling to Japan, love Korean drama and music, and yoga from India. Culturally, there is substantial movement toward Asian unity. Asians see themselves as part of a Greater Asia, which is scaring the bejesus out of the United States. it is only at the government level that a divided Asia seems possible.
@Roman Reigns why does it matter ?
@@MetteyyaBrahmana India aligning with China? Whatta a joke
I think most of the ministers which we have in Modi's cabinet are such, these are not chosen because of any family legacy but because of share brilliance and skills. Leadership and credit for making such a brilliant team goes to Modi
Still people in the west are in a way believing that they can influence India and geton with their version & views
India is an independent country & has its own views and will do what their people need & that does not mean siding with anyone.
With great diplomacy with Saudi Arabia Biden was very successful 😂 in adding more misery to the ongoing energy crisis & the west wants India to join them to make things more worse here!
"Europe problems are World's problems, World problems are not Europe's problem" Iconic statements can be applied in any situation.
👍
Remember how europe didn't help poor counties in getting covid vaccine. They hoarded vaccine and delayed supply for poor countries. Millions lost their life due to greedy vaccine makers. Now asking us to condemn Russia. We are not slave's.
one of the best statements ever!
I guess every other country that is trying to help Ukraine should remember this?
@@Mike-cz2yw I hope Europe remembers everyone who helped them. Given, how they are framing India to be supposedly funding Russian-Ukraine war by buying oil WHEN THEY BUY RUSSIAN GAS THEMSELVES! Heights of hypocrisy

as an American - I say India should be doing what is good for India. Times have changed.
India also deserves a seat at the UN security council
cspdx11
Thanks ! As per Wiki, China's population is 1412.6 million, whears India's 1410.3 million & rapidly growing compared to China. India will displace China (where population remains stagnant) by the year-end as the most populous(No.1) country . Initially China was given a permanent seat at the UN security council, because of its largest population. Now will the same criterion be applied & India given a (permanent) seat in the UN security council? Indian presence (& effectively non-partisan) there, will stabilize global politics.
There are some misconceptions among Western countries about population growth. India's growth isn't that big compared to many countries (in Africa & Latin America). China has enforced population control by brutal, undemocratic methods(one child norm); but now is getting the lower end of it. China isn't finding sufficient young people to man her humongous industries, supplying to the whole world. She has more old people to be taken care off (median age 39 years), while India has "youth bulge" (median age 29 years) to worry about, to put them in jobs. Had the situation in India been like in China with large scale industrilisation (production) things would've been manageable. Even in India, the South has a stagnating population as prosperity has ushered in, an attitude of having 2 children (it is on par with Eastern Europe) while in North, things are still unmanageable. Population growth tapers down as prosperity rises, making young couples plan the cost of rising a child for good life. After reaching a peak, India (as a whole) might get into that bracket of low fertility.
An issue irritating me is, some guys keep flaunting statistics & figures relevant some 7 years ago, but are no more valid.
Actually, as a citizen of a country who also desires a seat at the UN Security Council, if I wanted to be frank it is the Council which should be abolished. It is the living proof of the Orwellian maxim that "some animals are more equal than others."
@@MrPoornakumar false. Our (India's) population growth has stabilized at a factor of 2.1, that's replacement population and not a rapidly growing one. It's only for the better. At the same time, china's population is decreasing.
@@tiagorodrigues3730
I agree. Can it be done? Is it possible?
India wants be in the 5, because her policies have been stymied by one or the other member, while one member (USSR, now Russia) considstently vetoed, for India. But this makes India dependant on one member (of the 5) & Indian foreign policy is tied to this apron strings, with no freedom to pursue policies.
As India was once (but turned down) deserves to be in the top 5 (or 5+). India is going to be the No.1 most populous nation in the world displacing PRC, may be by the year-end. With 17.6% of humanity wouldn't it be justifiable (to get a permanent seat in UN SC)?
@@ApurvJyotirmay
India's population isn't rapidly growing. But compared to PRC where it has stagnated (almost no growth) it is growing. In comparison, Indian population at 1410.3 million. PRC has a population 1412.6 million & the gap is 2.3 million (these are estimates as per Wiki originating from World Bank or IMF). To add to the confusion India skipped (for the first time) census in 2021.
In any case, by this year end (or before) India will reach an unassailable position, No.1 in population.

Thank you brother but you have to understand that jaishankar is not our only leader , every indian individual having this much knowledge is very easily capable of answering these stupid questions and dr jaishankar himself praises this
I love these quotes: "You know Europe has to grow out of the mindset that Europe's problems are the world's problems but the world's problems are not Europe's problems." "Look I don't think I'm sitting on the fence if I don't agree with you. It means I'm sitting on my ground." "New players will come. The world will not be as eurocentric as it has been in the past." So wise. The interviewer was so disrespectful and antagonising with leading types of questions in the public court of opinion.
Exactly 💯❤️
I can guarantee you that had the interviewer been a white skin American, he/she would have been much more friendly and less hostile towards the minister than this American lady of Indian origin and this is the sad reality.

sadly, most indians i speak to in india, speak about ukraine conflict in analytical terms, just as Mr Jai Shankar. They lack empathy, he could have first included, paid homage, to the suffering of ukrainian civilians before addressing world strife in this resultant conflict!!! In Russia they suffer, sugar price has gone up, no iphone, Mcdonalds are common complaints by russian people....how does that compare to Ukrainian lives turned upside down, women, grannies, girls raped, then executed, no homes, electricity, water!!! By same degree of comparison, if world is lacking food, oil or prices have shot up, it simply does not compare to the homeless kid orphans, missing body parts whose parents were brutally executed before their eyes!!! Mr Jai Shankar, Modi gov and almost all Indians, you forgot that Mahabharatha never taught self preservation at the expense of SELFLESSNESS!!!!
@@awesomed007 Leave it Man! So called Right Wingers who dont even know True Hinduism will call you "Librandu"here. I have stopped fighting here. All are Andhbhakts. Btw, what S Jaishankar ji has said is similar to what Nehru said on 3 November 1948 on Europe.
i was telling this to my colleague who is extreme left and was lecturing on India's stance on Russia - Ukraine war..... When white people fight its world war..... when white people are killing blacks, arabs or others its not world war ....
So I told him....this war is not world war.... its war between two countires .... I also asked him did UK banned China during stand off with China???? Did Uk bann Pakistan for spreading terrorism across India???

As an American, I wholeheartedly applaud Jaishankar's wisdom, balance, grace, and erudite honesty. What a gem of a minister he is for India! I only wish that our own "diplomats" at the State Department (master liars Blinken, Nuland, Sullivan) would have 1/10 of Jaishankar's honesty, grace, humility, and sophistication.
This interview was obviously staged to put pressure on India to fall in line with the West, and it's refreshing to hear Jaishankar's well informed, balanced, and extremely gracious rebuttals to all the loaded questions from this stooge of an interviewer. It's also interesting to see that the tiny and insignificant country of Latvia has become an extremely loyal lapdog of the US in Europe, whose government suddenly became so emboldened as to diplomatically recognize Taiwan and break off diplomatic ties with Beijing (while ignoring the grave political & economic consequences of doing so). The loaded question from the Latvian "freelance" journalist was just another premeditated jab at India, which of course conveniently ignores all the crimes and atrocities carried out by the Ukrainian Nazis against their own Russian-speaking citizens in eastern Ukraine, the fact that the Ukrainian military used their own Ukrainian civilians as human shields in battle (as reported by Amnesty International and by Ukrainian villagers on social media who had just escaped such kidnapping by their own military), and the fact that Zelensky and his cabinet members embezzled billions of dollars of aid provided by the West. Janshaikar's dignified and gracious rebuttal was absolutely fantastic! I think (and hope) that India and China will eventually sort out their issues on their own, and become counterweights of their own on the global stage.
"Ukraine on Fire" is a well researched documentary by the Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone, who himself was in the US military that fought in Vietnam. Everyone should watch the film to learn about the whole story of the Ukrainian crisis.
This is the reason and culture we get from our motherland and that is why Indian are successful community worldwide.But westren still think that we are the land of snakes ..

@@abhinashkumar3161 totally, this interviewer annoyed me (I can't believe how graceful and patient the minister was!), she kept insinuating that India had to listen to the West and obey them in their position against Russia. This is ridiculous because unlike a small country like Romania which really does need a big country to protect it, India is a one of the great powers of the world (and only rising), it doesnt need to hide behind the skirts of anyone!! India is one of the few nations that can forge its own way in the world and actually act in its OWN best interests... what is this interviewer implying anyway, that people in India can't take cheap oil/resources from Russia to increase its own peoples living standards because she thinks India needs to suffer for the silly political games the West is engaged in with Russia? Good on India for making its own decisions in its own interests 👍 one of the few countries that can ignore the demands of these control freaks!

Wow
The thing is Jayshankar acted like they are purchased for Indian public very cheap crude oil but not even 10 rupees got reduced its a big scam
I feel so proud as an Indian to see an Indian foreign minister scrutinizing the western countries for their double standards and errocenteric view. India will stand for the own people and rest of the world people when it really matters but India don't want to interfere and encourage war between two countries rather than peace talk.

But he doesn't look like Taiwanese. His looks are Indian and his colour is brown
India and its leadership’s current stance is very admirable. A Nuclear and a Spiritual India, as long as it maintains it’s neutrality is a beacon of hope for Asia, and the World as a whole.
This is what our prime minister said "india's growth makes world's growth"

Jaishankar One Of The Best Foreign Ministers I’ve Seen, He’s His Own Man, Representing His Country’s Interest, Not The Interest Of United Kingdom America Or European Union. You Have To Respect Him, He’s A Great Example To The World
She's a witch of a journalist. She's really trying to push him to an answer.
Actually she was 😛

And he said, "WE" are one fifth of humanity. He is conscious of what he is doing. He feels he is representing Indians from "all over" the country.
“I am One-Fifth of the World’s Population!”
Very well said Minister. 👏🏼👏🏼

I search and watch this full interview and I'm not even Indian. My utmost respect to Dr jaishankar.
This interview is the case study for the colleges and the students of political science. Beautifully done!

He is a classic example of a smart diplomat and he reflects India's position in the global arena... Well said sir
the people of India must be overjoyed to have leaders like this,
Yes we are
We are fortunate to have top ministers working for indias growth. Guys vote for bjp, listen liberals and katwe, i am christian. For me nation come first, unlike you who is like stray dog roaming where food is....
We are worried abt next decade. A country must work on its leaders and prepare many options till the time seats are vacant again.

Hell yeah...... We are lucky to have Mr. Jaishankar
India has a fantastic foreign minister. The man speaks so eloquently & he's simply brilliant! As an African, I can confidently say that India has been by Africa's side especially when Western governments have tried to impose sanctions on Africa. Much respect to India. They're definitely a giant on the global stage not just in terms of population but also economically (5th largest GDP) & militarily (4th most formidable military according to GFP - Global Firepower).

I m just asking you
Do you know anything what's going on our borders ??
@@ILuminateInsights the Chinese ministry of foreign affairs says India soldiers obstruct Chinese soldier's patrol, but it's still have diplomatic communication between two sides. And that place return to peace now.
In Chinese social media, we are not that much care about this kind of things. There are always some small conflicts upon the India-China border. and only small conflicts. So normal peeople don't have that much interest on it.
@columbuschi5218 Dude you don't have any freedom in media !!
They just showed what they want to see
Just thing As a neutral person??
And I am also seeing huge protests again xi in china !
So It is just like he is distracting you from his political failures !
“No, I’m sorry. This is exactly where I disagree with you”
Every country is a gangster until India starts taking it’s stand.
As a citizen of the EU, I wish wholeheartedly that we too will have politicians who are so well prepared, who are obviously so proud of their country and people. This gentleman shows up our politicians for what they really are - corrupt, servile to the US and more or less useless.
You're right. European countries and the rest of the western countries are not really sovereign and independent. Much like South Korea, Japan and Philippines. All beholden to the warmonger in chief.
