As a Canadian Sikh Abijit has confirmed a lot of suspicions I had abou these Khalistanis. BTW The vast majority of us Sikhs here in Canada are children of Bharat Mata and we want to see a united and strong India 🇮🇳
I lived in Toronto for some time. I can only describe Sikhs there as Hindus, who became Islamized and completely alien. They have no Dharma. They have concepts like Beadbi (sacrilege) which is very Islamic/Abrahamic. They are wildly racist towards other Indians who are non-punjabi or non-sikh. I decided never to enter another Gurdwara after my experience there.
You don’t even have to justify. We know that. Being a taminilan in Kolkata when I book a can if a Sardar ji is the driver that’s when I know 100 percent I’m safe. You know what I mean.
As an Indian sikh and being completely against the idea of Khalistan, the only thing this growing Khalistani sentiment abroad worries me about is how it impacts the outlook of Sikhs in India. Some people tend to generalize and look at all sikhs with raised eyebrows lately. There has been a lot of hatred.. racist comments like “oye papaji.. lassi.. khalistani..” all over social media. This is not coming from a position of selective bias but please check the comments section of any post which has a sikh in it. I would highly urge all indians to please keep in mind that all sikhs are not khalistani. We have made numerous sacrifices for our country and we don’t want to part away. Please make sure you correct anyone who is labeling all sikhs as wrong or trolling them online for no reason. Jai hind. Waheguru ji ka khalsa.. Waheguru ki ki fateh.
I am a Hindu living in India and I consider Sikhs as my brothers. I absolutely know that there is a line between being a brave Sikh and being a coward Khalistani. We are with our Sikh brothers and the useless Khalistan movement will vanish soon. Jai Hind!. Har Har Mahadev 🔱🔱🙏🙏. Waheguru ji ki Jai 🙏🙏🪷.
all the religions originated in India, including Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism & Buddhism are a family of religion, they have similar value system of empathy & love towards each other.
As a resident of Canada for 30+ years, I'm amazed at Abhijit I-M's accuracy in analyzing Canada connection to Sikh issues. Abhijit provides the sort of comprehensive picture which I only understood after living many years in this country. I should add, many Sikhs in Canada are also tired of feckless Canadian politicians who are too cowardly to take a principled stand against Sikh extremists. After the 1985 Air India bombing, the Canadian Sikh community was on the "backfoot" for a few years, and eager to show that only few "bad apples" were extremists, while most Sikhs are law abiding and mature. But as more SIkh MPs got elected in Canada, the radical elements have gotten bolder, and Canadian politicians have been too slow/stupid to respond. One of my Sikh friends stopped going to the gurudwara in a major Canadian city few years ago, as he noticed open hate speech against India and "Hindus", and my friend didn't want his children exposed to such nonsense. About 25years ago I lived in a small Canadian town where Hindus & Sikhs came together for festivals etc in local temple as well as gurudwara. But as years passed, the gurudwara had new rules for hall rental for private functions like, "No pictures of devi/devtas allowed inside, no vrats or pujas, only family functions" and so on. The Hindu temple never had such rules against Sikh or non-Hindu traditions, even until today the temple is welcoming to all. Another inadvertent manner Justin Trudeau is helping Sikh extremism: Canadian economy has been badly mis-managed in the last decade by Trudeau's administration, and living costs have sky-rocketed. Immigrant youth come to Canada with big hopes, then they realize they have to work 2-3 jobs just to make ends meet. As more struggling Sikh youth go to gurudwaras for support, they may be at risk of radicalization.. depending on what groups are controlling the institutions.
This is very sad to hear. Interningling is the most important part of these traditions. I wish more people would call out the hate speeches to nip them in a bud and more sikhs would join Hindu orgs or at least make sikh orgs to join hands with Hindus
Good points but when talking about terrorism let's also not excuse "Pragya Thakur" who still has terrorist charge which was never acquitted. Out on the "excuse" of breast cancer which was remediate by drinking gau Mutra. Hindus have also started looking up to hitler as godly figure and hindu extremist groups are the oppressors and have deeper dark desire to wipe every other religion but they try to hide the ill intentions as best they can, not all hindus are like that but toxic tribalism is being shoved down their throat, only the educated, high moral and intelligent ones have not been consumed by this. There is no insurgency but there is a big push to eliminate all minor religions and make India a Hindu only rashtra, from 1975-1977 modi was hiding and living as a sikh when indira imposed emergency, sikhs weren't khalistanis back then or when they fought valiantly in war of 1975, or wars before that, and British imperialism before that, and afghani durranis before that or mughals before that? How come whoever comes to power has a battle to pick with sikhs? That's because they stand with the weak and fight for them and that's why oppressors have hated sikhs. Current scenario is a fight against Adani and sikhs will not let India be enslaved again by the hands of these petty oppressors and greed hateful pricks. Bana Garja Singh and Baba botta Singh. 2 sikhs, challenged the mughals and they sent 200 soldiers to kill them, they fought till their last breath and killed 30 of them, tell that to Adani. You can kill all the sikhs like you have been doing so far by false allegations and tarnishing their repute by lies but have you know that when peshwas lost to Afghanis in Panipat, they took their women to sell them in "ghazni" bazaar in Afghanistan where Jassa singh ramgharia intercepted and saved peshwas women, why no brahmin, rajput, rss or extremist hindu organisation or any king dared to save them? And hari singh nalwa took the battle to them in Afghanistan and captured their castle, the first demand sikhs made was to return, the spoils of somnath mandir. Guru nanak called babar a "jaabar", was he khalistani too? All this is repeat telecast of what indira did to sikhs in 1984 (raw officials have confirmed) sikhs were used to win election, now bjp is in power they are copying their strategy. All this is to win elections and bring those farm laws back, if those protesters were khalistanis, why did they stopped protesting at Delhi, once those laws were taken back and why did modi took it back? Average human IQ is 100, India 's average iq is 83,you can check. That's why dumb people would not understand this and continue to spread venom and in a dumb country that works. So, no hope, no future. Continue spreading lies and hate.. Thats all you can do..
I came to canada for undergrad and you mentioned everything I noticed, being a punjabi hindu I have noticed hatred against us in gurudwara to a level I dont feel going
I’m from Australia (not Indian) such interesting dialogue! Honestly I hope we become the best of allies. Sounds crazy but Indian immigrants are basically the only good ones in masses, so peaceful so educated they hardly ever commit crime and unlike Muslim immigrants they’re hardly trouble makers. You also adapt to other cultures quite well example how women dress and act in the west 😅 you are both very smart people and I love ur political views the west wouldn’t even think of ❤
Thank you that’s so kind 😭🥰 most Indians love Australia too. I have family out there who grew up there and basically the kids consider themselves Australian

Hey Abhijit Chavada Sir🎙️ I've been a dedicated follower of your geopolitics and as well as podcast, and I must say, the insights you bring to the table are truly valuable as you started my journey of geopolitics. I was just NAIVE like most of the people today but you showed the real truth!! I dont know if you agree to help me or not but I'm most thankful to you to start my geopolitics journey!!❤ I'm thrilled to share that I'm in the early stages of starting my own podcast channel. 🚀 As someone who admires your expertise in, I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions you might have on finding high-value guests. Your experience and perspective would mean a lot to me as I embark on this podcasting journey. Keep up the fantastic work! 🙌 Looking forward to soaking up more wisdom from your future episodes! Best, Gyanendra Gaurav 🎧
@@visheshbansal3247 Actually bro I don't have a audience base.. I'm just thinking of starting a Podcasting Channel so that's why I'm looking for guests..
I agree 💯 the chairs look comfy, the conversation seems more natural and organic the host never interrupts the guest unnecessarily and doesn’t make weird constipated face
AC conducts an introspective and analytical podcast. Where as RA's podcast is having fun but skimming over the topic rather going deep and detailed. It depends on viewer which one one prefers.
Amazing Podcast. The only thing I can't make head or tail is on one hand Abhijit is optimistic on Indias self sufficiency on energy (Hydrogen & Solar) yet glommy on Indias development or economy. India as of now is $4 trillion GDP; it is remarkable considering we doubled it within last 10 years in spite of huge disruption like demonetization & Covid. Today India has the fastest growth rate and unless India don't fall in the trap of War or War like Conflict, India can easily become $7 trillion economy by 2030 which would be truly transformational. I don't expect, India to have West like Wealth like owning swanky cars or big houses. I expect India to have access to public transport, housing and food security for all. That would be truly transformational. The huge internal challenge off course will come from Islamist.
It is because of India's relative slowness in ramping up energy capacity. India added around 20 GW of power generation capacity in the last year. The Chinese did around 200 GW. There is a very clear correlation between energy utilization and GDP per capita. Every developed country on the planet has an installed capacity of around 2 GW per million population. For India, this means we need a minimum of 2800 GW. We are stuck at 417 GW and need to ramp up 7x to achieve developed country standards. So at this rate of 20-25 GW per year, we are going to need between 96-120 years to achieve what both the West and China already have in 2023. If India manages to ramp it up to 100 GW per year, then we still need another 24 years. Even though we may be self-sufficient, the world would have already accelerated beyond.
He is gloomy because of India's past habit of slow and inefficient govt. , bureaucracy, lack of longer term planning and How India is growing arithmetically not geometrically . The main thing required is radical change in the judiciary, education , bureaucracy etc which he thinks is impossible as he has seen how India has always under delivered. So I think from his perspective he is just fed up of seeing india miss opportunities
The only way India can be sustainable in the long run is by the restoration of meritocracy , spiritual goals and dharmic values in Indians. Without these, all we will have are flashes in the pan.
We are also yielding ownership and control in all sectors of the economy to foreign entities in a way China doesn't. The Chinese are sensitive to the threat of being colonised.
@@ananthan8951 well, Indian merit is leaving Indian shores not because they were denied Govt jobs. They leave because life is so much better outside India. The material comforts of a 60,000 per Capita GDP country beats that of a 3000 per Capita GDP country. The West knows this and are depending on this differential so that they continue to attract the smartest of the developing world. This also keeps their valuations intact. Hence, India's rise is looked upon with extreme suspicion in the West. The people of merit who left India should show their patriotism and inform the Indians in India of the various Thucydides traps the West lays for us.
Finally, Mr Mitra agreed on de dollarisation ,his past stance is strictly for the US dollar .He actually studies ,learns and ready to be flexible with his opinions which is why he id adored so much
I want Indians to stop being overexcited over Pakistan, I want India to behave as if Pakistan doesn't exist, we should be aspiring higher, competition with Pakistan is useless it will only drag us down.
No we should fight with pakistan.. war leads to innovation huh.. all the innovation in the civil life came from military technology.. if helps us to know what is working and whats not in our military technology.. pakistan is a blessing in disguise for india… meanwhile china is using pakistan to negate our growth.. we have to fight china in industry but pakistan in military
Main reason for success of this podcast is Abhijit Chavda is no “secular“ charlatan , not a fence sitter , no leftist ( beer biceps etc are odious specimens) and is very knowledgeable. Good stimulus brings good response.
I am telling you this man knows way more than he is prospecting! Like by a mile😄 His words are so analytically put forward for the show and its effortless🥸 crazy!
Two of my favourite people to listen to 😊 so refreshing to hear Abhijeet Iyer being interviewed by Abhijeet C who actually understands what is being discussed unlike many of the other podcasts 🎉
Thanks for speaking English! I’m bot that great speaking Hindi but I’m interested in Indian politics as a Punjabi ethnically, but an American nationally speaking. I’ve been seeing some great content on India that I’ve never seen before
Regarding illegal immigration, I’ve a friend who’s Italian and currently living in Cyprus was telling me that it’s extremely easy to get a citizenship in Cyprus. So rich Indians invest in a property and they get citizenship in Cyprus. After that they’re free to move into any of the EU countries
If you want to have an intellectual tour of the whole world and all the current affairs, with hilarious analogies, this is an interview you must listen to.
Abhijit is a gem 💎, I guess very few will have as comprehensive understanding of global culture, policies, events, history and what not, he has super understanding and perspective!
I (71) lived in Punjab until I was 16 years old. From my childhood till now, shikhs have been part of our lives, in india, the USA, and Canada without even being mindful of this way of life. So is with our children. Shikhs are wonderful people. Sikhism as originated and spread and practiced by 10 great Gurus is practically the best way of life full of peace, kindness, sharing, humility, etc.
@@SatpalVerma000 Indians will always remain Indians and Sikhs are also part of India and India infact needs freedom from those silks who call themselves khalistanis including you
Such a wonderful and thoughtful conversation. Both of u have rocked. I mean the host and the Dost. Host and dost both are mast.please keep coming with this sort of conversations which keep us posted about the pros and cons
Listening from spain...so sad to hear that Abhijit does not care for my country 😅 but I can understand where he comes from in the geopolitical spectrum. Very insightful conversations! Thanks for the podcasts!
#askabhijitsir As central finance and education ministers for the next ten years, which two experts, with all the odds stacked against them, can genuinely turn around India's economy and improve the nation's failing educational system? Thank you so much for the podcast!
AIM, You are missing out on a major aspect of the Solar panel waste disposal after its life. As of now, there is no solution to recycling of solar panels. That is why we can't go all out on Solar as the king solution for sustainability
Difficult, but I will set a reminder for this...speaking of which, you can add this to your watch later playlist and set a reminder on your phone or something

I'm thrilled to share that I'm in the early stages of starting my own podcast channel. 🚀 As someone who admires your expertise in, I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions you might have on finding high-value guests. Your experience and perspective would mean a lot to me as I embark on this podcasting journey.
Keep up the fantastic work! 🙌 Looking forward to soaking up more wisdom from your future episodes!
Best, Gyanendra Gaurav 🎧
Please do book reviews and ask the authors to talk about their books.

@@visheshbansal3247 I woundet if you any way can help us..
This was a banger of a podcast. Always love Abhijit Iyer-Mitra talking about geopolitics.
This was a pleasant surprise. I look forward to seeing the Abhijits.
With no offence to Ranveer - Abhijeet chavda Geo political podcast is PRO level .....
I agree 💯 the chairs look comfy, the conversation seems more natural and organic the host never interrupts the guest unnecessarily and doesn’t make weird constipated face
AC conducts an introspective and analytical podcast. Where as RA's podcast is having fun but skimming over the topic rather going deep and detailed. It depends on viewer which one one prefers.
Amazing Podcast.
The only thing I can't make head or tail is on one hand Abhijit is optimistic on Indias self sufficiency on energy (Hydrogen & Solar) yet glommy on Indias development or economy.
India as of now is $4 trillion GDP; it is remarkable considering we doubled it within last 10 years in spite of huge disruption like demonetization & Covid.
Today India has the fastest growth rate and unless India don't fall in the trap of War or War like Conflict, India can easily become $7 trillion economy by 2030 which would be truly transformational.
I don't expect, India to have West like Wealth like owning swanky cars or big houses. I expect India to have access to public transport, housing and food security for all. That would be truly transformational.
The huge internal challenge off course will come from Islamist.
It is because of India's relative slowness in ramping up energy capacity. India added around 20 GW of power generation capacity in the last year. The Chinese did around 200 GW. There is a very clear correlation between energy utilization and GDP per capita. Every developed country on the planet has an installed capacity of around 2 GW per million population. For India, this means we need a minimum of 2800 GW. We are stuck at 417 GW and need to ramp up 7x to achieve developed country standards. So at this rate of 20-25 GW per year, we are going to need between 96-120 years to achieve what both the West and China already have in 2023. If India manages to ramp it up to 100 GW per year, then we still need another 24 years. Even though we may be self-sufficient, the world would have already accelerated beyond.
He is gloomy because of India's past habit of slow and inefficient govt. , bureaucracy, lack of longer term planning and How India is growing arithmetically not geometrically .
The main thing required is radical change in the judiciary, education , bureaucracy etc which he thinks is impossible as he has seen how India has always under delivered.
So I think from his perspective he is just fed up of seeing india miss opportunities
The only way India can be sustainable in the long run is by the restoration of meritocracy , spiritual goals and dharmic values in Indians. Without these, all we will have are flashes in the pan.
We are also yielding ownership and control in all sectors of the economy to foreign entities in a way China doesn't. The Chinese are sensitive to the threat of being colonised.
@@ananthan8951 well, Indian merit is leaving Indian shores not because they were denied Govt jobs. They leave because life is so much better outside India. The material comforts of a 60,000 per Capita GDP country beats that of a 3000 per Capita GDP country. The West knows this and are depending on this differential so that they continue to attract the smartest of the developing world. This also keeps their valuations intact. Hence, India's rise is looked upon with extreme suspicion in the West. The people of merit who left India should show their patriotism and inform the Indians in India of the various Thucydides traps the West lays for us.
Oh man I am a Punjabi but he understands Punjab far far far better than me.
Two legends whom the next generation will call as super legends
Abhijit square is always the best of combination. We need atleast 1 podcast with Abhijit square every week.
❤ to see both my favorite Abhijit's together again. Keep these coming please 👌🏼👍🏼
Don't worry sir believe in us Indian youth we will not let this country go down.
Finally, Mr Mitra agreed on de dollarisation ,his past stance is strictly for the US dollar .He actually studies ,learns and ready to be flexible with his opinions which is why he id adored so much
One of the podcasts the mass public and the Indian government must LISTEN. Please spread awareness!!!❤
Abhijit meet Abhijit - always a fantastic talk!
Great conversation covering most of the international burning topics. Thanks to both the Abhijit’s.
One of the most educated, non-argumentative, podcasts out there.
Knowledgeable guys. 😊
Glad to have both Abhijits back together fantastic as always!
I am waiting for abhijit iyer mitra episode for a long time. Thank you for bringing him again.
I don't know why I like listening this guy. He's great at explaining anything
I want Indians to stop being overexcited over Pakistan, I want India to behave as if Pakistan doesn't exist, we should be aspiring higher, competition with Pakistan is useless it will only drag us down.
No we should fight with pakistan.. war leads to innovation huh.. all the innovation in the civil life came from military technology.. if helps us to know what is working and whats not in our military technology.. pakistan is a blessing in disguise for india… meanwhile china is using pakistan to negate our growth.. we have to fight china in industry but pakistan in military
I love Abhijit Abhijit conversation.. ❤
I learnt more about Canada in just this video than over a 12 years period. Amazing Abhijeets thank you guys kudos Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Main reason for success of this podcast is Abhijit Chavda is no “secular“ charlatan , not a fence sitter , no leftist ( beer biceps etc are odious specimens) and is very knowledgeable. Good stimulus brings good response.
The Abhijith duo does deliver according to their high standards ..kudos👌🙌🎉
Our lovely neela momo is back ❤
Iyervval
Both Abhijits together is the best kind of Podcast
Avijit Iyer sounds stunning when he adds meaning to his words instead of having folks running over to snoop google every now and then.😂😂😂
This video/podcast was recorded on 29th September. I think it's too late to release it on 3rd December as so much has happened between this period.
This is absolutely insightful and eye opening interview. Never hear such things and the particular deep perspective anywhere else. Thank you so much ❤
Its true,
There is no real khalistani moment.
Indian sikh are with India
I am telling you this man knows way more than he is prospecting! Like by a mile😄
His words are so analytically put forward for the show and its effortless🥸
crazy!
Both the Abhijits are on a rampage. 🤩
Two of my favourite people to listen to 😊 so refreshing to hear Abhijeet Iyer being interviewed by Abhijeet C who actually understands what is being discussed unlike many of the other podcasts 🎉
Please invite J Sai Deepak, Abhijit ji 🙏
Two most informative people talking and it's lovely to watch and get more and more information.
Amazing convo, words of wisdom, strategy and facts, Thanks Abhijit sir
One of the best podcasts I have ever heard... Thanks to Abhijeet calling Abhijeet 😉
Abhijit x 2 is always a delight to listen to
Thanks for speaking English! I’m bot that great speaking Hindi but I’m interested in Indian politics as a Punjabi ethnically, but an American nationally speaking. I’ve been seeing some great content on India that I’ve never seen before
Regarding illegal immigration, I’ve a friend who’s Italian and currently living in Cyprus was telling me that it’s extremely easy to get a citizenship in Cyprus. So rich Indians invest in a property and they get citizenship in Cyprus. After that they’re free to move into any of the EU countries
If you want to have an intellectual tour of the whole world and all the current affairs, with hilarious analogies, this is an interview you must listen to.
Couldn't stop listening to this guy for the 2 hours! What an interesting analyst and point of view.
Abhijit is a gem 💎, I guess very few will have as comprehensive understanding of global culture, policies, events, history and what not, he has super understanding and perspective!
Jai Ma. Bharati..Kindly repeat these electoral results in the GE 2024 and GE 2029
I (71) lived in Punjab until I was 16 years old. From my childhood till now, shikhs have been part of our lives, in india, the USA, and Canada without even being mindful of this way of life. So is with our children. Shikhs are wonderful people. Sikhism as originated and spread and practiced by 10 great Gurus is practically the best way of life full of peace, kindness, sharing, humility, etc.
@@SatpalVerma000 Indians will always remain Indians and Sikhs are also part of India and India infact needs freedom from those silks who call themselves khalistanis including you
@@SatpalVerma000I feel bad for your ancestors and gurus that have sacrificed alot for our country and u and your terrorist family wanna disgrace them
@@SatpalVerma000 hi pakistani troll, its baloch freein' time!!!
@Tillu_dream16-39 you my fried are dumb. Sorry. You should go see a doctor maybe they can drug you into happiness
@@Tillu_dream16-39and you a tattu 🤡🤡🤡
Abhijit is spot on, Khalistanis are trying to create/has created same model in Newzland, Austrialia and oher Westren countries.
Such a wonderful and thoughtful conversation. Both of u have rocked. I mean the host and the Dost. Host and dost both are mast.please keep coming with this sort of conversations which keep us posted about the pros and cons
Great conversation..❤... Want more conversation like this....
Two of the best voices I enjoy listen and learn from. 👍🏼
favourite duo Abhijit and Abhijit
This EP needs repeat watches to retain the knowledge for sure ! Love Iyer's height of sarcasms that added 'spices' to the conversations. 😊
Pannun as a raw operative is a plot twist I didn't expect 😂
Thank you for this wonderful conversation. ❤
"Credible rumours" was Epic.🤣🤣🤣
Supremely interesting! 29 yr old American from Appalachia tuning in!
Every single topic so beautifully explained. He is just a gem. God blessed us to have him sharing his knowledge to us.🙏
So informative !!
I love the combo of these two !
omg...2hrs of golden knowledge by double acting ABHIJITH...I will see n listen this tomorrow FREELY ❤❤❤
Very very informative session.Thank you to both Abhijeet 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Abhjits this was an amazing conversation honestly. 2 hours flew by so quickly. Thank you for consuctjng such a good talk.
This podcast is bombarded with information. I hope they should add pictures and videos about as they talk. It will further help the listener.
Nicobar port is built for bunkering of ships, competing with Singapore and Sri Lankan port, Galle. It is supposed to be feasible and profitable.
Singapore is in southeast Asia
How are you gonna compete lol
You guys are south Asia
It's very far apart.
What a wonderful podcast listening to two experts and their brilliant analysis
I've given a thumbs up even before watching the video .I know it's going to be great conversation . it's a treat to watch u two together 💕💖🥰💝🤗
Listening from spain...so sad to hear that Abhijit does not care for my country 😅 but I can understand where he comes from in the geopolitical spectrum. Very insightful conversations! Thanks for the podcasts!
#askabhijitsir As central finance and education ministers for the next ten years, which two experts, with all the odds stacked against them, can genuinely turn around India's economy and improve the nation's failing educational system? Thank you so much for the podcast!
Great conversation...AIM we need your wit and analysis for a long time to come..so pls stay in shape and stay positive!
AIM, You are missing out on a major aspect of the Solar panel waste disposal after its life. As of now, there is no solution to recycling of solar panels. That is why we can't go all out on Solar as the king solution for sustainability
Dear Sikh brothers, we have total trust in your loyalty to Bharat. Jai Hind.
Both Abhijits are ton of knowledge and perfect analysts of geopolitics and current affairs
Wonderful insights by both the Abhijits 👍🏻
This will be one hell of a podcast to remember
Pls comment on this after an year so i get to rewatch it again
Difficult, but I will set a reminder for this...speaking of which, you can add this to your watch later playlist and set a reminder on your phone or something
@@deepmedsing9961 thx man i added it to my google calendar
One of the best geopolitical video on internet. ❤
You’re a gracious host. Good discussion!
The best podcast I've heard on these subjects.
I LOVE U ABHIJIT & ABHIJIT .
One of the rare podcasts where the host actually allows the guest to speak.
And mind you, the host is equally knowledgeable in all these topics.
Such humility.
I love (Abhijit)²
Great show Abhijit & Abhijit
