Special thank you to Shekhar Gupta garu for acknowledging that everyone doesn’t understand Hindi. This channel is a blessing especially for the ones who doesn’t understand Hindi but crave for national news with qualitative journalism.
Mr. Modi is a visionary leader. Though I disagree with most of their ideological stand. But he has delivered much needed push on various issues. The most important is, "work or perish" style of governance. Thereon any government in future will have to perform to get elected. There's a self believe amongst the people to achieve national milestones and contribute in nation building.
So just one query. What tangible work he has done in the last 5 years, which was not done by any previous government? Job, School, college, improving Indian GDP growth rate, inflation, anything? Did he increase the per capita income of Indians by more percentage points than his predecessors? If you are responding, please give hard facts, data and not imaginative points.
@@BharatThatIsIndia Make in India (see the export). Digital India (40% of real time digital transection in the world ) Clean India resonated with people. Gas connection, accounts of 40+ crore Indians, electricity to almost all the village ( minimum 20 hrs uninterrupted every day). Look the ease of living. Most of the official work are getting done through mobile now, be it banking, GST n income tax, diver license etc etc. Look at infrastructure being built across the country ( nitin gadkari wonderful work). Border roads being built, our arm forces are being modernize. Look at Kashmir today. No bomb blast in the country. Sense of security, nationalism. Foreign policy ( jai shankar excellent minister). U name it. Huge foreign investments coming in. Start up culture amongst us youth. Man don't b so blind with hatred. Mr. Modi has received 15th highest civilian awards n honours from across 15 different countries. The Man must b doing something right. The world isn't mad( no world leader achieves such feet without delivering tangible development). The facts are for every one to see. Look at the no. Of IITs and IIMs. AIIMs increased by Mr. Modi. No. Of medical colleges ( my state assam, more than 20+ medical colleges and hospitals r being built. Just google it or UA-cam it)
@@BharatThatIsIndiaModi’s credit lies is ability to claim that success of Indian diaspora abroad is because of him, the truth is they are successful due to the reforms of the 90’s.
This analysis would have been more forceful if Shekarji spoke more about the lack of follow through. NAM died because of Nehrus lack of focus and follow through. Just like reforms, The kid and grandkid never bothered to follow through. A foreign policy can only be successful if there’s consistency and follow through especially between Govts.
To be fair, NAM never stood a chance. It was the post-colonial era, and the "3rd World" was ready to fall at anybody's feet for aid, food, military equipment, and protection. It is a new era now. I doubt Modi is serious about another block. It is mostly an issue-based dynamic block that will form and deform from time to time. India's main concern is to avoid choosing the "devil (the US) and deep sea (China)" situation.
@@sankalp6872you missed my point entirely. Even the best opportunities can become failures without follow through. Even the slimmest chance can become the greatest opportunity with good and consistent follow through.
@@libshastra "even the slimmest change can become the greatest opportunity with consistent follow through".. very true. But NAM's primary agendas = dislike for great power politics of CW era & decolonisation became irrelevant post USSR dissolution. It had no agenda. It had to peter out into oblivion. It was only natural. But the underlying idea of NAM = of sort of a 3rd pole = is very much the dominant thinking in the current Indian FP mandarins. EAM Jaishankar himself said the although NAM was dead, it's basic idea of choosing your own path towards international issues is the very thing that guides today's quest for "strategic autonomy". So imo, current dispensation has taken whatever was good about NAM & taken it forward. But NAM absolutely in its original form could never have survived since it was more based on equidistance rather than issue-based alignment or coalitions.
@@mchauhan4 again you miss my point. You can have a really good foreign policy but if you don't follow through with, it will become a failure. NAM was a product of it's time but it's failures were not because of structural factors rather it was disinterest - in other words lack of follow through. Each party became disinterested in common values proposed by NAM over time or followed their own policy. One of the most glaring examples of disinterest is the lack of condemnation with regards to Sukarno's overthrow by US and UK. That really cemented perception of India's lack of interest in SE Asia - which used to be the traditional domain of New Delhi.
@@libshastra If I had missed your point, I would NOT have upvoted your response. After NAM's cold shoulder to India's cause during the 1962 war, it was clear that the bloc was just an overhyped dinner party. India had no compelling reasons to follow through. Also, Nehru died soon after, and Indira Gandhi hitched and hiked the Soviet bandwagon. Also, Nehru wasn't NAM's only patron. Both Nasser and Tito had their own ambitions. Nehru had some vision. He had more failures than successes, but his vision was always a positive one. Indira Gandhi saw nothing beyond power and control. I see many on the right who are huge admirers of Indira Gandhi. The amount of damage she did to this country is immeasurable. Look no further than the paltry 2% growth rate under her. Many credit her for the creation of Bangladesh. I ask, how did that help us?
Nehru's socialist beliefs made sure that leftist ideas got roots in a predominantly right hindu mindset thereby our politicians could offer slogans for public and make neo Rajahs of themselves. That wasted 70 years of our self rule allowing counties like china to march over while we celebrated garibi hatao. Liberals and left ably aided by Rahul and co is desperately trying to bring their golden era back and hence even right wing BJP is more left and defensive now rather helping us by being real right wing in policies. God bless India.
We don't need to be left or right but Dharmic or righteous & truthful!! We thus need a DHARMO-cracy!! This corrupted, colonial democracy which panders to the Muslim league separatists & anti nationals who already robbed Indian lands to create Islamic Pakistan but stayed in India!!
socialism is a disease, and it has infected the entire world ever since marx wrote his god forsakened book. We need to understand that its evil and destroy it wherever it exists.
I love that you translate for us non Hindi speakers as well. I'm South Indian, and I had stopped following a few channels simply because they would start adding Hindi to their videos assuming everyone knows Hindi.
When did Nehru ever speak of any Global South? That near sighted man didn't even care about his own country's territories, forget about a global aspiration!
In MBA they tell you to focus on your rich customers but this is hard if you have the NGO mindset. Colonialism also makes it hard to do as the sins of the past are not forgotten
Every one grows up and they form new ideas and opinions. Same with the nations. Just because some one did something 75 years back, we donot have to blindly follow it. The geo political and economic scenarios are completely different. Those who donot change are condemned to misery. This applies to SG also

When India leads Global South it’s at the table of powerful and influential. It means shaping global decisions which work not only for some but for most of not all. This is not the same as being anti North or anti West. Perspective depends on lens besides vantage from where it’s being observed.
When India leads the "global south", it is sitting at the table of the poor and weak. Those whom we are too broke to help, and who are too broke to help us. Pakistan, Somalia, and Afghanistan are members of the Global South, what exactly do we have in common with them? Are they an aspirational model? The global south doesn't even exist. There is no such coherent group of countries. Most of the global south hates each other. The global south is little more than an Indian poverty fetish that stems from deeply ingrained socialist thinking in India. The only reason it is still a talking point in India is because it appeals to the deeply insecure voters back home. In terms of actual foreign policy, Modi understands this perfectly. That is why he attends meetings of the global south, makes a lot of friendly noises, and then works on a free trade agreement with Britain. He knows where the money's at.
@@vasusingh5909 Having an opinion is not the same as being biased. Yes, I absolutely have a very strong pro-Western bias when it comes to the economy. We need their help.

You talk about risk of BRICS+ becoming CHINA block, but without engaging with them, it will surely become one.

Shekhar Gupta is not Henry Kissinger. His views don't shape the foreign policy of Modi or anybody else. He is free to believe whatever he wishes to believe. Your view makes perfect sense, even at a pragmatic level. The Chinese overhang won't go away. In fact, it will only strengthen over the next 50 years. We need to set up our own emergency hotlines with other countries. Not everybody from NATO followed the US in its Afghan war. The same is the case with Russia's Ukraine war. We need to ensure that the Chinese or any other enemy manages to turn us into an international pariah.

India's stature has risen because of the economic growth which happened because of liberalization....the effects of which can be seen today and more importantly India is a big market because of the size of its population and that's why governments around the world are less critical of India because they also want a pie of this huge market (but they know what is reallyhappening in India in the context of liberal democracy)...and another reason is there is a huge indian diaspora in all the major western countries that also plays a part in it. The success of Indian CEOs around the world who studied in some of the best universities in the country and went abroad in the 80s or 90s and now they are heading some of the biggest companies in the world.
U r talking as if liberalisation was held back by some of us.And I guess u r understandings is liberalisation happened one day iike we got independence. India's success today is because a large chunk of people have started evaluating and taking decision as per their own evaluations and they no more depend on select few sources which was govt controlled .So more and norepinephrine people are standing,working for their own decisions.Of course one of it is giving a strong, decisive mandate to a person who has worked hard in his earlier role. Digest it
Nice words like "liberalization" CAN NOT HIDE the FACT that Congress~Nehru/Indira led corrupt license Raj made the nation INSOLVENT!! The IMF hence imposed on Maun Singh & N. Rao to lower their pants, send gold to UK & agree to IMF conditions!! That is the REALITY!!!
Thanks for keeping us nonhindi folks in mind. {I can speak some and understand it but not completely} Thoda thoda😅 . I think an important reason for resurrecting the 'global south' is tactical, to create space in negotiations on climate change. All political and economic global institutions are occupied/led by western countries.
ThePrint started with a vision of being "unhyphenated". Back when he started it, had Shekhar concluded that media would never be able to break from a BJP or a Congress "overhang", ThePrint would never have completed its 6 years and obtained over 2.2 million subscribers. I agree that the "Global South" is loosely defined, and India has no Chinese/US-like capital to distribute, but we have a HUGE MARKET; while that may not be enough for bringing countries to our side, it is a powerful incentive to prevent them crossing over to the enemy side. Also, there are many areas of corporation with the Non-China 3rd world. Scoring neutrality is also a WIN.
We do deserve a place in the global order. Does that place have to be next to poor countries with no technology or economy, or much of anything really? Why not next to the first-world countries of today? Who would you prefer to associate with? And who do you think has more to offer us?

@person1858 India associating with the so called first world countries forces us to align with the power blocs...Ukraine issue shows the tight rope India has to walk. Instead if the lead the new bloc, we become a global leader and an excuse to keep away from power plays.
@@sudharshankomandur4118 Hate to break it to you but here it is: there is no "new bloc". There is none. BRICS, "The rise of the third world", its all rubbish. You shouldn't even take it seriously. Why? Because at the end of the day, if you add up the gdp of the US, Britain, the EU, Australia, Newzealand, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and israel, i.e the western bloc, they are still a solid 60-65 percent of global gdp. Despite having only around a billion people combined. There is no country and no likely combination of countries that will ever be more useful to us than this group. Russia included. They just aren't as useful. We are in this grouping, or out. You decide what you like better, but understand that Nigeria and ethiopia, are never going to help us build a sixth generation fighter jet or a hypersonic missile. The third world is crap. As for toeing the line on ukraine, firstly, Singapore is tightly knit into this alliance and they have maintained some neutrality, secondly, are we so pathetic, and commitment phobic that we can't see any higher value than neutrality? Side with them sometimes, they side with us sometimes, why is that hard to stomach? We need to look out for our interests, and our interests are much better served by America than somalia. Period.
@@sudharshankomandur4118except "leading" the new bloc is extremely difficult as long as China is present. Like it or not, realistically China has a much larger global reach due to its economic prowess presently. We could probably unseat it in the future and should work towards the goal but it is important to not distort the realities at the present moment.
Just thinking of a scenario where China is the leader of the global South, which effectively is a group of countries that can't really do much on their own and might not be able to provide China much support militarily. While India is an ally of the US & Co. Even with all their challenges the US & its allies are much richer group both in terms of money & power. Which would be great for India, leading a group of also rans or being an ally with the powerful.
Fun fact: by most estimates, Russia's per capita income is already below China's. Bulagria, an EU member state also has a per capita income below China's.
Additionally, India must achieve development and manufacturing success similar to China to lead. China serves as a prime model for developing countries aspiring to become developed. While India is progressing, it hasn't made significant strides in surpassing barriers to establish itself as a manufacturing benchmark like China. India still maintains anti-manufacturing protectionism, and apart from a few elite institutions, its national education system struggles to produce highly skilled labor.
The reason why India did not emerge as a manufacturing powerhouse is only because the Congress never created infrastructure that can contribute to growth in production. Congress wanted only certain industrial and business houses to exist and helped only those who funded that party. After Sonia Congress came to power, they did a deal with China with the result that China dumped all their cheap products to India which proved the death knell to SMEs in the country. Congress destroyed the financial system of the country and the NPAs skyrocketed due to phone banking which favored people who funded them. So, Nehru and Modi had no comparison. Nehru was interested only to be leader of poor countries but mismanaged the relationship with powerful countries. Mr Modi is speaking for Global South from the position of strength and not from the position of weakness.
Dear Sekhar Gupta Ji, global South is an acronym in 1969, when South korea,China, Singapore etc were not on the path of economic powers and developed afterwards. And any rule has exceptions. It need not be taken literally.
Ahhh acronym?? Does it mean- GLOBAL - Growing Opportunities, Blossoming Economies, Land of Diversity SOUTH- Striking, Outstanding, Unique, Thriving Haven ???

Modi listens to intelligent career diplomats and other knowledgeable people and forms his strategy from this learning. Nehru thought he was a know all and formed his strategy accordingly.

One more important fact about grouping the Global South is that it has no permanent glue inherent in it. If we talk about taking care of countries with low GDP, well every country is trying to get richer, and some will succeed. If the GS is supposed to be post-independence colonies, well every nation had different experience under colonialism and different freedom struggle. The global South in the end will only become a tool for the strongest nation in it, as every other nation which has stake in the grouping will have to agree with it.
As hierarchical relations go, it's inevitable that any grouping, no matter what principle it's based on is going to be the fiefdom of the top dog in it.
NAM was dead on arrival as it was a post-colonial time with every newly independent country needing military equipment, food, aid, or other things from one of the two Cold War era blocks. Modi's Global South has no such compulsions. Global South is not a static block. It's a bunch of countries united on shared interests like climate change overreach, sanctions overreach, and others. The loosely assembled group might become an effective pressure group within the UN and elsewhere.
Shekhar Sir you are missing a very important point, USSR was never economically dependent on West. China is still not a military power only economic power dependent on west. India on other hand is able to balance the duo and has its own appeal. All said and done the reality is both China and India growth is at mercy of West
Can you tell us some stories from late 1990s, when India joined WTO, if you are aware of it ? India is often looked as an obstructionist, has been losing cases ( the lastest against EU on PLI), but is looked upon by the developing world with hope. In the end it is trade and climate financing where this part of the world needs proper leadership. Doesn't matter if one calls it G-77 or the global south.
I think it is opposite. West (EU UK) understands value of human live, but in India we're struggling, a lot needs to be improved, whether it's law and order or health services or education etc...

Thanks for acknowledging that atleast some of your viewers don't know Hindi. Atleast in my case, I can say that, I might know a bit of Hindi, but definitely there is a loss of many points other than the general feel of what you are trying to get to.
Australia and NZ can never be viewed as the global south or east. They are predominantly populated by people of European descent and their economic situation, culture and political systems have been married to the Global North. They have had full support of the West and they never went through the economic struggles that “global south” countries went through. They are practically the west or the north.
Shekhar Ji, your National Interest always gives a new perspective in my thinking process, which I truly appreciate. So thanks for that. I was looking into all the news of Dalits or muslims getting beaten up, killing in train in Rajsthan, Children enacting the play to destroy Babari Mosque, cow vigilante, Love Jihad darama, hateful Hindu and Muslim leaders speeches,etc. Obviously it is still within control and is managed by one political power or another. However, this beating of a muslim boy by his classmates on the encouragement of der teacher is far more dangerous than any Gunda beating someone. They are students of primary school and der teacher is like this. It has reached our children and it is against our national interest. I don't think China, Pakistan or any other country can damage this much. Your National Interest has a huge impact. No CTC, No Editorial will have that much impact. Could you please do a National Interest on this.
The video has emerged as fake and propagandist. The boy's uncle, who made the video, admitted that it is being shared with an incorrect and communal message. Meanwhile, another video has emerged from Kashmir where a student was mercilessly beaten up for writing "Jai Shree Ram" by a teacher of the Muslim faith. Sure, the second incident is not worthy of "National Interest", but the first incident is.
@@sankalp6872 People like you will always do this kind of thing. You are a bigot,nafrati, fool. Did forensics report of the video said that it is fake? Police has booked case against the teacher and what is in the video is der for everyone to hear. Why school gave compensation to the parents? Why politicians and locals are forcing them to not file case? Now, First of all, your whataboutery will never end. You guys can't see people without seeing der religion. I don't think you guys can see anything without using your bigot lens. When did the 2nd video emerge? Any leader who asked the Kashmir child parents to do "Compromise" with the school teacher? Also, you are so bigot that you can't see the difference. In Kashmir the teacher was bigoted and he beat the child. He should be in jail for that. But he was not making children to do it. So he was bigot like you and he must be punished. In UP, parents of Hindu Children should raise the issue first. They should file the case against the teacher first. That teacher is making der children bigot, Nafrati, idiot. She was destroying the career of Hindu Children. Do you put your brother, sister, son, daughter in that school? Bcz those Hindus are poor and lower middle class hindu, they should be made Gunda/bigot and brainwashed? Tum bahut beemaar ho. Ilaaj karao apana.
@@sankalp6872 Give me the instance where police has said that video is fake? Also read my comments first.

If we are not part of those blocs, we outright give China the freedom to freely run the bloc as they see fit and guide it for their own agendas and purposes. India's presence on it serves to balance China and allows us to exert influence on all countries that are unwilling to ally with the west. In case of a UN vote, all countries count equally and ny having influence over the numerous countries of Africe and South America, we have a chance to get the votes in our favour on issues when needed. It also gives those countries an alternate voice within the platform to rally behind in case the China stand seems exploitative. Infact, as China grows in power and becomes the defacto #2 (which seems inevitable for now) the nations of the would be looking to rally behind a country which is beholden to neither side (US or Chinese) This gives us the advantage as we would seem natural leaders for such a block as long as we are seen as autonomous. If we were to be a part of NATO instead of BRICS & SCO, we lose any standing as a neutral country. However, no matter how many China centric blocks we join, nobody on Earth will think India is allying with China because of our disputes, which probably won't be resolved anytime soon. If we were to accidentally isolate ourselves, the US would not be as forgoing in negotiations or giving us exemptions to its various rules that forbid dealing with Russia or whatnot. We would then be at the mercy of their laws as they try to guide our policy as they see fit and one of the first measures to that would be destroy any Indian defence industry so that the defence lobby that holds a lot of power in the US could profit from selling weapons to us.
Actually, Modi is very prudent in engaging with formerly colonised nations. Cause, Someone like it or not. India is the only formerly colonised Nation to be a successful democracy for over 70 years, being largest foodgrain producer, being second largest steel & Cement producer, 3rd largest fertiliser producer, 4th largest automotive manufacturer, 5th largest Economy & soon to be 3rd in 2025. Also, only former colony to have it's own Aircraft Carrier, Nuclear Submarines, Battle Tanks ,Fighter jets & Space Agency which is bound to set a manned mission in 2025. Last but not the least Having 25% more GDP than it's former coloniser UK. Which is enviable for any former colonised country to have & achieve. & India's success in throwing out colonial yoke is something which India could guide other formerly colonised nations.

Pt. Nehru talking about NAM was nothing but a lazy talk. Its like a lazy person, who won't work, talking about becoming a billionaire. Any country which wants to become a world leader, should have to work first on itself. It has to become militarily, technologically and economically powerful, before it can do anything meaningful in the world. Pt. Nehru just wanted to be a union leader, a leader of weak. And that kept India a weak nation.
I would say the equitorial regions to be poorer than the nothern or southern countries due to historical reasons. Exceptions being oil rich countries and singapore
The worse thing that happened to India was that Congress was allowed to govern the country uninterrupted till 1977 as by then , the country was destroyed economically and still struggling to come out from the poverty that engulfed it. The Congress leaders knew no matter what they did or did not do , they will come back to power in every election. Thus there was no pressure on them to improve the country economically. If only India had a visionary leader during the long uninterrupted Congress rule, it would be a success story like China. China was poorer and more backward than India but because they had a leader like Deng Xiao Ping to lead them, they are now one of the richest country in the world, if not already the richest.
Nehru was a Gandhian in its true sense. He's vision, but he was ready to sacrifice his land and his people on a whim. He never took a strong stance on anything. He did build institutions like IIT, ISRO etc., but he wanted to keep it ineffective and dependent. If Nehru had been more determined he'd not have given away PoK, Aksai Chin or would've at least fought to take it back right then. Indira Gandhi was the opposite of Nehru. Modi on the other hand is right in the middle.
Not complex enough. Adding in the mega hypocrisy/ standard confusion surrounding "western guilt cultures" and the mega willful blindness/ evasions of "eastern shame cultures" seems evermore vital as time passes ? (;-)
The odd that the new bloc will emerge that will be chinese bloc is higher is makes the case for India to be part of BRICS and just so you know, all these SCO, BRICS, are not the creation of or by the china or neither idea of china, all of them are Russian ideas.

What a third class & ill informed analysis this was... Terms like global south or NAM are not be defined strictly on longitudinal basis or according to per capita income.. these terms are more associated with what we call as Geo-politics and not economics or geography. These groupings denotes some broad commanilty in those countries geo political status.

@@BharatThatIsIndia what do u think he has not done... As u said list with hard facts what should have been done
@@BharatThatIsIndiaModi’s credit lies is ability to claim that success of Indian diaspora abroad is because of him, the truth is they are successful due to the reforms of the 90’s.
This analysis would have been more forceful if Shekarji spoke more about the lack of follow through. NAM died because of Nehrus lack of focus and follow through. Just like reforms, The kid and grandkid never bothered to follow through.
A foreign policy can only be successful if there’s consistency and follow through especially between Govts.
To be fair, NAM never stood a chance. It was the post-colonial era, and the "3rd World" was ready to fall at anybody's feet for aid, food, military equipment, and protection. It is a new era now. I doubt Modi is serious about another block. It is mostly an issue-based dynamic block that will form and deform from time to time. India's main concern is to avoid choosing the "devil (the US) and deep sea (China)" situation.
@@sankalp6872you missed my point entirely. Even the best opportunities can become failures without follow through. Even the slimmest chance can become the greatest opportunity with good and consistent follow through.
@@libshastra "even the slimmest change can become the greatest opportunity with consistent follow through".. very true. But NAM's primary agendas = dislike for great power politics of CW era & decolonisation became irrelevant post USSR dissolution. It had no agenda. It had to peter out into oblivion. It was only natural.
But the underlying idea of NAM = of sort of a 3rd pole = is very much the dominant thinking in the current Indian FP mandarins. EAM Jaishankar himself said the although NAM was dead, it's basic idea of choosing your own path towards international issues is the very thing that guides today's quest for "strategic autonomy".
So imo, current dispensation has taken whatever was good about NAM & taken it forward. But NAM absolutely in its original form could never have survived since it was more based on equidistance rather than issue-based alignment or coalitions.
@@mchauhan4 again you miss my point. You can have a really good foreign policy but if you don't follow through with, it will become a failure. NAM was a product of it's time but it's failures were not because of structural factors rather it was disinterest - in other words lack of follow through. Each party became disinterested in common values proposed by NAM over time or followed their own policy. One of the most glaring examples of disinterest is the lack of condemnation with regards to Sukarno's overthrow by US and UK. That really cemented perception of India's lack of interest in SE Asia - which used to be the traditional domain of New Delhi.
@@libshastra If I had missed your point, I would NOT have upvoted your response. After NAM's cold shoulder to India's cause during the 1962 war, it was clear that the bloc was just an overhyped dinner party. India had no compelling reasons to follow through. Also, Nehru died soon after, and Indira Gandhi hitched and hiked the Soviet bandwagon. Also, Nehru wasn't NAM's only patron. Both Nasser and Tito had their own ambitions.
Nehru had some vision. He had more failures than successes, but his vision was always a positive one. Indira Gandhi saw nothing beyond power and control. I see many on the right who are huge admirers of Indira Gandhi. The amount of damage she did to this country is immeasurable. Look no further than the paltry 2% growth rate under her. Many credit her for the creation of Bangladesh. I ask, how did that help us?
Nehru's socialist beliefs made sure that leftist ideas got roots in a predominantly right hindu mindset thereby our politicians could offer slogans for public and make neo Rajahs of themselves. That wasted 70 years of our self rule allowing counties like china to march over while we celebrated garibi hatao. Liberals and left ably aided by Rahul and co is desperately trying to bring their golden era back and hence even right wing BJP is more left and defensive now rather helping us by being real right wing in policies. God bless India.

When India leads Global South it’s at the table of powerful and influential. It means shaping global decisions which work not only for some but for most of not all. This is not the same as being anti North or anti West. Perspective depends on lens besides vantage from where it’s being observed.
When India leads the "global south", it is sitting at the table of the poor and weak. Those whom we are too broke to help, and who are too broke to help us. Pakistan, Somalia, and Afghanistan are members of the Global South, what exactly do we have in common with them? Are they an aspirational model? The global south doesn't even exist. There is no such coherent group of countries. Most of the global south hates each other. The global south is little more than an Indian poverty fetish that stems from deeply ingrained socialist thinking in India. The only reason it is still a talking point in India is because it appeals to the deeply insecure voters back home. In terms of actual foreign policy, Modi understands this perfectly. That is why he attends meetings of the global south, makes a lot of friendly noises, and then works on a free trade agreement with Britain. He knows where the money's at.

Your view makes perfect sense, even at a pragmatic level. The Chinese overhang won't go away. In fact, it will only strengthen over the next 50 years. We need to set up our own emergency hotlines with other countries. Not everybody from NATO followed the US in its Afghan war. The same is the case with Russia's Ukraine war. We need to ensure that the Chinese or any other enemy manages to turn us into an international pariah.

India's stature has risen because of the economic growth which happened because of liberalization....the effects of which can be seen today and more importantly India is a big market because of the size of its population and that's why governments around the world are less critical of India because they also want a pie of this huge market (but they know what is reallyhappening in India in the context of liberal democracy)...and another reason is there is a huge indian diaspora in all the major western countries that also plays a part in it. The success of Indian CEOs around the world who studied in some of the best universities in the country and went abroad in the 80s or 90s and now they are heading some of the biggest companies in the world.
Nothing happened to Indian Democracy. But "liberals" are in very bad condition.😂😂
U r talking as if liberalisation was held back by some of us.And I guess u r understandings is liberalisation happened one day iike we got independence.
India's success today is because a large chunk of people have started evaluating and taking decision as per their own evaluations and they no more depend on select few sources which was govt controlled .So more and norepinephrine people are standing,working for their own decisions.Of course one of it is giving a strong, decisive mandate to a person who has worked hard in his earlier role.

I think an important reason for resurrecting the 'global south' is tactical, to create space in negotiations on climate change. All political and economic global institutions are occupied/led by western countries.
ThePrint started with a vision of being "unhyphenated". Back when he started it, had Shekhar concluded that media would never be able to break from a BJP or a Congress "overhang", ThePrint would never have completed its 6 years and obtained over 2.2 million subscribers. I agree that the "Global South" is loosely defined, and India has no Chinese/US-like capital to distribute, but we have a HUGE MARKET; while that may not be enough for bringing countries to our side, it is a powerful incentive to prevent them crossing over to the enemy side. Also, there are many areas of corporation with the Non-China 3rd world. Scoring neutrality is also a WIN.
Un hyphenated my foot.. SG is everything but. He is openly pro family
The so-called Huge market is a myth. The actual Middle class in India is around 3%.
With 1/6th of humanity and long heritage and culture, India deserves a large place in global order. Dont diacourage our attempts.
We do deserve a place in the global order. Does that place have to be next to poor countries with no technology or economy, or much of anything really? Why not next to the first-world countries of today? Who would you prefer to associate with? And who do you think has more to offer us?

@@sudharshankomandur4118 Hate to break it to you but here it is: there is no "new bloc". There is none. BRICS, "The rise of the third world", its all rubbish. You shouldn't even take it seriously. Why? Because at the end of the day, if you add up the gdp of the US, Britain, the EU, Australia, Newzealand, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and israel, i.e the western bloc, they are still a solid 60-65 percent of global gdp. Despite having only around a billion people combined. There is no country and no likely combination of countries that will ever be more useful to us than this group. Russia included. They just aren't as useful. We are in this grouping, or out. You decide what you like better, but understand that Nigeria and ethiopia, are never going to help us build a sixth generation fighter jet or a hypersonic missile. The third world is crap. As for toeing the line on ukraine, firstly, Singapore is tightly knit into this alliance and they have maintained some neutrality, secondly, are we so pathetic, and commitment phobic that we can't see any higher value than neutrality? Side with them sometimes, they side with us sometimes, why is that hard to stomach? We need to look out for our interests, and our interests are much better served by America than somalia. Period.
@@sudharshankomandur4118except "leading" the new bloc is extremely difficult as long as China is present. Like it or not, realistically China has a much larger global reach due to its economic prowess presently. We could probably unseat it in the future and should work towards the goal but it is important to not distort the realities at the present moment.
Just thinking of a scenario where China is the leader of the global South, which effectively is a group of countries that can't really do much on their own and might not be able to provide China much support militarily. While India is an ally of the US & Co. Even with all their challenges the US & its allies are much richer group both in terms of money & power. Which would be great for India, leading a group of also rans or being an ally with the powerful.
Your translation (especially of bollywood golden oldies) is greatly appreciated Shekar ji.
Fun fact: by most estimates, Russia's per capita income is already below China's. Bulagria, an EU member state also has a per capita income below China's.
Additionally, India must achieve development and manufacturing success similar to China to lead. China serves as a prime model for developing countries aspiring to become developed. While India is progressing, it hasn't made significant strides in surpassing barriers to establish itself as a manufacturing benchmark like China. India still maintains anti-manufacturing protectionism, and apart from a few elite institutions, its national education system struggles to produce highly skilled labor.
The reason why India did not emerge as a manufacturing powerhouse is only because the Congress never created infrastructure that can contribute to growth in production. Congress wanted only certain industrial and business houses to exist and helped only those who funded that party. After Sonia Congress came to power, they did a deal with China with the result that China dumped all their cheap products to India which proved the death knell to SMEs in the country. Congress destroyed the financial system of the country and the NPAs skyrocketed due to phone banking which favored people who funded them. So, Nehru and Modi had no comparison. Nehru was interested only to be leader of poor countries but mismanaged the relationship with powerful countries. Mr Modi is speaking for Global South from the position of strength and not from the position of weakness.
Dear Sekhar Gupta Ji, global South is an acronym in 1969, when South korea,China, Singapore etc were not on the path of economic powers and developed afterwards. And any rule has exceptions. It need not be taken literally.

GLOBAL - Growing Opportunities, Blossoming Economies, Land of Diversity
SOUTH- Striking, Outstanding, Unique, Thriving Haven

One more important fact about grouping the Global South is that it has no permanent glue inherent in it. If we talk about taking care of countries with low GDP, well every country is trying to get richer, and some will succeed. If the GS is supposed to be post-independence colonies, well every nation had different experience under colonialism and different freedom struggle. The global South in the end will only become a tool for the strongest nation in it, as every other nation which has stake in the grouping will have to agree with it.
As hierarchical relations go, it's inevitable that any grouping, no matter what principle it's based on is going to be the fiefdom of the top dog in it.
NAM was dead on arrival as it was a post-colonial time with every newly independent country needing military equipment, food, aid, or other things from one of the two Cold War era blocks. Modi's Global South has no such compulsions. Global South is not a static block. It's a bunch of countries united on shared interests like climate change overreach, sanctions overreach, and others. The loosely assembled group might become an effective pressure group within the UN and elsewhere.
Shekhar Sir you are missing a very important point, USSR was never economically dependent on West. China is still not a military power only economic power dependent on west. India on other hand is able to balance the duo and has its own appeal. All said and done the reality is both China and India growth is at mercy of West

Can you tell us some stories from late 1990s, when India joined WTO, if you are aware of it ? India is often looked as an obstructionist, has been losing cases ( the lastest against EU on PLI), but is looked upon by the developing world with hope. In the end it is trade and climate financing where this part of the world needs proper leadership. Doesn't matter if one calls it G-77 or the global south.
I think it is opposite. West (EU UK) understands value of human live, but in India we're struggling, a lot needs to be improved, whether it's law and order or health services or education etc...

Australia and NZ can never be viewed as the global south or east. They are predominantly populated by people of European descent and their economic situation, culture and political systems have been married to the Global North. They have had full support of the West and they never went through the economic struggles that “global south” countries went through. They are practically the west or the north.

If we are not part of those blocs, we outright give China the freedom to freely run the bloc as they see fit and guide it for their own agendas and purposes. India's presence on it serves to balance China and allows us to exert influence on all countries that are unwilling to ally with the west. In case of a UN vote, all countries count equally and ny having influence over the numerous countries of Africe and South America, we have a chance to get the votes in our favour on issues when needed. It also gives those countries an alternate voice within the platform to rally behind in case the China stand seems exploitative.
Infact, as China grows in power and becomes the defacto #2 (which seems inevitable for now) the nations of the would be looking to rally behind a country which is beholden to neither side (US or Chinese) This gives us the advantage as we would seem natural leaders for such a block as long as we are seen as autonomous. If we were to be a part of NATO instead of BRICS & SCO, we lose any standing as a neutral country. However, no matter how many China centric blocks we join, nobody on Earth will think India is allying with China because of our disputes, which probably won't be resolved anytime soon.
If we were to accidentally isolate ourselves, the US would not be as forgoing in negotiations or giving us exemptions to its various rules that forbid dealing with Russia or whatnot. We would then be at the mercy of their laws as they try to guide our policy as they see fit and one of the first measures to that would be destroy any Indian defence industry so that the defence lobby that holds a lot of power in the US could profit from selling weapons to us.

Actually, Modi is very prudent in
engaging with formerly colonised nations.
Cause, Someone like it or not. India is the only formerly colonised Nation to be a successful democracy for over 70 years, being largest foodgrain producer, being second largest steel & Cement producer, 3rd largest fertiliser producer, 4th largest automotive manufacturer, 5th largest Economy & soon to be 3rd in 2025.
Also, only former colony to have it's own Aircraft Carrier, Nuclear Submarines, Battle Tanks ,Fighter jets & Space Agency which is bound to set a manned mission in 2025.
Last but not the least Having 25% more GDP than it's former coloniser UK.
Which is enviable for any former colonised country to have & achieve.
& India's success in throwing out colonial yoke is something which India could guide other formerly colonised nations.

I would say the equitorial regions to be poorer than the nothern or southern countries due to historical reasons. Exceptions being oil rich countries and singapore
I have heard or read about non-aligned moment by Nehru, Global south I am hearing only now.
Wanted his own leadership. Modi wants global leadership for india and is wirking towards it, If you care to know.
Is Soros funding ThePrint

Bipolar again? Hope truly a multipolar system emerges. It will be better option for future generations.
Don't think nehru policy outdated in foreign affairs
Always foreign affairs u must follow chanukya principle not other country person steps
The worse thing that happened to India was that Congress was allowed to govern the country uninterrupted till 1977 as by then , the country was destroyed economically and still struggling to come out from the poverty that engulfed it.
The Congress leaders knew no matter what they did or did not do , they will come back to power in every election.
Thus there was no pressure on them to improve the country economically.
If only India had a visionary leader during the long uninterrupted Congress rule, it would be a success story like China.
China was poorer and more backward than India but because they had a leader like Deng Xiao Ping to lead them, they are now one of the richest country in the world, if not already the richest.
Again speaking like China's mouthpiece!
Happy Birthday Sekhar Saab.
Thank you, my friend...best wishes, Shekhar
🏆 for the first person
it simply means Africa under Tanzania 🇹🇿
Sanatan bloc would emerge in few yrs ..ie India, Nepal, Burma, Japan, singapore, Indonasia, Sindh, Lahore , balooch, Thailand, Tibet, korea, srilanka, east Iran, ( supported by orginal Americans, australian, Greek ).
Only money and power matters to elite..nothing of this sort will happen
I came in to write comments on all the discrepancy, but see many have beaten me to it
Happy birthday Sekhar Guptaji! 🎂
Thank you, my friend...best wishes, Shekhar
Happy Birthday 🎂
Happy Birthday Professor
Why does the Print go back to Nehru for every effort of Modi?
Ground work for opposition to come to power. ....
Nehru was a Gandhian in its true sense. He's vision, but he was ready to sacrifice his land and his people on a whim. He never took a strong stance on anything. He did build institutions like IIT, ISRO etc., but he wanted to keep it ineffective and dependent. If Nehru had been more determined he'd not have given away PoK, Aksai Chin or would've at least fought to take it back right then. Indira Gandhi was the opposite of Nehru. Modi on the other hand is right in the middle.
Modi is a truly Hindu. It can be seen via his ideology and actions. The others? Not so much.
Nice.. Thanks
Nehru was simply right. India has no need to be part of particular groups. There's no significant benefit they can ascribe to us.
No need to be part of specific groups but as many groups. It helps build a good reputation and helps in networking.
What do you mean by success? There are many things.....you will come to know very soon
I can hear the ambulance outside the room at the start
I am surprised sir that you didn't speak on mood of the nation as you always love data🤔
8:58 thanks for the acknowledgment Gupta jii❤😅
Great....❤❤❤❤❤❤
Necessitie is the mother of invention.... So that the cry for global South.
What about South Africa?
Not complex enough. Adding in the mega hypocrisy/ standard confusion surrounding "western guilt cultures" and the mega willful blindness/ evasions of "eastern shame cultures" seems evermore vital as time passes ? (;-)
IMHO this video seriously needs a "cut the clutter".,.......
The odd that the new bloc will emerge that will be chinese bloc is higher is makes the case for India to be part of BRICS and just so you know, all these SCO, BRICS, are not the creation of or by the china or neither idea of china, all of them are Russian ideas.
Wheather you accept it (or) not Shekhar Ji INDIA 🇮🇳 has Developed and Got the Respect which Nehru and Congress failed to Deliver in 60 Years of their Rule😏.Narendra Modi🚩 is the Man who Made Changes(GST , Sagarmala ,Integrated Frieght Corridors , Infrastructural Boom ,Digital Revolution with UPI induction , Gat Shakthi Mission ,Aatmanibhar Bharath Initiative) etc..just as like Deng Xioping Did to China 🇨🇳 during 1970's.Narenddra Modi 🚩is the Man of Power🔥 ,Charisma😎 , Proud Hindu 🕉️ and a True Staunch Nationalist💪 who has no Personal Interest of his Own Family Development like Congress.He only works for the welfare of his Nation 🇮🇳 that is why Wider People of INDIA 🇮🇳 is voting Regardless of their Caste and Race.
Red golf hole flag ⛳🚩 is a nice joke.
Could you see the Chinese agent? Be careful!
What a third class & ill informed analysis this was... Terms like global south or NAM are not be defined strictly on longitudinal basis or according to per capita income.. these terms are more associated with what we call as Geo-politics and not economics or geography. These groupings denotes some broad commanilty in those countries geo political status.
Excellent 👍
By attending your party. You seem very eager to celebrate. Invite me.
