Shekar sir, I was almost worried about your health. Please drop a tweet if you are taking a break. We care too much.
Arey Dikra 🐒 Don’t Worry 😉 Be Happy 😃 He was taking a “political” break because of Elections 🗳️ 😂🤣
i m worried about ur mental health.. all good?
@@msdadsfsx Arey Dikra 🐣 Don’t worry 😉 Be Happy 😃 Howdy 🤠 Modi has promised 👍 to send the Re-Tired AGNI 🔥 “VEER RSS SEVAKS” to replace Russian 🇷🇺 Forces 🥵 playing “Kabaddi” in Ukraine 😂🤣
Just to remind people in 2011/12 sekhar coupta was writing fake army coup stories attacking gen VK Singh at the behest of then home minister p chidambaram.
@@abhilash9918 Produce your evidence please!
Any comments on France/Paris incidence by shanti priya people.
Please Shekhar ji, speak up on this issue
Some hooligans created nuisance. Thats what happened. Hate against the muslim community has become mainstream now. It is highly disturbing
I hope he does! Does Shaker want antagonize his sponsors ?
Finally.....😊
Good to see you back sir
China has punctured Indias foreign policy.
Modi’s visit to Russia is very significant at the changing time in new geopolitical era.
Yay!!! Uncle Sekhar is back 🥳🥳
Why do you apologise, after all you are a human being and you need to take a rest, maybe even more. Just saying, interesting to hear the perspective, as usual. Hope this visit, as well as the future ones along with the interactions, will deepen the ties between the 2 nations.
Glad it was a time off and not any health issues!! I was beginning to worry
Wealth ka bareme me patha Kar loo ...???
Thank you for your concern, it's very kind of you...Shekhar
Good to see you back Shekhar. Hope all is well!
haan all good..apna kaho..
I really missed CTC last week. Welcome back SG.
I demand more of long CTC episodes😊
Finally! Hope you had a good break.. missed you sir!
Only when Shekhar uncle doesn't post for long, it's then, that we realise how much we miss his episodes.
🎵"Only know that you love her when you let her go"
Indeed , Good to have SG back after his brief hiatus !
Bro's finally back 😅
Thank you shekar sir Good to see you back .And thanks for the Good video.
India 🇮🇳 is a civilization of friendship and peace.
A big statement of true friendship between Russia and India. India never gives up on its friends. Amigo per sempere.
.
Do make a CTC on What happened in France elections.
Make a video on the speech of balak bhiddhi as lop and modi reply
Now it doesn't work , non biological modi is the new trend.
India would be happy with a US Russia friendship but that may not happen anytime soon
We missed you very much Shekhar Sir. Although everybody needs a break, yes to that also. 😊
Good to see you back sir!!
This is the podcast I look forward to every week! Glad, you're back.
Nice to have CTC after a while. Just asking at 4:06, if it's an annual summit then why does it have to be twice a year?
SG is back and the class is quiet. Also I like your watch Sir. Is it an Apple watch?
Welcome back Shekhar. Missed you for last few days.
Shekarji, hope you had good relaxing break after a very busy and hectic work schedule.
Thanks
The last 5 have been a "Time of Uncertainty". Making it certain that next year would be one as well! 😛
Welcome back, sir. Btw, I would like to put up a request to SG team, if you can make a print version of all the Cut the Clutter episode (if not all, at least some select list), as a complied book.
That's a good suggestion, my friend. Let's see what we can do about it. Thank you for writing in...best wishes, Shekhar
Welcome back
Good to see u back shekhar ji, as u talked about make up , what about sharing some old experiences of urs which u used to share occasionally?
This is the only thing I wait from the print
I kept checking in to make sure i didnt miss any videos
Great analysis as usual
That's very good of you, Priyank. Thank you for your support...best wishes, Shekhar
When your favourite journalist goes on break, the whole world seems a bit more complex to decipher!
Good to see you back Mr Shekhar Gupta. I was worried you might be unwell.
Thank you for your concern, it's very kind of you...Shekhar
Very nice to see you back and doing CTC and hopefully, national interest in a few days. Thank you SG sir.
Thank you for your kind words, Suneel. It is so humbling to read all of these messages...best wishes, Shekhar
Make a video on Rahul Gandhi
I don't think he needs to much attention before some election pop up
A small correction the shells used by Russia are of 152 mm rather than 155 mm
Welcome back!
I missed you. I thought you may be sick. Thanks god you are all right :) .
Thank you for your concern, it's very kind of you...Shekhar
Really informative
Missed you. Welcome back!
Finally realization 😊
Finally back❤❤
A long talk that just wasn't giving any clarity. It can be termed as clutter of relationship between Russia and Indis
Great Analysis, later in the tear changes in US will tell how things move in our area.
Hope your health is well, SG. Taking a break is absolutely fine.
Thank you for your concern, Hari. Yes, a break once in a while is certainly refreshing...best wishes, Shekhar
After Long Time SG 🙏
I would love to do CTC when Shekhar sir is on leave.
When Putin was asked about his absence at G20 in India, he said that he didn't wish to embarrass friends. Recently, the G20 sherpa made a revelation that PM Modi decided to leave G20 if a joint declaration wasn't passed. Did we take the NDLD more seriously than it should have been taken. Brazil will decide.
a week without your ctc likes that we didn't knew whats going on around international or domestic news
The India-Russia ties are strengthening than ever. The defense, energy, trade, performance and technological education are in focus. The Russian bloc is getting much stronger against West. It means Russia is not isolated as West thought.
We missed you Sir
China vietnam relationship is also tense
Do take some rest,sir.
Wishing you good health.
Thank you for your concern, it's very kind of you...Shekhar
Only legends know that video is uploaded for 2nd time after deleting 1st.
Yea, don't know why! was in middle and it said video removed!
I'm not sure if Russian uses 155 mm, I think they use 152mm. 155 is usually NATO standard ammunition.
Where were you SG ! Missed you man
Anything relating to Russia now especially Russia- India relations, I think the Armenia case should have been mentioned. How Russia completely failed to protect Armenia, which has now joined ICC and embraced good relations with France and USA.
India has also moved swift to somehow leverage this gap now created. Armenia may be a small country, but can be strategically important for India vis-a-vis relations with Russia.
One BIG question: India has been claiming that it will always be a "nonalignment" state in the world. Then how come could Russian (and Soviet) become India's ally?
Well, we are “third world” for a reason historically, in the cold war. But i think its cuz US helped pak and ussr helped during 1971
India is called non aligned as it didn't side with one country to play on another country. It didn't become the tool , pawn or battleground for cold war between the two powers like Vietnam War, Korean War, pakistan in Afghan soviet war etc. It did have soft corner for USSR due to tilt towards socialism and also due to non interference policy of USSR in terms of Indo Pak unlike USA who threatened India vis a vis pakistan. At the same time, we didn't go against USA on behalf of USSR unless usa's attack on 1971 happened.
The ‘Non-Alignment’ is the narrative for the Indian people.
India is non-aligned, Not naive.
It is good narrative for us,as it lets India avoid to fight others war directly.
India and Russia are true friends ❤
The fact of the matter is that Russia wants India to supply small arms to fight in Ukraine as there is a supply chain issue, in return Russia will pay in INR which he has accumulated.
After Israel to Russia Indian Military Complex is rising 🔥
Good to see you back SG. Please keep SG locked into the print office.. don't let him go anywhere. CTC ke bina din pura nahi hota hamara.
Haha, thank you so much for the kind words...best wishes, Shekhar
Missed CTC last week.
All weather friend....
Shekher ji u dont hv to shake ur head tht much n make gestures
Correction Russia fires 152.5 mm shells and not 155mm which is nato standard
Last visit was in 2019 typical media 😂
Us giving India engine tech it didn't give anyone else 28:08
Most of Modiji's times was spent visiting countries around the world spending citizens hard earned tax money. Also changing a dozen clothes in a day and staying in top class hotels. No PM in the history of India has done this.
This guy is either a M or leftist
I think ur mother have so many husbands, go ask ur mother how many father are there,
U mother fucker 0 geopolitical knowledge, congress ki gulam bakth
, u and ur mother and family are 🚽 cleaner of gandi parivar
let him do that until we get a good position internationally why so negativity
'In the fiscal year 2023-24, China has overtaken the US as India's largest trading partner, with a total two-way commerce of $118.4 billion, as per the data from the economic think tank GTRI. India's exports to China rose by 8.7 percent to $16.67 billion, while imports increased by 3.24 percent to $101.7 billion.' - Economic Times 12 May, 2024
A balancing act and diplomatic tightrope was full on display during the Indian PM's visit to Russia. The optics of the Modi-putin bonhomie triggered outrage in the west. While europe may be active listeners, Washington caught in a presidential poll season is not amused. The Indian side called for ceasefire and toed global south's expectations for peace. The ultimate takeaway from this visit is that New Delhi-Moscow ties remain on an even keel and stood the test of time but India needs to convince the West to see reason in strategic autonomy and choices. It must see India's stance on Ukraine conflict as an endorsement of its own national interests rather than endorsing Putin or his political system.
Arey DIKRA 🐣 PUTIN “SUMMONED” Howdy 🤠 MODI to ask him “ARE YOU WITH US …. OR AGAINST US in UKRAINE ⁉️ 😂🤣
Ukraine has nothing to do with us. Wars in far away lands have no relevance to us. They are other people's wars. Cheers and best wishes!
@@PanakaluPoonakam Arey Dikra 🐒 When will you all WAKE UP ⬆️ 💤 😴 🛌
PUTIN wants first CHOICE for the Retired “AGNI VEERS” since all the UNEMPLOYED are running 🏃♀️ to the MÉXICO - USA BORDER ‼️😂🤣🥲🥵
@@PanakaluPoonakam Btw, take care ⚠️ and remove your SWASTIKA otherwise the ISRAELI “Secret” Service will be very angry 😡 with you‼️ 😂🤣
@@arsalanmirza3411 You worry about yourselves. If our people go and fight in Russia, let them go. Its none of your problem and none of your business. And Swastika is our cultural symbol that is common to all dharmic religions of Indian subcontinent like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and it has 5000 year old history. It is our symbol and we own it not some chewtiya in Europe. Israelis understand our culture very well. That's not your problem. Cheers and best wishes!
@@PanakaluPoonakam Arey Dikra 🐣 Your PROBLEM is OUR PROBLEM too‼️ Don’t you know we all live in GLOBAL VILLAGES 😂🤣
Sir I’m an avid viewer and respect your content massively. I request you to please concentrate on the core issue and describe that instead of talking on an on and on about the past. I get bored of your expansive and useless explanation of the past which is not relevant to the current geopolitics (sometimes). Thanks.
Finally, someone who is not a sycophant!
Unless you are aware of the past, how can you expect Shekharji to explain the context and the narrative
@deccanheart I agree. In fact I like to Shekhar majorly for his context building and past reference. If you want to-the-point news about the visit, there are 100s of mainstream channels who cover that. I'm here for the context building.
Boy you are so spot on. What could actually be a 3-5 minute video or equivalently ~ 100 words news Shekhar Gupta drags it to 20+ minutes. That's why I stopped watching his show. Occasionally I watch D.K Singh's analysis. That's it. This channel has no use for me. I get better news coverage elsewhere. Cheers and best wishes!
You can never understand the current context and future ramifications if you don't bother about the past
Really needed 30 mins for this ? Cd have been done in 2 mins ?
Shekar gupta
It’s not same in all cultures!!!
Shekhar needed the break and so did we! These long segments are quite taxing
Plenty of time to visit Russia but no time for Manipur.
Might as well make Manipur part of Russia.
1st 10 min a 2 line would have done so remaining u can imagine top much gestures repetitive words least useful info 14 lines max is enuf
Russia ruined Tamil Nadu and Kerala also gave us a Stalin. Should I be greatful Mr.Sekar. 😁
Mere recitation of well known recent history and data in the public domain does not constitute analysis. Zero insights
Russia was there in our darkest moment.
Sell arms and reduce deficit
Two consecutive weeks, no National Interest. Please don't do Khushi khushi with your columns
Russian can buy from India and they get to invest in growing Indian economy.
Russia makes ZERO (Or Negative) profit by selling Low Cost Oil to India. They spend Rubles to produce oil and India wants to buy in Rupees. This is not a viable Long Term Trading option.
If you consider politically correct map of India, Russia is neighbour of India.
Even if trade deficit is there we have saved approximately 12 billion dollars per year. Else we mandatorily have to buy oil from Iraq Saudi at higher prices. Secondly india refines Russian crude and sells to Europe and USA. Trade deficit with Russia is a Positive deficit and with china is a triple negative deficit.
Most importantly as you mentioned Strategic partnerships Russia still provides the cutting edge technology which the western powers are jealous be it the Nuclear submarines program, India’s cryogenic engine programs India’s manned space mission etc
What clutter did you cut, I have no idea. You just followed modi and talked bla bla bla...
Meanwhile Rahul Gandhi busy with interacting victims of NEET, Hazrath, Manipur 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Kid thinks Modi is on his personal visit😂
Congratulations for making a totally non informative video and filling your slot
Sorted his constitution 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As long as Modiji does not place orders for Russian aircrafts (Flying Coffins), our "Time-tested friendship" should be OK-Jay Ravi
Meeting dictator to know how to prolong dictatorship 😅
Paw Paw in moscow to stop the war ?
