One humble suggestion to Hoover Institution and future Battlegrounds Dialogues. Terrorism, especially religion inspired ones, is really a global problem and pose no less threat to global wellbeing than Climate Change. Think Tanks & Saner Voices like yours must make efforts to create a continuous and structured Global Dialogue on Terrorism on the lines of Climate Change. Thanks.
A very intellectual discussion between two democracies
Don't put all your eggs in one basket (China) and do put some in the basket of democracies.
Good to see the Dr. Jaishankar speaking to the Hoover Institute. Let's now get an interivew with Peter Robinson. That should be a treat!
The only minister in this cabinet that can actually do his work
Minister Jaishankar dodges China question everytime. Don't know why he is so hesitant to even say the word China, let alone criticising it.
They Still Can't Get A Nice Image Of An Indian Train.
Indian civilization emerged out of Sanatan Dharm. Sanatan literally means Eternal! The basic frame work of Sanatan is experiential frame work! While Abrahamic faiths have frame work of belief. So when west says secularism they are saying state versus Church. While India was never a secular state and there isnt a need for her to be secular. Because hindutva which is sort of modern name of Sanatan is essentially tolerant, all encompassing, inclusive in its very nature. At personal and hence at level of society! Why so? Because we have explored that God is not outside. One can find God within! We and Universe are one and the same. And this was/is living experience of many people since ancient times and they developed profund techniques which became Sampradayas i. E. Sects. So what was at the core of these different techniques? The core was life style and practices one should follow to attain ultimate realisation. Now such knowledge tradition if guides the state then there isnt a problem. (Currently there isnt dharmic intereference in Indian constitution but our very erhos is Dharmic as society at large. And like there is right wing emergence in world, there is indic resurgence in India. We dont have right wing per say. ) And this west doesnt understand about hindutva. There are three broad shades of Hindutva 1. Political ( bjp like parties) 2. Social (orgs like rss etc) 3. Adhyatmik(spiritual) . These three categoriesare further have sub shades but all shades ultimately have one purpose- to evolve! Thats what defines Bharat. And western graduated, colonial minds also communists, maoists, missionaries and Islamists are all in cahoots and create wrong picture about Hindutva. So US shouldnt have doubts about secular nature of Indian democracy under Bjp and Modi. Need of the hour is to have stronger friendship of convenience and create counter to China! Technology and Trade are longterm keys.
Jaishankar is our finest diplomate ever.
Indo US relation are good for the world. Wast Indian market is very good opportunity for the US High-Tech Companies. There is a great opportunity for US companies in arms trade and agriculture goods. India is the biggest buyer of US energy.
Mr. Minister didn't take on China directly.
Lots of CCP labourers detected in comment section 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ...
Better late than never ...USA has understood the importance of manufacturing.
"..consolidated power through arrangements with local rulers...", disingenuous way of putting it to say the least. Wrong comments on the partition too, they didn't leave us, we kicked them out.

I agree they believe they civilized us
Opening lies - "free open societies", "deep understanding of battleground", "creative ideas", "compete", "overcome challenges", "capitalize on opportunities", "secure a better future"... General HR McMaster is a toady guy.
Your guest is ideologically possessed
Ask him about inequality in wealth in India

To all my Indian friends that’s a legitimate question. Just because inequality in wealth exists in the United States doesn’t mean it can’t be addressed in India. Most importantly the gentleman wrote a book called the India way... Maybe he has some insights us Americans can learn from. I don’t understand the hostility.

If you have freedom, you WILL have inequality of wealth. Some people are smarter. Some are stronger. Some want to work 80 hours per week. Some had parents and grandparents who were responsible and saved up for them. All of this will result in inequality of wealth if everyone has the same rights under the law. I would choose freedom over equal wealth.
The gentleman talks much about climate change. India is one of the worst polluters, so apparently the request for money is coming, right?
