Aug. 9, 2023 NRW YORK TIME The targeting of minorities - particularly Muslims - by right-wing Hindu extremists is now a way of life in many states. Vigilante mobs, which often assemble provocatively in front of mosques, regularly assault Muslims as understaffed and underequipped police forces fail to intervene. Lynchings and open calls for genocide are common. India now ranks among the 10 countries at the highest risk of mass killings, according to Early Warning Project, which assesses such risks around the world.
What democracy? India Is on the Brink Aug. 9, 2023 NRW YORK TIME The Manipur government this year also began a citizenship verification drive that infringes on the privacy of Kuki. A similar drive in neighboring Assam state targeting Muslims has already reportedly disenfranchised nearly two million people. Emboldened by the state government’s rhetoric, Meitei militias in Manipur have gone on a rampage of raping, pillaging, looting police armories and burning villages. More than 250 churches have been burned down. Those were Meitei men in the horrific 26-second video, sexually assaulting two Kuki women. (The video was shot in early May but came to light only in July, possibly delayed by a government internet ban imposed in the state in response to the violence.) Many similar attacks on Kuki women have been reported. Mr. Modi has called the rape incident “shameful” but has otherwise said little about the chaos in Manipur
A shameful & shameless gathering💯shocking
An CNN🇺🇲 anchor spouting sovereign state integrity.....JOKE
None of this country is TRUSTWORTHY and reliable ,Also they do not have long term policy , Keep them at distance with little disdain. You give them little importance and they will grab you from neck. Religion play important part in their policy , we should stay concentrate on different region for time being.
Opaque lending terms from China is an issue. India and Western world is more transparent. China is using BRI to grow it hegemony, it only benefits China. China uses its people and its companies with no consideration for building capability in the host country. China is a bad money lender, charging high Interest Rate.
Maldives has the population equal to Kolhapur, 515132! Sushant, you can't ask that question!
Srilanka - interesting story about Srilanka leading the port & special economic zone development. I wonder if the European business cult were involved (same climate cartel which 'inspired' Srilanka to pen the article saying that going organic would make their farmers instant millionaires - the opposite happened), but pulled out, leaving China exposed.
India is building deep sea ports in Vizhingam, South Nicobar, and other port infrastructure is being developed. Colombo port will start losing its importance because 40% of transhipment to India is done from Colombo.
Washington Post The New Alliance Between India and Israel”, published in February 2023 wrote on October 11, this year in an article: “Over the past decade, India and Israel have grown increasingly closer as partners and allies…Ties have blossomed under [Indian] Prime Minister’s Narendra Modi and [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu, with India and Israel using similar tactics in the occupied territories of Kashmir and the Palestinian territories…seizing lands, displacing people, criminalising dissent, muzzling journalists, and controlling people’s movements…Zionism and Hindutva [Hindu Nationalism] in controlling Palestine and Kashmir…whereas Israel wants to erase Palestinians, India has for decades, used assimilation as a tactic to control Kashmir. Now it is a lot more open to erasing Kashmiris”.
Political consideration / one President was the main reason Srilanka pushed for Hambantota port.
There is no ambiguity in India's position. It is quite straightforward - rules can't be applied differently. NATO nations IQ is always ZERO so no discussion with them. Now, It is a way to remind our partner Russia (as a successor of USSR) who armistice India to sign pact with Pakistan in 1965 war. Samir is right - Veto is BS and purposefully designed to protect P5.
South Asia country interest more common than different; work together grow together
These guest are very well educated. Not parrots that you usually see. Excellent thinking people.
While it is a moot point, No one is asking the question about Ukraine being neutral, and this conflict may not have happened.
I really hope India has smarter people than this Samir fellow. He came across as someone who cant lace up sandals, or it takes a lifetime to learn sandals don't have laces. Timothy Snyder and the rest of the panel did well to counter Samir's blunderbuss methods , countering with clarity and principles.
Who the hell is this guy to question another countries decision to take a loan. They have people as competent as your country.
…whereas Israel wants to erase Palestinians, India has for decades, used assimilation as a tactic to control Kashmir. Now it is a lot more open to erasing Kashmiris”.
They also have people as corrupt as any other countries
Crux:ravi is a woke(away from reality, with pretty words)
@1:09:45 Kahlua fell asleep!
This Brit at 1:07:00 is a 🤡 😂
Audio is way better than Chatham House where Samir Saran spoke last week
I wonder if ChathamHouse audio quality varies in relation who is speaking, what is said, to prevent any clips going viral, for national security reasons of course
Nato is the evil culprit. It should be disbanded immediately. It should not have expanded after ussr allowed unification of Germany.
Western “values” have killed literally hundreds of millions across the globe!
i guess even those employees didn't watch this time.
Literally only Samir makes sense here.
This “historian” is an absolute joke! What a total stooge.
It would be good if South Asian countries would observe how the 5 eye countries look out for each other and their interests. South Asia needs to think about it!
Maldives couldnt open the embassy in Beijing only because china wasnt paying for it. As simple as that.
Indian Govt. needs to introspect on the approach to these countries. India is too nice. If you always act positively and there is no downside to anti-India politics, there should be no surprise that this is how they will act, especially as it will make China happy. China, after all, must be courted and kep happy for the sake of future big bucks.
india had bullying those nations, and that is why they are turning to china.
…whereas Israel wants to erase Palestinians, India has for decades, used assimilation as a tactic to control Kashmir. Now it is a lot more open to erasing Kashmiris”.
Amazing maturity from some of the youngsters in the conversation! promising!
I think India should rethink about Neighbourhood first policy.. freelunch must be checked
No to akhand Bharat! they are alienating neighbors
Kallas is also a 🤡
A 1939 moment with the US and Europe on the wrong side of history!
Indeed it has a lot to do with the quality of the leaders of these smallee countries. They are cajoled with money! Sadly eventually they may be giving up their lands to china and speak mandarin soon.
Where is the long term benefit to small South Asian countries when India is their closest neighbour in any emergencies. How does a weak alliance with India help any of these countries?
Long Term: For long term civilizations come and go. Next civilizations will come and it will go. Think about civilizations. Why are Indians still following what they are in the sky. How it changes , what's the matter to change.
…whereas Israel wants to erase Palestinians, India has for decades, used assimilation as a tactic to control Kashmir. Now it is a lot more open to erasing Kashmiris”.
The axis of evil is the West.
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Really Maldivian FM you have already created a mess in India by electing president who campaigned by saying India Out
What can we expect from Maldives. They are using India like affornated, still Bharat is talking.
Look.. he is "former" FM.. It was mentioned he is now a professor..
@@AnujValmiki Get your mind checked. He is representing from Maldives.
Democracy allows for freedom of choice? Then The Maldives chose China.
And that “India out” was also sponsored by China to counter India and same model is being applied by them in Bangladesh….
Samir > don't these people listen to John Mearsheimer? The sense of delusion is staggering!
True wisdom
again, hedgemanic conference trying to teach what world should do
America and nato are warmongerers
Ukraine supported Pakistan Its not Indias job to sort a european war . We Indians dont trust Natoa. America or Ukraine
its europes war sort it out
westerners still trying to pretend they dont know the cause of the war- it was west
Russia is not trying to colonize Ukraine- they are respondingto a threat, what was the need of NATO expansion
these americans were against India untill few yrs ago
Indians love Russia
What is Ukraine?
Glad Saran gave a befitting reply to Europeans hypocrisy.
