China has taken control of India's main streets with the purchase of many popular apps and payment UPIs in India. So, we need not limit our discussions to only border issues, but try to bring fairness in trade and security relations between China and India.

I also want to tell you.. there are few points we need to think. What if 2 major power come together China/India and Russia.. Then the game for West changes

Economically, the hilly frigid border areas are not of much significance to both China and India. Although India and China got into a bloody incident recently, India and China have not fired shots at each other since 1962. India and China have deep historical relations and exchanges in education and philosophy. Although India and China were the largest two powers for 3,000 years till 1800, they never went to war with each other in the entire history, until 1962.
Start with 1962 China India War then 1971 Pakistan India War ------Who was supporting India at this time ? CCCP was covering for India while USA was propping up Pakistan's Crimes in 1971. Not just stopping at weapons sales. USA wants to Alley with India while threatening India with sanction for Defence missile cover from Russia S-400 .... West has double standards so India will not be West's Colony .... only partnership of Equals
When you talked about the 1971 crisis you "forgot" to talk about the US's and UK's armies closing in on India and the russian submarines which came to protect India's coasts, that was a nice omission.
They didn’t even mention how the Americans and British aided the Pakistani military to commit the 1971 Bangladeshi gen0cide with all their respect for “human rights”.
Actually it was not the armies of the US and the UK, it was the US Navy task force with the USNS Eisenhower battle group that was supposed to come into the Bay of Bengal and potentially threaten India. Two things happened -- 1. Russia said their submarines were already in the Bay of Bengal, this slowed the battle group down, and 2. The Indian Army defeated the Pakistanis in 13 days, which was about one third of what the CIA and most western projections thought it would take.
India should continue to increase our trade with Russia for we do NOT take orders from these violent American TERRORISTS and war criminals. May God bless India (including Nepal), Germany (including Austria), North Korea (including South Korea), China (including Taiwan), and Russia (including Ukraine). And down with these violent American TERRORISTS and war criminals.
I like how the Indian politicians try to wrap this policy into some sort of mystical stance coming from their unique culture...in Europe after WWII there's only one practical word for it..."collaboration"...my grandfather who watched this behavior in other European nations during WWII said to me: "Every collaborator sooner of later finds himself in the boots of the victim"...I guess this will happen when China comes to push the border southwards and the expected arms supplies from Russia won't arrive...
@@socrates6870 Collberating with the colonizer for short term gain when you live next to one of the largest colonizers may not be the smartest long term policy.
@@ubroc That's what the Chinese expect from the Indian government...passiveness and none-alignment so they can get the rest of Northern India...same scare tactics that the Germans applied to smaller European nations in the 1930s...good luck for India, it's a road to nowhere and they know it, but it's easier to lecture us about European colonialism 70 years ago, when part of your population is already colonized by the Chinese...you need to be India to pull this off...at the same time you seek security guarantees from a bankrupt arms supplier...I think the Finns were way smarter in the last 70 years, they were none-aligned and the Russians with way larger army didn't dare to invade them...
Also, bear in mind that in 1971 the Soviets not only threatened the West about interfering with India-Pakistan-Bangladesh they also threatened China. The Soviets in many ways guaranteed India's victory in liberating Bangladesh.
In this context the Soviet union and India were friends of the Bangladesh people. The Indian Prime minister Indira Gandhi achieved the independence of Bangladesh by international diplomacy and by war .
@@kaptaan_original Pakistan was defeated , the reason the Pakistan military started a civil war in Bangladesh and the reason the Indian Air force had Mig21 war planes which were better than Pak war planes, because Indian Navy had ballistic missiles which the Pak Navy did not have , and India had Indira Gandhi which Pakistan did not have. The Indian military also faught well and Gen. Arora and Gen. Niazi are in the history.

As an Indian, I am loving the comments section. If only people in DW had as much understanding of geopolitics then they won't be making this crappy take.😂
what is there to love about it? obsessed with 1971, bitter against the West yet many want to emigrate to the west, severe victim complex, and can't seem to understand that Russia is not really a powerful country. That's how I read the comments, fortunately the Indian government has a more realistic attitude. Allying with Putin's Russia is like allying with a corpse. If Indians are so anti-West then don't come here, ask to emigrate to Russia and find gainful employment, good luck with that.
Germany lecturing India on its internal affairs will be just fanning anti-Germany and anti-west sentiments among Indians who are already a bit pro-Russia and anti-west because of Pakistan being aided by the west in all Indo-Pak wars. Criticizing India will just push India towards the new Russia-China bloc.
I admire, you are not atleast bluffing... West has to ensure that *INDIA shouldn't go into Russian influence...* INDIA is going to outperform rest of the world in next decades, so from business point of view a *democratic, developed* INDIA will be better choice over *COMMUNIST CHINA*
This is nation won't be "pushed" towards any alignment easily. *If threatened existentially then may be* but the support is for Multipolar and multilateral ties among Bharatiyas. We don't support any form of imperialism at all and China represents that.
I think India's right in that when borders are violated in Asia there isn't anywhere near the same outrage as there is when it happens in Europe. If we want them to support us when things happen in Europe then we need to support them when stuff happens in Asia
I might be wrong, but in the border clashes with China, less than 100 people died (last I heard, 20 Indian soldiers?). In Ukraine, we're in the 50k - 100k people killed, all armies & civilians included. In a few weeks, we'll maybe be past the 100k number. See the difference a bit better?
Historically your leaders are racially biased. Thats why your region shows double standard reaction when Indian sovereignty gets violated because they werent white. Asian people understand the underlying racist attitude of west. Thus, they are responding collectively.

Russia is a colonial power who is murdering its way west. India is on its side helping. I am so disappointed and sad, i didn't think that India with its history will ever support a colonial monster. This is it for me
For every silly mindset, this is the best answer: *Europe has to grow out of mindset that its problems are world's problems but the world's problems are not Europe's problems.* - S. Jaishankar (Foreign Minister, India)
The fact that India has been denied air defence capability from the west bogels my mind. It makes me completely understand why they would seek it out from elsewhere like Russia. Just an honest oppinion.
With India's close relationship with Russia, I can only assume the west is very protective with their military technology finding its way to the wrong hands.
Because India is an ally of Russia and not an ally of America. That's why America and the West won't give weapons to india, they are Russian spies and will give the technology and military secrets back to russia. You can never trust Indians
how did Germany and Russia get so close - this is a more important question. Germany paying cash to Russia despite the war and holding off weapons for Ukraine is a much more heinous crime than India buying something.
Germany is dependent on Russia. That is why. We had 2 decades ago a real corrupt head of state who let the whole German economy let be powered and controlled by Russia. After that we had so much oil and gas infrastructure with Russia that we just let it be and hoped Putin wouldn’t do anything bad because he holds our whole energy system. Then Fukushima and we stopped all our nuclear reactors which had given us the last resort of energy which isn’t controlled by Putin. Now we hope green energy will save us but we have by far not enough of it and that is why Germany is anxious about crossing the red line. Because Putin could make our houses pretty cold in the winter if he stops the flow of gas.

India has little in common w Russia, one is largest democracy, other is brutal dictatorship, no social , linguistic or cultural affinity. India sends its children to US not to Russia for higher education. However indias dilemma is how to pry open from Russia defense supplies especially now that it has been proven to be poor obsolete quality…modi will be caught on its own petard…time to wake up…
India and Russia's friendship goes back a long long way and Russia has always always proved a faithful friend to India, without any demands. This alliance must never be broken.
Russia and India have had a very close friendship since after WW2. Its a relationship based on mutual respect and trust, not a master-slave relationship like western countries prefer
Why should it be a dilemma for India, it's as simple as the USA dealing with the kingdom of Saudi Arabian. You choose your friends, your friends enemies are not my enemies. That's India's pragmatic approach to it's own interests as a nation. China will in many ways find a way out of the difference with India. It's not a question of how but when.
I doubt that very much. If china turns things around, it buys India time, but not much; a few years tops. Eventually, a China w/ an upper hand will throw its influence around. Unfortunately, the power balance favors China for the time being. They will not be able to hold this advantage indefinitely. In a decade, Chinese demographics simply won't be able to compete with India. We are entering an incredibly dangerous decade or two. China knows what is coming. It is incentivized to take advantage of its relative strength while it lasts. The downward slide in china may have already begun. That would not bode well for India/ China relations. Best case scenario is china holds on until it can't and power shifts quickly. I wouldn't be on the best case.
The only way China will "find a way out of differences with India" is by either destroying India, or subduing it like it subdued Sri Lanka and Pakistan. CCP is a predatory power. Stop living in fantastical delusions.

India doesn't have a political dilemma. Things are pretty straight on this end. Let's put this straight : *U.S along with its **_Allies_** tried to attack India and USSR defended by bringing up it's naval fleet to challenge the approaching powers. Normally this is taken as the point that strengthened Indo - Russian ties. However it is not. Indo - Russian ties is based more off Strategic and Trade importance. India has equal relations with all countries except Pakistan due to the continued cross border violations and support for terror.* At present Indo - Russia ties have become valuable due to rising energy prices from India's top most suppliers and sanctions on those from where it can be procured at a cheaper rate. It is common sense that Indo - Russia ties improve in this context similar to how the West keeps supporting China despite it's expansionist motives and actions against all of it's neighbors. The same west also supports a terror and rogue state called Pakistan at our borders and *it is the West that created Pakistan by introducing Religiopolitical Schism between members of the same nation to suit their own benefit to counter India's rise.* Hence, NO FREAKING COUNTRY HAS THE RIGHT TO QUESTION OR COUNSEL INDIA ON IT'S CHOICE BECAUSE THEY BASICALLY FORM THE CAUSE OF THE TENSIONS AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE UKRAINE - RUSSIA CONFLICT IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS AND NOT OUR PROBLEM LIKE YOUR MENTALLY DERANGED _LEADERS_ TRY TO PRESENT INDIA.

We are asking you to stand up against genocide but I can assure you, as an American, we are not trying to force you to do anything or thinking we are any kind of authority over you. The “You are not the boss of me and you can’t tell me what to do” response seems a bit childish but we respect your right to say it. We respect India and would love to develop an alliance together based on our similar (non-dictatorship) ideals but if that is not your preference then that is your prerogative.
It doesn't speak much about historical backstab of US and UK about supplying arms to terrorists which created a deep security concern for India by emboldening Pakistan terror support camps.Historically US was always on the opposite side of India ( terror funding in Asia, attacking west Asia to create instability, Pakistan support and everything). India is viewed as strategical partner, not an ally due to China threat. Giving Visa to Indians is nothing but for your own gain as you are getting labour at cheap cost( won't say skilled labour in general). India has its uses for west .Nothing less nothing more. India is aware of it and it will play its own tune for it doesn't have any real ally from west
What a nonsense. My neighbours are Indians. very recognized. we love the indians. Indians invest in Europe, That means they believe in the relationshio. what is this negative nonsense about the West? I hardly think that this is also the case in intolerant Russia. Greetings from Switzerland
@@westisbest3503 You may love your neighbours, and I do hope they feel the same. The fact remains, the US and UK have poked India time and again in times of India's dire need over the many military conflicts over the past 75 years.

Either way, India has gotten economically entangled with Russia in severe ways which will take time to uncouple before India can take major actions against them.
If it comes to wars Indians and russian will without a doubt stand together. Knowing the fact the US and UK both wanted to destroy India and sent their ships to attack us for their interest says volume about them.
I remember the German delegation laughing when trump said in UN about how dependent Germany is on Russian oil and gas; maybe they should interview the delegation now and how they feel about laughing it off then😂
Now the Russians a laughing on how Germany is dependent on the USA and his 5 times more expensive LNG , The EU /Germany youst changed the dependence ,it might be worse off ,only time will tell ,but I am afraid it will loose is competitive advance to Asia ,Expensive energy for Europe and even cheeper energy to Asia as result will shift industries even more to asia , whether this is China or India or both it will weaken the German industry base . and for what ? A deeply corrupt Regime in the Ukraine that is not worth the fight.
First you doofus, Trump didn't say anything that others said. Secondly calling Putin his friend and blocking military help to Ukraine tells that maybe that Orange Monkey who is now Criminal Monkey know about plans of Putin in Ukraine? That is not very good argument.
Very conveniently omitted how the western powers during the 1971 war supported Pakistan who was committing genocide in Bangladesh and threatened India by sending warships and only USSR stood in their way in the Indian ocean.
With all the lectures on human rights, where was West when US & UK were supplying arms to Pakistan to commit the worst genocide in the entire continent to the ethnic Bengalis of Bangladesh while threatening India not to intervene. Total shamelessness.
i think the west had lost its chances over the last 70 years, when it did not help India, be it in food crisis, IMF loans ( where it asked India to deposit Indian Gold in London)or even in !971 war with Pakistan, when the 7th Fleet of the USA wanted to attack India, to save its own skin. No one in Europe even said a word when the Chinese attacked The Galwan heights two years ago. Now since, 24th February, after the Ukraine war, Europe has been in a problem, it expects India to cut off all its ties and work with the west against an old friend. I think India should not agree again to a new COLONIAL idea of the USA and the EU countries. Narendra Modi is right in keeping its policies independent of the policies pushed on us. The West should understand India is 130 million peoples economy, and we are a formidable power, which the west will Need India for its own economy, a weaker Russia may not be good for India, but to date, the west should think more rationally and give India more breathing space in the world of Geo politics

Fine. As long as that is still your stance when you lose men and land to a rampant China and start crying for help from other countries. Go your own way
I understand that point of view. I understand that India has to do what is best for India. I understand that India was a founding leader of the non-Aligned movement during the Cold War. But betting on Russia’s aggression in Ukraine is not going to help India’s struggle against its real adversary which is China. Russia was weakening before the war and has been accelerating its decline by continuing its criminal misadventure in Ukraine militarily and economically. I can’t blame India for buying Russian energy. Countries in Europe are still reliant on it, despite the sanctions. But India’s stance is seen as giving aid and comfort to a rogue country that has moved from adversarial to the west to a belligerent enemy. This isn’t acting as a non-aligned country and it’s not in India’s long term interest. It’s a diplomatic dead end and you can bet that Beijing will use this to their advantage in the decades to come. India is not playing the long game. China is already increasing its influence in Central Asia, in the so called ‘stans that were part of the Soviet Union. Does India plan on facing this threat by itself? Does it really think it can foster long term cooperation by tying itself to Russia?
@@MarcosElMalo2 First of, it was Russia that helped during the border Skirmishes with India and China. Where was the EU then? Weren't borders important then? Second, India isn't tying itself to just Russia. India has close ties with Israel, France, Australia, Japan and even the middle Eastern countries (UAE, Iran, etc). India has supplied BrahMos missiles to phillipines. India trades with middle eastern countries. So tell me, how is India by itself?
@@MarcosElMalo2 As an Indian I agree. Also it's important to note that India's economy is not in a state which can handle sanctions. I get why we are doing what we are, but a lot of people have turned this into an 'East vs West' kind of situation and ignored just how terrible all of this is. People are focusing more on things that happened centuries ago than how Russia has been acting recently, and honestly I don't know if this will end well.
United States and United Kingdom are two countries that have had a history of creating rifts between different political factions across the world to facilitate sales of arms. When the Ottoman Empire was defeated at the end of WW1, Britain and France partitioned the entire Middle East into countries in such a way that tensions are always kept high in the region. They often took sides of different factions and ended up selling their weapons, gaining huge profits from a war which was never theirs, and at the cost of local citizens. This is not a new concept, and Indians are well aware of the British policy of divide and rule. Similarly, US also played the same role after UK was diminished to a weaker country after WW2, in what came to be known as the Cold War. In a systematic chain of events, US replaced almost all governments in both the Americas with regimes, which were often dictatorial in nature, and committed crimes of all sorts, so that their backyard was kept silent. A similar thing has been happening in Europe ever since WW2. NATO was systematically enlarged, with newer countries joining almost every other decade, which has now led to American weapons being stationed closer and closer to Russian borders. With the current war in consideration, Americans created such a situation, wherein they pushed the European Nations into giving up their old Soviet Era arsenal to Ukraine in a bid to counter Russia, and at the same time, striking deals to supply their high-end weapons and technology at exorbitant rates to European Nations, an offer which most of the countries cannot reject. As a result of which, Germany has committed to increasing its military budget to 150 billion USD from next year, placing it at 3rd position after US and China, most of which would be spent on purchasing F-35s to replace its current arsenal, and other weapons, from none other than the United States. Even in the South East Asia region, in a bid to counter China, US and UK offered Submarines to Australia, which Australia accepted after scrapping a decade old deal with France, for an imminent Chinese threat. We are also seeing similar such proposals being made to Japan, Philippines, Taiwan and even Vietnam(there are efforts being made to improve relations between Vietnam and US; for apparent sale of weapons). Creating tensions in the world to facilitate weapons sales has been an age old tactic of US and UK governments, a move that has often ended with genocides and unrest across the world, claiming millions of innocent lives, but making American and British economies one of the leading ones.

West is so eager to drive a wedge between India and Russia, India and China relationships to advance its own geopolitical interest. Russia has been playing a balance game between India and China, which all three are fully aware. China is play the balance between West and Russia too, and also India and Pakistan. So India is play this same game of balance too. Such balance games are much better than the actual war itself and unnecessary human suffering. The main reason of war in Ukraine is the loss of such balance between West (nato) and Russia.
What is there to balance? Soviet Union is long gone. Russia need to wake up to the present. Therefore, they will hopefully lose in Ukraine. They need to be put in their place. Russia invaded Georgia, Chechnya, Ukraine. They are doomed to fail
You missed a crucial point: you need to be able to back up your claims of needing to be taken seriously & being included in the "balancing efforts", with actual hard power.

Russia, India, and China are part of BRICS. Bilateral relations among BRICS states are conducted mainly based on non-interference, equality, and mutual benefit. The existence of the BRICS grouping does not signify a formal or informal alliance; there are multiple economic, territorial, and political disputes among the five governments.

US (or at least many of us) don’t want India to distance from Russia.

Also when India points out hypocrisy in the West, we are listening and reflecting on the painful but constructive criticism. We know we should be better too. Americans of this generation are so tired of a world at war. A lot of us grew up after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and have never seen any long time when our nation wasn’t at war. We’re trying to get to peace, even if it means sacrificing some of our goals. For example, America has given up on trying to turn Afghanistan into a modern democracy by force, and we’ve realized that force doesn’t work to spread our ideologies. We can’t spread peace via violence. The American people are strong but we don’t want to be bullies. We don’t want to police the world. We want international law organizations to step up to keep peace and set just rules for how nations should treat each other. We want to give our strength to support a system with democratically shared control and representation from all peaceful nations. Sadly, as soon as we start trying to be more peaceful, other countries like Russia start to see our love of peace as weakness. When they think we’re weak, they start looking for chances to attack and force us back into war. We will defend/support weaker nations because it is a moral obligation, but we are not warmongering people and we’re sick of violence.
In Kargil war, USA backed Pakistan and it was the Soviet Union that came to the rescue of India. Russia sent its submarines to stop USA's ships. Russia is India's biggest ally. We Indians love Russia. God bless Russia! We will pick the side of Russia all the time.
He never meant "don't lecture us"...he meant don't selectively and selfishly only take a stance for things you care about. It's about the EU ignoring the trouble caused by the likes of China and Pakistan to other Asian countries.
The truth is that Ukraine pushed West into situtation in which almost entire planet is getting split and surprisingly non-Western world is not so supportive of Western opportunism in Ukraine. Arabs remember Arabic spring. China remembers Taiwan. India remembers legacy of its conflict with Pakistan. Pretty much all non-Western centers of powers choose non-Western sides due to strategic challenges created by the West.
Can you think about a country which put sanction on wheat export to India at a time when Indian population was in extreme poverty? It was in 1960s; now India is the largest producer of wheat, coincidence or sheer willpower? It's upto you .
@@porkysharma8423 USA put it. My grandfather said that india was told to import wheat that were fed to pig's in USA , to feed the people. Of course there aren't any mention of that. Like the war in 1971, for so many years nobody mentioned it.

True. India decides the future of humanity. An unstable India will turn it into a authoritarian system like China and a developed and stable India will strengthen democracies across the world.
Yeah China is going to be making some big moves soon. They are already making tons of small moves, like down on Americas border with Mexico. The Chinese are openly working with the Cartels and supplying them with fentanyl and getting involved with Cartel politics... I think their next move may be Taiwan and seeing how far they can push Taiwan without getting America and NATO involved.
@@myspace1876 agree. India is in a midpoint atm. With respect and support from the west they will develop into a strong reliable friend. If they are left twisting in the geopolitical wind India could run into issues with China and Pakistan who i doubt would sit out a chance to do some dammage or grab some land. They unfortunately could become a satalite of Russia if they rely on them too much.

We would be perfectly happy to use Venezuelan or Iranian oil instead of Russian oil. In fact, that would be easier for us to transport.

Paradoxically India is in a geo-political "sweet spot." Certainly not geo-political squeeze. It is playing and benefitting from both sides and growing economically and militarily while the US and the Collective West are weakening because they are paying the price for the Ukraine conflict together with Russia. It doesn't really take a rocket scientist to figure out why the US is so tolerant towards India for breaking its sanctions blatantly? India is the cog in the wheel of the US Indo-Pacific Strategy. As to why India does not take a side with the US, my view is that India does not trust the US if history is any guide whereas Russia has always been proven to be a reliable ally. Russia's relationship with China is only secondary to India.
the US and the "collective west" have been "weakening" for decades, yet, the world is increasingly growing dependent on western technologies, IP and know-how russia has been proven to be so "reliable" that india started buying equipment from and forming partnership with the "untrustworthy" US. the fact is, all these countries economies are build on western systems, using western IP, technologies and know-how. this has made them exponentially dependent on the west. the narrative about the west declining is a fantasy (and a clickbait) and you are welcome to live in that fantasy. but every now and then maybe just peek into the real world and realize how much of your life and livelihood revolves around and is increasingly dependent on western inventions and innovations. (and no, there's no chinese technology)
It Isn't the case my friend India is loosing just because of useless American sanctions for example China is buying cheap Iranian crude where as India still dependent on US crashed oil economy by restricting Iranian, venezuela as well as American oil to the market.
For developing economies like India oil price matters a lot, inflation is at record high share markets are crashing around the world just because of wrong decision taken by Biden administration.
India is a balance when you calculate all the geo politic equations . If we move to any side it will change the world. And you sont have any other counter balance .
All of a sudden love for india us because of the huge market, our computer software coders and our economic potential. Russia is indias time tested friend
India's main problem is when China and Pakistan invaded India, the same West did not boycotts China or Pakistan. Also, West continuously needled India by many separatist or terrorist groups in India..... At the same time India finds West and it's democracy better and enjoys economic relations with the West.
Why West should boycott someone? While India professes pragmatism so the West professes pragmatism - making money, sending concerns, calls for peace and negotiations. Both are doing their best - nothing.
India says that they are driven by pragmatism and not ideology. They say that the Wests problems are not their problems so why would their problems be the Wests problems?
as long as US staged wars are not addressed or called out by the international community equally after the dissolution of USSR, the current west has no grounds to talk about morality in depth.
1999 Kargil war india requested US to provide satalite maps to fight intruders from pakistan. US didn't supplied which is fine its their assets their decision but stop begging for negative comments from india for Russia.
A lot of westerns here sounding like they're good people or people with values. As for the friendship with India and renewed run towards Africa it is only to counter China and Russia and not out of mutual respect. This is not a relationship that should he considered as reliable.
I agree as a "westerner" I don't want anything to do with China, Russia, India or Africa! We should live our life to depart from you as much a possible and only trade interact with ourselves! Also, if you aren't from west, you shouldn't be on TH-cam!

@@mayankahuja1970 Well said. If you hadn't said it I would have said the same thing, though not as well. I'm quite sure that the vast majority of Indian ex-patriots live in the US, and they have done very well here. I suppose a few Indians go to live in Russia, but I don't envy them. America can be criticized for many things - no powerful country is 'pure' - but America genuinely is "a flag bearer of Democracy", as you put it, and of freedom. That's the central reason why the US and Europe support Ukraine. There are geostrategic reasons also, but centrally it is for moral reasons.
@@DorianLS I totally agree. In today's world order democratic countries like US should be leading the world. Else we won't be having any world to begin with.
@Molt Exactly, should we abandon our karma for a so called "Friend". I too have come across such people. Also they are factually incorrect it was USSR which helped, not Russia and Ukraine was a part of USSR. Anyways now the times have changed and we need more democracies less autocracies.
Let me summarize it : "we in the West are fooling ourselves and losing the proxy war, so let's speculate about India/Russia relationship to make ourselves relevant"
Not only that, but the Americans are not intimidating India and call India "allies" simply because they want to control China. That's no friendly relationship and it cannot be counted on.
This is a good program. I would suggest that DW also do a similar program on how Germany is so cozy with China, also for the sake of pragmatism, i.e., money, while willfully ignoring the brutal violations of human rights, genocide, and countless sins in China.

The Indian foreign minister is right in his argumentation. Europe has not much to show, but get involved in Asia which means not much to people in other regions They cant even get their own house in order, but keep selling their viewpoint. India doesn't get involved in Europe unless they get invited.
The only reason India is not in the western camp is because of distrust towards the west.India was injured by china in 1962, yet no one came to help ,It's already a cold war before the first ended, as the west supported china against a democratic India. We had no choice to import from USSR. for us(Indians) we had to defend and so we went russian. But still we are changing our defence imports into american,israeli, french.
The colonial mindset of DW news is very present. Ommiting lot of information about Russia and Soviet immense support to India when the west isolated them. Soviet gave space technology to ISRO, 1971 crisis, India's intention to become self reliant country with peace and no dependence etc.

Economically, the hilly frigid border areas are not of much significance to both China and India. Although India and China got into a bloody incident recently, India and China have not fired shots at each other since 1962. India and China have deep historical relations and exchanges in education and philosophy. Although India and China were the largest two powers for 3,000 years till 1800, they never went to war with each other in the entire history, until 1962.
Start with 1962 China India War then 1971 Pakistan India War ------Who was supporting India at this time ? CCCP was covering for India while USA was propping up Pakistan's Crimes in 1971. Not just stopping at weapons sales. USA wants to Alley with India while threatening India with sanction for Defence missile cover from Russia S-400 ....

When you talked about the 1971 crisis you "forgot" to talk about the US's and UK's armies closing in on India and the russian submarines which came to protect India's coasts, that was a nice omission.
Correct your comment
They didn't came to "protect"
They came to bomb Us
They didn’t even mention how the Americans and British aided the Pakistani military to commit the 1971 Bangladeshi gen0cide with all their respect for “human rights”.
Yeah, DW is just another version of BBC. Present facts according to their needs.
Actually it was not the armies of the US and the UK, it was the US Navy task force with the USNS Eisenhower battle group that was supposed to come into the Bay of Bengal and potentially threaten India. Two things happened -- 1. Russia said their submarines were already in the Bay of Bengal, this slowed the battle group down, and 2. The Indian Army defeated the Pakistanis in 13 days, which was about one third of what the CIA and most western projections thought it would take.

Also, bear in mind that in 1971 the Soviets not only threatened the West about interfering with India-Pakistan-Bangladesh they also threatened China. The Soviets in many ways guaranteed India's victory in liberating Bangladesh.
In this context the Soviet union and India were friends of the Bangladesh people. The Indian Prime minister Indira Gandhi achieved the independence of Bangladesh by international diplomacy and by war .

how did Germany and Russia get so close - this is a more important question. Germany paying cash to Russia despite the war and holding off weapons for Ukraine is a much more heinous crime than India buying something.
Germany is dependent on Russia. That is why. We had 2 decades ago a real corrupt head of state who let the whole German economy let be powered and controlled by Russia. After that we had so much oil and gas infrastructure with Russia that we just let it be and hoped Putin wouldn’t do anything bad because he holds our whole energy system. Then Fukushima and we stopped all our nuclear reactors which had given us the last resort of energy which isn’t controlled by Putin. Now we hope green energy will save us but we have by far not enough of it and that is why Germany is anxious about crossing the red line. Because Putin could make our houses pretty cold in the winter if he stops the flow of gas.

Why should it be a dilemma for India, it's as simple as the USA dealing with the kingdom of Saudi Arabian. You choose your friends, your friends enemies are not my enemies. That's India's pragmatic approach to it's own interests as a nation. China will in many ways find a way out of the difference with India. It's not a question of how but when.
I doubt that very much. If china turns things around, it buys India time, but not much; a few years tops. Eventually, a China w/ an upper hand will throw its influence around. Unfortunately, the power balance favors China for the time being. They will not be able to hold this advantage indefinitely. In a decade, Chinese demographics simply won't be able to compete with India. We are entering an incredibly dangerous decade or two. China knows what is coming. It is incentivized to take advantage of its relative strength while it lasts. The downward slide in china may have already begun. That would not bode well for India/ China relations. Best case scenario is china holds on until it can't and power shifts quickly. I wouldn't be on the best case.

It's Happy to see in comment section how indians are understanding their diplomacy and upholding it
India doesn't have a political dilemma. Things are pretty straight on this end. Let's put this straight : *U.S along with its **_Allies_** tried to attack India and USSR defended by bringing up it's naval fleet to challenge the approaching powers. Normally this is taken as the point that strengthened Indo - Russian ties. However it is not. Indo - Russian ties is based more off Strategic and Trade importance. India has equal relations with all countries except Pakistan due to the continued cross border violations and support for terror.* At present Indo - Russia ties have become valuable due to rising energy prices from India's top most suppliers and sanctions on those from where it can be procured at a cheaper rate. It is common sense that Indo - Russia ties improve in this context similar to how the West keeps supporting China despite it's expansionist motives and actions against all of it's neighbors. The same west also supports a terror and rogue state called Pakistan at our borders and *it is the West that created Pakistan by introducing Religiopolitical Schism between members of the same nation to suit their own benefit to counter India's rise.* Hence, NO FREAKING COUNTRY HAS THE RIGHT TO QUESTION OR COUNSEL INDIA ON IT'S CHOICE BECAUSE THEY BASICALLY FORM THE CAUSE OF THE TENSIONS AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE UKRAINE - RUSSIA CONFLICT IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS AND NOT OUR PROBLEM LIKE YOUR MENTALLY DERANGED _LEADERS_ TRY TO PRESENT INDIA. LEARN TO RESPECT OTHERS. DW News has always been biased towards India representing it in the poorest way possible.
When India needed help in 1971 USSR/Ukraine was there to help. Now you buy Putin's blood oil and finance mass terror bombing. KARMA

We respect India and would love to develop an alliance together based on our similar (non-dictatorship) ideals but if that is not your preference then that is your prerogative.
It doesn't speak much about historical backstab of US and UK about supplying arms to terrorists which created a deep security concern for India by emboldening Pakistan terror support camps.Historically US was always on the opposite side of India ( terror funding in Asia, attacking west Asia to create instability, Pakistan support and everything). India is viewed as strategical partner, not an ally due to China threat. Giving Visa to Indians is nothing but for your own gain as you are getting labour at cheap cost( won't say skilled labour in general). India has its uses for west .Nothing less nothing more.

A deeply corrupt Regime in the Ukraine that is not worth the fight.

Total shamelessness.
i think the west had lost its chances over the last 70 years, when it did not help India, be it in food crisis, IMF loans ( where it asked India to deposit Indian Gold in London)or even in !971 war with Pakistan, when the 7th Fleet of the USA wanted to attack India, to save its own skin. No one in Europe even said a word when the Chinese attacked The Galwan heights two years ago. Now since, 24th February, after the Ukraine war, Europe has been in a problem, it expects India to cut off all its ties and work with the west against an old friend.

The West should understand India is 130 million peoples economy, and we are a formidable power, which the west will Need India for its own economy, a weaker Russia may not be good for India, but to date, the west should think more rationally and give India more breathing space in the world of Geo politics

I understand that point of view. I understand that India has to do what is best for India. I understand that India was a founding leader of the non-Aligned movement during the Cold War.
But betting on Russia’s aggression in Ukraine is not going to help India’s struggle against its real adversary which is China. Russia was weakening before the war and has been accelerating its decline by continuing its criminal misadventure in Ukraine militarily and economically.
I can’t blame India for buying Russian energy. Countries in Europe are still reliant on it, despite the sanctions. But India’s stance is seen as giving aid and comfort to a rogue country that has moved from adversarial to the west to a belligerent enemy. This isn’t acting as a non-aligned country and it’s not in India’s long term interest. It’s a diplomatic dead end and you can bet that Beijing will use this to their advantage in the decades to come. India is not playing the long game.
China is already increasing its influence in Central Asia, in the so called ‘stans that were part of the Soviet Union. Does India plan on facing this threat by itself? Does it really think it can foster long term cooperation by tying itself to Russia?
@@MarcosElMalo2 First of, it was Russia that helped during the border Skirmishes with India and China. Where was the EU then? Weren't borders important then?
Second, India isn't tying itself to just Russia. India has close ties with Israel, France, Australia, Japan and even the middle Eastern countries (UAE, Iran, etc). India has supplied BrahMos missiles to phillipines. India trades with middle eastern countries. So tell me, how is India by itself?
@@MarcosElMalo2 As an Indian I agree. Also it's important to note that India's economy is not in a state which can handle sanctions. I get why we are doing what we are, but a lot of people have turned this into an 'East vs West' kind of situation and ignored just how terrible all of this is. People are focusing more on things that happened centuries ago than how Russia has been acting recently, and honestly I don't know if this will end well.

Dear India! Make new friends but keep the old, one is Siver but the other is Gold:
"A friend in need is a friend indeed"!!!
You are from?
United States and United Kingdom are two countries that have had a history of creating rifts between different political factions across the world to facilitate sales of arms. When the Ottoman Empire was defeated at the end of WW1, Britain and France partitioned the entire Middle East into countries in such a way that tensions are always kept high in the region. They often took sides of different factions and ended up selling their weapons, gaining huge profits from a war which was never theirs, and at the cost of local citizens. This is not a new concept, and Indians are well aware of the British policy of divide and rule. Similarly, US also played the same role after UK was diminished to a weaker country after WW2, in what came to be known as the Cold War. In a systematic chain of events, US replaced almost all governments in both the Americas with regimes, which were often dictatorial in nature, and committed crimes of all sorts, so that their backyard was kept silent. A similar thing has been happening in Europe ever since WW2. NATO was systematically enlarged, with newer countries joining almost every other decade, which has now led to American weapons being stationed closer and closer to Russian borders. With the current war in consideration, Americans created such a situation, wherein they pushed the European Nations into giving up their old Soviet Era arsenal to Ukraine in a bid to counter Russia, and at the same time, striking deals to supply their high-end weapons and technology at exorbitant rates to European Nations, an offer which most of the countries cannot reject. As a result of which, Germany has committed to increasing its military budget to 150 billion USD from next year, placing it at 3rd position after US and China, most of which would be spent on purchasing F-35s to replace its current arsenal, and other weapons, from none other than the United States. Even in the South East Asia region, in a bid to counter China, US and UK offered Submarines to Australia, which Australia accepted after scrapping a decade old deal with France, for an imminent Chinese threat. We are also seeing similar such proposals being made to Japan, Philippines, Taiwan and even Vietnam(there are efforts being made to improve relations between Vietnam and US; for apparent sale of weapons). Creating tensions in the world to facilitate weapons sales has been an age old tactic of US and UK governments, a move that has often ended with genocides and unrest across the world, claiming millions of innocent lives, but making American and British economies one of the leading ones.

West is so eager to drive a wedge between India and Russia, India and China relationships to advance its own geopolitical interest. Russia has been playing a balance game between India and China, which all three are fully aware. China is play the balance between West and Russia too, and also India and Pakistan. So India is play this same game of balance too. Such balance games are much better than the actual war itself and unnecessary human suffering. The main reason of war in Ukraine is the loss of such balance between West (nato) and Russia.
👍👌👌👌
What is there to balance? Soviet Union is long gone. Russia need to wake up to the present. Therefore, they will hopefully lose in Ukraine. They need to be put in their place. Russia invaded Georgia, Chechnya, Ukraine. They are doomed to fail
You missed a crucial point: you need to be able to back up your claims of needing to be taken seriously & being included in the "balancing efforts", with actual hard power.

Also when India points out hypocrisy in the West, we are listening and reflecting on the painful but constructive criticism. We know we should be better too.
Americans of this generation are so tired of a world at war. A lot of us grew up after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and have never seen any long time when our nation wasn’t at war.
We’re trying to get to peace, even if it means sacrificing some of our goals. For example, America has given up on trying to turn Afghanistan into a modern democracy by force, and we’ve realized that force doesn’t work to spread our ideologies. We can’t spread peace via violence.
The American people are strong but we don’t want to be bullies. We don’t want to police the world. We want international law organizations to step up to keep peace and set just rules for how nations should treat each other. We want to give our strength to support a system with democratically shared control and representation from all peaceful nations.
Sadly, as soon as we start trying to be more peaceful, other countries like Russia start to see our love of peace as weakness. When they think we’re weak, they start looking for chances to attack and force us back into war. We will defend/support weaker nations because it is a moral obligation, but we are not warmongering people and we’re sick of violence.

Paradoxically India is in a geo-political "sweet spot." Certainly not geo-political squeeze. It is playing and benefitting from both sides and growing economically and militarily while the US and the Collective West are weakening because they are paying the price for the Ukraine conflict together with Russia. It doesn't really take a rocket scientist to figure out why the US is so tolerant towards India for breaking its sanctions blatantly? India is the cog in the wheel of the US Indo-Pacific Strategy. As to why India does not take a side with the US, my view is that India does not trust the US if history is any guide whereas Russia has always been proven to be a reliable ally. Russia's relationship with China is only secondary to India.
the US and the "collective west" have been "weakening" for decades, yet, the world is increasingly growing dependent on western technologies, IP and know-how
russia has been proven to be so "reliable" that india started buying equipment from and forming partnership with the "untrustworthy" US.
the fact is, all these countries economies are build on western systems, using western IP, technologies and know-how. this has made them exponentially dependent on the west. the narrative about the west declining is a fantasy (and a clickbait) and you are welcome to live in that fantasy. but every now and then maybe just peek into the real world and realize how much of your life and livelihood revolves around and is increasingly dependent on western inventions and innovations.

It Isn't the case my friend India is loosing just because of useless American sanctions for example China is buying cheap Iranian crude where as India still dependent on US crashed oil economy by restricting Iranian, venezuela as well as American oil to the market.
For developing economies like India oil price matters a lot, inflation is at record high share markets are crashing around the world just because of wrong decision taken by Biden administration.
India is a balance when you calculate all the geo politic equations . If we move to any side it will change the world. And you sont have any other counter balance .
Well said vro, Putin's Russia knows that India is not just another country its more like a family 🙏🏼
All of a sudden love for india us because of the huge market, our computer software coders and our economic potential. Russia is indias time tested friend
As a proud INDIA I am supporting RUSSIA. And I'm not ashamed of it.
India's main problem is when China and Pakistan invaded India, the same West did not boycotts China or Pakistan. Also, West continuously needled India by many separatist or terrorist groups in India..... At the same time India finds West and it's democracy better and enjoys economic relations with the West.
india needled by terrorists funded by the west? source?
Not only west supported Pakistan in that era but Russia stood by Indian side
at the same time india could ask russia to invade northwest and northeast china. xinjiang and northeast china used to be ruled by russia.
Why West should boycott someone? While India professes pragmatism so the West professes pragmatism - making money, sending concerns, calls for peace and negotiations. Both are doing their best - nothing.
India says that they are driven by pragmatism and not ideology. They say that the Wests problems are not their problems so why would their problems be the Wests problems?
as long as US staged wars are not addressed or called out by the international community equally after the dissolution of USSR, the current west has no grounds to talk about morality in depth.
They forget 1971
From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
1999 Kargil war india requested US to provide satalite maps to fight intruders from pakistan.
US didn't supplied which is fine its their assets their decision but stop begging for negative comments from india for Russia.
A lot of westerns here sounding like they're good people or people with values. As for the friendship with India and renewed run towards Africa it is only to counter China and Russia and not out of mutual respect. This is not a relationship that should he considered as reliable.
I agree as a "westerner" I don't want anything to do with China, Russia, India or Africa! We should live our life to depart from you as much a possible and only trade interact with ourselves! Also, if you aren't from west, you shouldn't be on TH-cam!
@@anti-emo4721 As an "Indian" with lots of "Western" friends I quite agree and disagree with you. The world is not that simple and @Ty Me is completely wrong here. I don't see any "Indian" CEO of Russian or Chinese companies. Google, Twitter, Microsoft, and Oracle all are headed by "Indians" who are well integrated into the "Western" world. It is not "Only" to counter China and Russia, which execute their own citizens, but also to be a flag bearer of Democracy and shared values with the west.
@@mayankahuja1970 Well said. If you hadn't said it I would have said the same thing, though not as well. I'm quite sure that the vast majority of Indian ex-patriots live in the US, and they have done very well here. I suppose a few Indians go to live in Russia, but I don't envy them. America can be criticized for many things - no powerful country is 'pure' - but America genuinely is "a flag bearer of Democracy", as you put it, and of freedom. That's the central reason why the US and Europe support Ukraine. There are geostrategic reasons also, but centrally it is for moral reasons.
@@DorianLS I totally agree. In today's world order democratic countries like US should be leading the world. Else we won't be having any world to begin with.
@Molt Exactly, should we abandon our karma for a so called "Friend". I too have come across such people. Also they are factually incorrect it was USSR which helped, not Russia and Ukraine was a part of USSR. Anyways now the times have changed and we need more democracies less autocracies.
Let me summarize it : "we in the West are fooling ourselves and losing the proxy war, so let's speculate about India/Russia relationship to make ourselves relevant"

Great series. Definitely missed some key historical moments but comments section did the job well.
India and Russia is true friends 😍❤
Well many European countries thinks its all about weapons but for us its about having and keeping a loyal friend.
& oil
Not only that, but the Americans are not intimidating India and call India "allies" simply because they want to control China. That's no friendly relationship and it cannot be counted on.
This is a good program. I would suggest that DW also do a similar program on how Germany is so cozy with China, also for the sake of pragmatism, i.e., money, while willfully ignoring the brutal violations of human rights, genocide, and countless sins in China.
Terra X already did that
FUTURE SPOILER:
ISRAEL IS BEHIND THIS MESS! THEY PLANNED THIS WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA & UKRAINE..AS THEY WANT WEST AND EAST DESTROYED BY RUSSIA NUCLEAR!!..
BEWARE OF ISRAEL..THEIR BIG GOAL TO BE WORLD RULING COUNTRY. TRUST MY WORD. WAIT AND SEE!
Are you a Chinese?
@@YashSharma-zp8yu No, fortunately I am not.
So where is that genocide actually happening...!!??
You said 'India is in dilemma' while being in India with full safety..
That's India for you. 🙏
It's common sense to hold together the closest and the most virtuous and firm ally, than a far away 'friend' who isn't consistent and dubious at times...
The Indian foreign minister is right in his argumentation. Europe has not much to show, but get involved in Asia which means not much to people in other regions
They cant even get their own house in order, but keep selling their viewpoint.
India doesn't get involved in Europe unless they get invited.
The only reason India is not in the western camp is because of distrust towards the west.India was injured by china in 1962, yet no one came to help ,It's already a cold war before the first ended, as the west supported china against a democratic India. We had no choice to import from USSR. for us(Indians) we had to defend and so we went russian. But still we are changing our defence imports into american,israeli, french.

Russia, China and Pakistan: Three brothers ❤❤ pakistan and india all fighting as brothers
The colonial mindset of DW news is very present. Ommiting lot of information about Russia and Soviet immense support to India when the west isolated them. Soviet gave space technology to ISRO, 1971 crisis, India's intention to become self reliant country with peace and no dependence etc.
For indians, Russians will always be seen as brothers
🇮🇳🇷🇺 stronger together.

Russia, China and Pakistan: Three brothers ❤❤ pakistan and india all fighting as brothers, being blown up together
Two lines From indian foreign Minister Jai shankar sums it up Entire 🇮🇳 india position in recent Globesec meeting in Slovakia :
1)" Europe must stop to think their problem is world problem,and world problem is not their problem"
2)"India is not sitting on fence between Russia /China and USA,India is standing on his ground for what that is best for 🇮🇳, we are not here to pick allies",you are speaking about India position wrt to Russia and China on Ukraine issue...common, India and China issue is more old than anything...there are more issues outside Europe,and Europe must know it
@@abijitsm9972 that’s debatable two different people/ leaders with different plans ….this war could’ve still happened( Russia/Putin really want all of Ukraine)
He says.... while in Slovakia = Europe.
The irony is off the scale.
India might not be here to pick allies, but that never really worked for anybody in the long run. ^^
Also, saying Europe is not internationally proactive might be popular in India & true in the past, but not in the last decade.
@@elektrotehnik94 it worked for us(Indians) in past cold war. We will remain neutral in this new cold war with a good relationship with USA against china
@@elektrotehnik94 It worked for switzerland.
To be Frank India highly respects 3 countries. Firstly Soviet union/Russia 🇷🇺 then Israel 🇮🇱 and lastly Japan 🇯🇵. They're our time tested friends and we got each other's back. We certainly do not trust colonialist forces.
It was Israel and Soviet union who helped us in crucial wars and Imperial Japan supported our freedom struggle by aiding SC Bose with the Azad Hind fauj.
India is and will be a sovereign country . So stop telling us what to do , Europe and America . Its 2022 right now , the colonial period was way back in time . So grow out of the mindset that India is still one of your colonies and will do whatever you desire .
When Americans and Europeans say that India is on the wrong side of the history by staying neutral in this war , i feel offended . I mean , when India was fighting to help Bangladesh become a free nation in 1971 which side did the West support ? Did they not support a country named Pakistan whose army committed horrendous war crimes in Bangladesh and still to this date is a home to the most number of UN certified terrorists ?
