Even Nawaz Sharif had the shame to resign after being caught in corruption, but our Sahib Ji won't resign after Electoral Bonds scam.
Pakistanis abuse Mir Jaffer for his betrayal which allowed the East India Company in India, but they picked Mir Jaffer's Great Grandson Iskandar Mirza as their first president who repeated the history by laying the foundation of Pakistani army control... They themselves have to blame.
well i don not who u are but your comments are true as famous american journalist once said pakistani only knows trpple A"S ALLAHA. AMERICA. ARMY Pkistani should read authentic history books masses of pakistan and political elite are illeterate and even do not know about the partition of INDIA which was a blood bath of million people
It is not the loss of power to EIC that bothered them, but the fact that the power was lost by an M dynasty to the English. Do you think Ms be it in India or Pak lament the loss of Marathas in the 3rd Anglo-Maratha War or the loss of Sikhs in Anglo Sikh wars?
They actually only care about the relative power of I over Hsm period.
@@nicolasflamel3489 Yes, that is how Pakistan thinks and hence they are on this problem.
Now India and Indians have started thinking like Pakistan and hence we are going in Pakistan direction.
By the way, Sirajuddaula was an Indian Muslim and not an invader.
Also, just read history and try to find out who invited Babur to come to India.
Did not know that. Really?
@@maheshdocherla Mirza was MirJaffer great grand son.
That tells us about history, power and people who gets benefit.
Those who were working with the British, were der chamcha, were supporting them in ruling India, were working in police, army, administration, or were never carry a single rally, protest against the British, are the Powerful in India or in Pakistan.
Forget about democracy in Pakistan, real question is if democracy is alive in West Bengal 😢
well democracy is dying in the whole country, why is Bengal any special?
Obviously you live in a cuckoo land 😂
Try speaking out against Mamata Banerjee while living in WBengal. People like you are either too lazy or too stupid, you can choose whichever one you prefer.
@@ameytiwari1247😂
What a joke
😂😂😂😂 Joke of the minute
Democracy in Pakistan is like Schrödinger’s cat both dead and alive . 😂
What is quite interesting is happiness index, press freedom index, etc Pakistan is higher than INDIA. Shows how much sham these indices are and how Indian elites vote against India in every index
What is the difference between the Schrodinger's cat and Pakistani Democracy?
Schrodinger's cat may be alive.
Nice 😂😂
He is worrying on pak democracy more than Indian democracy. What a tragedy.
😂😂
We don't need Pakistan politics, we first need our internal politics, first talk about Sandeshkhali.
kudos to the Pakistanis for standing up to this corruption. Well done.
both sides are corrupt. Pakistanis are st*pid.
Pakistan never had democracy.
This is not the "First time" as Shekhar ji puts it, in the Pakistani history. In 1970, the majority Pakistani people (including East Pakistanis) had voted for Awami league, which was against the wishes of military rulers (and the Punjabi elite).
Pakistanis had voted PPP in 1970
It was Bengalis who voted for Awami leauge.
PAKSTAN
P=Punjab
A=Afghania
K=Kashmir
S=Sindh
TAN=balchisTAN
East Bengal change their name to East Pakistan doesn’t make them Pakistanis
@@usmanqureshi08this fake superiority complex has brought your country down. Btw Bangladesh currently has a much better economy than Pakistan.
@@usmanqureshi08 hmm so the country's name is Pakstan and not Pakistan
Not sure about Pakistan but in India Democracy has died so many times in last 10 years😅😅 and it becomes live again and again it dies😅😅 so this proves that Indian democracy has got Sanjeevani mantra from Daityaguru Shukracharya 😅😅 that it becomes alive again to die again 😅😅 because the opposition cries every day 'democracy ki hatya ho rahi hai' matlab democracy har din marti hai aur firse jinda ho jati hai agle din marne ke liye 😅
Shekhar Gupta and his team must find out that Daityaguru Shukracharya or get access to the sanjeevani mantra to save Pakistan's democracy as well as the secular(fekular) media from Modi😅😅
@@MihirS84
“I” is added in English spelling so it sound native
In Urdu Pakistan has 7 spelling , in English 8.
Google etymology of word Pakistan
Pakistan is the longest running comedy serial !!!
Analysing Pakistan is a waste of time....just enjoy the comedy 😄😄😄😄
I am.ashamed ot our journos... Shekhar for claiming to be one of the finest journalist from India, want to find Democracy in Pakistan, while in the same breath want to find autocracy in India!!!
They really need to introspect and maybe learn a few lessons about Democracy in itself!!!
The nation is ashamed of you
I mean what is problem with that? everything has shade nothing comes in black and white. Everything should be analysed with reason then accepting it at face value and I do not think he said pakistan's democracy is stronger or superior than India's .
@@surajrawat6802 I am resisting to reply to other comment, just because the other one is just out of context.
For you, I don't think I am going to wait until he compares Indian Democracy to Pakistan's! Not because Pakistan's Democracy is inferior to India's.
If you examine closely, there is no Democracy in Pakistan. The so called left leaning journos try to influence the public of India by discussing the democratic state of Pakistan whereas they have never had Democracy and we for all must learn to call spade a spade!
It is a high time that our journos realise their duty is to our country first!
@@surajrawat6802 just to have a crash course for people who are unaware of Pakistan politics...
To explain why SG's analysis is wrong: Pakistan's army dictates what their elected PMs will endorse as their policies.. and if they fail to do so, the Aryan will not wait for aforementioned 1, 2 or 3 years before dethroning them.
India is best served by not listening to stupid analysis of this episode and go by its current policy until she finds otherwise substantially.
Just so that we know, the majority (read with emphasis on majority) do not approve of better relations with India.. irrespective of who is at the helm of the country.
Chill dude , entire point of analysis was people are resisting army's interference in politics, in the new age of social media now it is very difficult to supress people's voice. what you are talking about is democratic government which is a part of democracy , it is not synonymous to democracy. Pakistan does not have a democratic government for sure but you can not claim pakistan has no democracy and maybe equate it with countries like north korea.
And for the point we should not discuss pakistan politics I do not agree , no one is saying to improve relationship with pakistan but pakistan's politics determine Indias furhter actions to ensure security of India .@@umangdesai4136
I haven't found any site where it has been mentioned that the voting turnout was more than 70% in Pakistan election 2024.
Most of the observers are hinting at 47% voter turnout so can you provide any source from where you got this information?
Human rights in Bengal isn't as important as democracy in Pakistan for national interest?
Hindus are fodder. Who gives a damn
We the people took our Stand, Choosed our side, No more establishment, no more ugly power hunger politics. We stand firmly with democracy, This vote witnessed that people and Establishment are at different side of the river.
Sandeshkhali
Waiting for mr gupta to speak about it.
Looking at its history, Pakistan never had a democratic system, and Pakistan does not have it now. This facade of democracy will slowly destroy Pakistan. How that would affect India should be analyzed and studied, and India should be ready for such a scenario. Thank you for the video
Pakistani will never be gone .they have China and USA behind them and nuclear power too .
Forget about it
Haan bhai, Pakistan doesn't have a democracy, that's why a party won despite not having an election symbol and having their leadership in jail. Our system isn't perfect but we're trying to make it better and one day we will succeed, there is a unanimous agreement among our people, that the army should not be involved in politics, in fact their power should be limited to the bare minimum. Funny thing is you guys make everything about yourselves, even if we have an internal matter, you'll snoop in to give it an Indian angle, go think about Manipur and how that would affect India and it's global image as a secular state.
At least we are not faking to be a Sheculaaaar staaaate🤣🤣
We accepts we don't have democracy but have You???
@@ahmed_deftonergod ur so dumb,did imran manage to form a govt or not?
@@shazainbaloch2538we're far greater a country than your tinpot state 😂
Given that Shekhar Sir chose to discuss Pakistan elections in 'National Interest' and not in his usual 'Cut the Clutter' tells me that he believes the joke that Pakistan politics is our internal matter🤣
😂😂
He has said that many times already
Bharati have unhealthy obsession with Everything Pakistan
Maybe it’s due to lack of common identity among Bharatis which force them to look up to Pakistan as common unifying factor.
It’s strange small Pakistan doesn’t care about Bharat🇮🇳
But Bharatis have specialist to explain PAKISTAN
@@usmanqureshi08"small Pakistan doesn't care" then why are you here anyway replying to a comment meant for Gupta not for people like you😂
It is our internal matter lol
Old man prefers Army+Sharifs... over Khan 😅 simply because india also is far from perfect. Since Khan is all about inspiring common people to unite and stand against elites for their rights, revolutionary leader like Khan can pose a threat to their rotten systems too.
Kl ko agr tum log sb mil ke keechad m nahane lg gye na to imran khan bin soche smjhe dubki lga lega😊
Bro, Imran Khan himself is an elite. India is not perfect but our current PM comes from a very humble background and has performed very well. And remember, only some Northern and Western Indians even think about Pakistan, rest of India does not care about Pakistan at all.
Comment about democracy in west Bengal. It has been dead here for a very long time.
If you have to compare Bengal to Pakistan ,you have lost it my orange Friend
@@mohitanand1844 wb citizen?
@@mohitanand1844what are you green guy? Chadarmod where in India killing, looting n rape is carried out by a winning party except in Waste Bengal?
Every bangali knows what's going on in Bengal , corruption in every aspect of everyday life , Gunda raaj , syndicate baaji and the overall reign of islamic terror ... Everyone can see , but some Kolkata based bhodrolok like to live in their own cocoon and be blind to the rapid downfall of our sonar bangla.
Who tf uses nunchucks in India?
shekhar gupta
Not a good thing to 😅use in ads
😅😅
Democracy of Pakistan is buring issue for National interest but not #Sandeshkhali and anti democratic approach of Mamta Benerji
i was wondering why this was in national interest episode whereas for uae temple or even for Pran Pratistha it was a cut the clutter episode
Imran Khan is the biggest leader Pakistan has ever produced after Jinnah.
Neither of them can do şhiit
A more appropriate question would be - "Is Pakistan dead or alive?" Were they a democracy at all, ever?
Pakistan is very much alive, my friend. On the question of democracy, I will say this: There have been 8 elections since 1970, and each one has had flaws. The most telling, perhaps, is that no prime minister of Pakistan has completed their term. Thank you for watching and writing in...best wishes, Shekhar
@@ThePrintIndia many thanks for the kind reply, Shekhar ji. Appreciate your gesture 🙏
Gupta ji Sir Pakistan was never a democracy, but todays question is India a democracy ❓️
What about human rights in sandeshkhali? Why no coverage, is it not important then pakistani elections?
If INDIANS choose modi we dont agree with his extreeme politics, but the choice still remains the people of INDIA,
Why is he talking about Pakistan in national interest?
Still not a word about sandeshkhali, SG badly wants a RS seat
This episode might as well not have been released. The frantic pace at which you guys decided to deliver this was a fool's errand
Shekhar ji your title for this video reminds me of Schrödinger's Cat who can be dead and alive at the same time. 😂😂
The 2-cent journalist has solutions for every world problems, but wouldn’t talk about Sandeshkhali.
He doesn't speak against his Ummah.
He and his team are gathering facts ; maybe you don't understand or like the truth . Till then entertain yourself with crossborder frivolities .
moral does not bother Pakistani generals, absolutely right
Thankyou sir
This miserable man all the time in the world to pontificate about Pakistan. No time to even to so much as to mention Sandeshkhali.
Gupta is vested in his own self serving, limited unnuanced narrative about IK.
I am Bengali from Siliguri, Why should we be concerned about democracy in Pakistan.
Is Bengal has democracy any more?? What happened to Bengal's democracy?
Pakistan never had democracy and will never have until the army empire is present .
So now Pakistani elections are India's "National Interest"? This has become a joke now. Where is Sondeshkhali? I guess its too cluttered for your little brain. Chee! And you want us to purchase subscription?
It is like Schrödinger's democracy.
@ShekharGupta Just a small check...Turnout for general election on wikipedia for this election is 47.8% . Seems like cited reference is correct. Can you please crosscheck or I am missing any on different unit of measurement....
FINALLY SHEKAR GUPTA AWOKE TO REALITIES OF OUR ACIDIC NEIGHBOURS. ALWAYS SPEWING VENOM AGAINST INDIA & ABOVE ALL THRIVE IN THIS ACID. 😅😅😅
The US declared a couple of days ago that the election in Pakistan was competitive. You ought to have commented on this strange and perverse view of the US.
Shekhar ji when you will do a national interest on democracy in West Bengal.
I am a supporter for Mr. Khan's PTI. He clean bowled the Pakistani Military Establishment.
Pakistan is ‘home ground’ for SG.
Why silent on Sandeshkhali?
Mohandas was a prophet, he saw all this happening, So in collaboration with Jinnah - amputated United India to save India.
Jinnah was a great patriot for India, took the poison with him. We all misread him.
Only that Jawaharlal sabotaged the grand plan in 1951, stopping the population exchange, the amputations did not work to perfection to its stated goal.
Only if Mohandas was alive, he would have stopped it 😉
We have owaisi now doing same job for Modi and Rahul is just collateral damage
That meme was unwanted considering that what you have stated is brilliant .
Long live Imran Khan
We simply can ignore the democracy & happiness index, look at Pakistan and feel happy! Thank you Pakistan 💚💚💚
Imran was stupid.
He thought he had got the top job in Pakistan.
He had only become the Prime Chaprasi to the Rawalpindi Generals.
But now....for the first time the Pakistani people have realised that the Army Generals are Chaprasis to the US.
Pakistan having democracy will be the biggest problem for India .lol
Why
Imagine if their obsession with that 1 book ever ended. They will study science. They will allow common sensical freedom for their population allowing them to think freely.
It will be so bad for us
@@MrCake-ui8uoonly an absolute dune would want his enemy to be organised and proper .a democratic Pakistan will be ten times more powerful than current one
@@yuvrajshikhar3327that one book has science, philosophy, ethics, manners, economy, politics, everything 😂.... another biased indian
@@yuvrajshikhar3327the main thing stopping us is only the army and corrupt, incompetent bureaucracy... nothing else
Fantastic analysis...🧐👍
“Pakistani Democracy” is an oxymoron.
If you know the literal meaning of word “Pakistan”, you know there is room for democracy.
This is better analysis than pak news channels I’m sure
They have clean and effective democracy upto the level that is required. Fauj does not interfere in Panchayat or Municipal elections. These are free and fair. National interest is a different thing.
You just feel sorry for common people of Pakistan, who are bullied to agree all that Army wants and no is not an option.
Imran in a suicide vest.... what an analogy
Fir v sandeshkhali par kuch nehi bolega😡
This is a paradigm shift. Numbers are very interesting. 7.64 crore people have voted in this election(as compared to 5.31 crore people voted in 2018 election). Out of 2.08 crore newly registered voter 1.49 crore have voted. Such big influx of voter in unmanageable. Army has miscalculated both Imran and his Voter. Daily 18000 voters are getting register. As per SBP, Governments in Pakistan will be decided by first time voter till 2048.
Most Indians are not bothered about it Let people of pakistan elect a govt not inimical to india in the best interest of Pak
All those waiting for Sandeshkhali should let him get the facts first and dust settle.
Pakistan is more important for them than Sandeshkhali
In which world is this veteran journalist in, when was democracy alive in Pakistan over the last 75 years. His obsession with Pakistan has blurred his analytical abilities.
Why is Imran so viciously against India?😂
India is now in the same stage Pakistan was under Zia in the early 80s....economy is doing great, Corporate is calling the shots, Mix of religion and politics....next 20 years we will know the effects of the current policies
Indians must be thankful to the Pakistani Establishment as their intervention in the politics is neither in the favour of Pakistan nor for them(Establishment) but in the favour of enemies of Pakistan especially the India.You must be scared of that day when Pakistani establishment stopped interference and went back to its genuine job,the defence of the country from enemies.
The voting turnout was 48 percent not 70 percent.
❤
Shekhar is obsessed with pakistan.
Mani iyer and he share the same madness
You are deluional if you think Pakistan ever had a democracy😂
Lets talk democracy in terms of peoples desires. Even if relates to self harm, lets apreciate the peoples will.
It may be the weaknesses of leadership. Do not mix up realist thinking democracy.
Wrong question Mr. SG. Instead of asking the question "Is Indian Democracy Dead Or Alive" you have directed your question towards Pakistan. Nothing strange though. . Over the years, you have also developed a fine art of deflection just like your political master. Good going 😮
Dear Shekhar sir, kindly do a similar piece for Indian democracy.
Mr. Gupta, u talk very eloquently and have a good style. u shd. 4:24 wear a good fit jacket if I may say so.
Woooow I appreciate the one vote for Imran Khan. Imran was honest when he arrested and he arrested to satisfy America.I respect the people of Pakistan, because they inselt the Westeros. Even if the Pakistan military is America's dog, but also Pakistani show their solidarity for the best man. Always I support anti-Western movement 💪 👌 🙏
Forget Pakistan, focus on India . And stop shaking your head and flailing with your hands so much.
2:09 looking like S. Somnath sir 😂😂
Democracy is also endangered in India where hindu fascist organisations are tightening their grip at rapid speed.
Na Kashmir Mila, na Mila atta. Mila to sirf Pakistaniyoko Jahalat, Zalalat 😂
Cool story bro
What do you know about these hindu fascist organizations?
If 76 years have not matured us,how much more? One wonders.
When india through US tried to bring back Nawaz into power but now after election they have to some how praise Imran and people’s choice in pakistan 😂😂
No idiot. Qadiyani army hates Imran
Imran is in jail, go feed him
Chup ker qadiyani
What never existed couldn't be dead
The Pakistan Army being a "a moderating force" is a joke. Journalists who do not understand Pakistan should not provide an analysis of its current affairs.
To SG, dude!! Was it ever alive???
Correction : Shujaat Hussain floated Musharraf's King's Party not Altaf Hussain, who is the self-exiled Mujahir leader.
❤❤❤❤
Nothing new , all Muslims country is like that
Pakistanis voted against Asim Munir, not against the Army. Big difference.
Brilliant analysis , as usual , by Gupta Sahib.
Pakistan me democracy zinda kab thi ?😂
Of course there is no more democracy in Pakistan. its only pak army who reigns since decades
98.5% is even better than Putin. Putin got 97% in crimea referendum to join Russia 😂
Awaiting anxiously for your verdict on INDIAN DEMOCRACY in a few months time....hope that it will be fair.
We'll have a special correspondent from islamabad to enlighten us ...
Not sure about Pakistan but in India Democracy has died so many times in last 10 years😅😅 and it becomes live again and again it dies😅😅 so this proves that Indian democracy has got Sanjeevani mantra from Daityaguru Shukracharya 😅😅 that it becomes alive again to die again 😅😅 because the opposition cries every day 'democracy ki hatya ho rahi hai' matlab democracy har din marti hai aur firse jinda ho jati hai agle din marne ke liye 😅

Pakistani democracy 😂😂. Shekhar ji I didn't know that you a fun side as well 😂😂.
SG sir it seems that democracy is dying in our part of Bengal too, any NI or CTC planned for it
West Bengal is in worse situation than Pakistan!
The problem is would this lead to any change. Like the agitations post Mahsa Amini death in Iran people will go up in arms and will be crushed by the establishment. Others will watch by the side, people will get tired and things will go back to the same. US has already said it was a great competitive election in Pakistan while raising questions on the one in Bangladesh.
Pakistani people have been captivated by the gangster generals of Pak army for the last seventy years. These gangsters are the main impediment to the democratic process of Pakistan.
Islam and democracy are mutually antagonist. No shame in that
Its a fight between Army Chief and ISI.
To lose first you have to play the game, they never played.
Lol, not long before we will be debating the same for India.
