@john doeother panelists being a part of research think tanks are better in articulating their points and I'm not sure ambassador sajjanhar is part of any think tank,ofcourse it's always good to listen to debates on foreign policies and IR .., especially on big picture
It appears from internet that Ashok Sir is associated with ORF and also heads a think tank. He is also a prolific writer. I always follow his programmes on Rajya Sabha TV and other channels for my UPSC preparation because he combines the analysis of a scholar and experience of an ambassador.
@@pankajsrivastava3656I was doubtful abt ambassador sajjanhar profile ,thanks for clearing it to me Regarding his talk being useful, I have already said that some like his method of articulation and some donot,in my opinion he is too good for someone looking for gist of foreign policy and IR but not for those who want to learn more or in-depth
IMPORTANT POINTS FROM THE TALK -Centrality of asean in our act east policy -Sensitivity of asean partners-they want to be in driver seat -concern of China that India trying to isolate it while connecting to asean -asean wants to maintain cordial relations with both - India’s SAGAR plan - reservation of China Quad unfounded. Quad is only free fair trade in indo Pacific. China worried about “what if’s” -huge potential of quad in future if worked out properly -Abe 1st proposed indo-pacific concept Originally meant arc of prosperity and maritime security Now it’s about rules based order due to China angle -3 versions of indo pacific l Indian( peaceful trade etc) American model( transgression of China) Asean model (shared responsibility and power) -our concern Chinese submarines, islands conquering, patrolling etc. hence, need quad. We need 2 strategies Asia Pacific Indo pacific -asean doesn’t have military muscles. Unclos verdict rejected by China on its face. Without firing single bullet, it conquered the waters - USA back then was not interested in this area but now times have changed -China=single biggest threat to USA hegemony -USA looking towards bimstec as a subset of indo pacific. Bimstec already overtook saarc Likeminded countries should come together Paradox=our focus on tracking China but small countries want us to focus on more important concerns like climate change, trade, disaster managements, etc in indo pacific China BRI double edged sword = security plus economy. Economic-military strategy We need to partner with small as well as big players in the region collectively FIND ALTERNATIVES TO BRI. Most urgent call for all Develop a strong economy as well as military
It puzzles every time I see dislike/s on every RSTV informative videos. Actually what dislikers are looking for!! Porn? or what ! If they hate good reporting or have created permanent bias in mind, avoid coming to this channel.
This is called democracy. If few are disliking the video it means there is a scope of improvement which can be anything increasing the time duration of an episode, reducing the number of panellists etc. Dissent vote always helps in democracy.
@TheChiller007 The comment on which I have replied is not about the content or outlook of a video. It is a general statement. Coming back to the democracy, today democracy is not a narrow term. If it is then:- 1. RSTV on TH-cam along with Many ministries and President's office channel on TH-cam? 2. Twitter where you can directly twit to the PMO? 3. MyGov.in can share your ideas. I do not see democracy is only about government and people in today's era. Technology helps to bridge the gap. If likes are an indicator of positive then dislikes are also an indicator of the negative side of the video. What kind of constructive criticism you are talking on video? When I have not made any statement on Video or content. Many people you can see in the comment section asking to increase the time limit, same show in Hindi, Reducing the number of panellists. Those can be reasons for disliking. Note:- I have not disliked the video.
One thing I feel about the rajya sabha shows are that they are too short............... I mean, with a wonderful person hosting these shows and top bureaucrats, diplomats, analysts, editors, military personnel, etc coming to the show, I could watch the show even for 3 straight hours, without break............... because these guys don't beat around the bush and say some bullshit facts............. they keep their points very relevant to the question and also link the other information in a way that helps us understand the overall issue............ but anyways... Thank you Frank and Rajya Sabha TV for these shows.
frenk sir ! make some debeats on various social issues, which is much important in current scenario. we would want to alot of ideas for improve our social situations at this time. our social febirc decrease very fast because of some political and radical reasons.
If India will strong both military powe and,economically many smaller country feel safe so there in this context everyone want to see India is strong in Asia...no one believe on non believers Chinese govn at any stage...India must have stable govn...cast your for stable gov.
