Hey Shekar, I know you always say that you are always talking about how data starved you guys are, so I was wondering if you saw this survey/report by Deloitte it is an FDI India comparison report from September 2021: www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/in/Documents/finance/in-fa-India's-FDI-Opportunity-Deloitte-survey-report-noexp.pdf
Well explained👍
Good analysis, but ur too much obsessed with Pakistan. While Shyamaprasad Mukherjee Govt of India wants to dominate, project power & spread influence all over Asia with eyes on from anatolia to Caucasus to south east Asia to north Africa & west Asia.
It is almost established that the position in Kashmir cannot be altered, still Pakistan continues to raise the issue of Kashmir in every forum. Why so? Does it help Pakistan in any way?
She is a euro hawk...
The only thing India needs to do right now is to focus on how it is going to bring broad-based economic reforms and reduce extreme poverty.
As of now, India is a strong country and holds quite a high stature internationally but once India reaches those double digits in GDP then these backhand comments by western countries would be handled effectively
Perfect comment.
It has to be both an outside and an inside job. In addition to the structural changes you suggest, we should invest in education that inspires inclusive dialogue, discarding of the poverty and survival consciousness that has gripped Indians for last 500 years, recognition of the role, contribution and necessity for wealth generation and generators, and turning inward to transform our collective consciousness based on the truths of our great civilization. Any economic clout garnered will be enhanced by the underlying foundation.
Cant agree more. “When money talks everybody listens”. We need to focus on long term to make India stronger economically:
The Best Foreign Policy for India right now is > 8% growth.
@@kripanithya Absolutely. I agree. I also want to caution you that we shouldn't be stuck up on our past glory. Something we see happening a lot here. Indians, while being proud of our historical achievements should strive to replicate what the developed countries have achieved. That's through increasing exports compared to imports. Becoming a manufacturing hub, rather than a service providing hub, which we're now. Improving our public infrastructure drastically etc.
Pakistan is so important to the print that Shekhar used the word "pakistan" 15 times in the first two minutes 😂
Haha Good one
Pak is imp for india extremists
SOB IS BORN TO A MUSLIM
It gets him clicks
Pakistan and Ukraine were also somewhat close in the past when it came to supplying each other with various types of military equipment.
Shouldn't we as Indians be glad if Pakistan goes back to being an American lackey, keep raising Kashmir and treat geopolitics as their most important national focus. That's what they have been doing and see where it got them, I would be worried if they started talking about actually making the country better economically and socially.
👌
A more clear headed thought would be hard to find. India should applaud Pakistan's laser-focus on the *wrong* things.
But they would have to have brains for that first.:)
Sudip.. The same thoughts I share
U should not be so much cruel being Indian with our Indias son named Pakistan. 😜 If son Pakistan wants to follow Father Indias terms & conditions & instructions & geopolitical footsteps, we should accept them in our subcontinent geopolitical camp. 😁
" I would be worried if they started talking about actually making the country better economically and socially." - You shouldn't be. That would workout in India's favour.

Another CTC I think remains lacking in quality, like the one on LCH, Pakistan is being used as a bargaining chip to pressurise India and this is not Pakistan's doing, it's India stance on certain issues, which set these things in motion. This card has been played many times before, but going forward, it won't be as effective as it was in the past.
Spot on.
True
As long as Print is alive Pakistan cannot be ignored.
😂😂🤣🤣
SG: Germany has been doing this off n on ...Germany did rake up human rights thing also sometime in 2018. Another possibility of doing so by Germany is due to European rivalry with France as India is copying a lot with France. So keep that also in mind.
Another thing I would add is that Germany is not a nation where it's economy follows the political voice, rather it's the other way around.
A lot of business in Germany is supportive of China. And still wants a stable relationship with China. Let's not forget that Germany is the only EU major which hasn't Arrived at the Indo-Pacific.
It's real IRONY that a region that nurtured the Nazis, enslaved & colonized India & the rest of the world, imposed their fascist civilization & created a world war are talking of human rights!!
Im sorry as a German person we have no rivalry with France whatsoever. Idk where you got that idea from. Since WW2 Germany and France have been best friends and that isn't changing any time soon.
@@theflyingpan1068 you have already hit the nail on its head... you mentioned WW2 rivalry n that's good enough to prove a point that there is a history of strained relationship between Germany n France which may not be visible on surface but its always simmering below. Moreover in the recent submarine deal fiasco of supplying to Australia, its was quite evident that France was left gasping for support from its European neighbor Germany which never came. So you would be completely fooling yourself if you don't look beneath the surface. Man, it's a competitive world n there are always jostling for more. I guess I have explained enough...
@@Arvindchauhan-qv6gd Haha bro you have no clue what you are talking about. US and USSR were allies in WW2, look what happened right afterwards. Take it from someone who is from German-French border, there is absolutely no rivalry. Every relationship has issues but France is our closest ally in the whole world. What surface is there to look under? Have you ever been to either country? If you had you would know your comment is wrong.
Thank you Shekhar ji for a dispassionate and pragmatic CtC on Foreign Affairs and especially Pakistan. It is easy to get swayed by emotions and ignore the arguments in favour of say Pakistan, the US, or even China, might I say at our own peril.
Pakistan's Basic Instinct is : " I shall NOT be ignored "
The more India will exert itself against West, US, China or any other country, the more those countries will pamper Pakistan because it's sole existence is India(read Hindu) hatred.
The purpose of Pakistan is to keep India contained within the subcontinent. To meet that end all foreign powers will ensure that state will survive.
Beyond symbolism of US-India relationship, fact remains US ambassador's post is vacant fr 2.5 years
Looks more like an unlikely come back for the Print and Shekhar Gupta😂
sg never disappoints with his obsession with the P word
I would make another point why Pak can neva be isolated ...that would be coz " India always remains non allied" ...and non of the western or eastern powers can 'Use' India, the way they do with Pakistan in this region.....coz it has neva been a sovereign state...but rather a playground for west over the years....n it's very well understood
By the way, what was the regional role of india in past, where as pakistan had huge role in middle east, central asia also.even it has role in shaping map in central asia.
India was always afraid to play such role.
Even now as you see pakistan is fully supplying weapons to Ukraine and on other side in central asia to azarhbaijan along with turkey against armenia.
Even in the union of east and west germany pakistan had a huge role.
And in history Recognitions of main land china as the only govt into UN

One of them is TRUE. I'll let the people decide.

Pak behaves like a teenager josh mai hosh khodeta
Only Economic growth can help India.
Pakistan will always be in somebody’s lap as it has a simple foreign policy of being Anti India.
Economic growth ensures that they can’t damage us.
And Europe Usa don’t think about playing with India.
Russian war is changing a lot of relationships in world as Shekhar Ji predicted earlier.
Imran Khan was thrown out of power because of his leanings towards Russia. Now the Pak army and Sarif need America and America need Pakistan. At present foreign policy of India is clueless.
Why should they give any clue ; Just to create confusion in the media ; Indian Foreign policy will be aligned with Iran and Afghan and its future steps ; We will simply import oil from them , if prices are cheaper ; God and Iran only knows on their Nuclear status ; Let Uncle Sam go to hell ; They want an air base to enter Iran ; Pak suits that ; That may be a thought but more likely ;
They know very well what to do,haven't u listened jaishankar's remark on western hypocrisy of supporting military dictatorship rather than india?
U r so out of touch

How ??
Not only Pakistan can be ignored, Pakistan should be ignored. The West is once again cozying upto to this terrorist state because India has started flexing her muscles in International forums, and has expressed the desire to follow an independent foreign policy, beyond what US wants. So US and its minions are trying to pin India using the age-old recipe of "Kashmir". It's good to see that they don't have anything else, because Kashmir is by and large a "non-issue". It will become even more so, as development steadies and the economy swells.
@Print & most colonized Indian analysts don't have a clue!! A deeper & sharper analysis which sees the global picture, national & civilization-al interests is beyond them!!
They are experts at towing the western/Islamist line!!
IF Russia can hold on US at bay, it's perhaps a matter of time before US led NATO weakens!! It still will be a nuisance but not enough to harm India or energy & resource giant Russia!! And guess what a growing economy & civilization needs when growing...?? Yes!! Energy & Resources!!

When I was an intern at MEA I had exact same point to Joint Secretary that Pakistan has had more successful foreign policy than India. However narrow and unidimensional but it has always been able to score points when it needed.
When You have unidimensional approach in any area . You are bound to get some success in that area. But, life definitely foreign policy is multidimensional stuff.
If u don't have multidimensional approach in any arena you are bound to fail eventually.
@@a_02_prakashnayak59 spot on. My entire point was the same thing. Tactically they have had a successful foreign policy. Imran Khan wanted to shift India like strategic foreign policy.

Shekharji advises caution on chest thumping at any small victory of India while dedicating an entire episode on what scraps are fed to pakistan for buying their compliance and subservience as a sign of some great comeback the very next week
This way of approaching things is exactly the way our MEA ministers use to handle things. It is very important to look at recent developments from a Pakistani political perspective to properly understand how to counter their moves. And if you just want chest thumping devoid of critical analysis, there are enough media channels fulfilling that requirement of yours. When it comes to the game of geopolitics, analysis should be cold, which CtC does hence filling an informational void.

Dear SG,
I have been listening to the discussion on how Pakistan has strategic advantage on CTC for years now. I fail to see how any other nation doesn't have a unique strategic advantages of their own. It's just that most don't use this as a method to pimp themselves which is where there is a huge difference wrt Pakistan.
Your naievity is evident from your comment.. pakistan's situation is already very unique and brings it into geopolitics even if pakistan doesnt want to take part.. two of the most notorius countries of the world i.e. afghanistan and iran share their borders with pakistan which have remained undefeated by any super power and if pakistan join the gang, it could make a power in the world that is undisputedly undefeatable.. as far as india is concerned u guys have no ideology of ur own, and each and every single foreign idea is first adopted and implemented by indians which is why u guys are the favorites for west.. just look at the indians living abroad, they gel into the culture so easily and do exactly same as the westerners..

Instead of harping Pakistan every time - it's better to focus on our strengths and improve them further. Reducing Joblessness, Defeating Poverty, ensuring equitable social welfare, Destroying Illiteracy and Boosting our Economy. Also, we need to change our mindset towards the corporates just like as they need to change their mindset towards us. All this will take time - but this is what we should walk and work towards - not petty enmity and warmongering! We should keep the target of making India a developed economy as soon as possible!
excellent analysis Shekhar...
Was keen to hear your thoughts on the sudden German urge to bring up Kashmir and UN. I understand the US and China angle. But what was the sudden compulsion from Germans? Revenge for us raising their oil/gas purchase from Russia?
The current German minister dislikes Russia/Putin too much. Her blood pressure might be going of the roof over India's silence.
Whatever let's not waste our energy on Germany which is already sleeping deep in the lap of Russia that it's dreams are about "Money in China" .
Let's us concentrate on building our economy weightage in the world, and let us work for more power and foothold in the world. Then not Germany not US nor anyone can play the hypocrisy card with us

Hi,
Thanks for the appreciation!
Always glad to hear your point of view about several global issues Sekhar Sir 🙏🙏.. keep it up 👍👍👍
Any correlation with Amit Shah recently declaring that we won't talk Kashmir with Pakistan (in effect meaning that back channel diplomacy has failed)?
It's vlogs like this that make Gupta Saab one of the top and best rated journalists in all of South Asia at least. He's a reminder to all "opinion" makers and so called journalists that you should always stick with facts and not do propaganda all the time...!
India should focus more on her economic growth. Look at China, they don’t care what a country larger then them in population thinks about them, only because they are economically much stronger than any of their neighbouring nation. So why should India care so much about pakistan? Pakistan can continue their reliance on western aid. And hence they have to go to IMF for bailouts twice every decade. Western companies are not going to set up their factories and research facilities in pakistan even if the western government forces the companies to do so. They will stick to countries that have better policies, stable government and educated youth. Even now when US and China’s relationship is going through the lowest point, having started a trade war, US has not been able to stop US companies from investing in China or completely withdraw from China. Western government can do a lot of things but being the torchbearer of capitalism they can’t force their companies from a particular nation until and unless the said nation has committed a huge act of aggression against humanity, in that case US along with her western allies would be quick to impose sanctions. Pakistan is going to stay the same, inherently dependent on western aid for their survival. Once the west stops providing aid for a brief period like what happened during Trump’s tenure, pakistan would again move to IMF for another bailout.
Very well analysed and balanced. The only way out for India is to keep it's financial growth steady and reach a 10 trillion dollar economy in the next decade or two
India just needs to stay focused on own priorities ...as she has been doing so all along. Equations will keep changing and get readjusted in Geo Politics. However if India can demonstrate strength and become a source of stability it will attract all. India must continue to believe in herself.
Absolutely right. I don't know who is defence minister of Pakistan
Great analysis
I think you guys don't do enough of Pakistan. I love it when Shekhar sir does a piece on Pakistan.
But this time, it deals with an India which has got more leverage than the India of the 80's & 90's. It's be interesting to see who India aligns with to counter this pseudo peer pressure from America, infact this could be America's counter measure to tackle (and eventually hoping to prevent) India from veering away from the 'Dollar' 😅 as the recession sets in hard
Excellent and balanced analysis. It is important for us Indians to realize that Pakistan as a nation will never be isolated for a myriad of reasons. These vary from geostrategic location to a nagging irritant to keep India's foreign policy in check.
Sir..very good analysis..great...but one crucial thing missing is China and Pakistan future relationships vis_vis pak and usa growing understanding..I don't think China still persists with Pakistan...
Actually, United States understands India's dynamics and Pakistan is an irritant for India and the media will magnify these signal and ThePrint and Shakher Gupta is all about summerising US Media for Indian Audience
Very important to analyse developments in Pakistan. Keep friends close, enemies closer.
Hi Sandip,
Thanks for writing in.
NOT A SINGLE COMMUNIST IN WORLDWIDE CANNOT HATE THEIR MOTHERLANDS.BUT,IN INDIA WE HAVE ........JUST IMAGINE DOODS.
Yes , communists around the world are more nationalist than any other groups specially in China , N korea .
Sir where can I access the map of India you showed at the start of this episode.
Isn't Pakistan isolated already, even the little trinkets of attention it's getting now is for all the wrong reasons like China and Ukraine War. And I never understood Guptaji when he says "nations act in self-interest", but who decides what "national self-interest" is? He said "don't blame" Pakistan where foreign policy is dictated to the government by the military. By Guptaji's reasoning no foreign policy can be critiqued.
Sekharji, thank you for your brilliant insights into why Pakistan can not be ignored by US. That is a generic phenomenon. But, why suddenly western Nations I.e. US and Germany have woken up to the cause of Kashmir. Would appreciate if this is uncluttered. Our logical thinking suggests India's refusal to join western block in Russia Ukrain war and also purchase of oil from Russia against US sanctions seemed to have irked western Nations and they use Pakistan as a tool to corner India for this.
Exactly
yes ..thats the reason.....
If you don’t do bidding for USA, they will find some thing to irritate. I hope India learn how to keep above the fray. Pakistan always love to be used by western nation and by china. Pakistan have not learned to keep their interest first.
Gupta Ji, very clear insight
Hi Amandeep,
Glad for your response.
Western world is blackmailing India to accept their terms. It’s high time to both India and Pakistan resolve outstanding issues for the everlasting peace in the region.
Give back POK that's the solution
It's Pakistani interest to honestly admit that Kashmir was NEVER part of Pakistan & never will be!!
It's also in Pakistani interests to leave the ideology inspired terror mind set!!
Peace with gazwa-e-hind type extremists.. never

The only thing that matters is growing indias GDP. Everything else is a side show.
Taking this discussion on a slight tangent, the main reason we are discussing this is the West is upset with India on its stance on the Russian war and is trying to piss us off by engaging with Pakistan. I'm very curious to understand your take on why the Indian bureaucracy is not more strongly against the Russian invasion. Our growth & prosperity is more aligned with the West. Most of our IT guys go to US/Europe and not to Russia. Much of our exports are also in that region (US - 18% vs Russia 0.85%). In general, the West also has better weapon systems than Russia if we want to import future weapons (although Make in India is the way to go here). Spare for our current Russian equipment is certainly a risk if we go against Russia. But I would argue that because of the Ukraine war, it is anyway at risk. i.e. tomr is there is an attack on India, Russia will not be able to supply us with spares due to the current Ukraine conflict. Why burn the political capital on something that is not just in the first place? After all Ukraine is a democracy and should have the right to chart its own future. Russia is not an economic power and the people of Ukraine feel that their needs will be better served aligning with Europe than with Russia. Surely Russia cannot force them based on their military might.
You're absolutely right in saying that India's best interests is in aligning with the west. But this not the right time to do it. Russia invaded Ukraine on a whim, without any warning. If we jump ship now India will lose all its reputation as a non-aligned country, which has historical ties with Russia and being a bad ally. Instead I see Indian government is already taking steps to reduce its reliance on Russian weapons and its oil. This'll be a long process, just like the process of reducing the dependence of imports from China. But the wheels have started rolling.
That's not the point. We shouldn't support any ally if they start an unjust war with another country. As an example, the US is also an ally of India, but say if the US invades Mexico tomr, we would condemn it. The same should apply to Russia too. btw Ukraine is also an ally.
@@shreeram79 You're comparing apples to oranges here. India is closer to Russia than the US. India's closeness to Russia stems from mutual trust and the fact that they stood by us when even the US was against us during the 1971 war and few other instances.
I agree that from a moral point of view India should outright condemn Russia for invading Ukraine, but India has come close to doing that multiple times asking both countries to get back to the discussion table.
@@reach2prasanna In 1971 it was USSR which stood with India.World and Indian foreign policy has moved far ahead from 1971.Even the USSR doesnt exist anymore.
You really would not want a Russia-China alignment that is against India. That was one of the very few things Nehru had succeeded in.
We don’t need to conform to any bipolar alignment. If the West still has the Iraqi war era rhetoric of “if you are not with us you are against us” then they will continue isolating themselves. It is just detrimental to them, not to India.
Geopolitics isn’t a binary where people will refuse to engage for such reasons. Look at their trade with China despite the fact that most countries dislike them.
Good analysis. Totally impartial views.
Khawaja Asif is Pakistan's defence minister but in our country defense minister is cermonial post.
Pakistani army is only institution that keep pakistan stable, discipline otherwise pakistan will become ungovernable if you remove army from pakistan. That is why indian or american govt like army gen in high office for conducive environment. They get results on the table. Let arm forces in high office before democracy takes its roots in pakistan!
Thanks!
Nothing happens in suddenly, Pakistan will be isolated, US itself will lose the place as unipoller world leader, even good things end one day, why not Pakistan
Shekhar ji... You bring such deep insights into these videos... that I really feel proud to join this channel.
This channel is not for the masses... It is for the select few who value expertise, nuanced views and coverage of issues that really matter.
Hi Suraj,
We are really glad for your response on our CTC. Thanks you for taking a paid membership for our channel, believing and appreciating our journalism.
The select few can be fools & can make dictatorships like Islamic Pakistan!!
If he picks up those goddamn pieces of paper up ; one more time I'm going to scream .....EEEEEEKKKK
I have never seen india so vulnerable and isolated in history 😐
The way I see SG doing 1000+ episodes of ctc and still saying they are not bias, makes me think, who is giving money to make these episodes. The views for ctc are
There's a thing called channel membership and subscribing to ThePrint as well
And the video literally started with an ad of a sponsor
I think you have known about the print for quite some time but very rarely watch ctc episodes.
As always, impartial and very informative.
Hi Syed,
Thanks for tuning in and appreciating our journalism.
@@ThePrintIndia you are both delusional. We all know you are baised and unprofessional.
Saste nashe mat karo.
Impartial??!! Lolz!!
Ghanta impartial. Pakistan ko bhi whitewash krte h lol. Gadhe bech rhae h ab vo log . Tu bhi chale ja bik jaega 😂 katua ghoda , behhn ka lawawda
International community has handled very professionally, what are you talking sir, so many life's has been lost. No one cares, only Mr Modi ji ki policies have worked. There is no need of Pakistan 🇵🇰 in Kashmir period.
I had a rather Pakistan in US camp than in China!
Guptaji is confused whom to ignore China or pakistan. Look at the dilemma😜
You are doing a brilliant job Sir
Videos are useful for UPSC and CSS aspirants in both countries.
Keep going 💙
What's CSS?
Lol 😂 u. UPSC is above these short clips
@@rakesh98713 Not Really.
UPSC needs this kinda sombre analysis not Indian Version of Global Times, WION.
Hi Laraib,
Thanks for tuning in and appreciating our journalism.
@@danishansari1232 upsc contents are above all those content u mentioned..... And if u are a pakistani then Print is very much u need less..
As we rise our problems are going to magnify. So let's mot worry. Just strenghten ourselves economically and in hard power. Rest shall fall in line.

India should immediately start oil trade with Iran in Rupee and save our depleting FOREX reserves.
Why follow the line charted out by the USA?
If the Chinese are embarrassed by Russia, how about India? Actually, the impression one gets is that Jaishankar is a Putin ally.
Dear SG Sir, you must have heard something from Mahabharata… DHRITARASHTRA HUG…. Someone who gets closer to Pakistan is welcoming trouble
In a Parallel Universe, imagining life of SG running print out of Pak and doing India namasmaran....will be interesting to watch...
Glad to see the print cross 2 million subs, hope to see 10 million very soon
Lol
Hi Raghav,
Thanks for your wishes. We value your support and appreciate your interest.
@Print ideological & colonial masters like BBC & CNN do have 10+ million!!
The comments "cut the clutter" better than Mr. Gupta's "analysis"
Que Sera, Sera to Shekhar Gupta from ThePrint
Pakistan 's army chief is being rewarded for info on Aljawahari.
Excellent analysis Shekhar.In my view,India is making a mistake in not talking to Pakistan and at the same time unwilling to support the west on Ukraine.It does not take too much for US/Pakistan relationship to be at india's expense
Sir the fact is India made Pakistan in 1947 n India is making Pakistan stand on it's feet again in 2022 with some weird policies ! 🤨
But how come Shekhar happy to ignore Bangladesh - they have a higher GDP and GDP growth rate
Gupta ji 🙏
