No disrespect to Mr. Ellis, he is trying to promote his country and get a good deal with India. But I would warn Indians not to get misinformed from this video. As a person who has worked extensively with Brits in India, Singapore and in US, I have realised following: * Brits consider India as nation inferior to their own. They are appalled that India has progressed so much and has beaten them. They do not like that as a nation they consider themselves living in the "glory" years of colonialism * Even though British government wants a friendly relationship with India, it is not because of the fondness for our country or culture but self-realisation that they are not a power any more and with decline of US they need a friendly power in Asia-Pacific region. * Indians need to ask a question why were so many separatist elements from India (Islamofacists and/or khalistanis) were/are given safe havens in UK. It is a way to control internal politics in India. * I have to whole heartedly disagree with Mr. Ellis assessment that economic offenders or fraudsters prefer UK because it is a great country to live. Smita ma'am was absolute genius when she asked this question. Reason is that majority of money laundering happens via financial institutions of London. Money is not parked in banks of London, but laundering happens via financial institutions of London. Also Indians need to ask why majority of gold transactions happens via London. There are articles and an amazing documentary about the involvement of UK institutions in money laundering. But UK government protects them as it is a major source of revenue and economic enforcement division of law enforcement of scotland yard or MI5 are under funded or not funded at all. They do not have any convictions for decades. * It is not just economic offenders from India, but Russians oligarchs also prefer London. Majority of million pound flats and above are owned by Russian oligarchs. This was allowed for two major reasons: 1) To get their money of course 2) To have political influence with in Russia. I hope Indians remember our history and realise that we can be friendly with UK or Brits but never trust them like we do Russia. Russia will not be a great military power in future but I hope India and Russia can trade and both benefit from our history. I believe we have repaid our debt to Russia for 1971 support, but I hope we can be friendly for decades to come.
Smoothing the roughened fraying surfaces nicely … but please address the BBC’s question too … today it suspended a programme participant and a peer, Mr Inder jit Singh after 40yrs+ of service because mention and reverence to ninth and tenth Sikh Guru would risk upsetting a certain community although remembering such recent history just like Holocaust is important to remember just to avoid a repetition…
Having debates in your parliament directly attacking our sovereignty, using your state funded news agency BBC to push anti-hindu, anti-india agenda etc., makes UK an antagonistic state against India. This country could never get over it's colonial hangover.
Why not Indian media ask tough questions like their media did with our politicians... Ask.... 1- Do you have any plans to say apologise for looting India. 2- Do you feel sorry for what Winston Churchill did in Bangal. 3- why your state owned media such as BBC interfere other countries internal matter. 4- Do you have any plans to return Indian stuff which you stolen from India and placed in your British museum.
The UK is the 51st State of the United States. India has to keep that in mind when dealing with this country. He seems to be balanced in his views until it came to the issue of Ukraine. He said it is an unprovoked attack on Ukraine by Russia. He claimed that Ukraine is a democracy while Russia is not. He said that the Ukraine war caused all the economic issues. He did not mention that the West did a regime change in Ukraine in 2014 and installed a pro West government. This government then started a war against it's own citizens and killed about 14,000 ethnic Russians. Until this was started, most of the reporting in the West regarding Ukraine was about it's Nazi connections. The moment the war started, Naziism and white nationalism in Ukraine was swept under the carpet. It is the European/American reaction to the war (trying to isolate Russia), that caused the economic crisis, not the war itself. He said a few times that UK is a democracy and the parliamentarians there can say what they want. But in a democracy, can the parliamentarians say what they want without the party that they represent approving it? I don't think so. The United States, UK and most of the Western nations are no longer democracies. They are controlled by powerful bureaucracy, intelligence agencies and corporate media.
Tell him ask the UK news organisations, politicians, groups , individuals not to interfere in the internal affairs of India as how thy don’t interfere in the internal affairs of most muslim countries. Why these ppl n groups only target India n Modi? Are thy trying to change the PM ?

Woow, an amazing podcast 👏🏼 Smita Praksh did bring out the dagger a couple of times, in such a slave manner! Especially when letting the high commissioner know what's spoken about in UK parliament abrogation of article 370 is unwelcome and not taken kindly in India, especially given the colonial past (a statement underscored by the High commissioner in a defensive and prophylactic way). Masterpiece!
This was wasted interview. You accepted all his answers without much pushback. Sorry, but you just gave him a platform to come and just regurgitate meaningless platitudes, very disappointed.
Yes Smita was smitten by Colonial hangover of the Gora. She should have certainly asked why UK need Ukraine in NATO, enough to start a war? But no Smitaji, was being like Damadji has arrived fir dinner.
ब्रिटिश हाई कमिश्नर भारत में गहन तफ्तीश करने वाले होते कौन हैं! उन पर बाकायदा केस चलना चाहिए। भारत सरकार से हमारी मांग है कि उन पर केस चलाया जाए और बाकायदा उनको सजा सुनाई जाए इन आपत्तिजनक कार्यों के लिए। यह भारतीयों के साथ एक तरह से गंदा मजाक है।
Some topics for BBC -- - How British Monarchy like a petty thief took the kohinoor and not willing to return it. - How much of the wealth of the now so called common wealth nations has been looted by Great Britain.
If UK values the relationship with India, the advise is not to play Billawal of Pakistan. We Indians are certainly not amused by the false propoganda against our PM.
Viewers don’t care if he liked Indian food or not. We want to know why they allow folks who harm India either physically or economically with impunity. And when stolen valuables from India are to be returned as they wish 🇷🇺 should return things to 🇺🇦. Enough of the jolly Brit image, we suffered tremendously under their brutal colonial rule.

In his mind he might be saying - Saala tum Ghulam log teen guna lagan dena padega. One one hand praise India and on other hand relase BBC propaganda. Old habits die hard.
Wonder why the ANI team chose to talk to the British High Commissioner. A UK PM of Indian descent is, no doubt, historic, but Britain is a declining power economically and militarily (even in Europe). As for the BBC (the British “Bakwas” Corporation as it was recently described on another platform), it continues to treat India, particularly PM Modi, with a disgracefully colonial attitude! Regarding the verdict on the Gujarat 2002 riots, the Supreme Court of India concluded (based on a thorough SIT inquiry) that there was nothing incriminating against PM Modi. So, who gave Tony Blair the right to conduct his clandestine inquiry in another sovereign country? This is the same Tony Blair who led his country into war against Iraq, based on fabricated evidence of “weapons of mass destruction." Ellis mentioned Gandhi’s statue in London, but there is still no memorial in the U.K. recognizing the service of millions of Indian soldiers who were literally used as cannon fodder by the British colonial government during the two World Wars! Sanjeev Sanyal described (in his new book) the shameful methods used by “contractors” of the British colonial government, to literally abduct able-bodied young men from poor families in Punjab, train them, and send them off to be killed in Europe’s battlefields! The BBC would never have the honesty to produce a documentary (despite ample archival evidence available in the U.K.) on the actions of the British colonial government that caused famines, killing millions in India, while it shipped foodgrains (grown in India), to feed British soldiers in Europe during the Second World War. Also, no chance of the siphoned $45 trillion by the UK ever being repatriated to India, not to mention the ancient sculptures, and the Kohinoor diamond. So, is there something unique about the India-UK relationship that it truly deserves to be further cultivated? The simple truth is that a post-Brexit UK now needs to lean on India, much more than India needs the UK. Even in the UN Security Council, it is other countries like France, which have consistently supported the need for India’s inclusion in the UNSC. The relations that will be of greater impact for India in the 21st century, are those with the U.S. ( that has a bigger Indian diaspora of 4 million, particularly in the high-tech sector), with Japan, and with France, which has a much greater interest in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and is a close defense and strategic partner of India in the IOR, besides India’s growing relations in the Middle East, particularly Israel and the UAE. Australia also has a close economic and strategic partnership with India.
Weak journalists: 175000 students when they apply bring 3.5 billion pounds of revenue via the legal banking system of India 5 Pakistani generals/ politicians bring about the same amount of money by siphoning money (definitely not within their salary provided by pak state) !! how you can let compare both of them ?? probably his charm doesn't let you ask difficult questions like how about India hosting a freedom of expression by a group of people wanting separate & free Scotland??
Britain always have good diplomats ! Aise he nahi , colonise kr liya humko .. isse puchte why Britain not releasing India related archives pre independence ?
Sir British and the west never understood the true of spirit us. Unless you shed out your colonial and religious superiority, you west will never ever understand us. We elected Modiji as our PM and how dare your country broadcaster BBC taint our PM without the evidences. We will elect Modiji again in 2024 !!! This is the power of Democracy.
Smitha you should have asked him British parliament discuss and they are free to discuss. Does it mean that they are sitting free and don’t have anything else of their own to discuss.
Remember British were very nice and spoke in greatly in Indians languages and spoke praises about us from 1612 to 1757, until they started to ruled us, don’t get flattered when somebody acts nice; that’s cuz they are weak. Tables turn very quickly.
It is hard to take him seriously in the backdrop of BBC's hostility and propaganda against India since 1947. After all, BBC is funded by the UK government, so the UK government is directly responsible for BBC's malice towards India.
*Note: Interview recorded before BBC Documentary on PM Modi aired*

It's ok..we have NDTV, WIRE etc they hv BBC .. democracy hv spoilers with agendas.👍
The issue with BBC is the most important question that needs to be asked to any British diplomat. This podcast is no loner relevant

You really think people are foolish to not put 2+2, about why the interview was done ?
So far this interview seems to be a PR exercise for the high commissioner to say sweet things about India to the viewers.
The British are masters of messaging and achieving their objectives without raising any suspicion!

The relations that will be of greater impact for India in the 21st century, are those with the U.S. ( that has a bigger Indian diaspora of 4 million, particularly in the high-tech sector), with Japan, and with France, which has a much greater interest in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and is a close defense and strategic partner of India in the IOR, besides India’s growing relations in the Middle East, particularly Israel and the UAE. Australia also has a close economic and strategic partnership with India.
Indian troops used as cannon fodder? WTF?
Kindly don’t interview people from countries that do not matter. Britains relevance died with the Queen. We don’t need his stamp.
After BBC controversy , now ambassador is sugarcoating India 🤔 . Seems like a propoganda
Kick this guy out I say, he may be secretly recording a BBC documentary/propaganda.
Weak journalists:
175000 students when they apply bring 3.5 billion pounds of revenue via the legal banking system of India
5 Pakistani generals/ politicians bring about the same amount of money by siphoning money (definitely not within their salary provided by pak state) !!
how you can let compare both of them ?? probably his charm doesn't let you ask difficult questions like how about India hosting a freedom of expression by a group of people wanting separate & free Scotland??
On the Tibet question , he went about in circles deliberately.
Britain always have good diplomats ! Aise he nahi , colonise kr liya humko .. isse puchte why Britain not releasing India related archives pre independence ?
THE GUY KNOWS HIS BUISNESS, A DIPLOMAT WHO NEEDS TO BE PRAISED. WELL STRUCTURED DIPLOMATIC ANSWERS.
Really done your job ma'am
You just white wash everything
Sir British and the west never understood the true of spirit us. Unless you shed out your colonial and religious superiority, you west will never ever understand us. We elected Modiji as our PM and how dare your country broadcaster BBC taint our PM without the evidences.
We will elect Modiji again in 2024 !!! This is the power of Democracy.
What rubbish.
Block the BBC in India
Smitha you should have asked him British parliament discuss and they are free to discuss. Does it mean that they are sitting free and don’t have anything else of their own to discuss.
Isko bolo apne BBC pe taala lagale. Waise bhi UK ki koi izzat nhi hai iss desh mai. Inhe hamari zrurt h hame inki nhi
Ban BBC first then we talk about taking relationships further
Remember British were very nice and spoke in greatly in Indians languages and spoke praises about us from 1612 to 1757, until they started to ruled us, don’t get flattered when somebody acts nice; that’s cuz they are weak. Tables turn very quickly.
Great work Smita Prakash! Proud of you!
It is hard to take him seriously in the backdrop of BBC's hostility and propaganda against India since 1947. After all, BBC is funded by the UK government, so the UK government is directly responsible for BBC's malice towards India.
Bring annamalai
They all have a óne sided view when it comes to Russia. Very skewed.
What about, BBC??
Did not a Brit - George Orwell- said the British are par excellent in hypocrisy. (No question mark)
All countries are hypocritical. Orwell was a communist, he will say shit like that.
