The protest large numbers of young people In Thailand began against the regime in July still rage on, defying an emergency decree. What is the protest about? How Thai politics resembles Pakistan and where it differs. Thailand’s tumultuous and unique political system, the military-monarchy nexus, make it the world’s most unique occasional ‘democracy,’ so conveniently inured to bloodless military coups. Shekhar Gupta explains in #CutTheClutter Episode 600 how this is under challenge now.

Sir; the photo you show for King Prajadhipok is actually of King Ananda Mahidol
Sir regarding the topic of dictatorship..what are your views on Singapore?
Sir you said you wouldn't take ads, why are you showing ads then??
Just made a small contribution for the amazing work the print has been doing while covering diverse subjects. :) would try to contribute every month.

Congrats on 600 episodes SG!
Thank you! Here is to many more!
Sir, I am a subscriber and invariably listen to your talks every night, and enjoy them enormously.
May I request you to not to have such a jarring ending tune and starting as well, it really startles one. They, in my opinion should be subtle and understated.
Thanks,
Cyrus
Sirji this is youtube comment section no need to be so formal though I appreciate it
Hi Cyrus. Thank you for writing in.
Chal apna kaam kr lodu
The current monarch is real legend, he was was so fond of his pet dog that he gave him rank "Air chief marshal". What a way to insult your armed forces. When the dog passed away he was cremated with full state honors like some war hero.
Thailand military interested more on politics and less on defense of Thailand. I think just like pakistan army, Thailand army is the only army deserving of such insults.
Savage😂😂😂
Caligula and his horse....
Thank you Shekar ji,was looking forward for this CTC.
Listening Gupta ji on 2x speed is bliss.
Strong monarchy weak democracy but excellent governance something works
Well Educated people. If they had a strong democracy they would be most successful nation of Asia
Thanks for sharing your understanding
Terrific details. Great CTC!
Something is really messed up with your music and animation lately
wrong channel mate
"and they will wait" 😂😂😂poor Prince Charles
He may book his ticket before his mother 😁.
Prince is just 71 years old. So young
@@sarsonsar0 yep it's kinda young for their family standards
Prince Charles is basically Munna bhaiya
Finally the most awaited... its here! Very well researched indeed. Also congratulations on completing 600 informative and educative episodes of CTC! Well done @ThePrint🥂
Cut the Clutter with SG..
..still the Very best. 👊🏼
Thanks SG ji for explaining the Thailand’s turmoil so nicely. This CTC was easy to follow and entertaining and yet packed with lot of details.
As a Highschooler I love your explanations Gupta ji it's always lucid and also the little trivias you give helps in my credit.
Yes! Amazing. How I wish I knew how to make my kids more interested in what's happening around. They say: Mama reads boring stuff n listens to boring podcasts.
@@josephjames859 me too bro iam 12th btw but I listen to all ctc's
Same
@@advaitV25 In which class are you studying mate!!!
@@angtasp3640 I'm in 12th as well!
SG on a coup in the country:
"Unka roz ka hai, hota hai lunch ke time, kuch naya nahi" :)
Lovely insight for the topics described
Good programme(s) on world affairs. Dispels “frog in the well syndrome”...
Heartiest congrats on 600. Keep de-cluttering. Long live SG & CTC
Hi Srinivas! Thank you for tracking us daily!
Pati Patni aur woh! 🤣🤣🤣 @theprint never fails to humour! Big shout out to Shekhar sir, Taran and Srijan for a terrific story ! 👍
Hi again, Annika! Keep writing in.
SG's comment on Yellow shirt is too good.
Sir please help AFCAT aspirants in getting the answer sheets of students because there are many discrepancies in the result .
I was very confused about this Thai Situation but now I got it all. Thank you Shekhar Ji
Eye opening information... Thanks 🙏
I love listening to Shekar Gupta at 1.5x speed. Thanks for the wonderful journalism by you & your team
.
Thanks for tuning in.
Sir, every video of yours is insightful, informative and gripping. I thoroughly enjoy your analysis on every issue and events that take place around the globe.
🤩🤩😇😇😇🥳🥳🥳 👍👍👍 thank you so much for great information.
Hi there, Bosco! Good to see you in the comments section again!
Nicely explained.
Love your research
Shekhar sir, your decluttering is simply super...
I m waiting for Achara's reaction
Thank you for such informative videos. A quick quality check, something is wrong in your closing music from last two days.
Hi Natraj. Thank you for the feedback and do keep tuning in!
The graveyard of empires and dynasties is filled up due to the simple conundrum: what to do when the son of the king is a idiot.
Then outsider comes in and creates his own system
In medieval times outsider used to be a governor or local satraps
Thakshin was a trump of Thailand only less outrageous and very savvy.
Thai system has many parallels with Iran
thnx Sir
Shekhar bhai U R the one who gives apt news . No additions deletions.. No distortions.. Good.. Go ahead
Shekhar sir can't resist *cricket * analogy.. Just like me.
A true Indian 😍😄
Shekarji, it would be wonderful to have an everyday show on international affairs like this one
Wow early by 7:00 pm.
Congratulations for 600th CTC.why No reporters covering bihar election?
Hi Saad. Thank you! We absolutely have reporters covering the Bihar election. Do go through the video content and tell us what you think.
Sir, you are gem to journalism.
Please make more such cult the clatters
Make one on Nigeria and other on Belarus.
Mr. Gupta is the last of the true journalists we have.
This channel shows the real JOURNALISM 🙏🙏🙏
True service towards our...right to truth. ..right to information... Really helpful shekhar sir...
You are the best. Bringing int affairs to India in such an objective way. Love to see more episodes on international affairs and other countries. Can cover Nigeria next. Perhaps do one episode a week on int or have a separate weekly show saying world this week where you can cover major int developments in 10 mins and 20 mins covering/ decluttering a specific international issue/ country issue
Hi Kriti! So happy to hear that you’re a regular viewer of Cut The Clutter!
The continuous wave of elections in Thailand must be fun.
Random thai 1: Hey, who are you voting for this year?
Random thai 2: Whichever one seems the least likely to be Coup'ed??
सर International issue discuss करते वक्त India के साथ उणके कैसे संबंध हे ??, और वहाके उथल पुथल का भारत पर प्रभाव ?? पर थोडा प्रकाश डालीये🙏
अपका बहूत आभारी हू 🙏
आपके बहुमूल्य ज्ञान के लिये धन्यवाद🙏🙏
Would be great to see a CTC on the new clarification made by the central government about FDI in digital news media and it's implications on the news media industry.
Sir, watching the Print and Study IQ will alone guarantee anyone cracking UPSC. Thanks for such great content.
Lol no
Hello Shekhar Sir! Since you’re an ardent fan of cricket, don’t you think it’s only fair to do a CTC on current IPL? The making and unmaking of teams, and the experience of cricket in pandemic?
Guys even though TH-cam says HD but the video quality still looks low quality. I wonder what is going on.
Military Coop- "Hota hain lunch ke time" :D:D
Thaksin's government enjoyed a cordial relation with Vajpayee's government.
please do a story on changes in FDI allowing only 26% Foreign investment and how it will affect news consumption
Thank you for this episode as promised. Could do an episode on the nuclear contaminated water that Japan is planning to discharge in the sea. There is a storm brewing on that issue.
Hi Deepali. Thank you for the suggestion and do keep writing in. Helps us connect better with our viewers.
Thank you. Only SG can declutter complex issues so well. There are more suggestions. The France problem, their relationship with Turkey
Also US's Africa policy under Trump, latest being the comment on Ethiopia, and how this is allowing China to get foothold there
Great Episode. India is a cultural powerhouse which influence extends to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand etc..MEA could leverage more on this
Nigeria's SAR issue is bit like similar to ours on what is happening in our state's police use of excessive power
Very well researched presentation about a country which we visit only as tourists without paying attention to the politics of the country. 👌 Thailand has good governance inspite of frequent coups. Probably it is a true Rama Rajya😊
Hi Gururaj. Thanks for writing in.
Explaining Thailand events sans comparison with Pakistan would be dull. An absorbing episode 👍🏾
It will be interesting to note: after the Civil Movement of Nigeria and Thailand end, which external nation benefits from the results..
Nigeria is a upcoming Economic nation in Africa. Thailand is recently got a dilemma in choosing funders for Kra Canal.
I almost started buying your argument that you have a centrist view of Indian politics so much so that I thought that I might have shifted my views to the centre of the right. But your yesterday's cut the clutter reassured me that I might still have a centrist view.😄 Good luck though in your quest for a centrist view. Regards
Sir talk about the economic crisis in Venezuela
A Good job is done, thank you.
Suggestions:
Content is king - which you have enough of. :-)
Editing of the video is not good, As you are reading from your notes: you are looking down [makes sesnes] - your microphones take more sounds [makes sense], but then the editing team should have removed, apologies on some instances your pitch was as comparable to Arnab.
Strangely never heard about Thailand that much. We cannot even consider this as a remote possibility in India.
Till the 24th minute, we don't know what is happening in that country.
A half hour talk on Thailand is incomplete without 5 minutes of Lisa Manoban.
Mr.gupta do a video on anarchy in Mumbai
Sir can you give a single in depth analysis on all investigating agencies, their origin , role their power and controversies.
Like CBI, IB, CID, crime branch, RAW, NIA and any more.
Most of investigation agency does not even have office in all states.
Something is seriously wrong with the video editor. Please be patient and double check the production pre release.
Yellow kurta + yellow paper combo 😁😁
Sir your videos are very informative, but I do i have one request, the quality of Audio and narrative sometimes gets me off the track, like clearing your throat and actions without dialogue, I respect you and your age but this is my genuine feedback, thank you.
Mr.... boom boom massage!
Gipta ji, you have forgotton to mention Abhisit Vejjajiva, the suave & urbane PM between Dec 2008 & 2011
India also ruled by one family for 60 long years.
While discussing international matters, please also discuss how these things affect India's interest.
Please lower the volume of the ending tune to match your voice.
I see ads of Tata Nexon nowadays. Seems like viewers are not paying enough. I have paid 1k this year and will pay again next year. I appeal fellow consumers to donate to this media house.
'Pati, patni aur Woh' is hilarious!
Military .... Strong Powerful Monarchy .... Judicial system ... Modern society Government ...so much of unusual blend 🤔
thank God! 1.5 speed is back
The best part the normal was going without any disruption even though the country has seen more than 2 dozen coups
We need a special on nigeria, it is worth an episode .
whats burning next you Mr Gupta? Saw smoke at 15:20
Sr. u have discussed about PV Narasimha Rao but never talked about the corruption alegation against him by Harshad Mehta and also that swami ji who has also featured with u in a walk the talk
Waiting and waiting and waiting and they will wait 🤣
CTC @7!!! What?
Indeed, King Rama IX shot his brother, King Rama VIII, dead and succeeded the throne!
I love you ShekharJi. I find myself watching all your videos as you provide very intelligent analysis. But I do find it tough sitting thru because of your presentation style. You have talked about this that because you being a HMT (hindi medium types) english is not primary language so you have to think in Hindi and translate it to english. But the problem is not the language but your hand gestures. I think your hand gestures are aligned with the hindi track running in your brain so it moves a few milliseconds before the english words comes out of your mouth.
That makes it bit painful to watch as a lot of times it feels like I am watching a Indian kid struggling to recite a memorized english essay in front of the classroom and struggling to get the words out smoothly. Lol Its almost as if the video and audio are out of synch and the video is moving faster than the audio.
I accept this quirk "as is" and at this age will not demand that you attempt to change your presentation or speaking style. :-)
But again love your content and am a loyal follower. Cheers.
Pak deployed AWACS !!!!!
Pls explain it sir!
Thank you to explain that it's a coincidence that you are wearing yellow otherwise I would have sent protestors to your house. 👍😂😂😂
How long did it take the Thai to build the Ram temple?
We don't need monarchies or presidents to rule over us as a status symbol. What we need is a leader who can spread the message of love and peace.
Was waiting for Nigeria
Sir please make one video explaining the process of American elections
Hi Nakul. We have a new video property called #DelhiToDC which focuses on the US presidential elections. Do check it out!
@@ThePrintIndia Thank you Sir!
Indians should be curious and concerned about Thailand, who is our Maritime neighbour (A&N islands are located bang opposite to Thai eastern coastline) like how we are about our continental neighbours.
CtC has certainly got the technical sequence of events correct .... as, prima facie, a version of facts .... and "facts" are always a version of the particular researcher ..... where it has failed is to capture the free spirit of Thailand .... particularly, comparing it to pak : a non starter
Thailand has traversed number of political upheavals .... public life has, as always, hardly been afftected .... how many countries can even say that?!
King Bhumibhol Adulyadej was a most revered and much loved monarch
Women safety is high on agenda in Thailand
Even on date, women leave work late into the night (from, say, 711s) and travel back home by themselves : SAFE
Gas stations are attended by women, during night hours : SAFE
Women dress exactly how they want without fear of leers or sexist comments ; they are asking for it etc. They are SAFE
And, to date Thailand life has not been constricted by covid lockdowns ....they are getting it right .... Thailand has a pre-existing culture of wearing masks .... mainly to protect the people around
So, CtC comparing this beautiful country to pak or even others with low womens safety and low culture, well as low quality of life, is not 'cruel', it is incorrect!
I wonder, what was that smoke beside you.
Keeping mosquitoes away.
Chakri dynasty is more than 200 years old..Rama I ascended 1782. The Thai monarchy is much much older....Also, Thailand has a permanent civil service which continues economic policies.
One thing for sure *Covid19 love Authoritarian Leaders* call them Hungary, Belarus, Russia, Thai Monarch and many more to come
Shekhar please do story about Punjab farmer agitation going on. Central govt is underplaying it, the situation here is dangerous one wrong political decision can lead to a situation of regret for this country
