  1.  @rickmartin9420  - give me a break. Without India's participation in the war, the Brits would have been hopeless. Look at the number of Victoria Crosses awarded to Indians. I come from a long line of Gurkhas, and the Brits got plenty of mileage out of us and the blood we shed for them.

  9. DW News is supposed to be German, is it not? So why do they have some Indian Leftist masquerading as a German news reporter? This Indian Leftist is only interested in peddling his hard-Left politics, and not in conducting an impartial interview. This guy isn't German - he's an Indian Left-wing activist masquerading as "international foreign media". He seems to be some commie from Calcutta, trying to lecture Indians from a foreign pedestal. It looks absurd.

  10. When it comes to Nixon's tilt toward China which lasted 40 years, Indians didn't love that. US has pendulum policy on democracy -- they pretend to love democracy in Western Europe, but then they leaned heavily towards dictatorships like Pakistan and China for decades. Taiwan, HongKong, SouthKorea were dictatorships for decades with little to no representation for their people - but US had no problems with that. When Brits had to leave HongKong -- then only they suddenly introduced democracy and called it sacred. What did the US do to the indigenous population of Diego Garcia, located near India? Why was the elected govt of Imran Khan in Pakistan overthrown in a coup right after Pakistan's army chief was called to Washington to meet with Victoria Nuland? Care to answer, smart guy? I know I'll only hear the sound of silence from you.

  11. @1:54 - Pakistan is not a democracy - Pakistan is controlled by a shadowy praetorian military behind the scenes. That military has rigged elections to install their preferred people as civilian political leaders.

  14. Was Yanuckovitch govt free and sovereign? Apparently not, according to NeoCon Nuland. Was Iraq govt free and sovereign? Apparently not, according to same Neocon regime-changers. Was Libya govt free and sovereign? Again, NeoCon Nuland was also involved in toppling that regime and replacing it with chaos and destruction. But thanks for not asking.

  23. It seems like the Indian Left are redistributing themselves under foreign media banners to call themselves "international media". Neither of these 2 "journalists" look very international to me - they look like Urban Naxals. @2:26 Notice her gratuitous use of the phrase "Hindu nationalist govt" instead of just saying "govt".

  25. @23:00 - mentioning Reporteurs Sans Frontieres -- seriously? They ranked India 10 places behind Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. That's absurd, and calls into question the basic integrity and objectivity of the report.

  26. Superpower is a loaded word - India can achieve faster growth now at 7-8% compared to its traditional 2% under decades of Congress Party rule. The late Narasimha Rao was the only economic reformer in the Congress Party, and it's no coincidence that he's the most hated by that party today. The Congress Party exists to preserve the interests of the Nehru-Gandhi family and its pyramid of cronyism. Economic reformers like Narendra Modi have their work cut out for them, but there's an increased optimism that he can make headway in loosening India's knot and breaking the logjam.

  28. Imran Khan is all fluff and no substance. Modi is a democratically elected prime minister, while Imran Khan is basically a puppet who was selected by the military as they rigged the election to help him win, after they ousted his predecessor from office. Modi may not speak english as fluently as Imran, since the latter got a seat at Oxford through his family connections, but I find Modi to be more authentic and having better leadership capabilities.

  30. As an Indian, I'll forthrightly say that China's space program is much ahead of India's. China launched its first astronauts to orbit 2 decades ago. India will get this done by 2025. China has already built/operated its first space station, and is moving on to their next generation of space station. China has already landed 2 rovers on the Moon, and 1 rover on Mars, as well as returning lunar rock samples from the Moon back to Earth. China also has multiple private sector launch companies, some of which are now launching customer payloads to orbit. China has even demonstrated a quantum encryption communication network via satellite. So if there's a space race happening, it would be a race between USA and China, not anybody else. India is in a second tier, along with Japan's JAXA and ESA.

  33. Main reason to look for another job is that war is going to end soon, since OoKrayEenas are collapsing. No troops left means no more war. Zelensky doesn't have to pay any political flunkies, since his outlawing all other politicians means no politics to be done. Dictator has no mandate. He'd lose to Zaluzhny anyway.

  37. The interviewer and guest seem to mainly be shilling for the opposition Congress Part in India, trying to steer the topic towards whether the govt has been capitulative toward China. Given that it's a centre-right govt, they're being far more assertive toward China than the left-wing opposition would have been. More pertinent questions should have been asked, like will the current situation then push India into joining the Quad alliance with the USA, Japan, and Australia? That's a topic that the left-leaning interviewer and guest would rather not deal with, as it doesn't suit their left-leaning politics.

  40. ​ @Kevin - the difference is that India's been feeding itself for generations, while Pakistan's been living off foreign bailouts for generations. It's become a lifestyle for them, and they can't live without it. When India's PM goes to UN, he talks about development, about improving institutions, about international cooperation, etc. When Pakistan's PM goes to the UN, he just screeches at India in front of everyone. That's why Pakistan is starving. Pakistan has squandered its entire existence on irredentism and revanchism. Stop equivocating.

  41. Guy was hiding in the bushes poking an AK47 with a sniper scope through the perimeter fence, only a few hundred yards away from Trump, one hole away. He also had bags filled with ceramic plates hanging on the fence, as a shield against potential incoming fire. Is that convincing enough for you? If not, then you're saying something about yourself.

India produced far more Nobel prize-winners and other international academics far earlier than your country ever did. That's why we have our own GPS satellite system and can send spacecraft to Mars, while all you can do is strap on suicide vests hoping to reach your virgins in heaven.

  47. :face-blue-covering-eyes:Her explanation is nonsense and shows complete ignorance. The purpose of SpaDex mission and space docking in general is not to merely assemble smaller satellites into bigger ones. The purpose is to demonstrate the technology/capability for docking a space capsule to a space station in the future. Docking can also be used to effect repairs on a satellite, or carry out replenishment of its consumables. Also, the Chandrayaan-4 lunar sample return mission will use multiple spacecraft to carry out the sample return, requiring them to dock together along the way, passing the sample along like a baton. These are the types of applications that space docking is used for. Also, satellites don't need to dock to "transfer information" -- that can be done wirelessly.

  50. @Lily Shanti YOU'RE LYING AGAIN. Every existing citizen is treated equally under the law, and this bill doesn't change that. This bill applies to persecuted people who are not already citizens, and does not affect those who are already citizens. You seem to be trying to deliberately deceive everyone on what's going on. YOU'RE PREDATORY LIAR.

  51.  @NijarMahruz-j6b  - That's still not the same as experience in governance. He knows it, and that's why he intends to step down in a few months. He knows he can't provide govt jobs to all the students. Bangladesh already had high economic growth.

  52. West Berlin was never regarded by the Soviet Union as Soviet territory. It may have been a strategically important city, but it was never seen by the Soviet Union as its own national territory. Taiwan, on the other hand, is seen by Beijing as China's own home territory which it seeks to repatriate. :cat-orange-whistling: Xi has more political power at home than Khruschev ever did, and he is firmly in charge. He has staked his own prestige on regaining Taiwan.

  55.  @zacnewman7140  - "their nukes" - they had none, those were Soviet nukes. How come they haven't built anything so far? Should've been able to do it in the past couple of years, if they're so technical. I don't think the Azov knuckle-draggers would be hesitating to use them on the untermenschen.

  62. This guy doesn't look German. Isn't this just Indian news people wearing a Deutsche-Welle label? Ajai Shukla, who is known to be affiliated with the opposition Congress Party, is basically echoing their line that the ruling govt in New Delhi isn't firmly opposing the Chinese even in statements. So his spin is that if India even acknowledges differences of opinion between the 2 countries, that this amounts to capitulation. It's hard to see how that would objectively be true. China has long had its own perceptions, and furthermore has had a track record of discarding previous agreements when it found the moment opportune to do so.

  70.  @Scapestoat  - there was no such thing as Ukraine - it was always just the Borderlands of Poland and Russia. Name Ukraine means Borderlands, and this is how Poland and Russia used to refer to their respective portions. Washington warmongers have helped the Polish portion of the Borderlands impose their control over the Russian portion. Those Washington warmongers can't even hope to hold onto power in Washington, let alone hold onto lands that are on the other side of the Atlantic. They are fighting too many battles on too many fronts, having even brought Moscow and Beijing together. It's all absurd, of course. The senility patient in the Oval Office looks even more corrupt than Woodrow Wilson, which is saying a lot.

  76. @Lily Shanti don't try to hide behind weasel words. What you want is for those trapped under persecution to continue to be trapped and persecuted. Pakistan is oppressing those people, who were victims of partition. That partition was abetted by the Congress Party, thus condemning those people to live trapped under Pakistan's persecution. Those people are owed protection from that persecution, and those like you who want to see them persecuted deserve to be thrown into Pakistan to suffer in their place. Because you are a supporter of persecution, you deserve to experience it firsthand.

  80. Hospital bombing looks to be false flag attack timed to coincide with Modi's visit. That's all Zelensky could stage on such short notice. As Zelensky's dictatorship continues to plunge to new lows, he'll eventually face a reckoning at the hands of the Ukrainian people whom he's led into this abyss. DW mentions Putin being internationally wanted for war crimes - never any mention of Netanyahu being wanted for the same. I guess support for ICC seems to wax and wane depending on who it puts in the crosshairs.

  81. China may be backing this "people power" movement. China wants to install a pro-Beijing govt in Thailand, to get a canal built through the Thai peninsula. This would enable China to bypass the Straits of Malacca, which is a strategic chokepoint that hems China in.

  83. If I were Putin, I would withdraw from all nuclear test ban treaties, and begin testing nukes on home soil. Then I would start testing them on home soil near the border with Ukraine. Especially tactical nukes. And then if F16s or other missiles were to cross into Russian home territory, nuclear airbursts could be used to stop them at the border. Finally, protection should be extended to areas subjected to ethnic cleansing by Ukrainian forces, like Donetsk and Luhansk, so that any firing on them would result in nuclear response.

  86. @8:26 - Yanuckovitch was overthrown by force. It's absolute hypocrisy to declare the Maidan coup in 2014 to be "democracy" while declaring the Jan 6 2021 protests in Washington DC to be "insurrection". Hypocrisy and double standards just aren't sustainable. Altering US voting laws while falsely screeching allegations of "Jim Crow" won't be enough to sustain Washington's crooked imperialist racket. NATO is living on borrowed time. @15:31 - Did Biden really call Putin a killer? Or didn't hired media shill George Stephanopoulos just insert words into a feeble Biden's mouth, as if he was an empty vessel? Looked like the latter to me, frankly speaking. That stunt itself was done to shift the headlines away from the stern rebuke China gave to Biden's Secretary of State Blinken in Alaska by questioning the legitimacy of Biden's own govt, after Blinken tried to mouth the usual human rights line against Beijing.

  87. US ran away from Afghanistan so that it could run towards its preferred war with Russia. Guess who got left holding the bag from that pants-around-ankles withdrawal? Today, yet again like so many other times, another Indian was killed in a terrorist attack -- shot by an American M4 carbine. Guess where those weapons came from? And then you have the nerve to spit on us? Talk about adding insult to injury.

  89. Evan Dyer is lying - or at least distorting and misleading. Canada has provided no evidence, only allegations. Its media have likewise only parroted those allegations. Dyer is deceptively citing the evidence from the US case in support of Canada's allegations - which only reinforces that Canada has no evidence to present in support of its own allegations. The best thing at this point is to make all evidence public and rely on the court of public opinion. But Canada can't do that, since it has no evidence to prove its allegations.

  91. ​ @the Chuck Rast Channel - China were the main backers of the Khmer Rouge (Pol Pot's own name was given to him by his Chinese handlers). The US pulled out of Cambodia quick, to facilitate the Chinese Khmer Rouge takeover. Since the Chinese wanted to keep a firm grip on the place, they just had their man Pol Pot massacre the population. The Khmer Rouge started their massacres first against ethnic Vietnamese inside Cambodia, in order to contain/counter the influence of Vietnam, which had just claimed victory in their war against the USA. When the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia in response to the massacres, both China and USA collaborated to give the Vietnamese their own Vietnam. That's what really prevented the feared Domino Effect from happening. Similar tactics wouldn't be possible following the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, since there exists no KhmerRouge-type counterforce against Taliban.

  123.  @Bradymcbridhe8304  - bullied? Presenting evidence for accusations is itself basic rule of law. Otherwise what laws are you upholding? Laws of conviction without proof? They've already applied punishment in the form of expelling diplomats (by publicly expelling a diplomat on those grounds, they are marked for life, because now the Khalistani terrorists will know about that person and target them)

  127.  @Cyclist-o6e  - changing Florida gun laws won't prevent would-be shooters from buying them in other states. So then you'll argue for nation-wide stringency. But people will just bring them in from neighboring countries, like they do with Fentanyl. So where does your reach stop?

  128.  @mhp449  - Bangladesh has experienced its best economic growth since 2009 uptil now, with unprecedented economic expansion in that period.

  129. NeoCons like Nuland are imperialists. Europeans claimed to be appalled by what NeoCons did to Iraq. But here they are, now suddenly embracing them, in spite of the chaos they've brought to Europe.

  130. Europeans were never going to show up for war with China anyway. They quickly bailed out of Afghanistan because they couldn't go the distance. They only expect others to die for them, not the other way around.

  131. Ohh - of course -- because sweet saintly Ukraine govt would NEVER do anything to its beloved Russian pal during wartime. How silly of anyone to imagine this! 🙄 The fact that Americans and western media are loudly screaming "ISIS did it!" even before anybody was arrested, is not suspicious at all. Just like when Washington and western media claim Russia blew up its own pipeline, it's just so logical and reasonable. Of courrrrrse. 🙄

  133.  @davoROC  - ever heard of Bay of Pigs? What about Gulf of Tonkin? That alliance has only succeeded in reviving the Cold War, its raison-d'etre, because it was not responsibly dissolved when USSR and Warsaw Pact were. NATO has created a self-fulfilling prophecy.
    1
  134. US goading Putin into attacking Ukraine to avoid a 1700 km NATO border in south, instantly getting a 1300 km NATO border in north. US clearly laid the groundwork for all of this. It will only result in more nuclear weapons being pointed at Finland & Sweden. Security is achieved by mutual security on both sides, not by making one side insecure -- and by this I mean Russia should not be made insecure. I cannot include Ukraine on that, because Ukraine under Poroshenko was massacring ethnic Russians through bombardments on Russian ethnic enclaves, well before Putin invaded. And US installed Poroshenko. Finland & Sweden have no justification in feeling insecure from Russia's policing action against Kyiv's massacres in Donbass -- unless of course Finland & Sweden are in support of such massacres, which their one-sided rhetoric seems to imply they are.

  137. Khalistanis are pure communal fanatics, and want support from Pakistan. Pakistan is their ally in communalism. Meanwhile, Pakistan doesn't give a damn about Sikhs, and only hopes to use them to set Punjab and Kashmir on fire, like in 1980s. Pakistan knows the route to Kashmir runs through Punjab, and it's only by using Khalistanis that ISI was able to set Kashmir ablaze. They hope to repeat this again.

  144. I don't know why communalists like you drag India's name into everything. Whatever situation Bangladeshis have created is up to them to resolve. Indians always hold free and fair elections, and respect their election results. We don't want to imitate junglees nextdoor who can't live by law & order, and burn & loot minorities. In India, minorities vote for whichever parties they want, and nobody kills them for it. That's very different than Bangladesh.

  161. Indians have an exaggerated sense of soft-power. Because they watch a lot of their own movies, they think everybody else does too. Soft-power is overly played up by those who lack hard power, both economic & military. Soft power is what Indians talk about having, due to not having anything else to claim as theirs.

  163.  @zacnewman7140  - Zelensky cares nothing about treaty obligations - he's already admitted to Der Spiegel that they were just waiting to violate Minsk Treaty while re-arming. The overthrow of the legitimately elected Yanuckovitch govt was a violation of guarantees to Ukraine's security and of its constitution. The arrest of political opposition leaders and the shutdown of their political expression was not guaranteeing their security. Integration of ethno-fascists into Ukraine's military was not guaranteeing anyone's security. Forced conscription of even those who have fled the territory of Ukraine does not amount to guaranteeing anyone's security. Basically you're arguing that guaranteeing Zelensky's regime equals guaranteeing Ukraine. That's rubbish, of course.

  164.  @hackbaba999  - oh surrrrre, and search up breadbasket of USSR. Reality is that most farmers don't come from your elite breadbasket. Your Jatts don't represent even a tiny fraction of the country's population. Their use of religious symbols in their protest showed their predatory communal agenda. Why were they bringing Sikh flag to protests, when it's got nothing to do with farming or most farmers?

  167. this is hilarious - but true - Tannyboek, Poroshenko with their ethnic cleansing attacks on Russians, and Zelensky with his threats to join NATO to hold a knife to Russia's throat NATO is going to have to be ended, as it's outlived its useful life, and has only become an instigator for war

  170. True -- and we need to remind Vote Bank of this, next time they feel tempted to vote for US stooges in the Congress Party
    1
  171.  adolft_official  - during elections, US Ambassador & diplomats were in non-stop contact with Congress Party & Leftists (America's stooges). Congis & Leftists will sell even their own mothers to get power for themselves. This is why nationalist ideology is important, to put nation above petty selfish self-interests.
    1
  172.  adolft_official  - no, that's a 100% lie - it's absolutely the Congress Party & Left who are with USA, because they want US support in toppling Modi. US doesn't like Modi, because he pursues Indian interests even if it clashes with USA. Congress are happy to sell out to USA to get their support. Look at how US media speak of Congress vs Modi. The reality is obvious.

  173.  @ToneyCrimson  - the purpose of NATO is now to simply fight Russia for any imaginable reason, and not to defend each other
    1
  174.  @monumentaltravel3745  - so you say only Russia should not be in UN, but have nothing to say about China? Newsflash: most countries in UN are not European, and don't revolve around your petty European feuds which you conflate as life-and-death for the world.

  180.  @davidmoss2576  - if the Solomons could come to host a Chinese naval base, they'll be able to flank Australia from its northeastern side, and potentially even cut off Australia from the US. Recognize China currently has the world's largest navy in number of ships, and is trending to have the world's most powerful navy in the next couple of decades. China's newfound interest in the Solomons is certainly in response to AUKUS.

  183. Germany couldn't even stand up for its own energy security, which was blown up right under its nose by its conqueror-master. At least Modi stands up for Indian energy security and energy choices, to help buffer the ordinary consumer from price shocks. That's why the West are hating on him. Goodness knows the US never consults with anyone before starting its wars. They just leave others to suffer the follow-on effects. Germans have had their spine pulled out of them, and that's why they're forced to just go along with everything, no matter how bad it is for them and their future.

  187.  @johnwickk9726  - I don't believe you, or that you want to solve any problems for Indians. I think Modi has done a far better job than any of the alternatives. Which political leader do you prefer? Oh, that's right - you have nobody - because you stand for nothing and nobody except yourself.

  190. Germany's perennial warmonger lobby once again finds itself ready for conflict with the United States, over Germany's need to fight wars in Europe. German leadership's lust for war, which it insists is necessary to right past wrongs, will only take it into wars it is doomed to lose.

  193. Better lesson for Poland to learn is to avoid visits from Victoria Nuland - especially if you're close to having an election. Another lesson is to avoid electing leaders to Poroshenko and Zelensky.

  196. ​ @Dominik Forstner - Ukraine is a heterogenous place. Kyiv clearly does not represent the whole country. That should be obvious.

  204. Withdrawal to where? Withdrawal to Europe, whom USA has crippled economically by destroying its energy supplies? Withdrawal to USA, where senile ByeDone is raising taxes and squeezing businesses with high inflation and high interest rates? What is ByeDone's domestic economic plan again? Does he even care? He never seems to even answer questions from the press and walks away while his handlers tell everyone to get lost. US economy was great under Trump.

  207. Oh, and only your needs matter in order to satisfy morality -- basic needs and existence of others doesn't matter. Westerners may be feeling pain from higher energy prices due to this war -- but 3rd world are feeling excruciating pain from high prices for energy and food.

  211. ​ @Michael Dunham - Bin Laden may be dead, but AlQaeda still exists - and now there's ISIS too. It's quite possible that they and others could set up shop in Afghanistan to resume international terror activities. This could revive the threat of more 9-11 style attacks. Pakistan is the main backer of Taliban, and needs to be held accountable should any further major terror attacks happen.
    1
  212. ​ @Leonardo Horton - India has no land route into Afghanistan. But the Taliban are really just fronting for Pakistan anyway. Pakistan wants to use the Taliban to take over Afghanistan, so that Pakistan can transfer terrorist training camps from its own soil onto Taliban-controlled soil. Those terror camps can then be used to carry out attacks against India. In order to deploy more forces into Afghanistan to reinforce Taliban, the Pakistanis have sought to reduce their forces on the border with India through peace talks.

  213. Then Biden blew up all that gas - pretending this only impacted Russia.

  214. ​ @MontainLover - Pakistani rulers are making fun of the poor people. There is plenty of money in Pakistan - but those who control it are spending on the wrong things, instead of spending on the poor. Those in charge of Pakistan should be thrown out, so that others can be put in charge who will meet the needs of the poor. The solutions are obvious, but you just choose to look away from them.
    1
  215. ​ @MontainLover - you are busy mocking Abhinandan when your own poor are starving. Shameful. This is why there are so many poor, starving people in Pakistan whose needs aren't being met. It's because you and your rulers are too busy behaving like wayward schoolchildren and taunting others instead of practicing responsible governance.
