India's strategic push for IMEC, INSTC & Trilateral Highway: Bridge between Atlantic & Pacific
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 04. 2024
- The union government is vigorously promoting three corridors: The Chennai-Vladivostok route to the east, the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) in the west leading to the trilateral highway in South East Asia, and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) initiative through the Arabian Peninsula. In episode 1427 of #CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta along with ThePrint's foreign affairs correspondents, Pia Krishnankutty and Keshav Padmanabhan, discusses key points of each of these corridors, the shift in geopolitics, the individual challenges and why India is at the centre of all of it.

These routes are all pipe dreams. Back in the 1500s Europeans came to India through sea route just to avoid the political Chaos and violence middle east has to offer. Reinvesting in this route will be a monument to the stupidy of man kind.

How I wish India could crack these routes and prosper the way only India can! Jai Hind.
With an Imperialistic attitude, it certainly can. With Soft Egg Attitude, it can do nothing
How about making a Bollywood movie as India likes to live in fantasies?
@@pakpatriots7299 Yes. But after event. Since Iran is planning to take South West, Afghanistan planning the North West, India has the opportunity to take all of the east and coast. But I suggest India not to take the Pakistanis. Also, it will be a great opportunity for you to move to Western Nations, like Europe or USA. I assure you that they will give you refugees status and keep you there. Then you can stay there almost forever. The Pakistani Leadership can't do anything but bloat, so better set for the west. It's a win win for all the parties.
Under-water rail tunnel from India to Dubai like the one under English channel between UK and France is the best bet. And if this tunnel dia is big enough to let double stack trains run like on Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) , that would be perfect.
@@ninthman2995 Going proximity to Pakistanis?
Since promising early uploads, Sg has never once uploaded episodes on time🤣
It is better than having incomplete or inaccurate information.
Every episode needs to be vetted by RSS, hence the delay.
@@rohanch07 Then good. Without RSS's management and Rahul Gandhi's campaigning, BJP cannot win.
Great topic! I have been looking for an in depth CTC on these 3 corridors and the impact on trade and economy for us. But I do have one suggestion. Maybe this could have been a 2 or 3 part series where the focus is on 1 corridor at a time.
This was definitely half baked. They didn't talk in detail about specific towns and ports on route each corridor. The information was generic and mostly sketchy.
That is a wonderful suggestion, Ravi...let's see what we can do about it. Thank you for watching and writing in. I'm glad you liked this episode...best wishes, Shekhar
Mumbai’s drainage system dates back to 1860. Recommendations to improve it have mostly been ignored.
So much for development 😅
All big cities or tier 1 cities around the world including mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai etc will be finished/deserted due to impending de-dollorization. Mass migration back to tier 2/3 towns and villages will happen after 2025.
U r right let’s first look at internal infra
This is avg leftie argument where they say why are we sending probes to outer space and instead should spend it in solving poverty
After 2025? That's too much @@indianmilitary
@@indianmilitary Some good shit you smoke bother. Can u pass me that.👨⚖
Brilliant episode !! Great discussion!!
Good going The Print👍
Brilliant discussion with spot-on analysis and good supporting maps. Really loved this episode! Would love to see this trio more here - a great blend of expertise and experience.
Very very optimistic (to put it mildly) given the situation in the situation in ISRAEL...
Wonderful episode..this is too big a topic to cover in one episode & its impressive how informative & well rounded it was...thank you!...excellent presentation by the team aswell...
The Trination route to South East Asia can be taken via sea from Chittagong Port to a port in Myanmar or port on the West Coast of Thailand.
The reason India is building the Land route is because China is very strong when it comes to maritime strength. So we want an alternative.
Thx
I think the most feasible one is IMEC. Don't underestimate vision and intent of MBS. Saudi is reforming rapidly and don't be surprised if MBS puts all his might to make IMEC work..!!!
Excellent presentation. Each one complementing effectively not crossing each other. Very clear presentation
Well done Mr. Shekhar! Very absorbing and informative episode!
hi shekhar & team thanks for elaborating about new international transport projects . it seems ......a dream which we dont know big fish will let it go if they dont have any interest.
Liked this story ! Deep research and nice presentation.
Shipping is the most optimal mode of transportation when long distances are involved. Changing between shipping/rail/shipping/rail multiple times is not viable. These projects do not make economic sense. They are fine to make grandiose announcements during summits and massage egos of leaders making them.
There are issues of naval piracy on sea routes. Have you been living under a rock? And you think a group of leaders are pursuing the project blindly?
Very detailed
27:23 For once, SG spoke a bare fact. In fact to deny this Geo-political advantage to India, Pakistan was created. The most important factor for one to be a transit country is - Peace in that country. Pakistan failed that test.
Your PM wanted that land corridor so bad that he put it as a pre-requisite for SAARC summit in Islamabad. Pakistan said "sure" but it has to be part of resolution of all issues between the two countries... and not through bullying. That's why there's no SAARC conference since then... due to Indian bullying.
@@pakpatriots7299
Why don't you go a step further to say "India bullied for the stoppage of SAARC meeting" ? That is the reality & sooner the better for you, to know (now Pakistan is "gid-gida`ing for opening trade relations with India).
Know the reality , Patriots!
@@pakpatriots7299 another expression of the eternal and stubborn victim mindset of Pakistan. Absence of SAARC has only made Pak weaker. No wonder their leaders are now pleading for bilateral trade with India to commence. Grow up.
@@pakpatriots7299 Looking at Pakistan and India now, who do you think needs it more? We already found a way around so we couldn't care less.
@@FloraFauna321 Their biggest problem is the inherent entitlement they feel to dictate how things run. They think they can decide when they want to trade and stop it when they feel otherwise. They somehow feel that Allah has made Pakistan so important that they can never not be the heart of global trade.
Can you please run an episode on Cut the Clutter about the protests in Ladakh by Shri Sonam Wangchuk. Why is the entire media silent about the issue? I am a paying member.
Thank you for writing in, Vivek. As it happens, we do have a reporter on the ground in Ladakh and you will soon see articles from there on our website. My colleague Snehesh Alex Philip had done an interview with Mr Wangchuk a couple of months back. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/Latd8u_IDHA/video.html

I think IMEEC is difficult to materialise now since in recent news UAE suspended diplomatic relations with Israel. 😢
How to connect Mumbai to Manipur? Nyay Yatra?
Your observations on Pakistan have been very prudent.
One of the best CTCs. Great data, slides and analysis. By the way, even if one can get by road into Pakistan if hypothetically Pakistan was stable, the problem extends into Afghanistan as well. Can we even trust the security of these routes going through countries like Iran or Myanmar?
The difference between Afghanistan and Pakistan is that Afghan Taliban isn't delusional enough to actively engage in cross border terrorism against a 21st Century India. They don't attempt it not because they have given up on the Caliphate, but because they understand that cannot win and it will be a disastrous battle for them.
Shekarji, when are you starting Off the Cuff? You should invite Deepak Parekh again.
India is a beacon of hope for entire world. For most of Human history India was number one GDP. Last 200 years are exception. India will regain number one GDP in later half of this century.
Ha Ha
Entire world is actually scared seeing india becoming a dictatorship, media is compromised so I am not surprised that you think otherwise, face is FDI is lowest its ever been
Namaste sir
A very good format.CTC should now be presented like this only.
It will also be helpful if there is a broad standardisation of presentation styles by The Print which can, in a way become its brand.
Thereafter all participants should be given a basic training on how to participate in video talk shows accordingly.
So Instc is kind of operational. By what route is Russia sending its oil these past 2 years? What is a dry run? If INSTC is to be discussed in SCO, I doubt Pakistan would remain excluded from it
Shekhar Gupta Ji , All is " Just Dreaming in Day Light "
"Competitive cussedness"!! This is brilliant, maybe even better than rectocranial inversion.
time immemorial it is
Im here just for pia..
Tomorrow CTC on guardian article
Brilliant discussion.
Good to see Shekher's clear opinions on Pakistan. He is not holding anything back. Ha ha
But what are we going to export 😅
This is missing basic essence of he whole thing.. 1) why is this even needed? Wgqt is the exact leverage being sought 2) who is the investor in it majorly and ehat is the stake and reward involved, 3) what dose it finally aim to achieve ober and above minor mechanical details
#Answer on IIT question=> 75% IIT jobs come from MNC, headquarter outside India.. Job decline for IITians proves ->
1. #International market is soo down..
2. #Engineering Degree is old fashion now, they must change the course, example include - AI learning, Data science, Semiconductor (Hardware/Software), Blockchain
Ab sabko specific specialization chaye.. ye Generic courses like Mech, CS, IT, Civil, ET bahut ho gya.. sab outdated
Trilateral highway is more likely to be functional in few years, instc is dead for now due to Iran, Russia, IMEC will only become reality if Saudi normalise their relation with Israel which is difficult in current Gaza scenario but i expect it will pick momentum once war is over
I think SG can give more space to co-host.. Pakistan is his favorite one which drive the last 10-15 minutes
Mr Shekhar kapoor reputation dented alot after Druv video
... Kuddhos dhruv
It seems SG is very shy of using word 'Mankind' instead he uses 'HumanKind', looks like he does not want to offend woke folk 🙃
or maybe he's a woke folk
Please explain what is woke.
Most of the information given is sketchy and lacks detail. Each corridor must be discussed in detail in separate episodes.
That said, there are other corridors under planning by India. There was no mention of those even in passing.
Guys, please update Adani's pic, it's funny!
Interesting accent.
Nice stories. If there has to be a link between Eastern & the two western corridors, shouldn't Bangladesh be a partner in the East
Bangladesh mostly borders only India except for a tiny coastal border with Myanmar. It's more viable for India to use its own land than use some other country where it doesn't have control over. Moreover, this international route, if functional, will act as a barrier for the Chinese who are looking to cut off Eastern India via the Chicken's neck.
India-bangadesh-myanmar-china corridor
Couldn't IMEC become 3i that is India-Israel-Italy? Mumbai to Eilat by sea. Eilat to Haifa (both within Isreal) by dedicated port to port rail corridor. Then Haifa Isreal to Trieste Italy which is well connected by Rail to all major European countries
Through IMEC they want to bypass the Red Sea and Gulf Aden, which are hotspots for piracy.
Modi ha to mumkin hai ❤
Lol! It's funny seeing Coupta using the word human kind. Looks like he got ultimatum from a 3 lettered agency in the US saying him to use their prescribed vocabulary
The P Consultant is heavily accented and mostly confusing...
only shekhar gupta is speaking..instead of expert of international relations
Who says " Indian vested intrests" are you on Chinese payroll?
India is a country. All countries have vested interest. This is why we are not outright blaming Russia and Israel for what is happening in their part of the world. You cannot be an adult with that 'holier than thou' attitude. What are you in? 5th grade?
For the first time, first to watch a cuttheclutter.
Keep 👀 Enjoying
Why Mumbai, India has largest/deepest container transhipment terminal in TRIVANDRUM, development only means Mumbai ?
It is being built by adani in vizhinjam and is being promoted by communist ldf (reality us stranger than fiction) but as I kbow, it is yet to be completed.... ultimately, irrespective of how much they talk about castro and guevara, the "communist" cartel of kerala ldf ultumately have to rely on capitalist overlord (kuttaka muthalali) adani for the developement of their debt ridden state...
Its being built in Kerala. Communists are supporting but Congress is opposing saying fishermen will be affected.
Boats can go to both thiruvanathapurm and depart india Mumbai - this is quite normal in the Indian shipping network
In last minute it will be 3 ports. Mundra(Adani), Mumbai and Trivandrum 😅
how toolkits NGO's made hue & cry on construction of Vizhinjam port so how do u xpect investments BTW kerala is in financial crisis officially told by govt its fact bcoz they r busy in appeasement & freebies so how do u xpect investments when there is no friendly business environment 🤣🤣
Good story, save Kesav Padmanabhan's weird accent. But it thankfully wore off as podcast progressed.
Interesting, Armenia any day
Saudi has the money and incentive! They can build the rail line!
By bringing Pakistan into the conversation this video went from being good to being stupid
Why does keshav twist his tounge to get a typical borrowed unnatural english accent? It doesnt match his body language or his intellect (as understood hearing him).
Why the fake accents. Especially the guy. otherwise SG rocks
In an otherwise purely geopolitical theme, Shekhar had to get in Babri structure reference!! Old sickukar habits die hard, it seems!!!
Modi and Shah🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
War rukwa di Papa
Saudi have Chinese built High Speed railways already as per my knowledge.
Humble suggestion that if views are to be increased episodes should more be about pure political topics, day to day politics like Lok Sabha election etc. I understand its CTC hence off beat and complex topics are taken, but such topics may garner less views. Also episode may be uploaded around 9-10-11 PM.
Shekar has deliberately diverted from speaking about politics, don't know where u stand now. What you are discussing is reĺevant but sounds so aloof and impersonal,it doesn't quinch our thirst hope you^ve nothing to hide
While INDI alliance curses Ambani, Adani day and night; they are busy in nation building by acquiring strategic ports for India. We should be proud of our homegrown entrepreuners. While Modi government is busy working for inclusive development by building roads, bridges, airports, smart cities....INDI alliance is talking about caste census, freebies, unispired vision and policy. Humble request to all to use their votes wisely. It is clear who is working for India and who is working to fill their own pockets.
Adani working for nation LOL!
1- Buying cheap coal and selling to the government at double rate.
2- Evading taxes by making multiple shell companies in tax havens.
3- These MOUs were signed with Adani as GOI explicitly said to their counterparts (privatized profits and public loss)
Read income inequality in India! Present GOI is only widening it, at least read facts before typing! Yes present GOI is doing well on Infra but only few crony have tasted fruit of this development. Smart City is a joke so please don't mention it!
BJP is providing maximum freebies, see the data. Compares states run by multiple parties before commenting.
Pandya Ji aap business hi karte rah gye thoda whatsapp see bahar aa kar newspaper and books bhi pad lo :P
Which is the smart city built? Please inform.
@@mg.f.9023 Indian government had selected 100 cities to turn them into smart cities. Creating smart cities doesn’t mean building them from ground zero. Look at the smart cities mission by Indian government. There are cities from every state of India. Almost all the work is done. A simple Google search will dispel your ignorance. Names include Agra, Bhopal, Indore, Madurai, Pune, Ahmedabad etc etc. Look it up.
@@sajanpandya3297
China has in last 25 years built 7 New Cities for ground Zero.
@@mg.f.9023 China also doesn’t allow any protests against any government infrastructure building, highly controls press, has one party system, fudges numbers. What is your point?? Compare apples to apples.

Anti national print
This whole vlog looks like a message to Pakistani establishment as the panelists grudgingly accepted land route is better is in the case of India-Mynama-Thailand.
Even before Gaza war, IMEC was DOA (Dead On Arrival) as you've to first load ships then unload and put on railway cars then back to ships and again on rail in Greece. Why not keep on using Suez like now?
Remember during one of those Indo-Pak spats, India first closed its airspace to Pakistani flights assuming being larger country it will make more impact. On the contrary, it was India which was major loser as majority of flights are towards the west (I think both countries should close the air space again. LOL).
In reality, India will gain A LOT if it changes its bullying attitude for its neighbors.
On the contrary who is begging for trade with India. Nepal has open borders, Bangladesh has bimstec arrange and bilateral, srilanka has fta, Afghanistan has joined chabahar, Maldives will follow suit later by reversing stand...
So only one neighbor is left out and India doesn't care
@pakpatriots7299 Pakistan has been delusional from its very creation. It's only identity is anti India. And in the process is on the sure road to self destruction. Wake up
@@mylord3003 It seems you have attended too many of the BJP election rallies!!! Time to wake up... Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka have "liberated" themselves from N@zi Germany... sorry Indian influence. If you can recall, BD under Haseena has already signed 97% tax exemption on exports with China. So, if BD has to make selection between India and China, you can imagine where BD will stand.
Keep on drinking the Kool Aid. LOL
@@pakpatriots7299oh bhai, sovereign nations are free to relate with anybody. India doesn't stand in their way. It is not they have severed ties with India. India saved srilanka from inflation. Go update yourself on Maldives.
