India is the India of Asia. Not Switzerland, not anything else. India is unique in its approach and we'd like to keep it that way.
India = Switzerland? Delirium tremis.

I think as an Indian, India's strategy in geo political stage is pretty reflective of what most Indians want. "Live and let live". We don't wanna be so weak that others can kick us around, we also don't wanna invade, or take over others. We just wanna live and prosper.
Under rated comment
Except when it comes to Pakistan and Muslims in general
@@_Aarim bro i don't know which india you are talking about muslim make up 14% of india's population. they are very important for us. infact india is an example of how a country can accommodate so many people of different religion, societies and background without any major conflict.🙂🙂
@@_Aarim the chuslim radicals and porkistanis attack India first, their entire mindset runs on religion and jihad and what not
yet, still India has prominent Muslim celebs, politicians, scientists, even presidents...
but Pakistan? and other Islamic nations ? do they have any Hindu leader yet ?
lemme tell you this
India had 80% Hindus during partition and roughly 15% muslims
now it is 75% Hindus and 20% Muslims
but Porkistan?
well, in their early days, they had 80-90% Muslims and 10-20% Hindus
now? well well... below 1% Hindus, and 98% Chuslims
wanna cry? we all know what this religion, and especially this terrorist nation of Pakistan does
India is still capable to lower down ISLAMIC RADICALISATION and promote HARMONY
Porkistans IMF begging bailout package costs 7 billion dollars
while India's Kashmir already has a budget of 14 billion dollars
they cry in the OIC and in the UNSC about Kashmir, what the hell did they do for Kashmir?
they dont even know the origin of the word Kashmir (the place where Rishi Kashyap did his meditations and preachings)
also, UAE and Saudi, especially UAE, is spending billions into Kashmir for making malls, that too the biggest malls of Asia, using the same company which built Burj Khalifa
and Porkistan is busy running here and there in order to get bailout packages, and its a filthy place filled with jihadi terrorist radicals (includes 99% of their CIVILIANS, yes, the mindset of Jihad over progress is there in their brains), and its a place where people these days are dying in stampedes, when they run to grab free food in the stalls, coz even wheat is costly there
while G7 countries will go into RECESSION
India has 0% chances of recession
most Muslims in India are alright, although the pakistan loving jihad loving chuslims are still around 40% of the population (who will wanna live in filthiest conditions, praying all day in a mosque, also shown in the video, but they will never wanna go to a SCHOOL and study, instead they destroy SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, TRAINS, CARS, ROADS, etc to show hatred for so called HINDU KAFIRS)
still India is hosting them
study well, education is the key, Indians, especially Hindus, dont care about religion, we wanna study and earn money first, and thats why the liberal population (cities, and now even some rural places), with proper acknowledgement of our culture and diversity, which has mostly Hindus, and also around a few muslims, are progressing
but most rural areas (with hindu populations) are also progressing
why is muslim population areas not progressing? well its not that we discriminate, but its due to the jihadist mindset of Islam... people in 4-5 states literally stone pelted on VANDE BHARAT EXPRESS TRAIN, why? 100% due to India hatred
Hindus still give all access to people here irrespective of their faiths, but the later (Muslims, and also Christians) love to play victim card, whereas they are the oppressors
this is the harsh truth
Saudi, UAE, Egypt, etc have got the lessons and now they are changing for the better
and no wonders, India, and even the entire world, is doing trade with them
only by coexisting can a country progress, the former (Hindus) do it well, but the later? not so much... where the hell do you see Indians harassing Muslims anyways? i never see them, those who do are dealt with in the courts...

Interesting take but hard to agree that India is anything like Switzerland. India is way too influential, way more strategic, and way more of a military power to be considered neutral in the way the Swiss are. That along with two nuclear armed rivals next door, it's hardly a case for neutrality. India's non-alignment is a well crafted strategy that has always been drafted with one eye on countering those same two threats if or when they find themselves in that position. India's military also take a way more aggressive approach against rivals as seen in their recent raids on both Pakistani and Chinese administered territories. As a Pakistani, I feel like India's strategy is way more effective and intelligent than the Swiss, where they have truly cemented themselves as a true global power politically, economically, and militarily very intentionally and skillfully. Comparing it to Swiss neutrality almost undermines that a little bit.
Dude you shouldn't be the one talking about military power and aggression. Pakistani military is equivalent to dictatorship.
@@memelelo3641 abe chutiye, he is praising india, and yes India not a bunny like swiss, if need be, Indian Army can face anyone, though there is no need to because no one except Pakistan is foolish enough to do so.

I don’t think India is trying to become Switzerland of Asia , it’s just trying to mind its own business. The difference stems from inherent nature of response to a situation. If another nation is growing economically- India sees it as a competitor and not as a threat. For a long time economic progress of both Pakistan and Bangladesh was better than India. India never tried to destabilise them but rather compete with them and in certain areas even collaborated with them. India is still trying to compete economically with China which reflects in their government policies. Therefore there is room for friendship between competitors not between enemies.
This one of the most sensible comments in this entire comments section.

It's a charade. Even Russia doesn't want India in security council, that would lessen leverage that Russia has on India in security council. They all know that China is going to veto against it, so it's always safe to support India's candidacy

This is a really well made video. U have earned my like, all the events are extremely well documented and summarised. I have never been more proud as an indian as I am today :)
I'm an Indian recently moved to US. Honestly I'm regretting. Bcoz same job opportunity, higher income, low taxes and cheap commodities I already had in India. India is improving a lot in terms of wealth and infrastructure. Crime rate is lower than US in India. Lot of jobs and technologies are evolving in India. Even a smallest vendor in Indian village uses at least mobile wallet, debit card, smartphone and whatsapp. That type of awareness regarding technology and banking we had. In US all look confused when I say mobile wallet. My cruiser motorcycle had insurance just $50 per year. Insurances, health care are cheap and with great quality. No Indian should leave India.
That don't mean nothing lmao. I moved to USA and i am enjoying every second of it. FAR Better infrastructure, good air and atmosphere, lot's of open space, more activities to do, all around a better lifestyle than India can ever offer. Worked as a software engineer in india with a package of 18 lpa for 2 years but eventually decided to quit and pursue my masters in the USA and now i am making a really good amount of money all while working with really smart people. Unlike in india where you work with mostly untalented flock of people cuz the universities are busy churning out low quality undergrads. Also the OVERPOPULATION. Why would someone want to live in a country where you're surrounded by tons of people at all times and there's poverty almost everywhere ? Also india's infrastructure is nowhere close to what USA has to offer.
at this point there will be back migration IMO, get good work experience, save up some money, get good education in US then go back to India
@@3haAD900 best idea. Some idiots who are freshers don't know anything. In India I was working for half of decade then moved USA so I can see difference. We need to free ourselves from slavery mentality 1st. Our India has great potential great opportunities and even good people.

@@Homer-OJ-Simpson it's not so simple in this case, as india has something like a non agression rule in their constitution. Thus india cannot attack any other country or send their military to another country, they can only use their military as defence. I bet there are some loopholes and constitutions can be changed but it's not that simple and will take decades.
@@binskee677 China has free speech in their constitution. Japan has clauses in their constitution about how their military is for defense purpose only yet they have suggested they will help Taiwan. In fact, that's probably how it will go -- India (assuming they keep going down that path) will justify some military action as defense just like Japan is doing in regards to their support for Taiwan.
>I bet there are some loopholes
For sure, I just used a great example.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson yes i was thinking about those loopholes. But still better than nothing, and defending other nations is not prohibited by constitution, i don't see the issue in that. What they cannot do is march into another nation like the US does all the time. So if i could chose i would prefer India rather than the US as a military superpower, many wars could have been prevented. But anyway it will take india decades and a lot of luck to reach the level of the US, or Chinese military and economie

India is a vast and diverse country with a rich history and culture. Each state in India has its own unique culture and traditions, which can be vastly different from those of other states. This diversity is what makes India such a unique and fascinating country, but it can also be a source of conflict. The different cultures and traditions of India can lead to different opinions and beliefs, which can sometimes lead to conflict. This is why India is often said to be its own enemy. The country's diversity can be a source of strength, but it can also be a source of weakness. It is important for India to find a way to manage its diversity in a way that promotes unity and harmony.
India has been burned buy western democracies since independence, and has learn the lessons not to completely trust any government, but stay focused on self interest, development and avoid conflicts with other countries. Wars are too expensive and unaffordable for developing countries.

Comparing India with Switzerland is an insult to Switzerland.
Mr. S. Jaishankar, India’s minister for external affairs actually hinted towards this so called diplomatic neutrality in a speech he made recently. He gave the example of a character from an Indian epic, called Krishna, who even in the wake of a pan-nation war maintained neutrality. But this neutrality was not achieved by abstinence from geopolitics but instead it was through actively engaging with every entity to an extent that they believe you would do what’s best for them. The more you analyse Krishna’s character, you’ll realise how sketchy and cunning he was as a politician, but that makes for a brilliant statesman. That’s the kind of approach the ministry of external affairs has been adopting now and it will keep doing so. India will preach ideals and morals but when it comes to act, it will act only in it’s interests. Biggest example is that of Afghanistan; even the outright villain of most people’s stories wants to maintain good ties with India today and sees it as a friend, although in the long term, India is only behaving the way it does to prevent its interests from being downplayed by other characters.
Just like America!
@@captainpinky8307 no not like America. They have colonial mentality and act that way. India is more like live and let live.
Vasudeva Krishna is not cunning, he is the supreme personality of godhead... He will always do what is the dharma. He is the god

People don't understand how a country can get rich! It's simple by avoiding war for long time!
Smartest thing i read in this comment section
Interesting but I offer a counterpoint: what about the US which has been at war for most of its existence and is still easily the richest and powerful nation today?
@@prashanthraghavendran2628 US never really bought the war to america but fought in a foreign land and they had all the money to spare so who cares they got that rich by selling weapons during world war two and did not join the war until the last moment when they were forced to due to some attack its like ambani going and splurging 40 lakh rupees on a purse he is rich he can do it
@@archanasingh3806 to be rich keep your borders calm and fight war in another part of world. That's how Us, Uk, netherland, France, spain, Portugal got rich
Another way create war on different parts of the world and sell weapons 😂😂

This is the best video out there describing India's Foreign Policy
3:35 why Aksai Chin and POK is not there as a part of India?
5:46 Narendra Modi is not President. He is Prime Minister of India.

India's not becoming Switzerland, it still is India and will be India forever Jai Hind❤.
Pipe down champ. India is the weakest member in BRICS.
India, the land of diverse cultures, has always been renowned for its ancient knowledge and wisdom. Unfortunately, this rich heritage was clouded by British-inspired historians until the 1990s. However, India has always been a cradle of civilization and has given birth to many of the most talented and hardworking individuals.
The country's family values and respect for individuals are something that has been deeply rooted in Indian culture for thousands of years. India is also known for its linguistic diversity, with over 19,500 dialects spoken across the country.
India is the birthplace of four major religions - Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism - and has been a Safe house for other religions like Zoroastrianism (Parsi) and Tibetan Buddhism. India also boasts a varied geography, from the Thar Desert in Rajasthan to the Andaman Islands with its active volcano at Barren Island, to Glaciers of Karakoram & Ladakh, to lush green Jungles of Middle & South India, to 1000s of Miles of Coast lines to 1000s mile of Sweet water river.
The country is home to various tribal communities like the Naga, Santhali, Sentinelese tribes. India is also known for its ancient temples with pioneering architecture, like the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha, the Brihadisvara Temple in Tamil Nadu, and the Khajuraho Temples in Madhya Pradesh.
In conclusion, India is a country that prides itself on its ancient knowledge, family values, linguistic diversity, talented individuals, spirituality, and the oasis to various religions. India is truly a melting pot of cultures and is a must-visit for anyone who wants to experience the richness and diversity of the world.

Finally someone is talking about this , the BHIM and UPI system really is ingenious and revolutionary for the whole world.
No it's not. As much as you'd want it to be, most of the developed world is doing mobile payments via NFC. The only reason UPI worked for India is because the government forced it on people by making paper-notes illegal for 6 months.
@@flowzeta5412 paper notes were never made illegal, only the higher denominations were demonetized (new ones were introduced almost immediately), I'm not sure about Europe but the US seems to still rely on plastic cards for payments despite tech companies appealing to the federal Bank to introduce a system similar to UPI
@@flowzeta5412 papernotes were never illegal Karen
@@flowzeta54126 months ? Bro u have no idea ! Literally quickly new currency came it was pre-planned plan ! It was a big move against counter fitting ! Since Pakistan like mf country had almost similar printing technology from same country our older goverment was so dumb 😂 can u imagine they printed out currency in other countries ! One of the EU company also where Pakistan also use there technology !! They bribed the company and started this hawala business of counterfeit notes !

Just after currency ban ! 😂 Just look at Pakistans economy chart ! U will notice the change 😂 ! counterfeit notes was the real Target!!
@@flowzeta5412 I think you should change your news source. UPI was not enforced upon the public, it was adopted because of the ease it provided. Also the initial huge cashbacks provided by companies were lucrative enough to pull large customer base to use UPI instead of other options.
Fun fact: India is surrounded by 7 nations & it has border disputes with more than 25 nations. Examples being border disputes with Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Khalistan, China, Kachin, Bodoland, Assam, Zomi, Chin, Manipur, Mizoram, Bangabhumi, Meghalaya, Nagaland, etc. So yeah, India has a lot of enemies for sure.
U named indian states 😂
He meant that we have more internal enemies than external
Thanks for making me laugh😂😂😂😂
I like how most of the countries you just mentioned are not even recognised by the UN. Most of them Indian states
Half that list are literally states in India.
This is what education looks like in foreign countries folks 😂
Considering the current state of the bureaucracy of India, as well as its tremendous military strength and willingness to use it(as shown by battles in contested territories with Pakistan and China), I must admit the connection seems tenuous. While the goal of avoiding picking one side in the major global conflicts has its similarities, the ways they support that goal and the reasons behind it seem almost strikingly in contrast.
Love your citations.
People in the comments are missing the point.
It’s not about the people, way of life or things like that.
It’s about relationships with other countries.
When you’re not picking sides, that’s just like Switzerland.
Personally I find it ridiculously absurd but I get the points being made.
Switzerland isn't a major world power.
@@0HOON0 Its an underrated power in present scenario because of the role they play in Financial transactions
I agree. It's all because of current government who stayed powerful against US, china hipocracy
@@PS-ug7nm Finance is one thing but Switzerland is not as large as major powers, they've got their thing going and live in peace. But I don't think it can be classed as a major power.
India still has conficts with Pakistan & China
I enjoyed the video but it really hurts me to see my countries map shown wrongly in most of such videos and also the fact that nobody cares to correct it
Also you missed few important things like India’s large naval base at India Indonesia maritime border (great Nicobar) also how our key role in become the voice of global south and India’s humongous medical tourism and vaccine friendship
It’s how people see outside india 🌚 if we want to correct that on world map we gotta have POK inside india which will happen veryyy soooon so you don’t have have to worry
first ask modi shah not to support criminal ysr party and murders and controlling CBi still most of thee countries doesn't know
Quite a learning :)
India's mantra: Live & Let Live. Strong to stand against threats, but peace reigns in our heart. Let's rise together, not against each other.
This comparison is quite ridiculous since India is a much older and established civilization than Switzerland, which only became a thing quite recently.
True
By the end of this century, most Indian states will have GDPs (nominal) comparable to MAJOR European economies so taking on India will be like taking on an entire continent.
Per capita GDP and HDI are abysmal.
@@lvhdmya4807, change takes time and as one of India's neighbours, I am sure that lots of progress would be made by then. By 2050, India's GDP per capita (PPP) will touch around $18,000, more than doubling.
But more importantly, by 2100, the population will decline from 1.7 billion to 1.0 billion so the GDP per capita will increase substantially.
Some places in India have an HDI above 9 while others have an HDI below 4. It is a very unequal country, but as the economy grows exponentially, virtually everyone will benefit. The upper class will become crazy rich, the middle class will expand to the horizon and the working class will improve their income and standard of living by magnitudes.
@@AnonymousReader-er4eg sounds idealistic. But one certainly hopes so. Cheers.
Not by End of the century, more like end of the decade, 3 states are already on track to be trillion dollar economy by 2030.
@@AnonymousReader-er4eg One correction, India's fertility rate has stagnated around 2.1 which means that countries population will not grow anymore from now on, It will remain stagnant for coming years until it drops below 2 which is when population will start decreasing, should be happening by 2030.
It takes skilled manoeuvring to manage this kind of neutrality and vision; hats off to the PM and FM of India.
Yeah. Good one.
The us and eu might be the most important partners right now. But seeing indias relations with asean and the eac develop, will be interesting.
India-ASEAN relations are underwhelming to say the least. Take a look at their bare bones minimal FTA. also, india has opted out of CPTPP & RCEP. it has basically conceded the economic space to China
Culturally Asean are more close and similar with India... The people love each other
India can take this position because of its geographical quirks. It is separated from the rest of the Eurasian continent by mountain ranges, yet connected to both Europe, Africa and Asia via the sea without obstruction. It can be insulated when it wants to be and open when it wants to be. There's a reason why its called the "Indian" Ocean.
The only challenge to India is once again, it's geographical location. Did you know that India is in the same latitude as the Sahara desert? That means that it is prone to aridity.
@pavan You cannot use "less water" indefinitely. Which is why nobody has ever farmed on an industrial scale in the desert (until recent times).
India relies almost entirely on the monsoons for crop irrigation. That is a good thing because rainwater will not lead to soil salination. But also a bad thing because climate change will change how the monsoons operate around the world (E.g., Changes in duration, intensity and timing).
Thankfully India has an indigenous nuclear industry with a goal in developing thorium based reactors. Nuclear energy can be used to desalinate large amounts of water at low cost. Whether the government will seize that opportunity is anybody's guess.
Do u know the place that receives highest rainfall in the world is in Meghalaya state of India.
@@trusfratedbunny2215 Can all 1.4 billion Indians live and farm in Meghalaya? Also if the monsoon season fails, where is the moisture going to come from? You do know why it rains so heavily in Meghalaya in the first place...right?
Never thought of this. Interesting.
0:07 correct the map you used, a part of it is missed in northern side.
Honestly speaking as an indian, we really feel its our dharma to work on ourselves and carefully mind our own business along side taking careful actions to make our growth and world's growth parralal to each other. For instance ,india is more willing to share technology with other smaller countries than west ever was and ever cd be. We were denied so many things and we built them on our own. And we proudly believe in sharing it to nationas that need it. We really consider this world as a family and we wd always want to be ethical and productive in a larger context of this world

Nice analysis I was also thinking that during this time only India is the most neutral country in the world
It will be Singapore. India is not neutral and also their economy is relative anti competition. Switzerland refer to politically neutral and banking system which is safe and fair to foreigners. Both of which India lacks. The Indian economy is only beneficial to Indians, that is why many international brands failed to take hold there.
@@chunchun-maru why so salty I just said india is neutral like Switzerland (which is not neutral now). It's still nowhere close to Switzerland in per capita gdp.
India is allies with both Russia and Us and have trade relationship with china and eu while and having a strong military domestically. So yeah they are neutral even more than Switzerland in political terms.

With due regards, I want to convey that you mentioned conflict in Kashmir between India-China (05:40ish).

Damn I didn’t know Switzerland had so much communal violence
It doesn’t have 28 states hosting multiple religions equally and some minorities more. So yeah, communal violence is less
You’re partially right in that India is looking to find a sweet middle ground that maximises it’s benefits but making comparisons to the Swiss is a bad one. I like how we have good ties with Saudis and Iranians, Israelis and Palestine, Russia and US, gives us unique opportunities. Furthermore, good ties with Africa, and Japan is a bonus too. Where we lack good relationship is Central Asia, South America, rest of North America. Relationship with SE Asia and EU needs a step up as well.
what! we have great relations with South Am and Africa. Canada is iffy as it supports khalistanis.
@@nandanbhardwaj8464 We barely have a relationship with South America. It’s cordial but not great, Brazil maybe better than rest but still not a huge relationship in either direction.
Thailand also doesn’t really pick sides. I think many south east Asia countries can also be described as so called neutrality.
Yes or no .South East Asian countries bend their knee many times in front of different masters that's not exactly neutrality it's survival instinct . For example Pakistan has a very deep relationship with China & USA does it mean it's a neutral country?😅 Clear example would be did any ASEAN country buy oil from Russia also some of them has wonderful relationship with Russia.
Thailand is vassal state of China 😅
@@rajdeepsaha439 Thailand imported Russian oil and tourists
Yes and No actually. Although Thailand and many south east asian countries don't actively pick side but they do bend under pressure. Recently Indonesia held the G 20 summit, and they did give under west pressure to include Ukraine too in the summit even though Ukaine is not part of G 20. Also, many of south east countries did condemn Russia in UN resolution votings. Whereas India neither invited Ukraine in its G 20 summit this year, nor it has voted in favour of either West or Russia in the UN Resolution voting.

India has fought most of wars alone
@@Kevin-fq3zh India can face China alone because of Nuclear Weapons. However, India is also aligning with the QUAD to cut off China from its maritime trade should Xi invade Taiwan. Of course if Xi lose then the China can kiss goodbye to its UN security council seat as it becomes increasingly difficult for the West to work with two authoritarian states that waged wars against its neighbours for territorial expansion.
