China-India-Pakistan - What is the Future? Post-Cold War Analysis

Our historical documentary series on the history of the Cold War and post-Cold War continues with a video on the relations between China, India, and Pakistan, as we try to deduce what the future of the Sino-Indo-Pakistani relations are and how it will affect the region.

Quoting Arundhati Roy for BJP and India is like quoting Ibrahim X Kendi on the Republican party or the American state .
Be aware of the background of the people you quote

[RM]

Naming India a far right Hindu nation is similar like calling the US government a far right Christian extremist state? The logic?

[arijitpalit]

I would just say this. Judging BJP only on the basis of analysis of left will lead to massive misunderstanding of their modus operandi. It cannot describe why BJP is continuously winning elections in several non-hindu majority North Eastern states.

[simulify]

Bruh I don't think calling India right now a far right Hindu nation will be correct, people gave vote to the BJP party because the other party i.e. Indian National Congress was proving worse for the country and Hindu community as a whole. While BJP is not the 'good' side, it's much better than INC and for the Hindu community

Tho despite all these claims of Hindu fascism or militancy, I would still say the Muslims are still organizing protests and often violent riots which seemingly don't get publish much in west for some reason...

[arkamaiti]

LoL, he really quoted Arundhuti Roy 😂. Why all these westerners depend on such unreliable sources everytime 😵‍💫.

[majormoolah]

I am very surprised you did not mention France when you talked about India. France is a major supplier of weapons to India, the Dassault Rafale has been a popular item in particular. And they have nuclear energy cooperation... and Macron and Modi frequently visit each other. When India decided to buy new passenger jets, they split the order between USA and France equally. Modi does not want to tie himself into any one partner.

[FinestYew]

I hope you take a more balanced approach the next time you do a video on India. There are numerous points that seriously undermine your analysis.
1. Arundhati Roy represents the fringe in India. Its like me quoting Elijah Muhammad to describe US politics. Some examples; her 2010 opinion on the Maoist terrorists in India: "It ought to be an armed movement. Gandhian way of opposition needs an audience, which is absent here. People have debated long before choosing this form of struggle". She further said “they (Naxals) are more Gandhian than any other Gandhian in their consumption pattern...their lifestyle”.

She said of the Indian disposition on Kashmir in 2010: “Kashmir has never been an integral part of India. It is a historical fact. Even the Indian government has accepted this”. At the event where she uttered this remark, she also added that India had become a “colonising power” shortly after attaining Independence.

2. The BJP is not “far right”. Does it have “far right” people? Yes. The same way the GOP has “far right” people & the Democrats have “far left” people. That doesn’t make the GOP or Dems far right or far left. If you want to cherry pick statements from their leaders, we can have a long, drawn-out conversations on what the ‘norm’ or ‘mean’ of Indian politics is because in India; for instance, socialism isn’t considered as far left as it is in the US. Branding parties like the BJP as something non-Indians are bound to associate with policies & imagery which does not align with their vision or ideology, is only going to complicate your viewership’s understanding of a pretty complex country.

3. The Farm Laws were a net good for the country that had the support of the almost all mainstream Agri-economists in the country. Some may have qualified their statements by adding that the GOI ought to do more but that does not change the fact that they broadly saw such a move as good. Furthermore, the protests were not the “largest strike in recorded history”. I have no idea where you’re getting your info from but this is extremely sloppy work on your part. Do you even have an idea of large protests can get in India?


4. You omitted the fact that the “protest” comprised of blockading the national capital, causing massive economic damage to the areas the route they blockaded serviced, a full-blown riot on Republic Day that saw the attempted murder of the police by mobs attempting to drive tractors into police lines as well as the lynching of a Dalit man on blasphemy charges. We all know how Trudeau & the Canadian Govt ended the Truckers Rally. Was that an exhibition of fascistic tendency or just enforcement of L&O?

5. Your assessment on Kashmir’s perception shift & tone that implies the revocation of autonomy of a Union Territory that had signed the instrument of accession is quite troubling too. The GOI has spent a considerable amount of time, money & effort in billing Kashmir as a safe place to invest your money or visit for tourism. They have been courting Indian & Emirati businesses to invest in the region, have been working on the USBRL project to connect Srinagar (the capital of the UT) with the rest of India & are scheduled to host a G20 event in the Union Territory. Where is the “Islamist haven” part of your argument originating from? If anything, popular discourse mocks the Modi govt for being too pacifistic following the recent killings of Hindus, specifically the Kashmiri Pandits, in the state & even ridicules the current LG of the state for attempting to whitewash the attacks.

More importantly, the state of Jammu & Kashmir under the then Maharaja’s control signed the instrument of accession after being invaded by Pakistan. Legally, after that day the princely state became sovereign Indian territory. Article 370 was a temporary provision & was never meant to be a permanent fixture of the constitution.

Thank you for the non-april fools based content on this day.

[BrownBombero]

19:06 I'm sure China will continue maintaining good relations with China

Edit - I had not noticed it was fixed in the captions, my bad

[orkkojit]

Your analysis of Indian domestic and foreign affairs is complete bull crap

[fakecorny]

3:01 That's Bangladesh not East Pakistan.

[anshuldwivedi]

The core misunderstanding that the world has about hostility between India - Pak is the assumption that Kashmir is the core issue and once that is resolved, the relations would ease out and settle down.
The core issue is the islamic Jihadi mentality of the Pakistani leadership, their armed forces & the ISI. The ultimate goal is to capture the sub-content and bring back the "glory" of the islamic mughal empire. There can never be peace between the 2 nations, India won't collapse and Pak won't give up; it is an eternal struggle that began in 1400 years ago.

[jakala]

It's funny to see what the West thinks about India and its politics 😂😂

[Asfandyar_]

Hi, as a Pakistani I would like to make one basic thing clear

The coup in Pakistan has already happened, in April of 2022. The present regime ministers have time and time again admitted that they were "forced to take over" by the Army.
Thus, The nature of military coup has changed. Back before the era of mass media or social media in Pakistan and the world, American backed coups were easy. Now, the army needs a democratic facade to hide behind. A facade which is transparent to Pakistani people as every other week a govt functionary admits army was involved in Khan's ouster and bringing them in, but westerners such as yourself who don't obviously watch Urdu speeches/interviews of these ministers are still thinking there is "going to be a coup"

I live in the Indian Himalayan state of uttarakhand bordering china occupied Tibet and this video affects my life so much.

[IamdeaththedestroyerofWorlds]

Pakistan is a nuisance more than a rival😂

[wisdomhighschool]

Today India is world's 5th Largest Economy and soon to be 3rd largest by 2028, and India is also world's 5th largest Manufacturer, And The Largest Manufacturer of Pharmaceuticals, 2nd largest Manufacturer of Smartphones, Cement, Solar, and Automobiles etc, 3rd largest Producer of Electricity and 4th largest Manufacturer of Cars and 2nd largest Receiver of Foreign Direct Investments and has Highest Country with Unicorns and Startups which are Still booming and All this is due to India's Population which is Also Getting Richer

[saiprateek]

7:19 - Indian policy was never Islamophobic or Neoliberal, we were at good terms with Pakistan until Pakistan's consistent attacks...

Pakistani ISI supported terrorists and Radical groups operating in "PoK-Pakistan Occupied Kashmir" (which you depicted showing the map in 3:40)... there was genocide of Kashmiri Hindus in 1950-80s

Then there were following attacks mentioned below:

1. 2001 Indian Parliament attack in Delhi
2. 26/11 Taj, oberoi hotel, Nariman House attack in Mumbai
3. 2016 Uri Attack
4. Pathankot Airfield attacks
5. CRPF Attacked in Pulwama

India has been more of a nonviolent country since 1947 until provoked by Pakistan (1947, 65, 71, 99) and China as well (1962 and 2015/20 Standoff), China and Pakistan have had upper-hand in destroying India's sovereignty, Unity and Integrity... (which involves Direct monetary support to Radical Groups like Khalistan, JeM, LeT, NSCN-K and Anti-India Liberals) used Social media and newspapers as weapons to attack..

In India, Being a "Liberal" means being "Anti-National"...

[abhinav.pandey]

Shall clarify for the India part:-
1) Quoting Arundhati Roy as your source on Indian socio-political paradigm seriously undermines an otherwise legitimate historical discourse. I would urge you to have a balanced approach in the future to be able to present the nuances of India.
2) Jammu & Kashmir's autonomy was always a temporary provision to begin with, as provided in Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. No other state or union territory has their own separate flag or constitution. It was only a matter of time when some political dispensation with enough will power struck it down.
3) The 3 Farm Laws that were passed in the Indian Parliament were actually introduced in the general interests of the agricultural and allied community, if one read them. It's just that they could have been debated further among the stakeholders and to amend, where applicable. But, the message was conveyed poorly on the government's part and they had to be reversed coz a faction had decided to go on an insurrection spree across town.

The Indian internal political analysis was not deep . The rise of BJP and reasons for its sustained political positions were not discussed and religious aspect was overused here .
