[ReligioCritic]

India should learn something from Israel. When genocide of Jews happened their leaders never let anyone forget, even after facing multiple genocides, our leaders made sure that that no one remembers these genocides.

[AtulS.Guitar]

My gratuitous advice to Hindus, leave this habit of one sided love with other countries/people. Neither Israelis nor French have any special love for Hindus/India. If Indians begin to travel abroad frequently they will understand what I mean.

[angeldust]

Israel does whatever is in their best interest, just like India. So does France. France, especially, cannot take chances after the Ukraine disaster and the weakening Euro currency.

[VishnuKamath]

US has treated India differently since Independence. Not sure if this will affect India-France or India-Israel relations. But do remember in the end, when our "very friendly neighbors" attack us. India is on its own. No country will come to our aid. May be except Israel with Intelligence.

[commentguy]

We dont care...You are with us or against us...India will rise 😀😀

[hinduwarrior]

Always a pleasure to hear you speak on Geopolitics and world matters!

[rickyravani]

Israel is brotherly during Kargil war it was one of the few countries that had directly helped India by providing mortars and ammunition. It is now also known that Israel provided laser-guided missiles for Mirage 2, 000 fighter planes of the Indian Air Force...

Also In July (1971), Golda Meir, Israel's prime minister,  secretly got an Israeli arms manufacturer to provide India with some mortars and ammunition, along with a few instructors. When Haksar pressed Israel for support, Meir promised to continue helping out."

[Hello-frkm]

relation between countries may change but not between people bcz these are historically sweet connections

[garvesh]

INDIA - ISRAEL relationship assumed prominant position in 1998 under Prime Minister Vajpai but foundation of this relationship was laid over thousands of years ago.

[hareshgaglani]

The US is a most unreliable, crooked and capricious ally/friend?? This is a unique opportunity for us. Russia is in a corner and India MUST stand by it. They did it for us in 1971. We must enhance our mutual trade to the maximum extent: in short, sell them whatever we can and buy wherever they have a competitive advantage. In addition, where Russia has the technological edge, we should jointly manufacture all the very high tech defence and other products in India. Let us also encourage businesses from each to establish and thrive in the other and even the competent manpower to relocate. As for France and Israel, it is unlikely that our relationship with them will be adversely affected because of the US.

[Themindsiddhi]

Sir, you said INDIA-US relations are not the best. But do you see the relations improving if Republicans, or more specifically, Trump wins the next elections?

[dramaaddict]

I don't think there will be much change into relationship between India and Israel and also with
Israel and France have their independent foreign policies..unlike Germany and UK..
and these minor conflicts will not impact ..
France needs India as well in IndoPacific...as France have their presence in this region...
Also Israel US relationship is somewhat in line with US India relationship mostly strategic..
In coming years NATO will be dissolved for sure..and EU nations as well as West Asian countries are already trying to dissociate themselves with US....

[Samm]

Currently, indo-French relationship is very strong. I do not know what is going to happen between India and Israel. But France, still feels India is one of the largest market for them and a key strategic partner in terms of defense and diplomacy. The relationship between US and France has taken a hit since Biden has came into power and same goes for US and Israel relationship.
*I live in france and closely follow their govt

[NittnBinhani]

These are individual perceptions, yes US India relations have become Frosty, owing to our neutral stance to Russia Ukraine conflict but not adversaries as proclaimed. Not yet!

[jagadishsaligram]

There may at worst be a temporary freeze under US pressure on the ongoing defence and military cooperation between India& Isreal, and India & France, which may last about two years. India's growing economic and military strength will force all pragmatic nations to be guided by realism; the gradually diminishing might of the US, too will facilitate this process though it may be several years away.

[abhisal]

1.Israel supplied weapons to India when India was fighting against Pakistan.
2.France supported Indian stance of having nukes, they were the only country which traded or supported India amid sanctions of US when we did nuclear test.
So, now our bonds &mutual needs are more interwined I don't think it will change anything.

[mihirshah]

#AskAbhijit I am a 22-year-old newcomer who has been hired by a multinational corporation to work with US clients. You've mentioned in previous videos that Indo-American relations are going through a rough patch.
Is this going to have an impact on job security? Can you elaborate on how these types of businesses might be impacted? (Seeing how Indians are in Important designations in these giants as well)

[dkbros]

Again there is no friends and enemies in Geopolitics only intrest

[Hello]

The most important partnership of the 21st century is Indo-US partnership.If the leaders of the United States were good like President Trump.

[tusharkanavalli]

“I do not think any country provides India with the same level of technology. The progress is also due to the fact that we recognise that India wants to boost its strategic autonomy, wants to build its industrial base and we want to be India’s best partner in this move, ” he told PTI.
This statement was made by french ambassador to india right after us and Germany made some hostile moves to india. Does this give some hint ? Especially the statement seems to suggest that France wants to be a partner with India in boosting it's 'startegic autonomy'
