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.
@@_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...
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.
Doesn't matter, different countries use those two positions for different purposes. In India it is of great importance and in other country President is the important one

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.
@@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. Pakistan actually needs an uprising to overthrow their generals, else we will soon say, ek tha Pakistan
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
Every country has its own debt ,internally or externally got,Some countries looted other countries and got their wealth collected.We were under colonial rule for centuries so, same thing happened to us.Then ,these untrustworthy politicians came, hope we can recover in good sprit soon.
@SwissMapper It's not your folt, western media never show how much developed we are,and talking about beauty we have very diverse weather in different parts of our country.Before commenting anything I prefer you should visit India
As a brother neighbor country Nepal 🇳🇵 we are having strong history of sharing religious beliefs 🕉️, sharing economy, sharing river which flows down from Mount Everest (Nepal). Summing it in local language we call it (Roti- Beti) relationship. Talking about personal relation me being Nepalese my half of the family is Indian it feels great to visit them during childhood I never new we are from different country! Hopefully, cause of two county relationship our coming generation would also feel same. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵 to India 🇮🇳. Jai Sambho!!
Just a quick correction - not every country that is a member of the UNSC gets the right to veto, only the permanent members (US, UK, China, Russia and France) get the right to veto not the temporary members. Loved the video though :)
8:19 what makes it even better is that India also owns the island chain immediately to the right of the words ‘Indian ocean’ which aren’t highlighted in this video. Those are the Lakshadweep Islands
This video reminded me , at the beginning of the ukrainian war , i saw a few Americans critisizing india for buying a couple airplanes from russia , but an indian said that they do what’s good for india and nothing else
Being one of the top militaries in the world and one of the largest economy in the world , Being neutral takes a lot of courage and diplomatic power, basically u are witnessing top class diplomacy of this century
No you aren’t. You’re seeing someone that is waiting until their military is powerful enough to do what they want and drop neutrality. And if Modi and the authoritarian rule he has is a sign of things to come, a more powerful india will possibly raise Concerns
@@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
People are so anti-India proved by this comment section . No one wants India to grow, when others are pulling you down , understand that u are doing something good 😊.

We don't need Care about others, They've Ignored Rising India until 2022, And when Ukraine War Started Every major Country was at our Doorstep begging to Support themselves, 😂😂😂😂 So we just keep on Rising and even in this Video Mentioned China as the Biggest Economy, But didn't mention that Today India is the World's Fastest Growing Economy and it is Rising Fast, It's Share of World's GDP Nominal rose from 2% in 2014 to 3.8% in 2023, Thanks to Modi Govt's Policies becoz IMF, Bloomberg,S&P Global etc all reported that Under Modi Govt,India is still the Fastest Growing Major Economy will continue until the Next Decade and 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 India is world's 2nd largest Receiver of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) worth $ 83 Billion USD only behind China,and India is has 3rd Highest number of Tech Unicorns and Startups with 90,000+ Startups and 114+ Unicorns which raised over a whopping $ 450 Billion dollars of Investments in just last 8 years and which are Still booming and All this is due to India's Population which is Also Getting Richer as S&P Global and Morgan Stanley predicted India's Population will be the Largest Spenders in the Whole World by 2030, As More than 800 million -1 Billion People will Join the Global Middle-class and 25% of the Population will have a net-income of $ 35,000+ Dollars by 2030 up from 5% in 2019, which means 25% of India's Population will reach Global Upper Income levels, And 60% of Indians will reach Global Middle Income Level by 2030s India's Stock Markets BSE and NSE are world's 5th and 6th Largest Stock Markets of the World Overtaking 6 places since 2014 and Increasing their Capitalisation from $ 1.6 trillion USD to a Whopping $ 7.5 Trillion USD in 2022 and India is The World's 5th largest Economy and soon to be 3rd largest by 2028, And 4th most powerful country, 3rd most Advanced Country in technological Advancements According to Stanford University, India is the World's 3rd Most Advanced country in terms of development of Future Technologies such as AI, Digitalization, Green Tech, Quantum, And Biotechnology etc Only behind the US and China and IMF says India's Poverty has declined to just 6%, less than The US And India has the World's 3rd Highest Number of Billionaires
I'm a fan of what India's doing out there it's nice to have a cool head in that area. When India says something people believe it. It may have it's own personal geopolitical woes but the strategy they're adopting here really in the long term is the best way to lift up those woes. It's extra juicy when former and relatively recently independent temporary British colonies start to excel as a man of the US, which was once a British colony.
@@itsokay7896 That's right map. Pagan Lindu dalits can't accept the fact that they dont have those parts of kashmir and illegally terrorising in indian part.......
India doesnt have to keep fleets near bangladesh. india has navel and air bases in andaman and nicobar islands which is close to malaca straights which also makes china nervous.
US forces don't make anyone nervous anymore, after their dismal failure in Afghanistan. Their shrewd policies of keeping tabs on even their Allies was unveiled just a couple days ago as well. And as for China, US is the one that is afraid of the dragon, which holds a significant amount of US Treasury Securities and can dearly affect their economy at will. The so called "friendship" they have recently started with India, is to counter the economic threats posed by China on their fake sense of world dominance.
@@Kevin-fq3zh really that why they threatens Taiwan literally every day American navy is strongest but due to our geographical location we have a complete hegemony over Indian ocean as we have 4 th strongest army in world And remember 1971 indo pak war when America facilitated a genocide in Bangladesh and sent 7 th fleet to scare India but India did not listen and came out on top
Can we agree that it is both by british and Indians of that time. I mean those Pakistanis were Indians at that time. They were also Bharatiyans but they chose to seperate.

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.
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.
@@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.

Western academia is filled with Indians writing reams about imaginary problems with India, Chinese though... They just dont do that sort of thing.

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.

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.
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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 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.
This comparison is quite ridiculous since India is a much older and established civilization than Switzerland, which only became a thing quite recently.
@@moonlight.fairy. sooo your definition of "good geography" is beautiful mountain range and big land size? lolll you need to read a book and come back with your supporting statement.
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.

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.

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.

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.
@@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.
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.

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.
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 :)

What a silly concept. India supported Putin's war from the start. India's "neutrality" is so much BS. Putin's war coffers are being filled by India in return for cheap oil. India is laughing at countries that refuse to buy Russian oil, cynically refusing to acknowledge India's large contribution to the killing of Ukrainians.
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
@@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 ! Which enter in india from Nepal Bangladesh border ! Which cause havoc in india ! Which nobody saw ! Just follow Pakistan's economic collapse ! 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.
With respect I want to say that we are not the Switzerland of Asia but we are Bharat(India) of the world. 😊 सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे भवन्तु निरामया वसुदेव कुटुम्बकम 🇮🇳🚩
India actually has a state in its Northeast called Uttar Pradesh, and the population of this state on its own is greater than the sixth most populous nation today. Anyway, historically speaking, India has found itself at the center of global trade. That's why the British, French, and Portuguese wanted control over India, to easily trade with East Asia. So it's only natural that today it finds itself in that same favorable geographical position. Not only that, but it has military bases in Oman - direct access to the Hormuz straight, central Asia to keep China under control, and various African Island Nations. Clearly they aren't wasting any time in taking advantage of their almost unrivaled control over the Indian Ocean.
The UP is not something to bring into comparison, its the worst state after Bihar honestly...so save the speech....its rather the south that has given India its strength to be a strong superpower
@@eboyblackout The only arguments there are that Tamil Nadu is a very rich state, Hyderabad is a very rich city, and Cochin and Calicut have lots of traffic passing through them. Arguably, China is not a very good place to live because of dictatorships and lack of freedoms, and yet it has the second highest GDP, simply due to a very high population.
@@eboyblackout india is becoming superpower only because of 2 gujarati peoples modi and shah... Their is no help from south...becayse these idli states r busy in fighting among themselves in the name of languages
Wow, this is the best video i have been recommended by youtube for years and i really liked it. Everything about it was brilliant. Thank you for this, subscribed 👍❤ 🇩🇰
Thanks for making a video on our motherland, we indians believe in peace, and having a good alliance with every Nation in the world...but yes, sometimes our neighbors are interested in downgrading us and we are left with no other option rather than picking up weapons for ourselves defense......peace is not an option, it's an essential....but yes, self defense is also a must
@@GodZilla-d6r if india is mentioned in any video , the comments sections will full of " proud to be indian, india is great and bla bla , it looks so odd
@@avi......2091 Bro bro bro, just comment what I thought......no need to be so raged......be chilled man, and the things i have written in my comment are not false, India has not attacked anyone first......."proud to be an Indian" 🤣😂
The largest democracy and the most populated country in the world doesn't have a permanent UN security council seat. Shows what level of a joke the UN has become today.
6:05 - Error spotted. India didnt implement the Look East Policy in 2014, but in 1997. The first forays into building partnerships with South East Asia took place then. What it implemented in 2014 was the Act East Policy which built on top of the earlier Look East Policy.
Nice Information, but please dont re-use the background "music" it sounds half like a teams call and half like a skype call in between - it is hardly distracting and I can not follow your voice properly, one without xylophone would be better :)
No, This is Nothing, He never mentioned that India is the World's 3rd Largest Economy by PPP with a GDP of $ 13 Trillion USD in 2023, And World's 5th largest Economy by Nominal GDP with $ 3.7 Trillion USD and 5th most Industrialized Country and Fastest Growing Major Economy and He Mentioned about China as Biggest Economy
@@nomulahemanth3109 it's fine he is comparing the foreign policies of 2 countries.He is talking bout certain aspect of India doesn't mean he need to include every little details about a country which is irrelevant to the current topic.
@@parthasarathibehera8463 Look, India is the Rising Economic and Military Superpower that's the Reason he made this Video, This is as simple as that, Becoz The UAE is also Neutral just like India, But he doesn't Make Video on The UAE or Qatar becoz they are Not As Important on the Global Stage as India and If these people on YT include China, They start saying China is the World's 2nd largest Economy and a Global Power competing against the US
