Calling Modi as Hitler is inviting Trump like situation by opposition

As always the pro- democrat bias shines through. Gupta confuses democrats with our dear old congress.

Attempt on Trump was one thing but the way the so called American liberal media reacted to the incident was infuriating. Some of the headlines which were published by the "independent media" which just can't stop preaching to the world about the media standards were just baffling to say the least.

Ronald Reagan was a strong supporter of free trade and was anti-union. The result is that a lot of labor intensive manufacturing shifted out of the USA. China saw its opportunity. It liberalized its economy and improved relations with the US. Today you cannot buy a TV made in the US. Shoes, Clothing, small appliances and light bulbs are all imported from China and quality is generally quite good. India continued with closed economy and License Raj.

If, I can strongly disagree with this analysis: I watched the vox videos years ago, so not watching it now. Nowhere in those videos do they use terms like right & left so frequently as they are used in this CTC. Such terms pollutes the political debate. However, its a disservice of the worst kind when we use such terms while talking economics. With all due respect towards the incredible things that I learn through this segment, I think terms like right & left are used frequently when one can't differentiate between right & wrong

LEft is getting desparate

The inc isn’t the same congress as well , remember it was mrs Gandhi who broke away

This polarisation is fuelled by social media, where one narrative need to be countered by other by all means

India has no right. India has left leaning BJP. Far left Congress and other political parties and far left urban naxals. There are only the Muslim parties in India whom you can say are the right parties. Right for themselves and far left for non-Muslims.

Shekhar ji has given a masterclass in the big picture clutter and American context of divisions in America today. World media - WATCH and LEARN

"militancy, separatism and terrorism" aren't ideologies according to The Print.

Thanks for your unique "Left, Right & Centre" decluttering to viewers like us ✍️✍️🙏🙏

Democrats are not left. They are actually center, Republicans are right wing. But both follow libertarian philosophy, that is core to democracy

U forgot the assassination of lal bahadur shastri in Tashkent. Apart from that actually insightful video... The Marco Rubio angle is something I would like to read more about now.

Soon india will see same situation... Opposition cannot tolerate modi 3rd term ...same as Government.

Congress is not left of center. It is far left party. Ideas like khatakhat, wealth distribution etc shows Congress is far left party. It will support Antifa also when situation arises. Donot try to water down the fact. This is why I have stopped subscription

Shekhar being the most senior journalist in India u should know what is happening with our national recruitment agency and make everyone aware about this.

Sometimes it feels like The Video content and its Title is totally different

This should be titled "A brief history of USA politics". Brilliantly done. I love these kind of episodes when Shekhar Gupta does a dive into the past and connects it to what's happening right now.

If someone smart enough wants to connect all the dots since 2016 since when Trump was first elected, decoding what happened & what can happen next is not too difficult to interpret.

@SGsir I am also not an expert on US politics but from what I know this is a flawed telling of US political history... calling progressivism the successor to anti-slavery is wrong... liberty/freedom is the successor to anti-slavery... progressivism or so called affirmative action or positive discrimination is just euphemism for discrimination and are tools of social engineers and anti-liberalism. So, Republicans have always been a party of liberty, be it in opposing slavery, or wanting small government, or free market, or opposing diversity quotas...modern journalists and universities equate progressivism with liberalism when they could not be further from each other....Since as back as the French revolution people knew that "liberty, equality (or rather equity) and fraternity" which made the French moto are infact opposing ideals and a liberal/free society will never give you equality of outcome.

Thankyou shekar sir for the insight on the video.

Hey print! can you introduce 1440p/ 4k videos?

AR-15 more potent than AK-47, that is hilarious! Please get yourself educated. AK-47 is a full automatic rifle, while AR-15 is semi-automatic. 7.62x39 bullet used in an AK is a higher grain bullet than 5.56 NATO used in AR.

We keep being told that America is polarized but perhaps it has rarely been more united? It is not difficult to appear to be united when the two main parties and candidates are extremely similar and promoting very similar policies and agendas but is this being united? What the people want is practical common sense not left or right-wing extremism pretending to be centralist when it is anything but. Elections are won from the middle and people like Farage and Trump represent this very middle not what their respective establishments both want and need but what the people both want and need. This is by definition political centralism and what democracy is supposed to deliver. This is why all ruling elites, are perfectly terrified by Farage, Trump, and others. They divide so they rule. This leftwing v rightwing, but the establishment always wins BS, is being called out and found wanting. These chaps represent our slave-owning class's worst possible nightmare come true, just as they thought they had this one in the bag. Everything seems to be falling apart around them including their much beloved EU, China, and once-captured Russia. Their Utopian Wet-dream of a Global Empire under their exclusive rulership is fast turning to dust. This is what they really mean when they say Trump is a threat to democracy. What we don't understand is that "making the world safe for democracy" means something very different to the common people than it does to them. What they mean is safe for those who control the so-called democratic world, not safe or prosperous for the people who live within these places. We need to also remember that they have been expensively selling this 'Utopian' concept of a One World Government to the world for well over 100 years, and some will argue much longer than that. Therefore these power-obsessed despots are not going to give up, not now or at any time in the future. Their dream will likely happen one day, the only questions are when and how many millions if not billions of us will need to be sacrificed for this to happen. Make no mistake, they really don't care how many, or even when, that much. They don't care if 99% of the world's population has to be murdered or stopped from being born in the first place. We outnumber them by many millions to one, and very understandably they don't like these kinds of odds. Prince Phillip of the UK is quoted as saying that he wished to be reincarnated as a deadly virus to help wipe out most of humanity. To these people, the masses are either expendable livestock or annoyingly disobedient vermin messing up their Planet. The fact that we are now waking up and so becoming even more annoying will only make them more determined to virtually wipe us all out ASAP. We either go down fighting or go down anyway unless we at some time in the future understand the true nature of our enemy, learn to say "NO", and mean it.

शेखर जी eocnomic और social left and right ko confuse न करिए

This is by far the worst face saving talk by shekhar ji. What i appreciate- 1. You called it assassination What i have concern with - 1. Victim protection/ sympathy creation by putting blame on polarized public, easy availability of guns, poor trained guy who missed the shot etc. 2. Drawing parallel with mr. gandhi assassination 3. Saying assassination of indira and rajeev were not ideological, they were terrorist / separatist 4. Give gyan on party history because i cant questions democracy status of usa, lapses of security guys, stupid media whitewashing and how us leaders have given wierd statements on this. Please contrast this with how the issue was covered by media when 2 guys entered indian parliament with smoke bombs.

Great segment as usual by Mr Gupta. He helps us here in the United States understand our country and system! The breaking news that Trump picked J.D.Vance and not Rubio proves that Mr Gupta’s analysis is spot on!! 👏 👏

What was the reason of separatism which killed Indira Gandhi? Shekhar always beat around bush when it comes to punjab

2016 election is also loss for Democrats due to Hillarys overconfidence in swing states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, she barely lost them or Trump barely won them.

Shekhar Gupta is always the student who doesn’t know the right answer to a 15 marks question, so he starts blabbering about many subjects which are not directly related to the main question 😂

This man has never been a neutral observer. His appropriates leftist blocks and makes them look better on grounds of compassion. he more dangerous than Shashi Tharoor,

Excellent summation, assessment SGji. Thank you. What a deep peep into America's party system, party politics and gun violence in politically motivated eliminative assassinations!!! It fully contextualizes the latest attempt on Trump.

You just merged two of my favorite videos on RU-vid😅

Correction: Eisenhower came to power after WWII not Cold War

"The inc isn’t the same congress as well , remember it was mrs Gandhi who broke away"

Hello SGji T20 WC and Euro kept me away from your videos for quite some time Back to school from today❤❤❤ Very informative Always wondered how the "ass" and the "elephant" became political symbols

Lol, did he just say that Americans have an assassination culture ?!😂

See how His masters faithful servant Rahul encourages violence against Modi quite often thinking Indians love such talks. Congress conveniently forgets contribution of Sanjay Gandhi as the original strong man who lost his life in a so called helicopter crash. Indira encouraged Bhindranwala type aggression due to Punjab politics that engulfed herself. Rahul used muscle unintelligently in Srilankan Politics to pay with his life. Mahatma wanted Nehru to leave chair and on same evening when he announced his decision Mahatma lost his life which still leaves more questions than answers. Unless Govt acts smart we may see chaos here too sponsored by Rahul in his latest Mafia Posture in public which is not smart politics at all. Lets wait..

Cut clutter is not the apt name... You go into details so much & clutter with irrelevant or repeated jargons.. 😅

Amazing discussion ❤

Than you sir

Something very fishy about all this 😂

Shekher, I am a regular listener , recently you have started making the things more cluttered , subject wise and language wise. In an attempt to be different you loose track of subject. Unnecessary statistics and complex data is un absorbable and beyond comprehension. Pl refer to Sudha Murti vs Shashi Tharoor debate and avoid too complex vocabulary.

Is this a Wikipedia episode?

Very well explained

Respectfully dislike, you should have made a video on the conspiracy theories floating on this topic

Congrats for new watch sir...

Plz talk about bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩student

Master class 👍

It was a rather over-simplistic talk

Having lived in America for a decade. I still feel this episode was a waste of time and useless information about irrelevant history for our audience. Sg sir seems a little lost here :(

American political history packed in a 20 minute video in this ctc. Interesting how a left party becomes right and a right becomes left over time. Polarisation, gun culture and hate from Lincoln to Roosevelt to now. Why not a separate program on American politics ahead of the election, SG ?

Good leadership brings people together, not divide each other. India's pro-govt media has labelled students & farmers as being anti-national at the slightest opposition. Good govt doesn't look at their own citizens as their enemy. The first country nazis invaded was their own. Let's not follow authoritarians where everything was friend or foe, black & white, who obsessed about internal traitors. Pak became a religious nation, but there is muslim on muslim violence, coz they started fighting about who is real muslim. Why are we following in the steps of pak & trying to be a religious nation with religious radicals? The day there are no muslims, there would be still be all the problems & deep cultural/regional divisions in India; Hindus would fight each other, fighting about a better/higher Hindu. It's ironic the govt is using PLMA law to target opponents without evidence, while talking about sins of emergency to divert from your their own sins today. The new criminal law (BNS), suppose to remove colonial past, contains draconian provisions that reinforces a colonial mindset. He is a person who has recited, childishly, old film dialogues in the parliament, while accusing the opposition leader of immature behaviour. The ultimate hypocrisy is that the Govt has prohibited the use of the 'hypocrisy' word in the parliament.

You didn't mention LBS 😅

The kerosene politics of Rahul Gandhi may culminate in such a tragedy unless gyani firmly show their disapproval of his inflammatory rhetoric.

Sir Please make an informative video on De dollarisation

i learned something today

Sekhar sir always there are many clutter in global scenario but purposefully confuse with many vocubalaries democrat as congress

AR 15 is more potent than an AK! SG knowledge about guns 🤡

Lovely story going back to US history

Trump soars, Biden falls.

19:41 oh my god Guptaji, that's absolute nonsense , AR-15 is NOT more potent than AK-47, its not even close. AR-15 is like your normal handgun.

Namaste sir

❤

Its not the guns but the culture ,see Switzerland

Boring. Lots off the topic. More like a history class. Speaker needs to focus on the topic

Irrelevant to title and the content.

Yes, there are way too many guns in America

Pk(prashanth Kishore) went to usa

Shakkar Gupta

I think you miss a BIG point the build up to Indian indolence and independence itself are the genesis to the polarization of the Indian society. If we close our eyes to the we can never find a solution to this now perceived polarization. Just saying.

Mr. Dragger.

Bc history session dediaa, that no ine needed. No news, just useless information

gupta-ji, stop being such a grandpa. we are not 2 year olds for your long winded stories. its wearing thin. STOP. get to the point. and save my time.

Watch movie "Civil War"

We read american history 😊

Dude as usual took 20 minutes to explain the audience about the heading he put out and never got into the matter why what when etc.. Literally took 20 minutes to prove democratic party is democratic party and Republican is Republican 😂.. sudher Jaa yaar .. put out some options suggestions etc stop this lazy ass jornelism.

Gupta ji Kya karna he trump ka idhar UPSC me hi fraud corruption he😂 ranking officer gapla krke aye he. Chale international news cover krne 🤡 hadd he

Bhai kya bole ja rahe ho ...khud hi clutter kar rahe ho

Teflon Don is Neo From the Matrix.

BJP is NOT center right party. It is far right by any measurement. Apart from its cronyism, It does have a few left economic policies but only to a limited degree.

Shh

Caso é o seguinte , precisamos evitar compartilhar casos de violências essas coisas se resolvem na justiça E todos sabemos que a justiça trabalha em silêncio Basta de violências 👍

Post indian elections, shekharji is once again blatantly leaning left. E.g. polarization started in US since Trump. And the real fact is that Trump just pointed out the polarization started under obama. We want old Shekharji back. Unbiased

Who really cares about what shekhar Gupta thinks ? His analysis is mostly stupid?

godi media.

The print on its way to show journalism bt even not knowing what meher means in Islam and publishing full blown article on recent alimony SC decision😂😂😂😂. Hope THE PRINT consults Rizwan ahmed or calls some Islamic scholar not the hypocrites one rather the truth teller one and know the meaning and only publish articles rather than just pasting the radical islamist viewpoints

Namaste sir
