In this comprehensive geopolitics Q&A session, Abhijit discusses the significance of Taliban Foreign Minister Muttaqi's historic visit to India and the escalating tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, with the Taliban now labeling Pakistan as a terrorist nation. The episode covers the politicization of the Nobel Peace Prize as a tool for regime change operations, Japan's continued status as a US-occupied nation since 1945, and why Japanese prime ministers have little real power. Key topics include India's failure to develop indigenous tech products due to systemic issues and labor arbitrage mindset, the US deep state's origins and global influence post-WWII, China's rare earth export restrictions triggering US tariffs, and India's refusal to accept American trade demands despite pressure. The discussion extends to analyzing propaganda affecting various nations, the potential consequences of US military bases in Pakistan, India's need for educational and anti-corruption reforms, and the strategic implications of Afghanistan pivoting toward India while distancing from Pakistan. Throughout, Abhijit emphasizes India's current position of maintaining sovereignty against superpower pressure while highlighting critical internal reforms needed to prevent future vassalization, touching on everything from transport aircraft capabilities to the H1B visa system as a talent trap, and examining how historical events continue to shape current geopolitical dynamics.
In this episode of Ask Abhijit (#295), I explore fascinating questions about world and Indian history, uncovering hidden truths and challenging mainstream narratives. Topics range from the submerged landmass of Doggerland that once connected Britain to Europe, to the ancient Indian cities now lying beneath the Gulf of Khambat that predate European civilization by thousands of years. We examine why the Aryan invasion/migration theory lacks archaeological evidence, discuss the strategic differences between war elephants and cavalry in ancient warfare, analyze why Buddhist-majority regions historically converted to Islam more readily than Hindu regions, and explore why ancient India and China never became rivals despite both being superpowers. The discussion also covers the rise and fall of the Mongol Empire, Einstein's Nobel Prize controversy, the dissolution of the USSR, and how history has been weaponized as a tool of geopolitics to divide nations and peoples. Throughout, we challenge Western-centric historical narratives and examine how fake histories have been used to fragment Indian society, while highlighting India's remarkable contributions to science, mathematics, and civilization that often go unrecognized in mainstream historical accounts.
A deep dive into global geopolitics, history, and strategy: how Putin reshaped Russia, France’s colonial maneuvering, and Germany’s post-WWI trauma. India’s wars, alliances, and rise - from UNSC ambitions and Sir Creek tensions to education reform, defense R&D, and the dream of Viksit Bharat. North Korea’s eternal leadership, China’s alternate history, the dollar’s power games, Israel’s influence, and the coming AI–quantum era. We explore NATO’s future, U.S. hegemony, deep states, fiat money, Arctic routes, and the 2060 world order. Also: the decline of Western standards, the role of civic sense, and India’s quest to build its own narrative - through strength, wisdom, and vision.
