Great conversations! Atul ji ...You represent the exact feelings that I have...and I suspect most of our contemporary US citizens of Indian heritage! As my friends said...once I could be out of India..but India couldn't be taken out of me! I visit India every year...I expressed my impressions of India! Needless to say we love the USA...we voted for the USA by our feet! Things people forget about Indian family values and Dharmic culture...is the foundation of our success! Indians have augmented American life in a positive way! It's a total win win play! I request you to give an interview to many many media outlets! It will be reassuring to many many young people in India! Thanks again Smita ji..I am so proud to support your channel! DJ Boston 😊

Anyone whether Indian, half Indian or foreigner recognises Bharat's rights to prosperity and aligns with Bharatiya civilisational growth and prosperity journey is always to be admired.

Smita Ji, this is truly your finest interview yet, delving into Ambassador Atul Keshap's personal life, his connections to India, his tenure in the US State Department, his involvement in the nuclear deal, his journey of answering a higher calling to lead the US India Business Council, and the fascinating tale of George Bush urging his advisors to prioritize India as a nation to build strong relationships. Your insightful questions truly brought out the best in Ambassador Atul Keshap. Thank you

Thanks to Smita Prakash for a wonderful interview with Atul Keshap! He really brought out all that is so positive in the India-U.S. relationship, particularly over the past 20 years and the shared values and trust between the 2 countries, which certainly grew during the Covid period. Very interesting to know about his family links with India. The Indian media needs more of such discussions, rather than focusing on contentious issues that do not advance the interests of a close relationship between the two biggest democracies.

Through intense and fluid Geo-political approach contain China, Pakistan, Turkey, etc. War would immensely hurt Bharat and everyone else. "Now is not the era for war"; as much as possible Bharat must remain actively defensive adhering to the Sanatan ideologies "Cosmos is one home", "All be happy, healthy, peaceful, and prosperous at the same time", "One God has become all", etc.

Exceklent indepth knowledge and passion really motivating, shows how we are in every country and doing well and never say anthing nagative about our nation! the only nagative we have is the opposition parties who are consistently spewing out nagativity and poison undermining all the positive that Manmohan singh, Modiji have done last 20 years. They just do not have a clue Nation first before self and party. But these knuckleheads will never understand. As a family we argue but never be nagative about our family (India) but to this dynastic parties country will never be first. Jai hind

Good to see two democracies building a strong relationship, being a role model for the rest of the world to follow, bringing freedom and rights with responsibility & integrity ingrained within. Room to improve? Yes, definitely but it's the right direction the two country's are traveling together. Building trust is the key and core to this relationship. 🇮🇳 ❤🇺🇸 for a prosperous and happier world where everyone can live and coexist together happily. 👍

The Constitution of Bharat must be rewritten as within the past 75 years our nation and the world have changed tremendously. Carrying on laws based upon the past colonial and slavery mindset is literally criminal. In a strongly democratic Bharat insertions like secular, socialist, etc. adjectives in the preamble of the constitution only confuse the basic principles of a true democracy.

@AnilKumar-lv1ty 3 ай бұрын

Those who do not understand at least in their minds/consciousness that one energy that creates the cosmos is addresses by innumerable names like Parambraham/Allah/God/Bhagawan/Rab/etc. Lacking this concept creates all the troubles in this world. The immortal doctrine of Sanatan dharma that God can only be realized within self thereafter seen/found anywhere else. Practicing this essential concept will bring all humanity close together resulting in peace and prosperity for all. Fortunately since the past decade Bharat is on that path of truth and unity.

@AnilKumar-lv1ty 3 ай бұрын

Firstly Bharat must arm itself adequately also making enough provisions for adequacy of supplies of weapons now and in the future in an event of war with China+Pakistan and anyone else supporting them from outside or Inside Bharat. Until then supplying free of charge expensive weaponry especially to other small nations with little resources of their own does not seem prudent. Bharat must not embark on the same journey like USA and China who only manipulated other nations to further their nefarious interests. Now in this ascending Dwapar kaal Bharat must adhere to the Sanatan ideologies "Cosmos is one home", "All be happy, healthy, peaceful, and prosperous at the same time", "One God has become all"etc.

Only the people having traitorous view against Bharat deliberately chose to be controversial in the manufactured debate, taking the stance of speaking against on the topic of "rapid all-around development of the strongly democratic Bharat under the government led by Sri Narendra Modi". Such evil views are propounded, propagated and supported by the traitorous and terroristic forces within and fostered by enemy or jealous nations, organizations or individuals. The burning examples refute the very topic of such sinister debates viz. traitorous behaviors of Rahul Gandhi aka Raul Vinci, Arvind Kejiriwal, Kisan andolan by the Khalistan separatists, existence and flourishing of jihadi Muslims, Communists, Christians, etc. in an otherwise overwhelmingly Hindu dominant country “Bharat”.
