Where ever british colonized , they cleverly did put territorial disputes to fight each other to preserve western hegemony.

Xi is referring to the period of Chinese history starting with the Opium wars with Britain and then forced to give concessions of territory and trade with extortional terms to Britain, France, Germany in Shanghai and other coastal regions culminating in the brutal occupation by Japan prior to World War II. This period roughly spans 100 years upto the end of World War II. I am surprised SG is unaware of all this. As I have commented before on this channel he often talks a lot of rubbish. He is really not as informed as he thinks he is.

Mr. Gupta did not explain what the British and the Japanese did to China. Suggest viewers should read the history of Opium wars and Japanese occupation of China ..only then they would understand what "humiliation " means. There are a few documentaries on the internet on this subject.

India and China should grow together and keep friendship. I know it’s hard at this time, but these two ancient countries have a lot in common, people in both countries love peace and prosperity.

"Is it good or bad?" It certainly is good to see a country which faced humiliation by many outsiders get its act together and turn itself into a superpower - by means good, bad, or ugly. That's what happens when countries put their head down and work towards a common goal. Call China what you will, it still has performed the greatest economic miracle of recorded history. While we, on the other hand, have been steadily draining our energies over petty and mindless issues.

India doesn't have this sense of humiliation though India was colonized by the British for such a long time. Most indians if not all still treat the British as saviors.

Africa, India and other countries also suffer such a humiliation through slavery & colonisation.

We too in India should never forget our history

Learn some history: NATO bombing of embassy, P3c incident near Hainan Island etc are all very recent

China has set a 2 hundred years target to be a strong and powerful nation. India must do the same thing. This can only be achieved on your own and never expect other nations to help you and make you great particularly the US.

Allow me to add on 2 more wars that you have left out, the Sino Japanese war in 1894 resulting in the Japanese occupation of Taiwan and the Russian Japanese war in 1904 which was fought on Chinese soil.

In the clubs and restaurants in the western occupied territories of early 20th century Shanghai, it's common to see signs of "No dogs and chinese allowed"

Meanwhile RSS consider Islamic rule as millennium of humiliation and have carefully ignored humiliation under colonial rule because it suits the religious polarisation politics and beat and humiliate our own fellow Muslim citizens. Low life Hindu nationalism. No doubt India will remain a subpar nation. In reality it was British who impoverished India systematically while Islamic invasions happened during medieval period during which value system and operation of society was completely different before the emergence of nation state.

You can hate them as much as you want but you can't deny china is a great country

my parents and grand parents do still tell me about the humiliations. they were in china during the bullied period of china. thet were forced to leave china in search of opportunity in order to survive and to feed their families in china.

If China has had a century of humiliation, India has had two centuries of humiliation. Starting from when Battle of Plassey in 1757, to the end of the British Raj in 1947, each Indian state, King, Commander, Noble, fell apart one by one to a foreign expanding economic and military force of the European companies that used all possible political tools at disposal to destroy its opponents, a total humiliation that lasted 190 years. It is almost required that we learn our lesson from the Chinese. It’s not cultural power or soft power that is of any use really. Too many Indians today in this climate of Hindu Nationalism think about “saving our culture”. At the end of the day, all power is economic and military. The US isn’t a great power because of its Christian culture, but because of the likes of Intel, AMD, Google, Facebook, General Electric. In that same way, China’s power derived from its industrial companies and giants like Alibaba and Tencent. There is no skipping industrialisation like many Indian political leaders mistakenly believe. You cannot move from agriculture to services directly, which is what modern India has done.

I have spent long time in China , they do remember Japanese treating them badly trying biological and chemical weapons on chinese people . This used to run often on their news apart from it nothing much , they don't talk about anything else just business and entrepreneurship . And business success stories

China fought west, india bowed to West that's the reason... And still india keeps bowing

One thing I see in the comments section is that many of us do have great respect for such a country that has come all this way from point zero, despite hate.

The problem is that Indians don't feel ashamed for being humiliated by the west. The cast belief taches the Indians that high class people such as the western people are deserving to lead and humiliating the Indians people.

Maybe like Chinese Indians should remember their humiliation by imperialist forces as well. We were plundered and exploited much harder and much longer than Chinese were. Who made the unanimous decision that Indians forgave Westerners for 300 years of humiliation.

Good to see some countries and its people have pride.

The first issue in India’s relations with China is its own mentality. Second, and most importantly, India does not have a strategist like China’s Deng Xiaoping. Today’s Indian Modi is basically a nationalist with no strategic vision. After he took office, a series of actions were populists. The nature of the Sino-Indian border conflict in recent years is that the Modi government’s attempt to divert the domestic crisis. Nationalism has now become its political correctness and political need in India, which is inherently dangerous for India's own interests. At the beginning of China’s reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping set out to promote Sino-Japanese relations. He proposed that China should humbly learn from Japan. China sent a large number of cadres from various provinces to Japan to visit and study. Not only that, Deng Xiaoping also went to Singapore to ask Premier Lee Kuan Yew for advice. Singapore has set up a professional training school for this purpose. This school has trained hundreds of middle-level management cadres in Chinese cities until 2010. It is precisely because China humbly learned and consulted other countries that China's modernization process developed rapidly. To be precise, at the beginning of China's reform and opening up, Japan and Taiwan, as well as Singapore, had the most substantial help to China. Anyone who understands the historical relationship between China and Japan makes it clear to you that China and Japan are feuds. This cannot be ended with a single apology from Japan. I even believe that after the full rise of China, one day in the future, China will completely liquidate this historical account of Japan. And cross-strait relations are also politically hostile relations, just like fire and water. Singapore is the most anti-communist Southeast Asian country during the Cold War era. Singapore and Taiwan have inextricably linked relations. It can be said from why Singapore was the last country in Southeast Asia to establish diplomatic relations with China. But Mr. Deng Xiaoping used a long-term strategic vision to look at everything, embrace them from the angle that is most in line with the interests of the Chinese country and the Chinese people, and let the Chinese people humbly learn from Japan and Singapore. This is not a political slogan or political speculation, but an opening to the outside world. Put it into action and open to the outside world in an all-round way. Even when the color revolutions planned by the United States and the West occurred in China in 1989, Deng Xiaoping still emphasized never changing the policy of opening to the outside world. Frankly speaking, Modi and his government in India have no such courage and elegance. They are completely kidnapped by Indian nationalism. This should be considered self-defeating and self-inflicted.

The humiliation began with the imposed Opium War. They remember not just the Jews of Calcutta who ran the trade. The remember the British gunboat diplomacy and war. They remember that British Indian Sepoys did the fighting and occupation of them on behalf of the British. They remember the various European powers obscenity prior to the Boxer uprising and the later Japanese invasion. Wish that Indians also developed memory of their own humiliation rather than the amnesia and Gora veneration!

maybe the CCP is harsh to the people but they managed to eliminate poverty. money matters in the end.

I think most non-Western countries can relate to that part of the history. After all, we were all once a victim of colonialism.

Ever since Muhammud bin Qasim invaded Sindh, we Indians are being humiliated. The only difference is that the humiliaters are different. After the caliphates, it was the Turks, then the British, and now big tech. We never seem to learn from history. More than a millennium of humiliation!!!!

The existence of Hong Kong is the best concrete example of the past bullying and humiliation by foreign forces.

In order to understand China, I recommend Prof. Kishore Mahbubani's talks. He is a former ambassador of Singapore to the UN and the founding dean of Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore.

similar feeling needs to be instilled in indians as well. We have faced atrocities for far too long. Need to instill a sense of greater good towards making India great again

One of those rare days when CTC is that early! Excellent choice for CTC... was waiting for it

I support China. Atheism is great .

The party with people centered philosophy, deliver the goods and keep the wolves at bay is all that count. That is the greatness CPC and its legitimacy.

I love the Chinese,, The humiliation that the rest of world suffered under the west colonialism must not be forgotten,

It is a well known maxim that those who forget the history are condemned to repeat it. India has forgotten its recent history and has forgiven the erstwhile colonial rulers. Besides, we have let Marxist and the western influenced scholars tamper with our history. We have forgiven Jallianwala Bagharia massacre, Bengal famine of 1940s created by Churchill. So, India is not respected in the world. If only China had joined hands with India instead of Pakistan, together they could have broken the western hegemony.

One controls the present controls the past because the winner has the privilege to explain and even decorate the history. However the one who learned the lessons in the past and keep history deeply in mind will be able to win the future. That's how I understand it.

chinese choose forgive, but not forget; india choose forgive and forget.

What a pleasant surprise! Early #CTC episode!! 🤩 Excellent diagnosis of CCP, brilliant episode as always 💙

Peace to the world. India and China should seat down and negotiate borders lines. China, Russia and Vietnam have successfully workout their borders issues.

India can never be China but we can definitely become a progressive developed country without becoming superpower 🙄🙄🙄

In India political parties try to become the face of a religion, but in China CCP party is the religion 😎 😎

It's videos like these that cover foreign affairs that make me like CTC the most. Keep going SG😎👍🏻

India was humiliated for over 400 years by the British Raj. This is nothing compared to the Chinese. :D

Looks like Guptaji saw yesterday's CTC comment section. People's demand has been met ✌️

Correction: Not the World fear, is the World Respect to China

Old saying: "You can't beat him if you can't hit him. You can't face him,if you can't stand up".

No idea why humiliation and slaughtered so easy forgotten by India. Perhaps have to review your historical records

Modi also exploits our feeling of HUMILIATION we have suffered at the hands of Muslim and Christian rulers for 1000 years. we vote for him primarily because he is taking revenge for this HUMILIATION we have suffered

Curious to know what's in your book collection Shekar..

Not just in History, for example today’s Taiwan issue, DiaoYu Island issue with Japan etc.

Us imposed semiconductor sanctions on China... This the bullying part

China is with Pakistan not because of any love. The day India and China become partners, Pakistan will fall off the radar in a day. So, third point is not valid. India and China were two most powerful nations for hundreds of years without fighting any war. There were many documented cultural exchanges during Maurya and Gupta periods. They taught us how two nations can remain powerful without waging war. On the contrary, look at the history of last 200 years. Any two or three top powers (primarily European and American) are always fighting either directly or indirectly. So, please stop villainizing China all the time and provide a solution how these two nations can become friends and partners. If Indian leaders had 10% of China's nationalism instead of faking it, Indian would have crossed 15 trillion dollar economy by now. By this time I think we all understand that ThePrint may play between pro-BJP and pro-Congress stand alternately and try to pose as neutral, but ThePrint is definitely pro-American without any doubt. Feel free to delete the comment.

We Chinese are complaining about the current world order. You may not have noticed, after the WW2, the only countries that have achieved significant growth and become developed and wealthy are those that are of significant stratigic value to that of the US. Western Europe's revival was due to American investment and they were there to counter the Soviet Union. Japan and South Korea were also invested and helped by the US to counter the influnce of the Soviet Union, China and North Korea.Under this world order, developing countries will forever making shirts and socks for the developed countries inexchange for their value-less currency. This is not fair. In terms of the resouce side, countries like Australia also makes tremendous amount of money for being the cloeset provider in the Asia Pacific. This is an exploition of the system.

SG when you say who is bullying China? You knew who is policeman of the world but don’t want to say.

Thanks SG, I have a new found respect for the Chinese now. I wish we Indians were more like them. It's sad that we have forgotten our humiliations of the past while they haven't.

My suggestion: learn more about Chinese history before you talk about it to avoid embarrassing. At least show some professionalism

Mr Gupta's explanation is fair without prejudice (I didn't notice any) in this video. If every major powers in the world act rationally, then we can let our guard down, but the reality is some Western powers harboured White supremacy complex (even Japan which sees itself as a White race) and an unbridled capitalist greed. They intend on dominating and exploiting the others especially China, a non-democratic country which they won't admit, hence China needs to be strong, vigilant and remind her people to avoid making the same mistake and cause untold sufferings for generations. But other countries need not be concerned as China's posture is strictly defensive and their motive solely daily bread and butter. I'm a Chinese diaspora and can say that many older generations Chinese outside China also held the same view and distrust of the West and Japan. Those who forgot history would tend to repeat the same mistakes. The wise political analysts in the world can see the hands of the West in creating social unrest in China and around the world in order to achieve their agenda.

Why does this guy talk about the 20+ million people that were lost in WW2 or the wars that ended up in the 14 unequal treaties like it was not that big a deal? Did India suffer that type of loss? 14 unequal treaties including those from the US (most favored nation clause). Where does this sense of humiliation come from? It comes from our elder's man!! Some are still alive to give first-hand accounts. The rest can be seen from pictures from WW2, ruins left behind by colonial powers (Summer Palace), written treaties in museums and archives. Maybe India should look at their past and they will see some humiliation of their own at the hands of the British. Why bow to the western powers like in the past? I don't understand this guy. India is as old as China. What's 120 years is like compared to 2,500 years of history. It's like last week! Of course Chinese will remember it. Chinese have records that go back thousands of years!! You don't think they will remember 120 years when it was the most dismal, humiliating time in Chinese history? I think all Chinese know the last 120 years! Get a clue man...

Would it be a good idea for India to have a neutral, positive opinion about China?

hi SG, a small addition to end of Mughal rule, it was brought upon them by the maratha confederacy. Sure the british were there around..but there is around few decades between Marathas losing power to british. i am a regular viewer though...not a troll :D

India has been colonized by the British for nearly two hundred years. They are not ashamed, but proud of it, which is also puzzling. How humble Indians should be in front of Westerners!

Will India too in future learn to use enormous young human resources like China, for the progress of youth and for country's economic growth. Aren't we squandering precious human resources by giving them sub standard education

I am sure that Gupta ji, you have studied the books by Kishore Mahbubani. A complete awareness about Chinese history and people and how they progressed. The recent success is how they contolled their millions of lives due to complete and hard and disciplined control for which their people follow with good intentions . Please also see the book has the China won. Great regards from Pakistan. It is interesting that Deng Z. Ping Worked in early seventies for construction of Heavy mechanical complex in Taxila, Pakistan. He was a hardworking mechanical Engineer.

The history taught in Indian textbook about India is also wrong so we don't know our own history

China has come long way.good stuff. great achievement.lets have some competition with west.

Our humiliation period was too long... It's around 500 years... From Mughals to Britishers...

If one would read how the Chinese were treated by the Japanese during world war 2 period , Nanking massacre, etc , and did not get even a decent apology from Japan with the rest of the world supporting the same , one can understand where they are coming from ..

India missed its development train during the latter half of the 70s. It was also during the same time that we strayed away from the path of DEMOCRACY. China's success may seem big and there will be calls to replicate it. Democratic despite its flaws is the most appropriate form for India. However, it can certainly use a "Transperancy+Accountability" upgrade. So far, all whether you call them Right-Left, Liberal-Conservative, Secular-Non Secular, etc have a "gentlemen's agreement" to not implement them.

Well, we actually had two centuries of humiliation. But I remember FM Jaishankar once said that if India rises, it will not take revenge for those two centuries, but will take necessary steps so that something of that sort doesn't happen ever again.

It's been 100 years of CCP's formation, but only some 70 some years of CCP rule.

IIM Indore has a China study program for students in its IPM course

According to China’s standards, if China’s 1840 to 1949 as “century of humiliation”, India’s colonialization by British is “2 centuries of humiliation”. Plus, in China’s century of humiliation, China had NEVER been fully colonized by the West, unlike Indian experience. Of course, Indian ruling elites feeling towards British colonialists is Not totally negative, because without British colonialists, there wouldn’t exist the current India the country. For Indians, western colonialists not only bring “humiliation”, but also “the glory of grand India” So what we understand about India is not that bad. The genes between China and India are quite different.

I honestly admire Indians for choosing to forgive and forget and working together toward a better future! Holding grudges on a past that can never be changed will only hold back and single you out coz we are interdependent on this earth, there’s no forever enemy!

The comments section touches a lot on India's humiliations. Every country without exception has faced bad times and humiliations. China and India are not the only ones. We have to just move on improve our lot. No point in constantly remembering our so called humiliations. What matters is this: what are we learning our lessons and how we are improving our lot.

Indian audience don't understand why xijinping says that China will never be bullied or suppressed again because they regard China as a powerful country. Please be aware that xijinping is not sending the warning to India, but to the West. Because China's century of humiliation is caused by the West, including Japan and Russia. Reflecting on the 19-20th century, China always regards India as a counterpart victim of West colonialism, and due to this similar experience of suffering, Nehru and zhou enlai felt naturally bond with one another.

Sir! George Orwell wrote this quote in "1984", a dystopian novel depicting authoritarian Communist regime as next to hell on earth, however economic progress of Chinese regime and most importantly, the way they have emancipated their huge population out of poverty simply negates the vision of the great author.

I used to work with an indian friend of mine i asked him about india and pakistan and suddenly he started explain with tears on his eyes pak and india comes from same the roots west parted the country apart and seed them with hate between brothers India an pak (China as well) should make peace and squash the past for a better future instead of building walls between them I just imagine that triangle will be great Hope this video is an eye opener about breaking the colonial chain and not being bullied never again Peace and prosperity for all

Glad to see this video which helps us understand our most important neighbour! Looking forward to seeing more on China…crucial to understand their on going impact on us…

Ip man coming to my mind after hearing this stories☺️

Don't you think that by give and take India should sort out the boundry issue? China did that with Russia long back. If India and China becomes partners, it would become win win situation. Not joining RCEP is also a big mistake by India.

Technically, at least in the Chinese discourse, the Chinese Century of Humiliation was over in 1949 when CCP took control of mainland China. Taiwan was not given the UNSC seat, but the KMT(by Chiang kai) was considered the legitimate representative of mainland China even though they lost to the CCP and were 'exiled' in Taiwan. So, Taiwan considered itself a part of China until Chiang and KMT were in power (this has changed RN). While SG has highlighted a part of the Chinese Humiliation, it's a bit deeper. For one, China has quite a lot of 'continuation' from the time of imperial China (culturally, politically, ethnic inclusion, etc.). Two, in the imperial era, the Chinese followed something known as the 'tianxia' discourse, where China was considered as the 'center of the world,' and the rest, who were not part of Imperial China or did not have relations with them were considered as 'Yi'(barbarians - the meaning actually changed from barbarian to foreigner or equivalent according to the dynasty which was in power). The Chinese civilization was so advanced that even the west wanted to recognize the Chinese as 'sovereign equal' (which was the thing back then, after the treaty of Westphalia), but for China, they were the center of the world, and they wanted the west to be 'under them' (as in politically China did not see them as 'equals'), and so rejected this. Skipping quite a lot, this led to the Opium wars, etc. Before the opium wars, many of the Confusion cultured states (India is not a part of them, has never been, which can be one of the reasons why we are seen as culturally different from China, as SG was saying) had hierarchical relations with China (as in, kinda under them). Still, as they lost the first opium war, the economic troubles kicked in. Then the Taiping rebellion, etc. resulted in the Qing dynasty losing control, and then big havoc began where regional leaders and regional powers (even in the core ethnic 'Huns' were separated according to regions) became way more powerful. The center lost its grip, and a feudal type system was in place( which had never happened. Before, even if a dynasty falls, the winners usually continue the Chinese 'tianxia' discourse and establish a new empire and no division or even change of political ideology). So, China was divided, and it lost 15% or so of its vast empire by 1911 (my numbers might be aa bitt off, but you get the point right). The traditional confusion ideology that says that a ruler should rule with 'virtue' not force, and the peace in society was completely dismantled. Fast-forwarding events - the KMT set to unify China, they fail, CCP Fight with Chiang who takes over the KMT then against them, CCP wins under Mao and unifies China in 1949 according to its status in 1911(not 1949)(almost unifies, due to Taiwan and Hongkong - pending unification), then the establishment of the PRC. There is great importance attached to this century of Humiliation. Especially since Xi took over. important changes include China moving away from the 'laying low' policy to being a 'responsible power'. As SG explains, there is a rise in nationalism and mobilization (which is not fully state-controlled like before). In fact, Xi's first public speech was 'China Dream' - focusing on the national 'rejuvenation' in the symbolic 'National Museum of China' along with the politburo members( do check it out, its symbolism is fascinating). The thing about china is the Party does not exist to control China - they are not delegated responsibility like in the west or in India, but rather CCP is seen as the founder. So it is a party state, which is why the one-party system for us is bizarre, and for them,..they accept it. So, the politicization of people is considered important to reach its new goals, so China now places excessive importance on its history. (In my opinion, the China India border issue is not a historically significant thing for them, it's more strategic, if it is so significant the Chinese would never compromise, like Taiwan or Hongkong). So, the new consciousness among the Chinese, Chinese International policy shift, Emphasis on politicization, new goals by Xi jin ping, Xi Jin Ping's excessive centralization inside the party are all somehow related to this 'Century of Humiliation' - which is seen to have disrupted the Chinese society and history( of course it is not the only reason, but they are related, get the point?) Okay, I am not sure if that was clear, but......that's the best I can do to cut short two hours of explanation to a youtube comment :/ I am not SG. Lol.

China''s century of humiliation has similarities to India's humiliation during colonial days. India's skilled craftsmen weavers had their thumbs smashed that craft is focused in Britain. Churchill diverting food supplies and forced millions in India to starve knowingly but refuse to compromise And atrocities on Indian peaceful protestors n on on. But today, India still prop past colonial masters thinking things have changed. But can westerners' corridors of power be trusted. Look around the world, on the trail of destruction or impovrishment of entire nations that resist selling out to the corporate West.

According to him the treaties China was forced into following defeats in the Opium Wars was not humiliating to China. 60 years from 1842 to 1901 conveniently forgotten.

A Day without Cut the clutter is a blank.

The point about territorial boundaries, I was making to my fellow Indians, but it falls on deaf ears. These boundaries are drawn by Imperialist powers. Hence they should be abrogated/annuled. China is a wounded tiger whose pride was mercilessly trampled upon by western scumbags. They were minding their own business and the western powers invaded them, ruefully, with our help. We were the ones where the opium was grown and exported to china leading to the depredation of China. Our soldiers used to patrol the occupied Chinese territories on behalf of the British (which led to chinese nicknaming us 'asan'). Chinese people have more or less forgiven all of these misdeeds by us and we should be large hearted enough to give legitimate Chinese territories back. It would serve us better to join hands with the Chinese instead of subscibing to fanciful notions of democracy and again joining the imperialist forces just as we did in the past. If Germany sought revenge after the imposition of Versailles treaty, I see no reason why the Chinese shouldn't seek revenge after the unfair treaties imposed upon them post boxxer rebellion. India and China should join hands and nuke the UK. What goddamn business is it of ours if China is a Democracy, Theocracy or a Capitalist or a communist country, we should mind our own business.

A very balanced analysis thank you for a wonderful job

China is great country and Economic superpower of the world. World should learn from China.

I see the print huge success compared with the global times in terms of the subscribers and most importantly the unbiased news

Shekhar sir you're looking sharp today! Wonderful to see you in good vigour and passion in your talk

Mr Sekhar Can u Please post a detailed picture of library in the background . Just wanted to know what books do you read

Fact check : There was a gap of century between fall of Aurangzeb and rise of East india company. In 18 th century Maratha's controlled most of India. Mughals and then Britishers , it's easy to say and sadly that's how most of Indians know it. This is very important to correct because as you rightly quoted "Those who control past control the future"

Damn China’s globalisation in late 70s I guess helped it a lot, let’s hope in 2-3 decades india also becomes a formidable force

Beautifully explained. Never knew this.

While China educates their young about their history we in India fail to do the same. The humiliation we had was far worse with murders like Jalian Wala Bagh, murder of Lala Lajpat Rai, torture of freedom fighters like V O Chidamabram, Subramanya Siva and others. We do not even teach our children about these atrocities done to people residing in the South. We do not educate about the freedom fighters in the South like Veena Pandia Kattabomman about whom a film was made in Tamil and won the International Prize in Cairo. Nasser saw this and was impressed but our own PM did not watch it and did not know anything about it that Nasser had to educate him on that. Still Nehru did not care. That is the state we have in India. What a contrast with China. Shashi Taroor had given a speech at the Oxford University about the harm done to India and yet we do not have a single museum about the harm done to us by the 200 years of British rule. When we do not know the past we suffer. It is time India starts learning about our history especially of the South. While every Indian knows about Rani of Jhansi, Lala Lajpat Rai very few Indians in the North knows about VVS Iyer, Subramanya Siva, V O Chidambaram or even Kamaraj Nadar or Rajaji. Every Indian knows about Bhagat Singh but how many Indians know about Van chinathan who did the same killing a Collector in revenge for their action in India. Such neglect does not contribute to the Unity of India. We need education about our past, our cultural heritage, our sufferings under the British etc. WE NEED TO OPEN A MUSEUM ON THE SUFFERINGS WE HAD AS A NATION UNDER THE BRITISH. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SASHI TAROOR IS APPOINTED TO HEAD THIS MUSEUM PLANNING BASED ON THE LECTURES I HEARD BY HIM. THIS IS NOT A PARTY AFFAIR BUT A NATIONAL ONE WHERE WE MUST ALL UNITE.

Gotta love how SG just deleted Shivaji out of India's history. No shit we are such a lost people.

Waiting for an off the cuff with Subramanian Swamy

As far as boundaries are concerned we could have gone, atleast, back in the history up to reign of Samrat Lalitaditya Muktapida.

Thankful for this Cut the Clutter content.

Kerala (CPM, CPI) congratulate Chinese Communist Party on centenary, applaud Xi Jinping and China. With Chinese investment - Kerala can retain 1 position in future.
