Raisina Dialogue 2020 | South and Southwest Asia together face an uncertain future. Multiple sources of instability - US policy, China’s rise, and the scourge of state-backed terrorism - complicate the effort to develop a unified narrative for the region. Is there a growing convergence of interests that could create a more stable environment in the 2030s?
In Conversation:
Yalda Hakim, Journalist, BBC World News, Australia
Seyed Kazem Sajjadpour, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Iran
Saad Mohseni, CEO, Moby Group, Australia

To defeat American Hegemony, Indians need to become a superpower. You fight hegemony with hegemony.

@Sid well, American hegemony exists. USA has economic, cultural, military and scientific hegemony over India. US has the 5th fleet that patrols indian ocean and other oceans. Indians dont have any presence outside Indian Ocean. Also, USA doesnt want to threaten India militarily because Indians are too weak to pose a threat to their economic, scientific and cultural hegemony. But USA was against India in 1971 war against PAK where USA sent aircraft carriers into bay of bengal to intimidate India. That intimidation was the reason indira gandhi did 1974 nuclear bomb test in pokhran.

@Sid American hegemony is so ingrained into India that Indians dont even realise it. USA told India to stip importing oil from Iran. And india obeyed since USA will impose sanctions on India if they did. Also, Indians seem to forget the the GPS technology is American owned. USA can cut off GPS access to Indians if they want. Please read about GPS - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System. Americans also are the founders of Oracle, Google, microsoft, apple, facebook, whatsapp, instagram, dell, HP, netflix, amazon, walmart (which owns flipkart)

@Sid The GPS service is provided by the US government, which can selectively deny access to the system, as happened to the Indian military in 1999 during the Kargil War.

@Sid Hey kiddo - Both USA and China are threats to India returning to its lost glory. But Indians think that they are already a superpower but don't realize that their GDP/capita is only $8000 where as China is $20,000 and USA is $65,000. Indians don't produce/contribute anything for the world except 3-wheeler bajaj autos. Indians think they can trust the Americans but forget that Americans will always consider India as a junior partner in the alliance.

@Sid Lol. Why does India have to listen to USA? Iran provides crucial cheap oil to India. USA can't provide oil that cheap and India imports 80% of the oil it consumes.
