professor kishore mahbumani is always bold and clear .I never saw him so angry and assertive .Lots of love professor .

Ever wondered why India never released any videos on the deadly border incident? China recently released a video and it showed: - Indian troops fully armed with riot gear and hand held weapons - Indian troops swarming Ng across the river to begin the Attack - 2 PLA soldiers unarmed and unequipped with protective gear tried to persuade the Indians to stop - these 2 were the first to be attacked So the Indians started the conflict but play victim

Indian should listen to Mr. Kishore I know in the heat of moment every Indian is angry with China but if India wants better future it should settle disputes with its neighbours, USA is only going to use India for its own benefits and will leave when needed.

I have never seen such a delicacy and strength of argument. Kudos to Prof. Kishore Mahbubani against these arrogant anti-china warmongers!

OMG, I never see Kishore Mahburani is so fired up. Kishore brings up a very good argument: PM Marendra Modi said no one entered India territory. That is another way saying India army was the intruder, the fight broke out on the Chinese side of LAC. Get it?

With due respect to the participants on your show, they forgot the killings of human beings by USA in AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, VIETNAM, and KOREA will never be forgotten by Countries suffered at the hands USA. USA being a super power has lost every war they started. They had to pack up and leave Korea and Vietnam. They are stuck in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The only reason China attained its rise is because it worked extremely hard at it. It has earned its right and that must be respected and India too can rise but not by trying to join the containment team of the loosers but by working just as hard.

First time I see Kishore losing his cool. But as always, he is full of wisdom, I think the world will do better if the leaders read his books.

Kishore hit the nail on the head. India must think for India first, and not as an ally to this or that. And India must grow up.

This is not a debate. The host and some of its guests are more interested in bashing Kishore . It's very clear what their agenda is right form. The beginning. The host has been nothing but insulting and condescending towards him right from the start. What a joke this whole thing is. Kishore is right to be furious.

The moderator is supposed to moderate, not gang up with the other two, perhaps he's afraid of the Hindu nationalists targeting him. 1 vs 3 debate is unfair by any standard but Kishore did an awesome job.

"Your prime minister had said no Indian territory had been taken". One line from Kishore completely devastates Rahul and permanently puts him in his proper place making him a complete idiot. Just look at his face - utterly speechless! That's what happens when a half-baked rookie who doesn't know what he's talking about takes on a learned professor.

I respect Kishore, and I think he is right

China is forging economic partnerships with ASEAN, Africa, Central Asian republics, Russia, Africa and the EU through the Belt and Road initiative. By neglecting to participate in BRI and RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership), India appears to be well-focused on containing its own rise.

I never see mr.kishore so angry.he is calm figur

Very clearly, the 2 Indians are very much driven by emotion, impulsiveness and pre-conceived notions whereas Kishore talks facts, data and rationale. The white chap's agenda is obviously to antagonize and inflame the situation, to divide and conquer. Kishore is a Singaporean of Indian ancestry. He was Singapore's ambassador to the US n United Nation, President of the UN Security Council, Dean of Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore. He's one of Singapore's foremost strategic thinker trusted and respected by Lee Kuan Yew. He certainly knows what he's talking about. Being from Singapore, Kishore does not take sides when asked for his views on geopolitic matters. He speaks his mind n what he believes is true. Kishore has learnt much from Lee Kuan Yew who will tell you what he believes is true, not what you want to hear. Lee too posseses incredible political foresight and international leaders including every sitting US president had sought his views and opinion on world affairs especially on China. Kishore also enjoys a strong reputation for his knowledge n wisdom on international relations. The best universities, think-tanks, eminent academics n politicians have been seeking his counsel because they see the value and merits in his advice.

Kishor understand China better as he researches China everyday. Not like the US guy who wish to see the conflict between China and India. That would be tragic.

Mr. Kishore, take care and stay healthy.

Salute to Prof. kishore for enduring that BS

Am reading Mr Kishore's book. An eye opener.

I have never seen Kisore this mad! Mearsheimer is supposed to be an academic but he here acts more like a diplomat trying to pull India into the US side. The other Indian guy, well I can understand where he is coming from. But the moderator completely failed in his role, he made this “discussion “ three against one.

I m with Kishore Madhubani statement that India should do on its own rather than taking help from other countries.

Poor Kishore. Come to China, u are welcome. Also welcome to Indian friends to visit China. Peace is important for commoners, do not get manipulated by politicians.

US simply cannot accept any other countries getting stronger (last time was Russia and Japan. Now is China. Future will be India). Surprisingly see Prof Kishore lost his temper but you are one of my most admire figure.

Let India live in its own dream for another 10 year.

Sameer Saran is talking from both sides of his mouth, on one hand he says every country should pursue its own interest and India will do the same. So why complain when Pakistan and China choose to pursue their own interest with each other?

I look down this anchor because he pushes his position at the opening and closing statements. Why not let audiences decide which panelists they are believed in?

Mearsheimer conveniently left out the realities of the past. US did not win WW2, the Russian did by beating back Nazi Germany. The US did not win the Korean War, China did by beating back the UN forces led by the US. Who beat the Japanese? The Chinese did by beating back the Japanese and thereafter the US dropped two bombs into Japan and claimed victory. Japan was beaten by then but the US nevertheless dropped those bombs to scare the Russians. Mearsheimer is playing a mind game by encouraging India to fall into the US orbit when India is allemotionalabout the conflict with China. That would be a tragic mistake for India. Mahbubani is correct to suggest India should manitain its non-alignment principle and do what's best for India. As it is, India aligning with US had already aroused the suspicion of the Russians who have had friendly relations with India for many decades. The US had always made use of the divide and rule tactic and dumped the country when their use is no more relevant to the US. To wit: US made use of Iran until the fall of the Shah. Likewise, US supported Iraq and Saddam Hussain and got it to fight Iran which ended in ruins for both. What happened then? US is off to do other damage to maintain its global hegemonic primacy. Does US ever won any war? In Afghanistan, after 20 years, it had to negotiate with the Taleban, so did US won? Likewise in Iraq, US have now been told by Iraq to get out. How about Vietnam? Well did US won or lost? The Quad is a joke, why bother to bring that up? India should draw lessons from history. The more immediate one is how US through Kissinger and Nixon secretly contacted China to established relation with them. The objective? To contain Soviet Union and put a wedge between China and Russia. Today, China has caught up and in US mentality, pose a peer threat. You are now watching how US fabricate lies and create conflicts to contain China. US did the same to Japan when Japan was in the ascendant. US could restrain Japan because they were Japan's master having dropped 2 atomic bombs on them but US cannot and will not be able to contain China.These are not speculations but historical facts like it or not.

Kishore Mahbubani speaks sense and has a pragmatic view on India China relationship. One point which is obvious is that, India has to grow in all respect and protect its own interests first before entering into any ally with others... A very nuanced aporoach from India is expected in these difficult times...

Kishore Mahbubani is after all Indian from heart and he talks sense.

Support Kishore all the way.

I would vote for Mr Mahbubani for US president in a heart beat. He's the most articulate, intelligent person out there.

Kishore seems very much speaking the truth..., past, present and future view

Rahul, John, and Saran in favor of Indo-US alliance VS Kishore for strategic autonomy for Indian

the us worried about it cann't contain china by himself, so he courage the other nations to fight with to maintain theus's interest. so funny.

Your Prime Minister Has said that no Indian territory has been taken😅 Mr. Kishor It's Was Excellent Among the three selfish ones, Mr. Kishore is the only one who speaks rationally and impartially ... You have won Mr. Kishore F....k...ing Indians Never Understand That Mr. Kesor What Try To say..... India Have To Understand...... America can never be a good friend, as it has been proven once again in the case of Galwan and Ladakh incidence... I personally want China and India to rule the world together Love From Bangladesh 🇨🇳🇮🇳

Totally agree with Kishore, you hit the nail on the head

@Kishore : I hate you because you always talk TRUE 🙏Thanks my dear fellow Indian

Useless anchor! Almost uses the same "Arnab" style moderator approach with an international panel.

What’s the reason for the Us interrupt Asia business? If there is a war between CHN and INA,what will the US do?sell weapon?After the war what will be left for both people?

In my assessment India had accepted the role to disrupt BRI & CPEC in line with wishes of competing western powers, accordingly embarked on military preparations in Ghalwan valley with potential to disrupt KKH - through heliborne operations. Indian military buildup in Ghalvan valley, a serious step in present day GREAT GAME full of repercussions in our region. Do not mess with china, instead concentrate on poverty alleviation within borders - McMohan line drawn unilaterally during British rule has never been accepted by China, so you have to draw mutually agreed demarcation of the boundaries. China will not allow this misadventure.

If,a very big IF, India can overcome their hatred for China,the virtue of it will make India a great nation!

Kishore Mahbubani got the point,Inidan has been insulted by the West for 200 years, and he is still respectful to the West today，just look at Africa ,with their ability ,their can help Africa get out of pooverty.both India and Africa just tools for western ,don't fall into that trap

Mr.Kishore Mahubani is of Indian descent. He will never want India bad...Seeing the mentality of the Indians, I understood that the radish that America hung in the name of super power has started working in front of India🤣

If fighting between Dragon and Elephant, who is happy, the eagle.

I think India will becoming second largest economy in the world, I can't imagine what US do to India of the prospect becoming number three. India should keep calm and drink coffee and think best interest of itself by balancing relationship not just only US but China also. India should reflect in the past 2 years why China becoming aggresive toward India.

I am here to give Mr Kishore 100 like, because he is just. For MrJohn his idea is partial, denied the truth.

Respect to Kishore!

With due respect to Rahul Kanwal, when you invite seasoned people to your show, the least you could do is try to be not provocative. This is not a war for one side to win and for another to lose. It’s just an intellectual conversation. Please be respectful to everyone even if they are seemingly incorrect and let them correct themselves.

KISHORE SIR GOOD POINT OF VIEW I AM HAPPY THAT THERE IS SOMEONE WHO THINKS ABOUT FUTURE

Well done, Mr Kishore. For your sanity and health, please stay away from such media.

He is right that emotion is running too high, seeing the anti comments.

India today should publish a transcript of this debate - this is very useful for scholars who are keen on studying Indo -china in the 21st century

Mehbubani has a point!

Kishore was right that China was number 1 in the world for over 1800 years except since 200 years ago when the West started to get ahead because of colonialization and technology advancement. China to be number 1 in the world in terms of economy is just a matter of time. US will not happy to see a strong China and therefore will do her best to prevent China from becoming the number 1 power. India has always been friendly with US and the European powers due to her ambition to become a permanent member of the Security Council of the United Nations. However, if India does not eliminate her caste system, no country in the world will want to accept India as their leader.

Kishore is the few thinker in this region. If politicians in Asia listened to him, the unjust world order with the old colonial powers at the peak is to be changed. Indian and China should learn to control their problem and work together. Otherwise, Asia is to continute to be controlled and exploited by the US and other advanced countries.

Overall i like the discussion,very interesting

Only Kishore talks with a logic and his point of views are to the point and very true

John is a wise man. Very rational.

Strong points all around! Kishore’s emphasizes every nation should look after its own interest comes deep from his belief of every person to look after his individual interest.. I can see the strong business self promoting side of him.

After looking at Kishore, Please don't disagree with the people with heart attack risk 😂

As a Chinese ethnic residing in Malaysia, i would like to see China help India with their problem. That is the righteous value in which taught by our ancestors - 以德报怨

This is the first time I have seen such an sensible, blunt political debate on India Today channel. Neither the host nor the guests were driven by emotion or impulse. I have never heard of Mr. Mahbubani, where was he educated and is he Indian citizen? He is unbelievably calm, intelligent.

Why Rahul so keen for War at time when we are not prepared. Learn from China how to become powerful with Investment from all its enemies.

India been close to the United States even before this happened. The United states would love to have India as it’s doormat just like the British did.

Mahbubani is great......100% true.

Ironically, Dr Kishore's undignified rants on this India Talk Show has brought more people to his viewpoint than in a traditional lecture hall!

India must act based on past US history in dealing with other nations. US means business goal not other party's long interest.

Mr Kishore says forget about border,think about environment what a funny man he is , typical communist &universal citizen !

I found this conversation informative. I wonder whether further tensions between India and China have implications for BRICS

You guys need to learn how to live peacefully with your neighbors if you really wants to prosper and compete

What a phenomenal panelist..Hope to see more vibrant talks like these top minds

Kishore Mahbubani's participation could have been constructive if he were not to have been defending the contents of his book. Vested interest!

Very frank to you: you are talking about China every day; China has already forgotten who is India. No one is babbling about China-India dispute. By the way, don't try to drag Hong Kong and Taiwan into your talk points. India can play no role in Hong Kong and Taiwan issues, even though US does. India is not US.

I agree with John Mearsheimer for his sound analysis in a gentle way for human sensitivity and natural aliance for survival. Well done

I say we boost our economy, military, and people of India who are no less than other country. More the economy grows people will respect us.

This was a very nice conversation to watch in order to understand different geopolitical views and what the future may hold.

China offered India a joint One Belt option but it was declined in the deep rooted hatred against Pakistan. Now I think China has every right to protect her interests. For India the only way out is peaceful reapproachment with China less they keep losing territorial options.

Both India and China together can rise and change the world.

The way rahul kanwal cuts the argument of a panelist is really disturbing

Wow.... John Mearsheimer on india Today

hongkong and taiwan is totally different situation from the border with india. all the people knows what he really means.

While all the panelists are confident about their points of view and no one is gonna change the others' positions, China is simply ignoring all those noises negative about it and focusing its time and energy on building itself like what it has been doing in the past forty years. Debate doesn't help anything in getting countries better and stronger coz politicians have done more than any panelists already. If you just enjoy yourself in a sentiment of Anti China and not concentrate on hard work, you are going to get disappointed again and again.

Kishore is Chinese stooge.

Samir is perfectly right it is China to decide and not twist India's arm

You tried your best Kishore. Unfortunately, Indian media and US analysts bullshit too much... Kishore is the only rational realist in this debate.

It is hard to believe that mehbubani is author. He is preposterously changing focus from on hand threat with cooperative issues.

Kishore just realised he’s not on Arnabs channel...😂😂 Yes ..there’s no thing called trust in global politics..India should build itself up atleast to protect intself from China or any outside force and not rely on USA or any other country..

On of the best debates I have seen in recent times. Very balanced & very informative. Well done Rahul.

Samir saran is all over the place. This is not a discourse. Kishore is excellent and John is bias

Obviously, Some Speakers here haven't enough historical and international knowledges.pls try to know, the bias and injustice attitude to China Will result in not only hurting China but also hurting your india too.And you can see the westerners and Asian speakers have different view about Asian affairs. Why?Because Asian people love asia and westerners don't.

In the near term India needs to ensure allied relationships get stronger, USA, UK, Australia, Japan, South Korea and some southeast Asian countries come to mind. Meanwhile in the midterm, alongside these cultivated relationships, India needs to strengthen from the Inside to ensure if any of its new found close friends decide to jump ship, India would still be able to stand alone. Basically, get strong economically, militarily, culturally and continue to make friends with who is willing to help. India needs to be very careful and ready to pivot when needed.

i can see mr.kishore in NYT and Washington post oped coming in near future..also if he opens a youtube channel there is a large section of the audience on that side of border to cater his needs

Awesome analysis by Samir Saran. Very good interpretation, please forecast outcomes of this conflict

It is not China has three aircraft carrier groups in the Caribbean. The USA is just trying to remain number one. Why should America wants to try to contain anyone.

Absolutely John is correct. India needs to follow the idea of John.

Thats Kishore mahabubani was UNSC ex president.. 😭😭

Kishore is the best no doubt

Agreed with Kishore

Kishore: "If I were an Indian, I would ask myself why China's GDP is 4 times the size of India..." man, that hurts...
