 THIS is India’s Biggest Geopolitical Move | Leader of the Global South!

WorldAffairs

 World Affairs  now before we start discussing this topic the leader of the global South India's biggest geopolitical move before we discuss all this let me show you an image now over here you can see this beautifully drawn map and you will also see this red line that sort of divides this map into two halves this line was created in 1980s and this is called the Branded line it divides the world into two halves the north side as you can see is made up of predominantly wealthy countries the developed countries where people have a better lifestyle people are more wealthy whereas the southern part is relatively poor now obviously most of you will probably look at down here at Australia and say wait why is this curve being drawn here.

 

 why isn't Australia considered a part of the southern region of Earth in the Branded line well the reason behind of that is very simple both Australia and New Zealand are very developed Nations so they were kept on the Northern side of the Branded line and as the years rolled by we saw that this branded line gave birth to a much larger concept the concept of a global North a rich Global North and a poor Global South obviously one thing you will notice is that in the Branded line since this branded line was made in the 1980s at that time USSR was still in existence so most of the Central Asian countries that at that time were part of the USSR have been kept in the northern side but today when we look at the rich countries and the poor countries.

 

The rich Global North and the poor Global South.

We actually include the Central Asian countries as part of the global South and if humanity is to prosper if we want to make our planet a better place if we want to ensure that every human being lives a life of dignity it's important that the disparity the difference of wealth between the North and the South it must be bridged it must be brought down and this is the core basis of India's biggest geopolitical move India has decided that it will actually become the voice of the global South all the countries that you see in the global South if you count them all they are roughly about 120 countries most of these nations are rich in natural resources they have had a huge civilizational past if you look back a few thousand years ago                        Global South was actually much more prosperous and Rich than the global North so there are a lot of aspirations in global South a lot of countries that want to reclaim their past glory and India recently hosted a mega event it was called the voice of the global South and during this event India made its aspirations clear that we want to be the voice of these 125 countries in the global South the United Nations right now as it currently stands is a frozen mechanism if you just look at un four of the five permanent members of the U.N security Council belong to the global North we have just one seat in the global South so it's very important that the global South unites under one voice now obviously one question that will come to your mind is are we talking about North versus South is India trying to lead these 125 countries towards a economic struggle against the north so that we can economically uplift ourselves what is India trying to do and shouldn't
United States and Europe be worried about this concept of the global South well the answer of these questions is no not really India is not really uniting the global South again some kind of a struggle against the global North no what India is proposing is a better partnership a better understanding.

 

 

World Trade Organization at UN at various other bodies where the global South also gets a reasonable amount of benefit from the progress that Humanity as a whole mix and India's version of a global South is much different than the Chinese version yes China has aspirations of its own Global South and they have often hinted at a rivalry between Global North and Global South according to China in their version of global South there will be military alliances there will be friction between North and the South you can even say that China has passed to create its own NATO to rival the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that dominates the global North so if you look at this from an American perspective or perhaps even a European perspective they would much rather prefer and India LED Global South they would much rather prefer India to become the voice of the global South rather than China leading the global South against the north because that will be a completely different story so can we say that there is perhaps a small rivalry between India and China regarding the leadership of the global South you can say that yes I mean look when India hosted this giant Summit voice of the global South China participated as well but India announced that India will create a global South Center for excellence in India that will work as a uniting center for all of the 125 Global South countries and right now what are the two main issues that impact the global South well the two main issues are number one green energy fund the global North countries have had a much higher contribution to Global emissions and yet they haven't created a green energy fund to finance the global South countries so that we can transition to a much more cleaner form of energy this is very important to fight climate change because in the end this will not just impact the global South it will also impact.

 

The global North brunt of the impact will be faced by the global South countries and then there is the issue of the Ukraine Russia War now the Ukraine Russia war is predominantly you can say a glow Global North topic it's a global North issue but it has spilled over to the global South because of the conflict the oil prices have risen around the world and now the global North is pushing you can almost say forcing the global South to isolate Russia to isolate Russian food to isolate Russian food exports Russian energy exports this is a difficult task for the global South so right now at least for the time being these are the two main uniting factors for the global South and this can be an opportunity for India as well India can actually emerge as a very important geopolitical Powerhouse by becoming the voice of the global South because as I said earlier the north would much rather prefer a sane a reasonable India leading the global South rather than an aggressive and belligerent China leading all these 125 countries.

 God bless you all

India’s Most Difficult Decision | Russia and Iran want India’s Help to Break Sanctions.

Foreign Affairs now in recent times we have seen that India has been given a lot of attention in the western media the Western media has almost been obsessed about India's neutral stance why is India neutral even though it is a democracy and its relations with U.S and Europe are increasing why isn't India putting sanctions and pressure on Russia to help Ukraine in the conflict now India has made it clear that we have our own foreign policy and it will not be dictated by Western countries but let me tell you something if you thought that buying Russian oil and natural gas was a difficult decision during Ukraine war.

 

India will have to take a much more difficult decision in the near future because Iran and Russia again if you ask any American which are the three most evil countries according to you most probably they will say Iran Russia and China perhaps you can switch China where North Korea sometimes but definitely they will mention Iran and Russia so these two countries are actually planning to use India to bypass the sanctions that have been imposed by Western countries as you can see various articles have been published on this topic and very soon India will have to make a difficult decision whether we reject this offer of Russia and Iran or we tell the Western Nations that even in this regard we have a neutral foreign policy and we will decide what is best for us now one very basic question that you can ask is but why would Russia and Iran use India to bypass Western sanctions.

 

 I mean why is Western media already publishing so many articles regarding this topic even though right now their plans are pretty much on paper nothing has happened on the ground yet well first of all you need to understand is that Iran and Russia both have been sanctioned by Western Powers because of different reasons Russia has been sanctioned because of their invasion of Ukraine Iran has been sanctioned by Western Powers because of their nuclear program they are the are developing every single year and if you actually compare both the countries Russia and Iran then Iran has actually been under much heavy sanctions compared to Russia Russia still isn't in the financial action task forces Blacklist but Iran has been in fatf's Blacklist for years now but both the countries realize that in the future they will not be able to trade all that much with European union and U.S they need to find new markets they need to explore.

 

 new export destinations so that they can sustain their economy and in that Quest two main countries are their main pillars one is China and the second one is India and this is why both the countries will soon depend on the international north-south transport Corridor to make sure that their goods reach Africa and Southeast Asia through India now over here on the map you can see that this right here is the existing route through which Russia exports its goods it has to use a lot of trade routes that directly Commander Sweden Norway Germany France UK now most of these are NATO Nations that do not have good relations with Russia they have actually imposed sanctions on Russia so instead of using this European route what Russia plans to do is they will first make a railroad that will go all the way to the Caspian Sea after that it will go through azerbaija and then it will enter Iran and after that they have two options they can use Iran's jabahar Port that has been developed by India it is very important as you know this entire Port right now is pretty much under Indian control and then they also have the option of the bandara passport these two ports will be critical for Russia to make sure that it can regularly export to not just

 

 India but even Gulf and Africa and Southeast Asian countries and as these plans begin to shake up in the near future because these plans will take some time this is a 20 billion dollar project between Iran and Russia to bypass the Western sanctions but the Western media is already paranoid about this topic because they think how can India even think about supporting these two quote unquote evil Nations because in their dictionary in their school of thought India is now a western Ally now here's the thing India's foreign affairs minister Dr Raja Shankar has categorically said that Ally we never use this word this is not an Indian terminology this is a western concept because look in geopolitics if you have good relations with a country that Nation will either be your partner or your ally an ally is a much stronger term an ally will come to your Aid in war it will help you with defense equipment it will even wage war on your enemy because this is what allies do at least in geopolitical context a partner is somewhat of a loose term a partner can help you in certain aspects but also disagree with you in other aspects so India prefers to use the word partner for both U.S and Russia would you consider India an lie of Russia no I think India doesn't we are an independent country we do not Define ourselves or perceive ourselves in Alliance terms that's very much a western terminology it's not something it's not a term that we use and this will be the basis the main Foundation of Indian foreign policy for years to come because look even though.

 

 Western media has consistently published many articles where they have written about a formal alliance with India heck you can see this article by Nikki Haley she has been the representative of the United States of America to United Nations she wrote in 2021 that it is time to formalize a military alliance with India just like USA is an ally of UK or France the focus should be now on India how do we make India an ally but this is where India will always disagree with U.S that we do not share the same worldview as you in our world you there is no black and white there are no binaries and there is a very strong reason behind India's dance now let me give you an example as you know China is building its Naval might in the Indian Ocean in the Pacific Ocean in the South China Sea and India desperately needs to make sure that its Navy is up to the task to at least give China some competition in in the Indian Ocean and for that we need submarines now what happened recently was one of India's diesel electric submarines that we sent to Russia for some repair work it's stuck there we can't get it back because Russian Federation that is under sanctions cannot even procure the important equipment the important parts it needs to repair,

 

 India's submarines our submarine is just sitting idle in Russia right now and just imagine in the future if India's Arsenal keeps on piling up in Russia's factories over and over how will that impact India's defense now is U.S or Europe concerned about this no they are not heck recently as we saw U.S even decided to make sure that they will repair and give proper service and maintenance to Pakistan's F-16 fighter jets that they recently used against India so it is in India's long-term interest that Russian Federation slowly emerges out of the sanctions it starts function again with or without European or Western participation in order to change the status.

United States of America will lead a pragmatic president someone who is a Visionary who decides to make a very important four-year plan in which U.S will give India some kind of a major financial aid that will replace India's aging Russian defense equipment and American defense equipment will replace everything and I don't really see that happening because for any U.S president to do such a thing will be a very difficult job he will have to explain his own countrymen that we need to do this in the long run if we want to make sure that this gigantic nation in Asia which will soon become the most populous nation in all of the world we need to make sure that it is pro-us but I doubt if the American Congress if their Member of Parliament will even understand this need so in the coming few years definitely. you will see this happening new trading routes will emerge Iran and Russia will depend on India to bypass Western sanctions and this right here. is the end of the video if you like like this Article share it  

God bless you all 👏

How to Never get Distract.

 How To Never Get Distract.

                                                                                                                                         -StefanRahul😍

People, one of the most powerful things in the history of mankind is the attention of a human being. The greatest scientific discoveries of all time, the greatest inventions of all time have come into existence because someone, somewhere managed to pay a little bit more importance to the intricacies of the world that the world considered to be insignificant. The reason why standup comedians are able to give us such a wonderful time is because they manage to pay attention to those little intricacies of our life that we never really pay attention to. And most importantly, the reason you are able to listen to me right now is because while the world was busy in its hustle and bustle one man was paying very close attention to this world and decided to challenge the status quo to think different and to change the world forever. So the question lies, while on one side there are these people who have managed to master this art of attention on the other side there are people like you and me who cannot even read a book for an hour without actually getting distracted.

 

 

 

The question is- How do we exactly master this art of attention?

                    Now, people, I am no genius in this. I am no expert in this but I began to read a little bit about attention and about a week ago I read this article which completely changed my perspective about distraction, in the first place. This article was written by a monk and the first line said "Distraction is like a parasite to the mind if you don't kill your distraction, distraction will kill your dreams." If you look at an apple tree guys, an apple tree takes about 6 years to actually start giving you fruits and when it starts giving you fruits it's got lush green leaves, beautiful fruits and a very very strong trunk. But soon enough, as the weather keeps changing there are a few parasites which begin to pop up on the trunk of the apple tree and sometimes in the branches of the apple tree. Now, if you look at the size of the parasite, it look very insignificant but if you don't kill that parasite, soon enough the entire tree is going to rot because the parasite is going to suck all of its nutrients. Distraction to our mind is just like the parasite to a healthy apple tree. With all this humungous potential in our mind if we let the parasite of distraction grow into our mind we will never be able to utilise our mind to its full potential, eventually it is going to end up killing, not us but our dreams. And if you only understand the depth of this story very well you will begin to take distraction very very seriously.

 

 So, I'm just gonna give you a few takeaways by which I just hope that you will be able to pay much more attention to what you're doing right now. and what is important, without actually getting distracted, eventually utilising the potential of your mind a little bit more. So, here's a thing that you are supposed to know. People, every time you pick up something to work on and every time you are reading a book you need to understand that your brain is forming possibly a million, a billion neurological connections eventually, to help you understand the information properly to turn that information into knowledge and to turn that knowledge into wisdom so that it can help you enhance your life. And when this process is actually happening, your brain is exercising a superpower that no other species possesses. Eventually, taking up a lot of energy to process every bit of the information that your are producing. But you know what? because this is never really told to us, we take is for granted. And that's the reason why the superpower that you have been practicing never really gets utilised to its fullest eventually, to never get utilised at all because we never focus.

 

 So the question is- What exactly is the root cause of this problem and how exactly are we supposed to tackle it?

 

 The first thing that I want you to know is actually understand how does the technology around you work in the first place. People, companies spend a billion dollars to make sure that they make Instagram a part of your lifestyle. It's not a coincidence that you open Instagram every time you're bored. It's not a coincidence that when you are in a restaurant and everybody is talking when you feel out of the conversation, you open up Instagram. It's not a coincidence but a strategic move which has been planned by some of the best behavioural scientists in the world. And it's not a bad thing because that's how business is done but it becomes a bad thing once it begins to intrude into your life so much that it becomes a hurdle for your progress. And the one who is supposed to act on it is not Instagram but you. So, here's a very simple 3 step procedure by which I have been able to focus on my work and I just hope it helps you focus on your work too. The first thing that you're supposed to do is segregate all the applications in your phone into 3 categories. The first category, you can call it 'Important'. The second category is 'Not so Important' and the third category is 'Not at all Important'. Now, in my 'Not at all important' category, I have Zomato, Swiggy, Amazon, Flipkart. And the first thing that you're supposed to do after you find out all of these not at all important applications is to turn of their notifications.

 

 Now, the question is- What happens with Zomato? Zomato is not like Instagram then why should you switch off the notification? Well, you have to switch off the notification because When you are working on something very very important you will get a Zomato notification, you will open up the Zomato application and then you will understand that your friend just called you and told you that Dhoni just retired "OH MY GOD, DHONI JUST RETIRED!" so you begin to see Instagram posts about Dhoni and then you begin to see YouTube videos on 3 best Dhoni moments, eventually to enter into a Sushant Singh Rajput video because Dhoni is related to Sushant Singh Rajput and god knows within 5 minutes you're watching this. [Arnab Goswami chattering] And that's the reason why you have to turn off the notifications of Zomato and all other applications which will give you an excuse to pick up your phone. The second category is 'Not so important' and here's where you have to turn off the notifications of all the groups that you have on WhatsApp wherein you have 'good morning' and 'good evening' messages. Why? Because the 'Good morning' and 'Good evening' messages are not dangerous. They just give you an excuse to pick up the phone and soon enough you'll get a message from your friend [THE CYCLE REPEATS] [ARNAB GOSWAMI CHATTERING AGAIN] And that's the reason why you're supposed to turn off the notifications for all the insignificant groups that you are a part of. 

 

Now, people, I want to leave this completely upto you and your maturity to decide which of those applications and which of the notifications in those applications are a priority in your life; because everybody has different priorities. This is the first step to actually increasing your focus and decreasing your distraction to help you put in much more work and to utilise the potential of your mind. And every time you feel the reluctance to turn off the notifications in your phone always tell yourself one thing "If you don't kill distraction, distraction will kill your dreams." And I'm 100% sure that you will have more persistence to turn off the notifications to improvise your life. And this is what reminds me of what Ray Kroc once said when he was asked what exactly was his secret to building a $700 million food chain empire at the age of 52. And he responded by saying one word "Persistence" "Nothing in this world can take place of good old persistence.

 

 Talent won't because nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius won't because unrecognized genius is practically a cliché. And lastly, education won't because the world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful." And at the end of the day, people, the question is all about one thing. Do you have the persistence to kill your distraction or are you going to let it kill your dreams?

Thanks....
