  • Calling Modi as Hitler is inviting Trump like situation by opposition
  • As always the pro- democrat bias shines through. Gupta confuses democrats with our dear old congress.
  • Attempt on Trump was one thing but the way the so called American liberal media reacted to the incident was infuriating. Some of the headlines which were published by the "independent media" which just can't stop preaching to the world about the media standards were just baffling to say the least.
  • Ronald Reagan was a strong supporter of free trade and was anti-union. The result is that a lot of labor intensive manufacturing shifted out of the USA. China saw its opportunity. It liberalized its economy and improved relations with the US. Today you cannot buy a TV made in the US. Shoes, Clothing, small appliances and light bulbs are all imported from China and quality is generally quite good. India continued with closed economy and License Raj.
  • Shekhar ji has given a masterclass in the big picture clutter and American context of divisions in America today. World media - WATCH and LEARN
  • This polarisation is fuelled by social media, where one narrative need to be countered by other by all means
  • Shekhar being the most senior journalist in India u should know what is happening with our national recruitment agency and make everyone aware about this.
  • If, I can strongly disagree with this analysis: I watched the vox videos years ago, so not watching it now. Nowhere in those videos do they use terms like right & left so frequently as they are used in this CTC. Such terms pollutes the political debate. However, its a disservice of the worst kind when we use such terms while talking economics. With all due respect towards the incredible things that I learn through this segment, I think terms like right & left are used frequently when one can't differentiate between right & wrong
  • If someone smart enough wants to connect all the dots since 2016 since when Trump was first elected, decoding what happened & what can happen next is not too difficult to interpret.
  • Democrats are not left. They are actually center, Republicans are right wing. But both follow libertarian philosophy, that is core to democracy
  • "militancy, separatism and terrorism" aren't ideologies according to The Print.
  • @nikhilt497
    Hey print! can you introduce 1440p/ 4k videos?
  • @shajidsikder797
    Sometimes it feels like The Video content and its Title is totally different
  • See how His masters faithful servant Rahul encourages violence against Modi quite often thinking Indians love such talks. Congress conveniently forgets contribution of Sanjay Gandhi as the original strong man who lost his life in a so called helicopter crash. Indira encouraged Bhindranwala type aggression due to Punjab politics that engulfed herself. Rahul used muscle unintelligently in Srilankan Politics to pay with his life. Mahatma wanted Nehru to leave chair and on same evening when he announced his decision Mahatma lost his life which still leaves more questions than answers. Unless Govt acts smart we may see chaos here too sponsored by Rahul in his latest Mafia Posture in public which is not smart politics at all. Lets wait..
