00:00
Opinion on emerging nexus between China, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
00:05
48% are saying very worrying.
00:08
Somewhat worrying is 24%.
00:09
So, remember, this is a nationwide poll.
00:12
Foreign policy may not always be top of the mind for an average citizen.
00:15
But still, 72% see some kind of a nexus between China, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
00:21
Only 8% say not very worrying and 12% say not at all worrying.
00:25
So, it almost seems as if the average Indian citizen fears that we are being encircled, Sandeep,
00:31
by Pakistan, China and Bangladesh.
00:35
Does the government again need to get its communication strategy right to address these concerns?
00:40
You are going to China just two months after you've accused that same country, rightly so,
00:45
of being in military cahoots with the Pakistanis.
00:49
Absolutely, Rajiv.
00:50
And I think that is the nature of geopolitics in 2025.
00:53
We are in a bit of a spot given the way our ties are playing out with the United States,
00:59
with the Russian Federation, with China, of course,
01:02
and, of course, a resurgent Pakistan which is being propped up by the United States.
01:08
You know, that said, there is a groundswell of public opinion against China.
01:13
And if I would take a dipstick on this,
01:16
I would look at one of the biggest Bollywood superstars,
01:20
what is the movie that he is shooting even as we speak in the studio today.
01:24
It is Salman Khan shooting in Ladakh for a movie made on the Galwan strife.
01:28
Now, the Galwan conflict.
01:30
That clearly tells you that the mood of the people is moving against China.
01:34
And it is for Prime Minister Modi to balance this frenemy act.
01:38
It's not going to be Jula diplomacy again.
01:40
It's going to be trust but verify.
01:42
Rajdeep, just allow me to make a point.
01:46
Look, the same set of audience in our five-year-ago survey,
01:50
mood of the nation survey of 2020,
01:52
said overwhelmingly with a majority of 59%
01:54
that India should go to war with China post-Galwan.
01:58
Same set of people.
01:59
So, suspicion remains.
02:00
Post-62, things have changed.
02:02
People do have that memory and we have to give it to that.
02:05
India has civilizational memories.
02:06
So, we do not tend to forget things.
02:08
The reality remains so.
02:09
But let me complete the point that this is also a reality
02:13
that despite having Galwan and the visuals of people smashing TVs
02:18
and banning off those applications and throwing their mobile phones,
02:21
this remains a reality that India still imports
02:23
$100 billion worth of equipment and things from China.
02:27
So, that manufacturing, that dependence.
02:28
And government trade deficit has ballooned.
02:30
Exactly.
02:31
Baya, you wanted to make a point.
02:32
Yes, Hindi, Chini, Bhai, Bhai.
02:33
This is what we are aiming for, right?
02:34
If we look at this.
02:35
But, Rajdeep, let's look at what the data is actually showing.
02:40
60% of Indians believe that nation's global influence has improved.
02:43
But there is also a 72% expressing worry about this new axis which has emerged,
02:49
which is China, Pakistan, Bangladesh nexus.
02:52
So, on one hand, there is this broad perception of India's international stature.
02:57
But there is tangible anxiety.
02:58
Anxiety, I think that has to be juxtaposed when we look at both the situations.
03:03
No, no, because remember, Prime Minister Modi has always tried to project,
03:07
or his government or his cheerleaders have promoted him as a Vishwa guru,
03:11
who has raised India's standing globally.
03:14
We saw that even after G20, that India was going to be a leader of the global south.
03:18
The last few months have upended some of that,
03:21
both the way in which post-Operation Sindur Pakistan was also able to launch
03:26
a relatively successful diplomatic offensive,
03:28
got their IMF loans, got their ADB loans,
03:31
is in the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee.
