GeoEconomics of the Indian Ocean, Tamil Region!

hello everyone!
thanks for joining me today in this video podcast. I'm using this video podcast as a very crucial time in the history of the Tamil region and the southern Indian region overall, including Sri Lanka. with the global geopolitical changes at rapid speed that happening right now, the world is divided into many corridors of economies right as you know, not just only for economic reasons but also for all geopolitical and geostrategy reasons. the world is deeply divided with the U.S. and the West on one side and Russia, China Iran, and some other Middle East Nations on the other side. and Europeans somewhere in the middle part of them on this side and some of them on the other side right, especially after the Ukraine war.

African nations started loving the Chinese Belt and Road initiatives and they started supporting that China is there to help them out and their support is growing more. so they are taking the Chinese side. surprisingly you know Brazil and other South American countries also ditching the west and aligning more towards China and also to Russia. oil drives most of these things but then international trade and building the country's infrastructure all these things are the Trump cards put by the Chinese; which is highly you know and desirable by those countries right that is the situation around the world.

But, there is one country in the world that is in a very delicate spot. Guess what? Guess which country?
yes, of course , it is India. It has taken a very unique position now and it has been forced to be in a situation where India is positioned as a darling for the West on the, you know, on the one side its relationship with Russia for many decades on the other side puts it into a very, you know the very unique position. where in fact India's recent decisions after the Ukraine war made most of the countries around the world surprised you know to see India taking a multi-power positioning with uh taking puts putting its own interest in the front and being um you know um unaligned with any specific Corridor or supporting not supporting the sanctions against Russia doing trade with Russia especially the mostly the oil trade right uh India has its own reasons to do that and it has you know because the world is changed changing and it has been transformed a lot and uh with this current geopolitical and geostrategic and most importantly the geoeconomic poisoning of the world.

it makes sense for India to put its own interest in the front; correct?. at the same time India also realizes that it cannot do it for a very long time because, you know, it's just going to be you know over and over again at some point of time in the future, may not be the near future, but some point of time in future India will be forced to take a side. And, this is not the first time it happened even before the formation of the Union of India. the British presidencies, the colonies of the subcontinent as the presidencies under British were forced to fight on the side in the World Wars on the side of the West. while you know, some factions of India, chose to fight with them, especially with Subhash Chandra Bose you know aligning towards the Japanese Corridor right. but we all know the history then you know the West could able to sustain and win the war.

but now India has transformed a lot. it has become a capitalistic society, after the 90s until you know you know four decades after the independence. India was in a very good relationship with USSR but then the post-Cold War you know when the dismantling of the USSR, India started you know, developing into a capitalistic society and got deeper into the hands of the West, especially the U.S. but India never divorced Russia. that's an issue. Well, it's not an issue. that's the positioning right now. right?
India never divorced Russia; so it continues to flirt with the U.S. while getting not divorcing Russia and also flirting with a lot of other nations right? which are very much hated by the U.S. and the West.
now the Indian diplomacy seems to be you know keep extending this dancing with multipolar on multiple parties as much it can right but everything will come to an end at some point of time in the future. until that time frame comes, it will continue to not take its side and I wouldn't you know, I wouldn't tell anything against it, because that might be the right positioning. Because you don't have to take a side until you know which side you are fighting with or which side you are fighting against. These things get transformed quickly. especially under the current geo-economic conditions where countries are chasing semiconductor chips and oil and other things to dominate economically. these enemies can quickly become friends and we have seen that over and over again. Then, why India should take a position right now? we have to wait and watch right?

but there is one Trump card the U.S. and the West has is India's competitive positioning against China.
