the surgeon, the i suggested 10000 security present. obviously the 36 feeds your position also reject it seems the show has been put on essentially for the west and backers to show that we're not going to take this line down despite the fact that they've lost the poll . add to a very big win ad by the incumbent. prior to the georgia dream, we're going to stay and watch as things develop. but as of now it's peaceful here. introducing our shift in case it over now to updates on the ukraine conflict, where our russian troops have overtaken key of troops into the net sco people's republic telling them salita that's according to the russian ministry of defense. as a result of successful actions by formations, i military units of be sent

a group of troops, the town of salita in the, the next people for a public has been completely liberated. sorry. so we're hearing it right there from the russian ministry defense. what about all taste on cold had gone over to you? what details do you have on this or no? as well, according to russia's ministry of defense, the southern dpr town of sydney, the is actually the 2nd town that russian forces have liberated on tuesday alone. and that actually comes at just recently after they had already liberated another set of towns in the same region like uh, garden york or custody. and i've got and drop it off for them. but this town of city, the is of particular importance actually because it's located south east of the city of park cross, which is very important for the key of regimes in industrial capacity as well as supply lines going in the directions of this up at origin. and southern done yet, so russian forces are now one town closer to in, circling and liberating this larger city of for teaching important. i mean, the other successes by moscow's forces along the dpr front. all right,

all these are on quarter. i the thank you. well, i mean talking about how the ground has blocked off to use accounts on the territory of ukraine, i guess because people that should only be allowed one side of today's news. right? question. but with us, it's off the international the there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case for the madness of the people. i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also of soon, this is the 3rd world lunacy re watching as close to the funder line. likes to say we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deals to living on that. we have very close propaganda. you know a price here in new york, i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask

questions, you should ask all of the questions. some more questions ask a better. the answer is will be the we know. busy how to do the thing i've been leaving with this situation since the negative that the india would leave with 2 funds to reduce and all that is all on the side they sion awful and feel patients and then i'm gonna get setup was this the other one publish the kind of the typical project we have luck from russia. article fund wouldn't have come from any with is just directly you know, the way our job do it to actually and i think that is the source of great satisfaction, the

to hello and welcome my name is on. if i'm kid may come to the show better for the next hoffman odd or we will be talking all the things in the auditor. the very special guest is a former northern army commander, known for his distinguished service and expertise in military strategy and national security. they come left him to another dependency already. i guess i was, i was also going to say it over here. so also on a to be talking to you left in a general depend to seeing who is a highly decorated former indian army officer with a career spanning 40 years he served as a northern army come under from 2014 to 2016, overseeing the 2016 surgical strikes and practiced on other key military operations, particularly in jumbo and kashmir. he's also served in the united nations mission in ethiopia, and eritrea. after retiring, he contributed significantly, shaping in these national security strategy by leading a congress,

a pointed task force to develop a comprehensive security doctrine in 2019. so i grew up with the amazing patriotic feelings. wonderful. uh, and then what i see, and i mean off is that i feel like that'd be good. i was born off to the ideas of independence. do you see the same fashion for army and now among the common people? yeah. do this or the i got it. yeah. if you, if you actually look at the way that it goldman drive, these are out of handling the numbers of people who come up that kind of enthusiasm that is there to, to join them. and every forward says, and i think over the years, what has not weakened is this uh, you know, the see pause right in uniform. the desire to do well. so, i mean, these are, these are issues that really, i think he bought. i mean, really consistent then very good. i it isn't even for the motivation extra to india and so colored russell. it was amazing. so solving. so when you go for the train,

the way did you do you finish reading? so i it was exactly 16 year old when i joined the national defense, i graduate and i had to go by uniform, but i was 60 years old. i mean almost all of my life as being in uniform and you would, you would also not the 1st person from the armed forces in your family. in my family i was my father was in the army. my little brother was in the army. so this leg goes out of natural progression that, you know, if you hold to the guy in the hour, but did you want to do something else? or you were happy to be here, you know, just just out of school and then straight into it. and the, and i saw the near the g mind it's, yes, it is amazing. it's unbelievable means a made elective. huh. so the, the, to a 2500 people get. it's sitting this straight, 1st of all, uh, i usually use a lot of humor in my speeches, but to do it like that. so after the whole thing about to come on, you said it was

a successful lecture. i said, no, no, the action. you said nobody's sleep, nobody slip. yeah. i think this takes me through all the major to success. that's amazing. to fix it. yeah. and then it's a for uh, 40 or draining the 3 is in t as in india, and then we do one year that i mean that of them. so adult is draining. redeem is for you as a new one in june can for the very, very important period of us. yes. how, how i just want to understand in a, in a situation a bit, when you have to deal with people who are the enemies of the country, and you have for strategize. what goes, what is the one point that goes on in your mind? so basically, i think, you know, that is i and you have a clear objective in the military that you have some listed to me and i think that's remain. so for most of all your planning to do it, objective is very objective is to bring these finish out there to them and you're going this way then all your actions. i did that accordingly with that,

with that single minded, focusing object and not a good reason. and the application has really helped us with that. it has to elaborate all sorts, as you know, whilst it was, have significant to be very significantly come down. i think the narrative that the india were delivered to constitutions which really wasn't possible within the state . you mind, have you mind actually having a separate constitution and a separate constitution for the country? some separate this tendencies, that dental is because of this different constitutional arrangements. i think all of that has all that, all that is all gone and then there's some people who sort of we are in a free country. people have a of opinion about everything. but what do you personally feel when somebody criticizes me in the country? look, you know, you obviously uh you obviously sort of feel bad about that. uh, but i think we have professional enough to understand that, you know, as long as you keep doing your job properly,

but that's on your 1st on. so it went to the 1st 70. no, i said personally, sometimes you feel high. i mean i, i was responsible for planning the so the goal strikes? yes. i remember and later, you know, there was some questions raised us to do that actually happened reddick. yeah, i'm phone traditions. yeah. so the position of this is the new, the new really bad. what are they said? i just do it the, you know, really i job. do it personally. and i think that is a source of great satisfaction for you. you have spoken on your out against politicizing mentor to operations. what kind of damage do think it causes people to say they shut off with a tree, operations, the damage it sort of causes this. the other one, if i still have them, when you started sort of taking decisions based on what do you think is politically correct rather than on what should be professionally the right way to go, which is i think i understood, you know, us and the among the trees and which is why they keep themselves away from politics and that did good for the peter to obtain starts out of impacting your professional

approach. i mean, we, i mean, to get a professional opinion that the political leadership and that sometimes gets in fact and if you have any visibility, show sort of political leading and what is the role of media and integrating to the media today. and particularly the, the social media and you know, how it is, lots of misinformation this information. but again, as i said, as uh, as professionals and just i'm sure it as, as you will do it in, in the okay. yeah, is try instead of a detach yourself a little bit and try and sort of seek the truth. not always easy, but that's how it is i so that do you think that to be a control on it and nothing should control on it. that has to be some regulation of the social media. i mean you just can't related patio and the way it is and then some people talk about freedom of expression though there is. so i'm lines. i'm not saying we should apply. i'm don't know. i mean do i have yes,

definitely. i believe that what you're saying is absolutely some, some, some sense over regulation, some of them under regulation. and i think the social media platforms are also understanding that because their platforms are also being misused by a lot of people. me. and so i think some regulation is a nice, i mean required do thing in the ceiling and the parts of non alignment. so i think we have framed it differently at all. and we are saying it's strategic autonomy that we will do things which i did not invest national interest. and we are not going to get the aligned or become allies with one part of it. and, and you'll see that because it is growing ties with, with the us. i'm going ties also with the restaurant because we feel that whatever actions we take, if you have to buy a new supplies from rush company that moved, i've seen a nation in the us and we will do it. so that's the sort of part which we have been following and really i think is, is i know some people say it's just

a little sort of nuanced approach to what was on alignment earlier. people who do you, you've created for this balance on the credit has to go to the dig leadership and the people that they have. and we have a very small and you know that my understanding foreign minister and he's being in diplomacy for all his life and so that he, i typically the way he a position in the stands and the way he's able to clearly explain it. so i think we have a, we have a, we have a good fun with this to you today. we, we, we do a lot of, uh, we have a lot of budget for roger defense forces. and my new to do that. it's a required thing because we are set under advice and people look at the talk to you look at the what your challenges i actually go to the gathering is. so you have focused on, on one side which since independence has shown affility towards india. and we fought 3 plus one for the water, so i was playing with them as we have now. come,

what's largest, all the neighbors in china, which since 2020, you know, has been sort of attempting to use military caution on an unsettled lot up. and then you haven't done and say go to the shows your mortgage way, the northeast. and so they just had a requirement of adequate forces to be able to deal with these challenges. and that automatically gets on the states and to a defense budget. that for me to feel no need to sort of have the ability of the size, but also the quick put properly. so that is capable of meeting as challenges among the surgical strikes when people by saying that they actually happen on the did not happen. um, this is my 1st time to get upset there. why wasn't it sort of toner, the faces of those people who was saying it that this is so? so let me tell you, i mean, frankly, when these things started coming out,

i was personally of the opinion that we had videos and we had big chest, which subsequently what do you use by the government? i think after, after almost 10 years or so, we did bibles a little bit at that time was that we should pull these out so that any, you know, the track tubs and people who are saying hasn't happened. not only, not only from outside would even of august, i'd say, yeah, do i've done part of the expos. no, i didn't say nothing has happened at all. nobody has come. so i, i, anyway, but you know that go to the decision that the government look at that time, not releasing though they did it later. but as i said, my personal opinion was it could have been done. i knew in june, given this operation was taken. yeah. so i was the, i'll be going to that. yeah, i know that i want to ask you so many questions about the board. all of that. do some planning, the planning for the legal side was done in my head. going to be yeah. and we were responsible for that and how much time did it take to plan it?

so actually the planning started off the give us a little believe about. yeah. so the trigger for the surgical side was the back on the when he got us in after the and the bag. i'll know the guy this and the place on the 18th of september. and i think very quickly of the political leadership, military leadership, we all got together and decided that we need to respond to this. and we need to respond strongly. we can adjust with them to fight and say when say we will do anything in auto and tennessee. we go down to the previous government and none men going to. yeah. and then what happened? yeah. that we had to go across and strike in camps with children focused on that issue. so that decision that they said was operating on the operation, went in on the night of the 28th. so within 10 days we had planned, selected the people i launched them across and it wasn't a single operation. so i know there's what we would just be made of. yeah. so if you chose one thing and nobody can actually we went across and multiple places.

okay. yeah, starting from across the movies into across catch me. so we had on the same night, we launched 5 populations and how much time did it take to complete these operations? so we went in, so it was at night we started just after it became quite a month later you at that time i wasn't much and as i was in the headquarters, the cold water room was on the you know, yeah, it was, it was kind of operations room and we were getting the, the feed from the u a. b, then drawing because up in the me that for you to is coming to my headquarters we are watching. couldn't really see what to do because i was when you're watching. so we went in the and by about 7 in the morning, everybody was back, so it was, it was a night operation, the bicycle. we did not name it at all. ok. see, we were very conscious of all to go to t and that information about they should not leak out. just a handful of people in y headquarter austin. you know what?

i mean, not everybody didn't know. and then so we decided deliberately not to give with the name of other people's side, talk your name, then to rice, what it is. and you would in cross country with the parameters to do it up. and i will start personally and touch with the prime minister that was and i say you need any yeah. any of the chief allow me stuff. okay. yeah, because i was in with him for okay, let's see for the for why we start with the navy. and yeah, he was, he was briefing that ridiculously and lot of the rest of the countries are not really very happy about either too much like you to do your lesson. some countries want us to be always submissive and not so brilliant because i think this all see, you know, care in august on i 2 countries knew that. um, they sometimes feel that, you know, data behavior is the responsible and it could lead into a much larger sort of conflict. we know how to obtain via being living with this

situation since independent and side until that is a great deal of maturity. and when we carry out the end, we have the order civilization. yeah. on a do means if you see this, so yeah, sometimes it's really, really angry with me and did the editors, notes and things like that. and they're on the list sort of condescendingly. yeah. they have to address that and are you what i, what i think it's, you know, uh we have clearly stated that what we will do is in our national interest and also the country has progress. i was looking the 5th largest economy in the was, i think that is a growing state ya politically, diplomatically, economically. so i don't think guy, you know, those boss pains and people who look down on you and to say whether this country off to independence will even so i love the you as a single entity. i think those times i don't know a very,

very calm the same thing it's, i think i'm sure it's or the peter of is that you have it and you how i mean people also automatically choose the right words it's, it's sort of impresses me and baffles me on so there's not a single word which really will, which is i will do is i have to think about a 1000 thing don't maybe i'm given my dialogue and i said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. you have to live to live that. yes, exactly. oh, i have lived 540 i. yeah, she didn't have it. it's had a strong military bond. how important and it's relationship with by the, in the rush of relationship is not new. i think it's, it has a long history behind it. there's a great deal of consistency in how russia has come to india as a to and requires. i mean 71 war party example. we've had the kind of vehicle one that we had bought from russia. for example,

the nuclear submarines that the lead us. i mean, the article thing wouldn't have gone from anywhere. it is. and so there is a great deal of history behind the tie. what are the reason of this morning? and is it any particular this? as i said, as i said, it's because the have sort of created us with a great deal of paternity. they have looked at our national interest a number of cases where in the security council resolution the to drive, they have come to, i hope there was a tree deal friendship in 1971. so in the american, uh, yeah, across carrier sale in uh into the there's a building on the sort of pressure that of the us and then we will fighting the bottom of the squad. mm. it was, it was that i sions who sort of came to headphones had uh, we are there so, so don't get, don't get pressurized by, by the us. so i'm think that is such a long history of

a full size. the fact that they have looked after the national interest, which is why today you see in the i sort of refuse to outright click on them rush. actually doing that. you can watch, we have continued to pick out either due supplies and will it be the coupon from there. and what is the make in india program done for pilots ministry? let me let me put it this way. today we have the largest alms and both are in the wide. mm. okay. india and the biggest sounds important in the world of accounting for almost 10 percent of global arms and boards. and if you want to be an industrial and scientific power this and i'm willing to follow this situation obviously is not good. and so we need to develop, i don't indigenous capability. and i think the push that has been given by the government is excellent. and they have said that slowly over a period of time, you suddenly get on google or defense industrial base from the ground up within

india. but the policies that they have put in place, the processes that they have within place that slowly villain does an ice and re little produce out on um sending copeland i think is an oak sending initiative. will it happen quickly? um maybe not. but the predicted and direction is absolutely chair. so i'm saying in the next 5 success, you will see a strong enough defense industrial base. and i think it's an excellent initiative by the government. they are completely the telemundo bush and you've said that citizens that often for water and in the national security and now to do what do you mean by that? see i, i go to a national security strategy and one pillar of died was predicting on people. the point i'm making is national security is not merely about it. it's in bar to predict about us to make sharpening balancing or d as good. but ultimately, as the citizens of this country and,

and why i am saying of protecting them is because you have, you shows like jobs you have, it shows like environment, time of change, how it is going to impact uh, organization is going to take place, but i'm going to move from a, you know, this is when it goes to towns, how would you provide them the set of facilities that they need this also? so i think they should form an integral part of how we look at our national security, which is why i said they don't. people also must be in the heart of 5 the scores and discussions on, on national security. yeah, that's i do me mention, but also it is even the detritus attacks the country, right. the decreased completely and there was a into them thing sort of idea. so this is a political will things do? absolutely. i think you have the credit in this galvan for the approach that they have taken against terrorism within the country. and that's why it is focused on

has been cited that, you know, we need to be tough on this. and i think it's, it's working. i do said the number of the setbacks within the country has reduced out of the way they were happening all over the country. not only and that will encourage me. yeah. even within the on where they find that for that has. so the pressure, i think that the government has applied politically diplomatically in international circles. and the fact that there is somebody didn't us do. you would have to force against focused on you don't of the n t take some more risk. and i think that that policy is succeeding. this is my personal plus a nice question before that we finish. it's shot them. and the do, the condensation has happened june, or now this we are in that time the biopics i made on army generals and the kind of work that you have done. if you are biopic was to be

made on a few writes and autobiographical. let me put it like that. what would you call it? the book that you write about your life if you ever taught. oh, that's a that's a difficult question. uh, what would i call a good i see. lot of june. i mean, officer, i mean, dundas, i think the mom was no, i really haven't. you have a very distinguished video and um for so i have and i, i don't know. so being with on or something like that is what i would say. okay. yeah. any particular actor you have in mind, i'm talking to you. i think you know that you are the best person just quoted you our readings over and is that a via over going on with them as well? yes, and that's amazing. thank you. thank you. left engineer, defend the single guy. thank you so much for that and thank you for watching. join me next week. as we uncolored a new lead in yet another debate and let's talk about it. i'm one of them kids, goodbye the

show. they just don't have to shape house because after kids and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground the there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case for the madness of the people. i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also absurd. this is the 3rd world lunacy re washing press for so the funder line likes to say we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deal. so what should be living on not have very good propaganda. you know

a price here in your i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. the more questions ask the better the answer is will be the 1943 at the height of world war 2, bengal was hit by famine. a year before jeff and his troops drove the rate is out of neighboring vermont and came close to the indian possessions of the british empire. london's response to the threat was completely inadequate. the british actively used the scorched earth policy. while retreating, they turned everything around them into an uncouth deserts, having no mercy on other people's territory. food in large amounts was exported to great britain from the starving provinces. boats used for fishing and transporting

food along the river system more confiscated from the local population. the barbaric actions of the colonial administration let the monstrous consequences 10 a year, up to 3800000 people die from starvation and disease caused by mount nutrition. though great britain itself had enough resources to overcome the disaster. at the same time, 170000 tons of australian wheat made its way past starving india debris. it is aisles. i hate indians. they are a beastly people, live up beastly religion. the famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits, british prime minister, winston churchill commented on the reports of the tragedy. the famine of 1943 became the climax in the british policy of genocide against the indian population. according to historians, from 12 to 29000000 people overall died from starvation alone during the reign of

the british in india, the lease of the russian states never as one of the most sense community best to him. then i'll send some of the same assistance to father speed. the one else calls question about this. even though we will fan in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia to day and split the r t spoke neck, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube, the payment services for the question, did you say they replaced the

it is breaking news as our life went off the international, the con, aging, gaza over 19 people that killed when a residential building of the north is destroyed. vine is really striking. many the casualties have so to be women and children who would simply ping sheltering due to the more we are the largest providers to the largest provider of primary health of care. so the question is, this. even if it's on to replace this agency, you end it relief and watch agency and it's kind of stitching refugees reacts to the new israel has bind, it's was it basically serves as a lifeline civilians on the speed of drink cost and depriving access to humanitarian aid and basically using salvation as a weapon of war as part of them no.
