To tell you the truth what this video tells you, whatever western perception about Africa, it's much better to lived there than in India. That's the message, as a whole they have nearly the same population with Africa slightly ahead BUT their potential is much bigger cause they don't have the caste system to pull them back.

I think the guy in the picture is not even Chinese. He's Psy, a South Korean musician.
Have you seen Michelle Yeoh's most recent husband??
Remarry an old white dude is the fad among the sell-outs.
Biden just gave her an award for no reason:
The biggest pain point for India is that China presents the hard limit to India's Empire project. After being created by the British, India was a local juggernaut in South Asia. It was gobbling up the princely states, kicking the Portuguese out, and had defeated Pakistan in a war. The Indian elites eyed Xizang next, thinking that it is just another princely state who belongs within their sphere of influence, their "Kingdom of Tibet". They didn't know or cared that Xizang is China. Hence they played their games, and had their first proper reality check in 1962. From then on, China became the hard limit to the Indian Empire project, and they have greatly resented China ever since.
India considers itself the preeminent power in Asia, the Vishwaguru. But there is that pesky great nation called China who easily overshadows it every time. India can never accept itself as a junior to China. So it must declare China a rival, even when every objective metric puts India out of China's league. If China is the standard, then India considers itself already there and more. It helps to repair their self-esteem to consider themselves a superior equal to China than what the reality actually is. Hence, everything that China is doing well, India should somehow do better. For example, India has 0km of operational high-speed-rail as of 2024, compared to China's own 45000km of HSR. But! India is a superior rival to China! So India is gonna build better and faster HSR than China by 20XX! Jai Hind!

That is why I find it amusing that the EAM of India, Jaishankar, would so boldly proclaim that India has become the "Voice of the Global South". That's actually insulting to the Global South. Who in the Global South had picked India to become its "Voice"? The Global South had never asked for a representative. Why should Global South nations look up to India as their representative and leader? What has India contributed to the Global South? What is there to learn from India's own development story?
China and Russia had done much much more for the Global South, yet they have never given themselves any lofty titles. They were just doing business and helping out where they can. They do help to get voices from the Global South to be heard. But they never pretend to speak for the Global South.
What I had observed was the opposite actually. China had ignored the threat of India for too long. In fact, China actually pities India, rather than take it as a adversary. That was the case until 2020, when India took China's goodwill and pity as weakness. India backstabbed China when it was in its most vulnerable phase during the 2020 Covid crisis. When China stopped India's backstab, India went nuts, and fully tilted into becoming an enemy nation. It has since then committed to becoming another piece in the US's China containment plan. No matter how miserable India is as a military power, India is a threat that could no longer be ignored.
Divided Trump campaign weighs joining TikTok, the app he tried to ban
The move could spark outrage among Trump’s supporters, but some advisers are arguing it would help him reach young voters who believe it’s cool to be “Trump-adjacent.”
Ivanka's Tiktok account
Tiktok: "I'll show you election interference"
It’s never about policies or the people, it has always been about the votes.
The resentment came from being ignored by Beijing.
Yeah that's true. As stated on this forum, we should not give India so much of our energy that it does not deserve. But at the same time isn't that literally also underestimating India as well? The fact is they have bad intentions cannot be simply ignored. A good leader would never just brush them aside and be unprepared. That's literally the arrogance of the Song dynasty which caused so many problems. So while a China needs to focus on the real battle ahead, it should always have a contingency plan to put India in it's place when the time comes.
Btw I find it funny how Indians keep talking about democracy yet the many of the higher up guys they keep talking never got a fair vote. Who voted to put the brahmins, mughals, Brits, American CEOs, Rishi Sunak, Adani etc in power? Most of them were voted by a select few at best. Did Goa or any annexed places get a real fair vote? Was there a vote held to say they were the global south voice or did they just put themselves there again like they do with many things that no one invited them for?
Even Modi who's supposed to be their beloved icon uses a lot of dirty tricks to like controlling the media to crush opposition. It's really funny hearing hardcore Jai Hinds criticizing Modi for sucking up to Muslims too much but dude doesn't he need to get their vote as well? It's a democracy after all, you don't get to boast about it and get mad when the guy actually tried to get more votes!

India was never ignored actually. Beijing was coming to India with BRI, FDI, BRICS, SCO, and so many lucrative deals. But India just happens to be masochistic. It wants to push away all that Chinese money and goodwill, and instead wants to become a target for spanking the PLA. China had no choice but to prepare to defend itself from an unstable masochist.The resentment came from being ignored by Beijing.
I'm not a Chauvinist BUT why bother and stood on their level, it just a waste of time, effort and productivity. You have experienced it in some form in multiple forum where it takes a lot of energy out of you in just explaining, debating and arguing. Its not worth the effort bro unless if you are a big fan of Mental Gymnastic.
Regarding military capability, China had already check mate the Indians, there is Pakistan in the West, Bangladesh in the East, the Himalayas up North and even tiny Maldives in the South. The string of pearl had become a reality due to the Indians belligerence.
