Abhijit Chavda on Dark Reality of Nehru, India vs Pakistan, British Rule, China, Africa & PM Modi | Supertalks EP 200

Why are the US and China quietly fighting over Africa? Why does a
civil war in Burma matter to India? And what do most Indians not
know about their own history?





In this episode of Supertalks, Raghav sits down with Abhijit
Chavda — theoretical physicist, historian and geopolitical
analyst with over a million followers across social media and
creator of the immensely popular #AskAbhijit Show.





This is one of the most wide ranging conversations we have ever
had on Supertalks — spanning current geopolitics, India's ancient
past and the decisions that shaped modern India.





What we cover:





— Why the US and China are competing for influence in Africa's
rare earth minerals


— The civil war in Burma and its impact on India's northeastern
states

calls it a national security concern

Jawaharlal Nehru's decisions


— Nehru, Tibet and China — Abhijit's perspective on a defining
moment in Indian history


— Partition — the biggest mistakes and what could have been
different


— What if Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had become India's first Prime
Minister?


— Gandhi's choice between Nehru and Patel — and how it shaped
India's destiny


— The Kashmir issue and the United Nations — how it became a
disputed territory


— Why India has not taken back POK till date


— The arrival of Turkic invaders and the history of slave trade
in India


— The real meaning behind the name Hindu Kush


— How British rule dismantled Indian industries and shut down the
Gurukul education system


— Artificial famines during British rule and the truth behind
India's railways

a colonised nation


— The Marathas, the Mughals and the Rajputs — valour, strategy
and honour

strategic wisdom
