🗣️ Anurag Acharya: “Given India’s impressive economic rise, the incentives and market India offers are genuine incentives that India has offered in terms of economic partnership. These are the highlights of Narendra Modi’s tenure.” 🇳🇵🇮🇳 youtube.com/live/MoTTZLJGu…

🗣️ Imtiaz Ahmed: “Frankly saying, democracy is not working. In the US, 40-44% of members of parliament are millionaires. When that is the case you should call it a plutocracy. This has also happened all over South Asia. We should not get blinded by this system, we need our own.”

🗣️ Prof. Imtiaz Ahmed: “I think we need to have an indigenous understanding of democracy. I don’t see it as an imposition from the west…we have an extraordinary peace-building civilizational context.” youtube.com/live/MoTTZLJGu…

🗣️ Anurag Acharya: “As the largest country in the region, what India does in its domestic sphere spills over to our nation as well.” 🇳🇵🇮🇳 youtube.com/live/MoTTZLJGu…

🗣️ Asanga Abeyagoonasekera: “The political concern for Sri Lanka is on the maritime domain, where there is a significant contest going on between India & China. I can only see the trend from the Washington think-tank I am engaged with, & I can see more ships from China than the US.” 🇱🇰🇨🇳🇮🇳🇺🇸

🗣️ Asanga Abeyagoonasekera: “You should not underestimate the capacity of small island nations and middle nations. One good example is Thailand, who are now ready to join BRICS.” youtube.com/live/MoTTZLJGu…
