The NDA government that came to power in 2014 also carried forward this legacy and shared the same ideology. However, the last few months have heralded a new, but alarming chapter in our peaceful approach. Relations with countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Indonesia- which were extremely tranquil- have now begun to sour. Meanwhile, the progress that we seemed to have made with our adversaries, China and Pakistan, have also diminished. In this episode of the Deshbhakt, we try to understand what issues led to the weakening of ties between India and its neighbours and what role did China have to play in all this disorder.....also - what were we doing when China was making its moves. ** Subscribe to #TheDeshBhakt to unlock Discord / Exclusive Chats / Content ** PATREON MEMBERSHIP - https://www.patreon.com/thedeshbhakt (International Credit Card / Debit Card) JOIN MEMBERSHIP ON YOUTUBE - null.
