India and South Africa are charting their own course in a world no longer shaped solely by Washington and Beijing. With President Trump back in office and pushing a confrontational, America-first agenda, the Global South faces a new test: how to remain independent, influential, and strategic in a fractured global order. In this episode, we explore what multipolarity really means, and why neither India nor South Africa is eager to pick sides.

India has a lot of people. That's it. There is no environment to become a super power.
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Why Jaishanker’s comments were coined as ‘glib’ when it was actually very pertinent to the argument!? Bit of WOKE mindset is coming through it!?
As long as Ramsphosa puts the ANC first, it's doubtful he can shape South Africa let alone the world
South Africa and India? Hardly a threat haha Africa is a mess for the most part.
US is not the centre of the Universe…. Growth of only one country is like cancer growth…
🥲 the way you guys butchered the last name "Ramaphosa"
What a funny statement!? "Putin didnot go to Brazil because he has an arrest warrant by the ICJ." Lol. He can go anywhere he wants including the Hague if he wants too and no one will lay a hand on him. If by now the Europeans or for that matter the world does not understand Russia they will try it. But they wont do nothing because one hour later we wont have an earth in which to try him. So cut the bulshit talking point. He didnt go for reasons other than that. Find out if you dont know. Political realism dictates that Europe bows to him not arrest him. First let them try little BB before they progress to Putin. He can go anywhere whe he wants and nothing will happen to him except Kiev for obvious reason.
India and South Africa shaping the new global order!? LMAO. 🤣
The bottom line for Africa is that the socialist economic system in China, in the process of embodying a free market economy, is good for that country. While the capitalist economic systems of USA and Europe, with money-driven economies (wrongly taken to have free market economies) are good for those countries. Africa, India and other countries should think of developing their own indigenous economic systems. We may be the ones to have economic systems with real free market economies (optimised economic systems).
Dw always manages to sow controversial seed… India n china as we know them, do have political differences, but if they’ve embarked on this coop and remained solid all these years in this coop, why would either jeopardize thr own progress by competing for boss??. It’s ridiculous
This is a wish list. India and South Africa need to address their internal problems before trying to rule the world. I hope that the world will be ruled by nobody, except the UN. A UN, changed to a world Law Court that does not see flags.
0:50 Not mentioning China because you hate China, and yet India thinks its "WHITE" and therefore thinks is Attractive to white, YET after all the rest are done , IT IS NEXT . INDIA IS NOT WHITE…. IT JUST FORGETS A AN EXTREMELY SHORT HISTORY. DAMN.
Well this aged poorly
India and South African,are more like step brother and step sisters,reason being is that, South Africa has a lot of Indians living their
South Africa is weak on the global stage, even weaker than Germany.
Big Up to South Africa. A great country with its beautiful natives that embraces human life all over the world and would rather fight against injustice instead of keep quiet
"Global order" is such an antiquated term stemming from a Hegelian vision of a singularity of absolute power.
Could you use different terminology to address the multi-power rise we're experiencing now, please? Thank you. ♥️
Modi of India is key power broker between the western declining power 🔋 and the new emerging BRICS+ nations 😊

You cannot talk multi polarities without China in the room.
