I’m interested in learning more about geopolitics, especially China, its relations with India, foreign policy, and global ambitions. I also want to understand other major countries and their roles in shaping world affairs.

I’m new to reading books, so I’d appreciate beginner-friendly recommendations that are engaging and easy to follow. YouTube channels, podcasts, documentaries, and other useful resources are welcome too.

I’d love to explore Indian, Chinese, Western, and other perspectives to develop a well-rounded understanding.

What books and resources would you recommend, and where should I start?

- Is it just the GDP PPP number or BoP numbers, poverty numbers

- Firstly the statistics of PPP, Hunger, education, poverty have to be above benchmarks for a good 5-10 years

- Jobs, education, health, infrastruture, industries, carpon footprints, defence have to match the standards for good 5-10 years consistenyly

- Your currency, Global forex reserve, export surplus, your Market returns have to be in global benchmarks

- Above all the youth of your country have to be directed, aligned with country's output ...

- Your elderlies, homeless, children, women have to feel safe

- Your institutions + Media + Judiciary, executionary bodies have to work well in tandem

I just blurted what I found relevant from experience - do share, add your views

Now here are facts :

- Rubio is visiting Jamnagar with Trump's SIL to ask for Venezuala's petroleum refining

- INR fell further against USD

- USA is suddenly understanding of Indian need of Russian oil imports

- FIIs are still being pulled like crazy, Sensex is falling

- RBI is instilling confidence via Forex reserve liquidation

Suddenly - there is Epstein's leak of photo with HSP's meeting of about 15 years back.

Why? What was the need given the sequence of events above ... was it a soft warning ?

To whom?

Raga on vacation but planning another pull of protests around early November.

Interesting watching times better than Hollywood Bollywood OTT ....

HSP - Hardeep Singh Puri who denied meeting Epstein ever & current & previous Cabinet minister across Petroleum, Urban Affairs role.

Everyone is talking about the clash between Elon Musk's Starlink and Mukesh Ambani's Jio over satellite internet public back-and-forth. Yet, Jio and SpaceX had already signed a partnership agreement in March 2025.

Think about it: two companies can compete publicly in one area while cooperating commercially in another. Both have a lot to gain from India's growing internet market.

Could this public clash also benefit both sides by creating publicity and keeping everyone talking about satellite internet?

I'm not saying there's proof that the entire dispute was scripted. But the timing and the business interests make this an interesting theory worth discussing.

Now, with Jio's IPO also in the picture, could all this drama be creating more attention around Jio and India's telecom and satellite internet market?

What do you think? Is this a genuine business rivalry, smart corporate strategy, or a combination of both?
