00:00I am Srinivas Mohan. I live in Nishapatil, Madhya Pradesh.
00:23What is the significance of the Hindu Mahasamudram to India?
00:26The Hindu Mahasamudram is very important not only to India, but also to many countries around the world.
00:38Because the Hindu Mahasamudram, as you all know, is an international trade.
00:47This ocean flows through the Hindu Mahasamudram.
00:51It is called the Three Lanes of Communication.
00:55So, the Three Lanes of Communication flows through the Hindu Mahasamudram.
01:03Also, if we look at it internationally, we have a lot of natural resources in our oceans.
01:15That is one thing. All countries are trying to exploit it.
01:20Thirdly, it is very clear that the Hindu Mahasamudram is the reason for all these military and spiritual activities.
01:30So, the Hindu Mahasamudram is not seen from a military angle.
01:37If you look at it, you have a lot of resources to exploit it.
01:42As you said earlier, if anyone disturbs the international trade, even if they are not able to protect it,
01:53the entire trade will be affected.
01:57Because of this, the energy of the Three Lanes of Communication, we will have a lot of economic problems.
02:08Because of this, the Hindu Mahasamudram is very important.
02:14So, the Indian Ocean is named after India.
02:19The reason why the Indian Ocean is named after India is because India is centrally located in the Indian Ocean.
02:29Europe, Asia, Middle East, etc.
02:34The reason why India is centrally located in the Indian Ocean is because of India.
02:37Secondly, it is because of the Three Lanes of Communication.
02:42Also, India has a very long coastline.
02:46It is 7500 km long.
02:48It is because of the Three Lanes of Communication.
02:50If you look at India, it looks like the Hindu Mahasamudram is buried deep inside.
02:56Because of this, the Indian Ocean is named after India.
03:05The Indian Ocean is named after India.
03:08What are the challenges facing the Indian Ocean?
03:12The main challenge facing the Indian Ocean is maritime security.
03:19So, maritime security is very important.
03:28Where does maritime security come from?
03:32Where does it come from?
03:34It can come from pirates, terrorists, smugglers.
03:41The Mumbai attacks of 2011 were one of the terrorist attacks.
03:48Because of that, we were left behind.
03:51Because of the terrorist act, the Three Lanes of Communication was also a terrorist act.
03:58So, our economy was badly affected.
04:00It was not the Indian economy, but the international economy.
04:02So, security is the biggest challenge.
04:07Environmental degradation is also a challenge.
04:13Environmental degradation means climate change.
04:16Because of climate change, we are facing a lot of problems.
04:20The reason for cyclones is climate change.
04:24Because of the Indian Ocean waters, the climate is bad.
04:31Because of the monsoon, the climate is bad.
04:34Because of the monsoon, the climate is bad.
04:36So, degradation means climate change.
04:40Marine pollution.
04:43Plastic bottles.
04:49Plastic sea character.
04:52When it comes to environmental degradation, maritime degradation,
04:59Fishing is very important.
05:01Irregular fishing.
05:05Irregular fishing means fishing as we like.
05:10Because of that, the cycle is affected.
05:13Irregular trafficking.
05:16If all these are the reasons,
05:19Internationally, in the Indian Ocean,
05:25Suppose, various foreign countries have influence on it.
05:30Particularly, China's influence in the Indian Ocean.
05:33Not only that, our neighbors around us.
05:36How are our relations with them?
05:38Protecting our neighbors.
05:40Protecting our country.
05:43Protecting our ocean boundaries.
05:48All these are major challenges for us.
05:57Now, for any country,
06:00First, security is very important.
06:03First, we have to protect ourselves.
06:05We have to protect our neighbors.
06:08We have to protect ourselves.
06:10Because, now, everyone,
06:12Collective growth.
06:15In 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi came up with the concept of Sagar.
06:24Sagar means security and growth for all in the region.
06:31That means, security, growth,
06:34Not only for us, but for everyone around us.
06:39He came up with the concept of Sagar.
06:41Not only for us, but for everyone around us.
06:45That is the concept of Sagar.
06:47Now, the whole world,
06:50No matter who has security,
06:52Everyone is collective.
06:54So, to become the regional leader of India,
06:58With the intention of becoming,
07:00He came up with this concept.
07:02That is why, security is very important for any country.
07:07So, if we want security,
07:09We need an all-dimensional Navy, Air Force, Army.
07:14If we look at the Indian Ocean,
07:17The Indian Navy is one of the best navies of the world.
07:22We have excellent ships, aircrafts, and submarines.
07:27So, the Indian Navy is one of the three-dimensional forces.
07:32So, how much we can contribute to it,
07:36We have to do it based on the threat.
07:40How will the threat be?
07:42How will the threat come?
07:44So, that continuous process,
07:46We should not have any complaints.
07:48So far we have ships,
07:50This type of aircraft is enough.
07:52We cannot say that.
07:54We cannot have any complaints.
07:56We do not know how the threat will come at any time.
07:59So, we should always be ready.
08:04We should build up our capacity.
08:06Not only that,
08:08As I said earlier,
08:10Regionally, with META and Satsang,
08:13It is important to build up our security together.
08:17That is why,
08:19We have various agreements with foreign countries.
08:23We have to exercise with them.
08:25We have to build up with them.
08:28So, this regional cooperation is very important.
08:31Military regional cooperation is very important.
08:33Sagar is one of them.
08:35So, in this,
08:37Our country,
08:39If we look at our defense,
08:41It was based on foreign countries.
08:44Ship building,
08:46Or technology.
08:48So,
08:51India is self-reliant.
08:55So,
08:57For that,
08:59Self-reliance,
09:01Self-sufficiency.
09:03If we look at it that way,
09:05We develop our own technology.
09:07We develop our own military equipment.
09:13Not only that,
09:15India's vision is that.
09:17Prime Minister's vision is that.
09:19We have to be world leaders.
09:22In our sea security.
09:26After that,
09:28To develop our military equipment,
09:31We have to be aggressive.
09:33We have to be aggressive.
09:35That is our national vision.
09:37That is definitely happening.
09:39What else do we need today?
09:41If you look at it today,
09:43Prime Minister,
09:45Three warships,
09:47They were built in India.
09:49In Mezagon Dock.
09:51Today, the commissioning,
09:53This is the first time it has come to my mind.
09:55Three warships,
09:57Being commissioned at the same time,
09:59It is a remarkable thing.
10:01Because of these warships,
10:03Not only India,
10:05Not only Indian Navy,
10:07There is a good chance that
10:09Regional forces will be there.
10:11That is how we are moving forward.
10:13You saw recently,
10:15In Vishakhapatnam,
10:17In Vishakhapatnam,
10:19On 4th January,
10:21In front of our honourable
10:23Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu,
10:25Indian Navy Eastern Command,
10:27They have shown an operational demo.
10:29How can we do it?
10:31How the Indian Navy is capable.
10:33We have shown this to the public.
10:35At that time,
10:37Chandrababu Naidu spoke.
10:39I was present during that time.
10:41He appreciated
10:43Chandrababu Naidu did very well.
10:45Because of Indian Navy,
10:47He referred also,
10:49When Hood Hood happened,
10:51I was with Chandrababu Naidu at that time.
10:53I was with him when he was Chief Minister.
10:55At that time, how the Indian Navy supported.
10:57So, all of them,
10:59It was a great talk about the Indian Navy.
11:01So,
11:03I worked as an additional DG in the Indian Coast Guard.
11:05So, I want to tell about
11:07The Indian Coast Guard is also
11:09Working shoulder to shoulder
11:11With the Navy.
11:13We have sister service.
11:15So, the Indian Navy,
11:17The Indian Coast Guard is very supportive.
11:19Particularly,
11:21Coastal security.
11:23Now, I can say that
11:25India is
11:27Not only self-reliant,
11:29Not only military,
11:31Military cooperation,
11:33Maritime cooperation,
11:35We are in the right direction.
11:37Prime Minister has correct vision.
11:39Minister of Defence
11:41Is taking correct initiatives.
11:43So, today's
11:45Commissioning is an example.
11:47So, we are going in the right direction.
11:49And, we will
11:51Be able to secure our country.
11:53Not only securing our country,
11:55Our neighbouring countries also
11:57We will cooperate with them.
11:59Our regional development,
12:01The vision of
12:03Sea,
12:05To realize it,
12:07I completely believe that
12:09We are going in the right direction.
