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.
