00:01India doesn't just have neighbors, it has protectors in between.
00:06Ever heard of a term called buffer state?
00:09Okay, let me tell you. Imagine two powerful countries like India and China.
00:13Now, instead of directly facing each other, there are smaller countries in between.
00:18So, that country is called buffer state.
00:22What it means?
00:23A buffer state is a country placed between two powerful nations to reduce the direct conflict.
00:29To give an example, countries like Nepal and Bhutan act as natural cushions between India and China.
00:37I hope you get it.
00:38Even historically speaking, Afghanistan was a buffer between British Empire and Russia.
00:42Did you know?
00:44So, buffers are like shock observers.
00:47They prevent direct clashes, reduce tension between the two nations, creates a safety gap and helps maintain peace.
00:54You know, it is very very important.
00:57So, next time you see Nepal and Bhutan on the map, don't think they are small.
01:01They are playing a big role in protecting peace around India, guys.
01:05Hope it was helpful. Bye-bye. See you in the next one.
01:08Thanks for coming.
01:08Bye.
