If these reports are true, history has begun to circle back to its original axis.

The UAE turning toward India to counter the Saudi–Pakistan nexus is not merely a strategic adjustment. It is recognition. Recognition that the age of borrowed identities and ideological puppetry is fading, and an older, deeper power is returning to the centre of the world stage.

India does not arrive in the Middle East as a newcomer. It arrives as a civilisation that traded, taught, and shaped this region long before modern borders were drawn and modern states imagined. A Sanatani civilisation that learned patience over millennia, not panic over decades.

What is shifting now is not alliances, but faith in who endures. Empires built on oil, arms, or external patronage rise fast and fade faster. Civilisations rooted in continuity wait. And when they move, the ground adjusts around them.

The contrast is unforgiving. One side is a fractured state repeatedly defeated, militarily humbled, and even cleaved apart in 1971. A creation of geopolitics, sustained by grievance. The other is a nation-civilisation whose power compounds with time. Economic mass, demographic depth, military credibility, and civilisational confidence converging into something irreversible.

This is not India seeking a seat at the table.
This is the table being rearranged because India has entered the room.

The Middle East is reading the future clearly. And it is choosing to align not with noise, but with permanence.

The shift has begun.
 
Indians can celebrate until a new operation tandoor is launched to feel the heat :mush
 
There is a major schism in Arabia. Saudis on one side and Emirates on other.

India may not be able to play both sides the way they traditionally have done in the past. When Emirates asked India to recognise Somaliland, Saudies intervened and put a stop to it. Now Emirates wants them to go public and pick a side.

Will be interesting how India responds.
 
Btw pro preferred your usual posts to the chatgpt enhanced. You made 60k+ plus posts, some of which were occasionally funny, without GPT. You don't need to rely on it.

We are ready to help but there are things we would want in return. UAE must become an Indian state in order to receive complete protection from India and Burj Khalifa must be renamed Modi Bhawan.
 
I have been hearing rumblings that Turkey is also negotiating a defence pact with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. If the UAE is genuinely seeking ties with India and israel as some sort of counterpoint, that would be a slippery slope for them.

The Emiratis need to emulate Iran and make their peace with the Saudis.
 
Without Saudi Arabia, the IMEC corridor would be forced to reroute, most likely through Africa. That shift is exactly what’s being demonstrated here.
 
The UAE is not a strategic counterweight to Saudi, the UAE is a western ally, Saudi is a more important western ally, the UAE has oil wealth, Saudi has exponentially more oil wealth, the UAE is a top down monarchy, Saudi has a king who will pbly rule for the next fifty years. if your talking about counter blocks, the its either UAE + India + Iran / Israel versus Pak + SA + Turkey.

What does each country provide in the Pak SA Trukey potential defense agreement, SA provides capital, Turkey provides a growing defense industry, and Pakistan provides military manpower, and conflict experience, both with domestic and external threats (which both Turkey and Saudi deal with), additionally they triangulate Iran, into being surrounded on all side. Behind the headlines it allows Saudi to procure Chinese weapons via Pakistan without riling the US, it allows Pakistan to assume that in the event of war they will have an oil supply, and it allows Turkey to assume that Saudi will refrain from challenging it in the northern middle east.

What does each country provide in a India UAE Israel potential defense agreement, India has a nascent defence industry, but technologically inferior to that if Israel. India has capital, but neither Israel nor the UAE have geographical defense requirments which they cannot afford to fund themselves. finally, do they share any common threats, no, the UAE feels threatened by Saudi, which India does not have a problem with, India is threatened by Pakistan, which UAE doesnt have a problem with, and Israel is managing domestic security, which it will not want India nor UAE involved with.

finally India normally maintains neutrality, the cost of which it saw when no global power parroted their line about pakistani terrorism being the cause of eventually failed adventurism in operation sindoor. taking sides for the UAE would make no sense at all. i think if india can sell some weapons itll be good PR for their image, but beyond that they have been consistently circumspect in their global positioning, i dont see them chaning that stance, or any other country taking a punt of them changing that stance anytime soon.
 
What we are potentially looking at is the idea of Sanatani States of Arabia on the verge of becoming a reality.

With the full might, weight, volume of Sanatan behind it, Arabia will become great again as it was in the Pre Vedic period when Shiva was the most worshipped deity there.

Interestingly, I recently read 'Shattered Lands' by Sam Dalrymple. At one point, it seemed likely that Dubai would be part of India. As late as the 1930s, residents in Dubai and further afield were issued Indian Passports when they needed to travel. At the time of Indian independence and the Partition, there was a discussion whether the Persian gulf States could be integrated into India or Pakistan.

Yes we all remember that.
Lets be honest, Dubai is an Indian city and its only natural that it is officially made part of the Sanatani empire.

I would suggest reclaiming the rest of Bengal as a Sanatani state before embarking on more ambitious projects across the seas.

We had discussed this with Joshila, Hitman bhai and they all rejected the idea, point being its better to utilize Bangladesh as a dumping yard rather than to include it in the Sanatan.

Arab world is more desirable given the old connections of Shiva to those lands.
Mecca allegedly was built on an ancient Shiva mandir and the Shivlinga still exists there popularly called the black stone by moslems.

You need to link me in to the thread where this was discussed with @cricketjoshila and @Hitman so I can take this up there. I know they love to discuss issues with their former British Raj so am happy to discuss further for sure.

Sorry brother, as much as ai like you, i cannot add you to our Sanatani group chat for. I am bound by rules and confidentiality is paramount, especially given our ambitious plans for 2026.

Fair enough. I shall try to entice them into disclosing future plans in a related thread about Bangladesh, although given the scope of the Sanatani ambition, they may wish to keep it top secret. 💼
 
You heard it here first: I don't know what else will happen in these Ind-UAE-KSA closed door meetings, but over the next few weeks/months, Pakistan will re-open their airspace to Indian carriers, arm-twisted by UAE/KSA just like they were in 2019.
 
India should stay out of middle eastern politics. They can sell arms to them. No boots on the ground.
 
Major money moving investments and strategic partnerships planned

India and UAE have quietly agreed to enter into a Strategic Defence partnership without making big fuss of it in the announcements. Typical behaviour from India. Talk little. Do more.

India and UAE have also pledged to double bilateral trade to $200 billion by 2032.

Enmiratis seem to trust the indian side on this and not Pakistan


Thought I didn’t want India to choose a side but emiratis has been very pro Indian inder mbz so its time to stand with them
 
Very quick meeting. 45 minutes.

What was accomplished? We don't know yet. Emirates are looking for allies after an almighty bashing from the Saudis. I wonder what India signed in this 45 minutes.

I think your spelling of "Enmiratis" gives away your true feelings about alignment with any Muslim nations. If I were you I would not count on UAE siding with israel ultimately, so maybe consider which of these two nations can be long term partners with Bharat.

He is a weirdly anti muslim right wing dude who has styled himself as a pro emirati commentator. I don't think he is actually emirati. He got sued after an appearance on GB news where he called Islamic relief charity, as someone who finds terrorism.
 
There is a hadith of prophet muhammad pointing east from madina where dajjal will come and horns of satan rise.

East of madina is Riyadh obviously our berelvis automatically assumed its the Saudis due to their general hatred of wahabbis , but why stop at Riyadh there keep continuing east and what do you get bahrain , qatar and uae dubai is on the same eastern latitude and when tamim ad dari was at sea which countries have islands no other than those on the gulf coasts uae .

He’s arrival is imminent. Shiva will come to reclaim Arabia where he once ruled before his devotees were slaughtered by camel riders. Let’s not forget the most guarded secret in Islam that the Mecca to this date hosts an ancient Shiva linga.

India-UAE friendship is forever.... His highness Sheikh Mohamed and his brother Rashi Al Maktoum treating all religions equally in UAE. If Jihadi nations learn something from them, then this world become peaceful place to live

Sheikh Rashid was the father of Sheikh Mohammad. And yes both of them gave a danda to both Hindu/Muslims (Ind/Pak) to co-exist peacefully without any dramas. Any trouble makers were promptly kicked out. Actually most North Indians and Pakistanis were forced to become friends because cultural wise they were the most similar (compared to BD SL etc), South Indians were the most hard working and down to earth people, either in tech jobs or Rafeeg from the chai shop or grocery store. The Arabs considered them second class foreigners (humans even) and the whities lived in their their own bubble in Jumeirah so these were usually forced alliances due to circumstances but mostly bloomed into real close friendships.

Almost all Indians I knew there mostly kept their head down and did their work. Don't know what happens to them back home.

This is true Bharatiya spirit unbroken and unfiltered. I salute you @Bhaijaan for daring to dream where other hindutvas cower in the shadows.

No one dreams of it. Ummah is an unachievable concept. There is no Caliph in the world. Muslim people are divided into so many sects that it is a joke to even consider the concept of Ummah. No one cares about it except for the fake Khans and Ahmeds of Subcontinent. :dw

Like I said, Indian posters seem to mention it far more than Pakistanis, and you yourself just admitted you dream of it's demise. Why do you care so much about this unachievable concept?

Sneaky Saudis showing their true colours.
About time Sanatanis put them in their place. Drop the axe on them, Modiji.

You are forgetting that Saudis cannot fight when it comes to war. They can bully Yemen and other weaker nations. The fact is no Saudi wants to fight a war and lose their lives. They have too much money to die over a silly war.

So basically Saudis want foot soldiers who want to fight for them. In comes, Pak army. They will fight for money. A win-win deal for both nations. So in case Saudis are in trouble, Pak will send its army to defend it. If Pak is in trouble, Saudis at best will throw money at Pakistan. No Saudi national will come to the battle field to defend Pakistan.

Anyways, Saudis have chosen their side for now. Lets see how long it will last.
 
Anyone noticed Saudis became real quiet after Sanatanis stepped in to back up the Emiratis.

They know they do not stand a chance against the might of Bharatiyas
 
UAE should now be considered part of Greater israel.

As such it might well become the most desirable destination for Indians looking to escape the poverty of their home country.

Dear Cpt Bhai,

We need to first have a grasp of what UAE is and what most of the Gulf is. Its not the nation or the people of Islamic Ummah but few corrupt royal families looking after their vested interests rather than the interests of the Ummah.

Being the leader of the Muslim world, we have a responsibility to be real but pragamatic about this. All of the Gulf nations are our brother mumaliq. Our relations are with people if the middle east and not necessarily with the families who own these nations in an undemocratic fashion.

I have said it before and will say again. Pakistan is the future of the muslim world. Eventually we will have a controlling stake in these nations Inshahallah when the time is right for a people's revolt and when the infidels will be booted out of these lands.

UAE has only 10% indiginous population, the vast majority of the country are foreign immigrants so when you are expecting a people's revolution...which people?

The future of course is that it will return to Islam, but for now we can consider it part of the greater israel project. Although whether the flag of David will ever fly above it's skies is still to be determined. :unsure:

Certain cannot be spoken or said so openly before the time comes. I just gave you a hint and you’re smart enough to deduct bro. Btw the same holds true for Saudi Arabia and Qatar as well.

Pakistan isn’t just a piece of land between Endia and Afghanistan, Iran etc. Alhamdulilah we are an Islamic movement and our growth is not limited by Geography. The future of the world is Islam and we Pakistanis being its greatest Lieutenants will define the next century Inshahallah.

Islam itself is not more than 1500 years old. May be the whole region can go un-islamic to a non-religious region much like old Chinese / Japanese taking a philosophical route. We never know.

But UAE clearly wanted to pivot itself towards a region with global cities. If it wants to attract foreigners, it needs to remove those religious barriers.

They had done this successfully to be fair, most looked to them as an exemplary modern Muslim state. But by backing a zionist war against their neighbours, they have shown that they are in fact the enablers of religious regimes. :(

The choice is not of UAE royal family alone but that of millions of UAE people, a big chunk of which are muslims who can revolt at any point. We already have Sanatani temples in UAE which is against Islam. Idol worshipping is strictly prohibited on Islamic soil.

From my limited understanding, I don't find any evidence that UAE backed Israel. As a fellow Muslim nation, one can understand UAE backing Palestine TBH. And support for Israel globally is very less once the sympathy on that Music festival attack by Hamas has weaned off.

But backing the US, the whole Middle east has been the culprit. US can have the monopoly on who can have the nuclear arms acting as a global warden in that sense, but continue its attacks on other nations.

But I can understand the UAE stance. They need to depend on the US and have cordial relations in this cynical world. Iran had a backbone + Oil so without much dependence on other nations stood against aggressor. But, I feel we cannot blame UAE in this matter.

The only issue for most of the people with UAE is due to its tough stance on financial matters related to Pakistan.
As Pakistan is doing whats best of itself, same case with UAE. But, you cannot put UAE in the same basket of the US or Israel and blame them.
