No idea what he's saying and no subtitles. Lots of militaries screen for inguinal hernias, but ball size? I assume that's what he was demonstrating with the balloons.
The banana bit is a little...questionable.
Read the comments on that video and most people are saying it's to measure their "SEMEN" because the high measurement of semen is a sign for "a good warrior" or some sssh like that.

The whole theory that China is using the BRI as a strategy to contain India militarily is kind of nonsense.
The whole point is to give China alternative routes for trade and supplies. So while China builds pipelines and rail, India gets military bases.

The BRI relationships might evolve in a military dimension in the future but that is certainly not the case now. And India was also invited into the BRI but they stupidly refused.

Pretty interesting theory from this Indian channel.


Indian strategic theorists always seem to ignore one point intentionally or out of ignorance :

India is not located thousands of miles away from China in another continent. India is right next door to China and China can easily retaliate against any stupid move in the Indian Ocean.

Quoted below is my post in another thread (Lakash Flash Point) earlier this month on what China can do without using any troop on Indian ground.

Seriously doubt India will dare to choke off China's sea lane trade route in the Indian Ocean. It is a declaration of war. China has too many response options that does not even involve any ground troops. Just to name a few.
  • The first one is already mentioned by @SEAD using ASBM. China can take out Indian aircraft carriers, one after another, with land based ASBM, unless they stay far out in the Indian Ocean and never return to shore. To add insult to injury, the Chinese land based ASBM will fly over India to hit those carriers.
  • There are ample military and civilian targets within 500 km of the border with China, including New Delhi. Taking out one a day, starting with military targets, by SRBM, LRCM and long range rockets until India ceases hostility.
  • Cyber attack on infrastructures like power generation etc.
  • Taking out Indian communication, surveillance and navigation satellites one after another.
  • Divert water from Yarlung Tsangpo/Brahmaputra River. This is a less desirable option as it will affect Bangladesh too.

I do wonder though, if India does disrupt trade through that entire region, how much would it piss off their so called "allies"? Surely they'll feel the economic bite as well.

magazine concerning the "Akhand Bharat" dreams of the RSS/BJP:

For decades, India’s Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)—the Hindu nationalist organization with close links to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)—has put forward the idea of Akhand Bharat or an “unbroken India.” The proposed entity stretches from Afghanistan on India’s western flank all the way to Myanmar to the east of India as well as encompassing all of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself has mentioned the idea: In a 2012 interview, when he was still the chief minister of Gujarat, he argued that Akhand Bharat referred to cultural unity.

Last month, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat told a public gathering that India will become Akhand Bharat in 10 to 15 years, providing the first timeline for a Hindu nationalist pipe dream. Besides heading the RSS, Bhagwat is a very powerful figure in today’s India because of his personal relationship with Modi. The BJP is one of a few dozen institutions that comes under the direct control of the RSS, which now holds the most power since it was founded in 1925. Modi was a full-time RSS campaigner before it assigned him to the BJP, and he considers Bhagwat’s late father to be a mentor. Indian corporate leaders and foreign diplomats recognize Bhagwat’s clout, visiting him at RSS headquarters in Nagpur, India. His words must be engaged with seriously, not dismissed offhand as the fantasies of an old man.

The idea of Akhand Bharat is a core tenet of Hindutva ideology, a century-old doctrine of Hindu nationalism. Now, with its own map and nomenclature, it is being taught to students in RSS-run schools across the country. Modi’s government seems to assert that this political geography transcends present-day borders. Its proponents imply that achieving Akhand Bharat will come after India is refashioned as a de facto Hindu Rashtra or “Hindu nation”—even if it remains a constitutional republic. This does not bode well for India’s democratic values. Modi has often presented himself as a Hindu ruler, a shift accompanied by increased violence against Muslims in India.
