Is Agaléga Island Really an Undeclared Indian Military Base?
Mar 5, 2024
Agaléga, a tiny island in Mauritius' Outer Islands, has been the focal point of an ongoing conflict between India and Mauritius. While Mauritius says that Indian-built facilities such as airstrips and radars are for civilian use, reports indicate that they support India's military presence and maritime monitoring in the Indian Ocean region. The incident raises doubts about whether Agaléga is an undisclosed military facility, part of India's attempt to oppose China's influence, and whether India misled Mauritius about its true ambitions on the island under the pretext of security cooperation.

Our AI Policy for Videos
We understand AI is here to stay and grow. We are letting our viewers know our policy for the same.
1) We do not let AI create the core content - The idea for the video and the story. AI is not yet accurate anyway, right?
2) We use AI Voice - We have tried real human voice before. But, AI voice allows a smooth flow, saves time with no multiple takes, and maintains consistency of delivery.
3) We use AI for certain tasks -
a) Converting units (say, one currency to another or thousands to millions, converting time zones, etc.)
b) Save time on searches. For example, it saves us time if we need to verify a fact and want AI to pull different sources.
c) In rare times, we would like AI to simplify a complex subject for our viewers.
d) Sometimes, we ask AI to arrange our data into a table.
e) Sometimes, generate an image that will help us to create covers or images that help explanations.
We do verify what AI does as it is not yet a perfect tool.
Our task for AI is to save our time for routine work.
