Description

This episode looks at how a border drawn in 1947 became the fault line for decades of war, nuclear tension, proxy conflict, and political brinkmanship. From the Kashmir question to Kargil, from diplomatic deadlocks to cricket diplomacy — this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a study in how unresolved trauma, national identity, and foreign policy collide.


🧠 Perfect for listeners who want to:


  • Understand the deep roots of South Asia’s strategic instability

  • Analyze post-partition politics through a power-focused lens

  • Connect historical decisions to modern flashpoints
