Description
Why did Richard Nixon favour Pakistan while Indira Gandhi stood firm on India’s sovereignty? This video dives deep into a forgotten Cold War chapter when the US-India relationship hit rock bottom. From Nixon’s secret China deal brokered through Pakistan to his infamous "tilt" during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, we decode the geopolitics that shaped South Asia. Watch how Indira Gandhi pushed back against US hostility, signed a landmark treaty with the USSR, and turned India into a nuclear power. A gripping story of diplomacy, betrayal, and resistance.
