Beyond Talks or No Talks: Rethinking India-Pakistan Engagement
About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities of India's Pakistan policy and the dynamics of diplomatic engagement.
Kavya Rai sits down with Aishwaria Sonavane (Pakistan Studies) and Raja Karthikeya (West Asia Studies, UN peace mediation veteran) to unpack why India's Pakistan policy has stayed more consistent than it gets credit for, why the current diplomatic freeze runs deeper than past standoffs, and why grand gestures keep failing while quiet back-channels persist.
