Special episode: Will India and Pakistan go nuclear? With Raji Rajagopalan

from Stop the World

After Pakistan-based militants murdered more than two dozen Indian tourists in Pahalgam in Kashmir, India retaliated by striking nine sites it says housed “terrorist infrastructure”. Pakistan in turn says it shot down several Indian fighter planes. In this special snap episode, ASPI Resident Senior Fellow Raji Pillai Rajagopalan gives us her insights on whether the two nuclear armed arch rivals will bring the crisis temperature down and avoid the ultimate nightmare—escalation that goes nuclear. Mentioned in this episode: India and Pakistan must manage escalation after Pahalgam attack, by Raji Rajagopalan: https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/india-and-pakistan-must-manage-escalation-after-pahalgam-attack/X thread by Nathan Ruser: https://x.com/Nrg8000/status/1920076797498273961
