Ep19: From Pahalgam to Power: India’s Strategic Shift with Sandip Ghose

In this hard-hitting episode, returning guest Sandip Ghose joins us to reflect on the brutal April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack and India's powerful response that followed. We dive into the evolution of cross-border terrorism from Pakistan, the shifting nature of India’s military and strategic doctrine, and whether these threats could derail India’s dream of becoming a Viksit Bharat.

From 1971 to Balakot, and now the targeted retaliation on terror camps, we unpack what these turning points say about India's preparedness, political messaging, and global standing. Sandip also discusses the role of intelligence, the media war, domestic political noise, and how India is navigating this volatile geopolitical landscape—all while chasing economic growth and global relevance.

A candid, layered conversation about security, strategy, and India's future.
