In this episode, we explore the security dynamics between India and Pakistan in the context of recent incidents and long-standing tensions.
We also assess Pakistan’s internal challenges, ranging from political and economic instability to growing radicalization, and how these factors could shape the broader regional security landscape. Drawing on his experience, Col Sodhi discusses the nature of asymmetric threats and the importance of a multi-dimensional strategy, including diplomatic, economic, and military measures, to address the root causes and infrastructure behind terrorism.
Questions covered in this episode:
- Introduction to the subject matter expert.
- Colonel, despite mounting evidence and repeated attacks like the recent Pahalgam incident, Pakistan continues to deny harboring terrorists. Why do you think this denial persists, and what strategic advantages does it serve for Pakistan?
- India’s targeted strikes on nine terror locations signal a shift toward a more active, offensive defense. In your view, how critical is it now for India to maintain a sustained, active approach rather than reactive retaliation?
- “When we look at Pakistan’s current internal situation — political instability, economic collapse, and rising radicalization — how does this crisis reflect the bigger, long-term threat to regional stability?
- You’ve often spoken about asymmetric warfare. How does Pakistan’s use of terrorism fit into a broader, long-term tactical playbook — and what should India and the international community recognize beyond these ‘small set’ attacks?
- Given your military experience, what concrete steps should India and its allies take diplomatically, economically, and militarily to not just respond to terrorism but to dismantle the larger infrastructure that sustains it inside Pakistan?
