In this special episode of ThePrint WorldView, Dr. Swasti Rao, foreign policy expert and consulting editor, is joined by Kabir Taneja, Deputy Director of Strategic Studies and Fellow for the Middle East at the Observer Research Foundation. The conversation delves into the strategic and ideological forces behind the Pahalgam terror attack, examining how groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Al-Qaeda, ISKP, Hamas, and the Taliban continue to influence the region. Kabira Taneja unpacks the complex web of transnational networks, their evolving tactics, and their reliance on modern funding channels like crypto. The episode critically assesses India's counter-terror response, especially in light of Operation Sindoor, and highlights the limitations of diplomatic tools like dossier diplomacy. It also questions the effectiveness of international frameworks such as RATS under the SCO, suggesting that India's approach may need to move beyond multilateral rhetoric toward more assertive, sustained strategic measures. #pahalgam #indiapakistan #indpak #indopak #pakistan #indianarmy #modi
