In this episode of The Crux, we examine the fallout from Operation Sindoor: India’s precision missile strike on terror camps across Pakistan and PoK.

Join us as we speak with Bipindra NC, a veteran defence journalist with three decades of experience covering strategic affairs, defence, and geopolitics.

Tune in as we discuss how India-Pakistan relations have evolved over the past decade, India’s current options, Pakistan’s likely retaliation, and the road ahead — both on the battlefield and at the negotiation table.
