The podcast where we take a deep dive into one subject in each episode
The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeThis week, we launch our new, fortnightly podcast, Let’s Talk About. In this series, we bring you nuanced explorations into one subject in every episode. No short cuts, no crash courses, but a deep dive that offers you perspective. The first subject we consider is Kashmir, coveted by two countries and home to one of the longest-running insurgencies in the world. Abhinandan Sekhri tries to figure out what is about the Kashmir problem that nobody — from Jawaharlal Nehru to Atal Bihari Vajpayee to Narendra Modi — could solve it. We talk to historians, journalists, activists, authors and ex-Army officers who were stationed there, to tell us about the disappointments and complications that have made Kashmir so precious and ever more contentious with every passing year.
Since it’s the first in the series, we’ve got two episodes on Kashmir and the first one is available to all our listeners. The second part of Let’s Talk About: Kashmir will only be available to subscribers. Click here to subscribe.
