So much in history never made it to popular imagination — such as the battles of 1967 in which India beat China. Probal DasGupta joins me in episode 412 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss his time in the army — and his fascinating discoveries as a historian: seenunseen.in/episodes/2025/…

A terrorist attack in Pahalgam led India and Pakistan to the brink of total war. To avoid that in future, it is important to shut down Jihadi groups. With well equipped armed forces, why does the country need Lashkar, Sipah, Jaish, & their Difa-e-Watan Council?

Pakistan has historically preferred short, quick wars:1965, 1971. An information war is currently underway to impose costs of waging a future conflict on Pakistan. It is intended to render undeployable Pakistan’s capacity to continue a long war – economically and militarily.

Probal DasGupta Sir, you have covered a lot of ground in this article & the era of running a short war & finishing with a scratch or two is over. Also, if the Nuclear tantrum is no longer an issue will the US or China come to Pak rescue?

What a #tragedy. So many lives lost. Those flying and those on ground lost their lives. Sad day. 37 years ago an airplane crash happened in Ahmedabad in 1988, claiming many lives. Heart goes out to all those who lost their close ones. #planecrash #Boeing787Dreamliner

In 1965, Gujarat chief minister Balwantrai Mehta crashed near the border, beginning the India Pakistan war. That was shot down, of course. it’s the second time a Gujarat chief minister (this time, a former one), crashed around a sensitive political time. There is an eerie
