Episode notes
Gilgit Corridor Is Strategically Valuable But Impractical
- Gilgit-Baltistan is strategically valuable as a physical corridor to Central Asia but is topographically hostile and practically extremely hard to build through.
- Abhijit argues alternate western routes via Jammu or Amritsar into Afghanistan are more feasible than a Himalayan corridor.
Outcomes Trump Narrative Wars
- Winning objectives on the ground matters more than winning the narrative in media battles, according to Abhijit about Israel's Gaza campaign.
- He stresses actual long-term goals determine success beyond media perceptions.
