In this episode of Wide Angle, Maya Mirchandani discusses the standoff between India and Pakistan.

New Delhi: Maya Mirchandani talks to Dr Happymon Jacob and Lt Gen (Retd) Syed Ata Hasnain about escalation dynamics between India and Pakistan.

The recent Pulwama attack saw India’s response in the form of air strikes on non-military targets inside Pakistani territory. On Wednesday, Pakistan carried out similar strikes along the LoC resulting in the capture of one Indian Air Force pilot.

Dr Jacob discusses where things will go from here, using his research on escalation dynamics, presented in his recently published book, Line On Fire: Ceasefire Violations and India Pakistan Escalation Dynamics.
