Let Me Explain: What are India’s options after the Pahalgam attack?

It's been more than two weeks since 26 people were brutally murdered in broad daylight.

Not on a battlefield. But in Kashmir’s Pahalgam. A beautiful tourist valley was turned into a killing ground by a group of terrorists. And this isn’t the first time India has seen something like this unfold.

Over the last two decades, there’s been a chilling pattern: Terror groups based in Pakistan, often backed by its military or intelligence agencies, carry out attacks in India. 

Pakistan officially denies any involvement.  The world condemns the violence, tensions spike, and then, slowly, things return to “normal.” Until it happens again.

So after Pahalgam, what are India’s options? In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna looks at these questions and more.
