Description

In 1947, free from British control, India and Pakistan split based on religious majorities – Hindu and Muslim. Soon thereafter, the two countries went to war over control of the Jammu and Kashmir provinces. Since then, the conflict escalated into confrontations on multiple fronts, with global implications. After all, both countries are nuclear powers. What is on the horizon with shifting global alliances (think: the US and China)? After Ukraine and Taiwan, is this region the world’s third tripwire?     Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Shamila Chaudhary, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the South Asia Center at the Atlantic Council. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic examines young militants in the Kashmir region.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

Altamar is dedicated to curating an informative discussion on how global issues impact all of us. The show avoids the typical Washingtonian US bias and talks about accelerating changes from a global perspective by featuring diverse guests on a range of foreign policy topics. We aim to rise above the polarization that detracts from the public’s understanding of crucial global issues. Hosted by political analyst Peter Schechter and columnist Muni Jensen.
