Class | Registration opens Monday, September 15, 2025 10:00 AM EDT
Since their partition in 1947, India and Pakistan have fought three major wars and engaged in numerous tense confrontations—many under the shadow of nuclear weapons. This lecture explores the complex and often volatile relationship between the two nations, beginning with the partition of the Indian subcontinent. We’ll examine key historical events, ongoing disputes (such as Kashmir), and the enduring geopolitical tensions that define this nearly eight-decade rivalry. Gain insight into one of the world’s most dangerous bilateral relationships and the regional and global stakes involved.
