In this episode, Sushant Sareen breaks down India’s complex relationship with Pakistan—beyond headlines and into strategy, power, and long-term thinking.

We begin with India’s stance on Pakistan and examine what Pakistan actually brings to the table today. The conversation then moves into controversial territory—targeted assassinations, internal fault lines within Pakistan, and what it would realistically take to weaken the country from within.

Sushant also explains how global powers, especially the United States, have historically used Pakistan to serve their own strategic interests. From there, we zoom out to India’s growing influence in the Middle East, along with the underlying ideological differences that still shape its relationship with Gulf nations.

If you’re looking for a sharp, no-nonsense breakdown of geopolitics, strategy, and ideology—this episode is packed with insights.

In this episode of Dostcast, Abhijit Iyer-Mitra breaks down the realities of geopolitics, artificial intelligence, and global power struggles shaping the world today.

We dive into what Iran’s scientists are actually working on, India’s foreign policy direction, and whether the country is quietly haemorrhaging its resources. The conversation then shifts to the rise of AI in India — why most AI startups might be overhyped, and whether India should even stay in the global AI race.

Abhijit also unpacks global tensions — from Donald Trump’s aggressive political stance to the real possibility of China invading Taiwan. We discuss the truth behind the Epstein files, the strategic importance of U.S. military bases, and whether the Gulf nations are preparing for military independence.

This is a no-filter, high-agency conversation on power, strategy, and the future of nations.

Scams, censorship, religion — most people talk about these things carefully.

Kushal Mehra doesn’t.

I’ve had Kushal on the podcast multiple times. I thought I knew exactly where this conversation would go — free speech, secularism, the usual frameworks.

This one went deeper.

We didn’t just talk about blasphemy as an idea. We talked about how it actually operates in society — the fear it creates, the incentives it builds, and why governments often prefer controlling speech over protecting it.

From “sarr tann se juda” slogans to the reality of cancelling creators, from how blasphemy laws entered India to whether humans can even offend God — this episode goes into territory most people avoid.

We also get into:

• Why free speech is so hard to explain (but easy to lose)

• The truth about triple talaq and religious teachings

• Why Kushal believes religions often oppress women the most

• What a “flat society” vs a “free society” actually looks like

• Concerns around Punjab and cultural shifts in India

At one point, we even break down free speech in the simplest way possible — and that’s where it hits the hardest.

This is not a comfortable conversation.

But it’s a necessary one.

If you care about the future of speech, religion, and society in India — watch this till the end.
