New Delhi: Happymon Jacob speaks with Moeed W. Yusuf, associate vice president of Asia Center at the U.S. Institute of Peace, about the lack of India-Pakistan crisis management measures in the context of Imran Khan’s peace offers.

The conversation tries to answer: What drives the Bajwa doctrine? What are the chances of crisis escalation  given that China and US may not work together for a third party intervention? What is the least common denominator India and Pakistan must agree on to better relations? Should normalising relations with Pakistan be a priority for India?
