In this episode, we discuss the shadowy world of espionage in South Asia, where the CIA, ISI, MI6, and R&AW have been engaged in a high-stakes game of intelligence and power for decades. From the covert operations of the Cold War to the proxy battles in Afghanistan and the ongoing tensions in Kashmir, these intelligence agencies have played pivotal roles in shaping regional geopolitics. Join us as we uncover the clandestine missions, spy networks, and double agents that have defined the South Asian intelligence landscape.About the guest speaker:Paul McGarr is a lecturer in intelligence studies at King’s College London.
