Part 4 of Raghav Bahl’s riveting historical series on the triangular relationship between America, India, and Pakistan dives into the high-stakes Cold War era of the late 1970s through early 1990s.

Bush underwent dramatic shifts.

1. India’s refusal to sign the NPT
2. Pakistan’s secret nuclear ambitions
3. Reagan’s covert support for Afghan Mujahideen
4. Indira Gandhi’s frosty ties with Washington
5. The changing strategic importance of Pakistan
