Ep.84 Spying in South Asia: The Powerplay of CIA, ISI, MI6, and R&AW - Part-II | Dr. Paul McGarr
NOTE: Episode 84 is a follow-up of episode 83, so I kindly request you to first listen to episode 83 to connect with our discussion in episode 84.
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.
