Is India Doing Enough After Pahalgam? Lt. Gen. Raj Shukla Breaks Down the Pahalgam Attack | TJW 130

Описание: In this deeply important episode of The Journey Within Podcast, Shobha Rana is joined by Lt. Gen. Raj Shukla (Retd.), former Commander of India's Army Training Command and a strategic military thinker, to discuss the 2025 Pahalgam te*ror attack—one of the deadliest targeted attacks on civilians in Kashmir in recent years.

This episode goes beyond headlines and breaking news, diving into the strategic, political, and psychological layers of this attack. With 26 tourists killed and dozens injured, the conversation covers the growing threat of hybrid militancy, Pakistan’s evolving proxy war strategies, and the long-term security and geopolitical implications for India.

Lt. Gen. Raj Shukla brings his battlefield experience, intellectual clarity, and geopolitical depth to unpack:

What the Pahalgam attack signals about India’s internal vulnerabilities

The role of ISI-backed hybrid militants in Kashmir

Why India's military response needs a doctrinal upgrade

The relevance of information warfare and psychological manipulation in today’s asymmetric conflicts

What India’s civil society and government must do next — beyond diplomacy and outrage

This is not just a military conversation — it’s a wake-up call for every Indian who wants to understand the new age of ter**orism, and the path India must take to protect its people and sovereignty.
