Shashi Tharoor Interview: US Role in India-Pakistan Conflict, Trump's Kashmir Offer & Modi's Silence

Описание: As peace and normalcy are restored after weeks of military conflict between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, the Narendra Modi government now finds itself in a limbo, with US President Donald Trump taking credit for the ceasefire agreement and offering to resolve the Kashmir issue. While Trump's 'interference' in the conflict has irked both BJP supporters and the Opposition, what role did the US exactly play? How legitimate is Trump's claim of 'mediation'?
