    Episode 4: A Bloody Valley with Hari Prasad

    Welcome to the Silk Roads and Monsoon Winds Podcast. A podcast where we look at everything modern Asia! Joining me for my fourth episode is Hari Prasad, an independent researcher on Middle Eastern and South Asian politics and security, focusing on extremism, non-state actors, and counterinsurgency. He specializes in counterinsurgency operations in the Kashmir region of India.  We discuss the India-Pakistan rivalry in light of the recent escalations which took place in February, why he thinks a stalemate is going to continue, the ongoing conflict in Kashmir and who is to blame, and what role he thinks the US should play in bringing peace to the subcontinent.  Follow Hari at @HariPrasad91 Sources mentioned in episode  https://www.amazon.com/Our-Moon-Has-Blood-Clots/dp/8184000871/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Rahul+Pandita&qid=1553056324&s=books&sr=1-2-catcorr  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1439109117/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0  https://www.amazon.com/Generation-Rage-Kashmir-David-Devadas/dp/019947799X  https://warontherocks.com/2019/02/drivers-decisions-dilemmas-understanding-the-kashmir-crisis-and-its-implications/  https://thediplomat.com/2019/03/jaish-e-mohammed-under-the-hood/  https://www.amazon.com/Not-War-Peace-Motivating-Cross-Border/dp/0199467498  https://twitter.com/IndiaToday/status/1105120433588719616  https://www.amazon.com/Brokering-Peace-Nuclear-Environments-Management/dp/1503604853/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=moeed+yusuf&qid=1553057476&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull  Intro and outro music: 'Six Feet Off The Ground' by Nana Kwabena  Cover photo: Indian policemen stand guard during a curfew in Srinagar, Indian-administered Kashmir in 2016, TRT World and Agencies.
