In this year-end episode of Peace Talks, host Nowsheen Khurram and seasoned analyst Mukhtar Ahmad Ali provide a comprehensive post-mortem of 2025. This year was defined by high-stakes military tension, economic milestones, and a shifting global order that has redefined the South Asian landscape.

Key Discussion Points:
🔹 Operation Sindoor & Conflict: A deep dive into the May 2025 direct military standoff between Pakistan and India, and why it was different from past skirmishes.
🔹 Economic Divergence: Evaluating India’s rise to the world's 4th largest economy and Pakistan’s journey toward fiscal stabilization under IMF programs.
🔹 Regional Turmoil: The impact of youth-led protests in Nepal, the political shifts in Bangladesh (following the Sheikh Hasina era), and Sri Lanka’s tourism-led recovery.
🔹 The Trump Factor: How the 2025 US tariff policies under Donald Trump impacted South Asian trade, from textile exports to rice competition.
🔹 Strategic Pacts: The significance of the Pakistan-Saudi Arabia Mutual Defense Pact and the 2025 Gaza Peace Plan’s regional ripples.
🔹 The Minority Question: Comparing the state of minority rights and religious freedom in India and Pakistan during the 2025 festive season.
