Join Colonel Vikrant Shinde and Arindam Goswami in this episode of All Things Policy, where we explore the shadowy space between peace and war - the Grey Zone. It's where nations fight without fighting, coerce without conquering, and win without anyone noticing they've lost. From Chinese border villages in the Himalayas to Pakistan's proxy networks, from cyber operations to cartographic aggression - these are the invisible battles reshaping global security. Our guest today, Colonel Vikrant Shinde, a Research Fellow at Takshashila, has mapped this murky terrain with a groundbreaking framework that helps us understand how India faces simultaneous Grey Zone campaigns on two fronts. Let's decipher the invisible war.
