India-Pakistan ceasefire agreement | Worldview with Suhasini Haidar
In this episode of Worldview, our Diplomatic Affairs Editor Suhasini Haidar takes a look at the recent border developments between India and Pakistan. Both countries have agreed to strictly observe all agreements on ceasefire along the LoC and other sectors.
On the face of it, this seems like a simple reiteration of the 2003 India Pakistan ceasefire agreement. But there’s much more. Here are some questions discussed in this episode:
- Was the move really sudden?
- Will it hold?
- How to normalise ties with Pakistan?

Worldview with Suhasini Haidar | India, China and the Line of Actual Control
In this episode of Worldview, our Diplomatic Affairs Editor Suhasini Haidar takes a deeper look at India-China tensions and the disengagement process at the Line of Actual Control.
The two countries have agreed to return to the pre-April 2020 positions in Eastern Ladakh along the LAC, according to the latest disengagement plan being implemented on the ground.
In April 2020, China amassed a large number of troops and armaments along the LAC in eastern Ladakh and other areas along the LAC, leading to stand-offs that have resulted in the death of 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese casualties at Galwan on June 15, 2020.
Two main questions that we answer in this episode:
What are the reasons for China’s decision to withdraw?
Is it too early to declare victory, or even to declare peace?

'The Girl on the Train' is an official Hindi adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ eponymous bestseller, which was also adapted by Hollywood in 2016, starring Emily Blunt, Rebecca Ferguson and Justin Theroux.
The latest re-telling of the thriller is the story of Meera (played by Parineeti Chopra), a lawyer with a dark past and a broken marriage who begins to fixate on the perfect life of a couple she sees in their home while on her daily commute in a train.
'The Girl on the Train' was meant to release in theatres last summer. But the pandemic hit, theatres shut and the world hit pause. It now releases on February 26 on Netflix.

What are trans fats?
Our body requires only two kinds of ‘healthy’ fats - monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. They are a major source of energy. The kind that is harmful to our body is known as trans fatty acids or TFAs. Artificial trans fats, which are considered harmful, are created in an industrial process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils. This is done to make them more solid, increase their shelf life, and for use as an adulterant as they are cheap.

Worldview with Suhasini Haidar | India and the Afghan peace process
In this episode of Worldview, our Diplomatic Affairs Editor Suhasini Haidar takes a look at the ongoing peace process in Afghanistan. The US struck a deal with the Taliban in 2020, to begin withdrawing its troops in return for security guarantees and a commitment to kickstart peace talks with the Afghan government.
But violence across the country has surged despite the Afghan and Taliban sides engaging in those talks since September. The peace talks have been suspended for nearly a month now. In light of recent developments, US President Biden must decide whether to abide by the Trump administration’s commitment to pull all troops by May 1.
On the other hand, India is stepping up its support for Afghanistan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Ashraf Ghani recently held talks virtually and the government signed a long pending agreement to build the Shahtoot Dam. The question is what’s next - for Afghanistan and its future ties with India?
