In this episode of Unraveled, journalist Marvi Sirmed is joined by South Asia security expert Praveen Swami to critically examine the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack that killed 26 civilians in India-administered Jammu and Kashmir. As the region reels from the fallout and India blames Pakistan, both governments have ramped up military and diplomatic tensions—suspending treaties, expelling diplomats, and issuing warnings of escalation. But what do we actually know about the attack? With over 2,000 people detained under the vague label of “OGWs” (Over Ground Workers), three suspect sketches released without forensic confirmation, and conflicting eyewitness accounts, this episode digs deep into: *1. How the attackers executed the assault and escaped 2. Why Indian intelligence and security forces failed to prevent or respond quickly 3. Whether Pakistan’s involvement is supported by credible evidence 4. The role of local resentment, intelligence breakdowns, and political messaging 5. The pattern of securitization and bulldozer-style collective punishment in Kashmir* As India and Pakistan head toward yet another potential standoff, Unraveled resists the noise of jingoistic media narratives and asks hard, necessary questions about accountability, evidence, and truth in the midst of a highly militarized and politicized environment.
