#WATCH | On the current situation between India and Pakistan, Washington DC-based South Asia analyst, Michael Kugelman says, "It's really been quite a few weeks given how we saw such a major escalation intentions so quickly over the last few days and then further to be this very sudden... ceasefire that appeared to come out of nowhere, it really is quite remarkable. I think that India-Pakistan relations were at one of the lowest points in a number of decades, and they were closer to going to war than at any time since the Kargil crisis and in that sense, the ceasefire really de-escalated things in a big way. But I think that it will be a fragile ceasefire because we know that tensions remain quite high between both countries..."show more

India has always exercised strategic restraint, even in the face of grave provocations. The recent ceasefire once again highlights India's commitment to peace and stability in the region, despite repeated violations and hostility from the other side. The ball has always been in Pakistan’s court to create lasting peace—India stands firm, prepared, and principled.

Michael Kugelman, a South Asia analyst based in Washington DC, commented on the recent India-Pakistan tensions, calling the swift escalation followed by an abrupt ceasefire "remarkable." He emphasized that the two nations were at their lowest point in decades and closer to war than at any time since the Kargil conflict. While acknowledging that the ceasefire has significantly de-escalated the situation, he warned that it remains fragile given the persistent high tensions.

A much-needed de-escalation, but as Kugelman notes, the ceasefire remains fragile—tensions still run deep.

Ceasefire brings pause, not peace — tensions still run deep.

Michael Kugelman’s analysis highlights the delicate balance between de-escalation and ongoing tensions. While the ceasefire was a positive step, it’s clear that both nations remain on edge. The real challenge lies in maintaining peace and managing these fragile relations moving forward.

This resurgence in US-Pakistan ties has become a tension point in US-India relations, just because there are so many other bad things happening in US-India relations and also the US-Pakistan relationship has really strengthened very quickly in very big ways...If it is true that Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif goes to Washington to meet with President Trump, that would be the latest indication of just how far this relationship has come...Honestly, after the meeting between President Trump and Field Marshal Munir, anything that comes after that would not be as significant, given how powerful Munir is..."

#WATCH | On US President Donald Trump's post on a ceasefire between India-Pakistan, Washington DC-based South Asia analyst, Michael Kugelman says, "We had seen a consistent position from the US government calling for de-escalation, so there definitely had not been any type of active mediation early on in the crisis but the US position from the started had been calling for de-escalation, even though indeed Vice President Vance and President Trump had had signaled that the US was only going to do some watch. There are 2 two reasons why we saw the US jump in the way it did to push for a ceasefire. The first reason is escalation dynamics. This was a crisis that escalated very quickly. You had significant levels of military action that were used by both sides...The second reason is the nuclear issue. My sense is that the US government was very concerned when you had the Indian targeting a particular air base in Rawalpindi, which is known to be near nuclear sites..."

#WATCH | New York | On India-US relationship, South Asia analyst, Michael Kugelman says, "The path to any type of reset in this relationship, the path to stabilizing this relationship and moving away from the crisis is to have a trade deal and so I think it is significant that even with tensions as high as they've been, we have continued to have trade talks in recent days and there's no reason to think that those talks are going to stop anytime soon...If we do get a trade deal, that would be a big confidence-building measure, would restore some trust in the relationship and it would also reduce what has really been one of the biggest tension points in the relationship during this crisis and that's the very high US tariffs that have been imposed on India..." On the H-1B visa fee hike, he says, "This decision to impose high fees on the H-1B visa program. It's another indication that the relationship is still in a bad state, even after we had that phone call between Trump and Modi. The H-1B visa issue is very significant for the relationship because it's contributed in a big way to broader commercial relations and it has really bolstered people-to-people ties. It has also been a big part of the tech partnership between the US and India, given that you have a number of Indian tech companies that have benefited from this program and the workers that are in the US on that program...These kinds of steps make it much more difficult for Indian tech workers to be based in the United States, it represents a pretty significant blow to U.S.-India tech relations"

United States can't - they can talk to (Ukrainian President) Zelenskyy, and they can talk to (Russian President) Putin... India is in a position where it can speak to both and get the ear of both leaders in a way that other major countries can't... Wouldn't it be rather amazing if Prime Minister Modi was the one who is able to negotiate a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, and he's the one who wins the Nobel Peace Prize."
