S2 E98: Major General Vikram Dev Dogra on India’s War With Pakistan
This episode was shot on the morning of May 9th, just hours before India and Pakistan agreed to a so-called “ceasefire” — which has already been violated by Pakistan.
Major General Vikram Dev Dogra (AVSM), known as the Ironman of the Indian Army and former GOC of a Strike Division, joins Gaurav Arora for an unfiltered, urgent conversation about Operation Sindoor — India’s largest, most direct military strike inside Pakistan since 1971.
In this interview:
- Why India struck 9 targets inside Pakistan
- What the Indian Navy is doing at the Karachi port
- The real reason Pakistan keeps provoking war
- How Pakistan’s military survives on Allah, America, and Army
- And what India must prepare for next — even as the media celebrates “peace”
🎯 This episode is not reactionary. It’s reality.
