Скачать или смотреть Imagining a united future: Ajmal Qureshi on India–Pakistan, peace, and visionary leadership

In this episode of Sapan Stories, Ajmal Qureshi, former diplomat and longtime advocate for regional peace, reflects on an alternative history of Southasia. What if India and Pakistan had grown as friends rather than rivals? What opportunities were lost, and what kind of region could have emerged?

Drawing on his diplomatic experience, Qureshi imagines how cooperation instead of conflict might have shaped prosperity, people-to-people ties, and shared progress across borders. He also makes a compelling case for the urgent need for visionary leadership that looks beyond nationalism toward collective futures.

This conversation invites us to rethink history, question inherited hostilities, and imagine what Southasia could still become.
