Teatime Declarations tells the story of the complex, intriguing, and entertaining relationship between cricket and geopolitics. The podcast focuses on the sport we love through the lens of war, empire, politics, diplomacy, and society; or on geopolitics through the lens of on-field heroics, off-field scandal, and everything in between. Each episode will dive in to one topic on this theme, and your hosts Jonathan Russell and Paul Seligman will bring you into the conversation they were probably having anyway.

Episode 13 - The Bharat Army

The Bharat Army

Fresh on the heels of India's test victory over England, bang in the middle of the IPL, and just days ahead of the Indian elections, this episode looks at partition.

We consider Indian independence from the UK, its relationship with Pakistan, and its national identity, with a particular focus on how this has all been reflected in cricket in the subsequent 77 years.

We ask whether the IPL trumps the world cup in Modi's India? Whether its worth risking losing to Pakistan to try and engineer a win? And what the world would have been like with Virat Kohli and Babar Azam in the same side?
