India and Pakistan - nuclear-armed neighbours - have gone to war before. But a brief, intense battle in May this year marked a dramatic shift in their equations.
India says it has drawn a new red line - that every act of terror it believes has come from Pakistan will be treated as an act of war.
In this series - a first of its kind on Al Jazeera - journalist Sreenivasan Jain interviews leading voices from both sides of the border and examines what India’s new normal - which Pakistan calls a new "abnormal" - means for the countries.
In this episode - Jain speaks with Bilawal Bhutto Zardari - former foreign minister of Pakistan, son of Pakistan's late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and leader of the Pakistan People’s Party.
The question Jain puts to Bhutto: is Pakistan legitimately able to claim that it no longer provides safe harbour to extremist groups that attack India?
