Audible Unveils Its New Podcast Series, The Nanda Devi Mystery: How India and America Lost A Nuclear Device
Audible, a leading creator and provider of premium audio storytelling has released its newest podcast series, The Nanda Devi Mystery, which deep-dives into the captivating account of the missing nuclear device that interlinks the histories of India and America.
Combining state-of-the-art espionage and mountaineering on the second-highest peak of India, an area off limits to all but the Indian army, this intelligence operation reflected the irrationality and paranoia brought about by the Cold War.
Amidst the ongoing geopolitical tension and conflicts, it is difficult to comprehend how the two countries orchestrated this joint operation against China, merely three years after the Indo-China war and against the backdrop of the India-Pakistan conflict. To this day, the unanswered questions about the lost nuclear device continue to be a matter of concern and intrigue for the locals in and around the area.Â
Produced by Asiaville, directed and narrated by Sashi Kumar, and written by Angshuman Choudhury, the podcast delves into an extraordinary period of modern Indian history when New Delhi actively collaborated with the Central Intelligence Agency and did the unthinkable. The Nanda Devi Mystery podcast is a dramatic story of failure, success, fear, anger, and an inspiring tale of the world’s finest mountaineers. It stands as a testament to the remarkable courage and loyalty displayed by Indian and American mountaineers of that time.
