Indian students pray for a speedy release of Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, in a school in Ahmedabad on Thursday. That’s what Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, an Indian fighter jet pilot, reportedly did after his plane crashed in Pakistan on Wednesday. He was subsequently captured by the Pakistani military in a particularly dramatic development to an already volatile conflict. The hosts asked the guests what the main prerequisite was to be a fighter pilot. During the fighting, an Indian fighter pilot named Kambampati Nachiketa was captured by Pakistani forces after his plane crashed.
