Dear friends,
I'm coming to Washington, DC! I'll be speaking about Beyond South Asia at my alma mater, the George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs at 1957 E Street, NW, next Monday, May 4th, from 5:30-6:45pm. Details are below.
It's a real honor because I'll be joined in conversation by my former professor who'd sparked my interest in the region, the Sigur Center's Deepa Ollapally, as well as Stephen P. Cohen of the Brookings Institution, one of the country's foremost experts on South Asia.
It's particularly exciting because I'll be speaking in the same auditorium that, as an undergraduate, I saw older academics, analysts, and political leaders present their work.
I hope to see all of you! And please do share this information with any friends and colleagues in Washington, DC.
Warmly,
Neil
If you're free, please join me for drinks at another location TBD afterwards as well.

Awash with militancy, ground zero for climate change, and on the brink of nuclear war, the Indian subcontinent has long been known as "the world's most dangerous place." But after decades of deadlock in the subcontinent, India is moving beyond South Asia to access new markets and resources, and to strategically balance against China---and is economically reintegrating the region in the process.
Neil Padukone is the author of Beyond South Asia: India's Strategic Evolution and the Reintegration of the Subcontinent (Bloomsbury, 2014), and an alumnus of George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs. A former Geopolitics Fellow at the Takshashila Institution and Public Service Fellow at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, his work has been published in The Atlantic, Foreign Policy, the Journal of International Affairs, Newsweek's Daily Beast, The National Interest, the World Affairs Journal, South Asian Survey, and the Economic and Political Weekly, among others. Neil was a foreign affairs columnist at the Christian Science Monitor and South-Central Asia commentator for Russia Today TV news.
