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 for its strategic needs—and making peace with Pakistan in the process.

ICI is pleased to present a discussion with Neil Padukone. Mr. Padukone is a Geopolitics Fellow at the Takshashila Institution and a former 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, the Huffington Post, and the Economic and Political Weekly, among others. Neil is a former foreign affairs columnist at the Christian Science Monitor and South-Central Asia commentator for Russia Today news. His  book Beyond South Asia: India’s Strategic Evolution and the Reintegration of the Subcontinent was published in August 2014.

Joining Mr. Padukone will be Thomas Graham. Dr. Graham is a scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory and  has worked in government (U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, Brookhaven National Laboratory) and the non-profit sector (Rockefeller Foundation and The Second Chance Foundation).
