The Chin ethnic movement joining the Indian Union might seem like a wild idea today, but has its origins in the 1980s. Of course, a lot of water has flown under the bridge since & the context has changed. Excerpt from Avinash Paliwal अविनाश पालीवाल’s “India’s Near East: A New History” (2024).

Manipur, Mizoram and the happenings across the border. We would be fools to imagine we know it all or even enough. The story below and follow up link to Avinash Paliwal अविनाश पालीवाल's comment and book to read 👇🏾

Thank you Dr. Shubhda Chaudhary for such a thoughtful, detailed, & kind review essay on India’s Near East in IFAJ. 🙏🏾

Thank you ⁦Rohan Venkat⁩ ⁦Center for the Advanced Study of India⁩ for this deep dive into India’s Near East. From why I framed the book as such, and what this region means for India & its relations w. neighbours, to what I have been reading off late, some great ques there. 🙏🏾 casi.sas.upenn.edu/iit/rohan-venk…

Excellent from Avinash Paliwal अविनाश पालीवाल: "The relationship India has with Bangladesh today is a testament to what can go wrong when you lose sight of what the people are actually thinking" casi.sas.upenn.edu/iit/rohan-venk…

“Paliwal’s book is an important correction to the omission of the historical study of India’s near east. Paliwal convinces the readers that the history of India’s near east is worth reading, pausing, and introspecting on.” Thank you, Adarsh Badri! adarshbadri.me/book-review/re…

.Avinash Paliwal अविनाश पालीवाल's book argues that it would be impossible to understand India's northeast without factoring in New Delhi’s engagement with Dhaka and Yangon/Naypidaw: "I'm telling the story of India's state building outside in... and India's diplomacy and statecraft... inside out."
