The Hoover Institution hosts Contemporary India: From Domestic Politics to Foreign Policy and Beyond on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 12:00 PM PT to 3:30 PM PT. This event will highlight the entire spectrum of India’s current politics and policies using the recently published Oxford Handbook of Indian Politics as its platform.

The Oxford Handbook of Indian Politics, edited by Sumit Ganguly and Eswaran Sridharan, covers key political institutions, major political parties, and processes such as elections and coalitions in India. It elaborates on critical identitarian issues such as secularism and minorities, caste, gender, and inter-state migration. It also examines issues related to political economy (including political finance), foreign policy, defense, and internal security issues, and brings together a diverse mix of contributors and themes pertaining to the study of Indian politics.
