In this episode, Joe and Tush cover one of the most hotly anticipated events in international diplomacy: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s state visit to the United States. We speak to Dr. Rajeshwari Pillai Rajgopalan, director at the Centre of Security, Strategy and Technology at the Observer Research Foundation, one of India’s leading think tanks, to understand what this visit means for India-U.S. strategic cooperation and defense ties, the history of the India-U.S. relationship, and the challenges and limitations faced by both countries in this evolving partnership.
We also discuss the violence ongoing in the Indian state of Manipur as well as the horrific train crash in Odisha.
