Strategic Lecture

The Lowy Institute and the Australia-India Council, with support from Asialink, present India in East Asia with Professor Raja Mohan.

His previous appointments include Diplomatic Editor and Washington Correspondent of The Hindu; Professor of South Asian Studies at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and two terms on India's National Security Advisory Board.
