Hello and welcome to my blog!
I am Dr. Soumya Awasthi, and I am excited to announce the launch of this blog, where I will share my insights and analyses on terrorism, geopolitics, and international relations. With extensive research and practical experience in these areas, I aim to provide valuable perspectives on some of the most pressing issues of our time.
1. What to Expect
In this blog, you can look forward to:
- Explorations in Geopolitics: Insights into how religious ideologies shape geopolitical landscapes, particularly in regions like India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
- Security Studies: Discussions on civil-military relations, defense strategies, and the evolving nature of terrorism.
- De-radicalisation and Counter-Terrorism: Analysis of effective strategies to combat extremism, drawing from my hands-on experience with de-radicalisation programs in India.
2. About Me
I hold a Ph.D. from Jawaharlal Nehru University, where my research focused on the impact of religious discourses on regional geopolitics. Currently, I serve as a Consultant for the Ministry of Defence in India and an Expert at the Centre on Armed Groups in Geneva, among other roles.
Stay Tuned!
I am thrilled to share my journey and insights with you. Stay tuned for the first blog post, coming soon, where we will dive deep into the complexities of geopolitics and security.
Thank you for joining me on this journey.
With anticipation,
Dr. Soumya Awasthi
