Many of India’s neighbors are beset by domestic political turmoil. To the east, tensions are escalating in Bangladesh ahead of the upcoming general elections. And with Myanmar entrenched in civil conflict since the 2021 military coup, New Delhi has needed to navigate its own economic and security interests along their shared border. On India’s western front, Pakistan remains in a state of polycrisis, characterized by political turmoil, economic challenges and growing violence. Looming over all this is the considerable influence of China — with whom India has an active border dispute — and its growing engagement in the region, including its alignment with Pakistan.
Join USIP for a public conversation with Dr. Avinash Paliwal on how India seeks to manage its crisis-stricken neighborhood. The discussion will focus on India's relations with Bangladesh, Myanmar and Pakistan, exploring the impact of domestic crises and the geopolitical competition with China on Indian foreign policy.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
