Bharat Karnad of the Council for Policy Research: India's foremost nuclear strategic and security affairs expert with strongly nationalist views, will be the guest speaker at our US Northeast BRF Jirga this year.



Dr. Karnad has espoused very strong views on the need for Indian strategic deterrence in its military, economic and scientific aspects. He has honoured us by offering to provide his insights on India's strategic security at our annual BRF meet. He will also engage in discussions and a question-answer session with us.



Here are some of his papers and articles:
