- It's exciting to see you launch this program. Very briefly, I'd suggest that you focus on the unique position India occupies in the region and in the world, beyond the traditional and usual discourse of IR and great power politics. Some elective courses on India-China and India-US relations are probably very suitable.
  All the best,
