The newsletter covers our on-ground learnings on India's China story. Our learnings are shared through:
1. The meetings and events the team attended.
2. Articles published in the international media.
3. An interview with a former PhD student, Rajeev Balakrishnan, who studied at China Agricultural University in Beijing. His interview sheds light on why he chose China to pursue his doctoral studies, Chinese academic culture of inclusivity of Global South students, information on Chinese scholarship, and whether language was a barrier for him while studying.
4. Media comments and book recommendations.
