Raja Qaiser Ahmed, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad will present in the 2017/18 Institute of Asia and Pacific Studies Seminar Series, on Hindu Nationalism and Indian Foreign Policy towards Pakistan.

It will further explicate the dominant political rhetoric of Hindutva, historical anecdotes, its rise as a political narrative and its subsequent impact on India's dealing towards Pakistan. Challenges to India-Pakistan relations under Modi will also be the part of the discussion.
