India: An Uncertain Balance Abroad and at Home
Featuring Ambassador Nancy Powell, U.S. Foreign Service, Retired
Ambassador Nancy Powell will provide a broad overview of India’s role in the world today and a snapshot of its complicated domestic situation. India is a major nuclear and military power and an IT leader, yet is home to one of the world’s largest impoverished populations and difficult religious conflicts.
Ambassador Powell has almost two decades of in-country and regional experience (India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh) as background for her presentation and discussion with us. She retired from the U.S. State Department after a stellar 37 year career which included five ambassadorships.
