Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium
India is in the midst of its national elections. While local
development issues are foremost on the minds of India's rural
voters, terrorism in the wake of last November's attacks in Mumbai
and the impact of the global economic downturn also are driving the
election campaign. Voting is being conducted in five phases,
ending on May 13th, following which a new Indian
government will take the reins. What kind of government is
likely to emerge? Should we expect major changes in Indian
foreign policy priorities? What will this mean for the future
direction of U.S.-India ties? India-China relations?
Indo-Pakistani tensions and regional trends? Please join us
for an event with distinguished experts who will help explain the
significance of India's elections and their implications for the
future of U.S.-India ties.
