The professor delivered a lecture on the topic of ‘US Policies Towards South-Asia After Post-Cold War’, in which he talked about the recent policies of US particularly for Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Referring to Afghanistan as a graveyard for the US and its allies, the speaker said that the US was now left with no choice but to leave the country. The speaker also shed light on the growing relations of India and the US, maintaining that the bond between the likeminded Trump and Modi could become problematic for Pakistan.
