Was a privilege to see the work of emerging scholars from across the country @TakshashilaInst's 2nd conference of the Network for Advanced Studies of Pakistan. The TI folks are seriously invested in creating the next generation of Pakistan experts in India--much needed!

Prashant Singh (@Prashant3855) & Divyangana Harit (@divyanganaharit) analyse how social media shaped political discourse in Pakistan in their paper, 'Impact Analysis of Social Media on the Political Discourse in Pakistan: A Case Study of PTI’s Campaign Strategy in 2024…
