Episode 20 - Indian Influence in Central Asia

Spotlight on Central Asia

This week we look at Kazakhstan being represented in Wimbledon for the first time, a Kyrgyz journalist being charged over coverage of the war in Ukraine, the unrest in Karakalpakstan, and Uzbekistan also introducing a 200,000 som banknote to circulation. Dushanbe's new strategy to end the fighting in Gorno Badakhshan, whilst also banning critical coverage of the country's military draft. And Sedar Berdimuhamedovs cabinet reshuffle, and what this may be telling us about the internal state of the country. We also take a deep look into India's increasing role in the Central Asian region, and what it will be for these nations going forward.

Joining us this week:

- Sahar Khan (CATO Institute)
