Honored to be interviewed by New India Abroad about my book, Asianism and the Fall of Empire: India's Road to Freedom. @historycong @IndianHistory_C @AAPIData @HarperCollinsIN @karteakk @IndiaHistorypic @Global_IH @sanjeevsanyal @fihcr_info @MIHJournal
We discussed forces that shaped India’s freedom movement beyond its borders, the role of Asianism, the relationship between Gandhi and Bose, and the often-overlooked contributions of diaspora networks.
