India as a Peacemaker
Tue Aug 11, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan
"On the occasion of India's 80th Independence Day, Lamakaan invites you to a unique dialogue on how India can bring peace in a world torn by war and uncertainty.
In an era where conflicts are erupting all too often across the world and where an unpredictable new world order is rising, Could India actively mediate an end to conflicts and bring peace to a broken international system? What would it take?
Going beyond the headlines, hear about how international diplomacy and peace mediation works.
Join an exploration into why and how India could become a pro-active peacemaker, with Raja Karthikeya, a seasoned peace mediator and international affairs expert."
"Raja Karthikeya is a former international civil servant, writer and international affairs commentator. He is currently Head of West Asia studies at Takshashila Institution.
Previously, over a 15 yr career in the UN, he served in Afghanistan on inter-ethnic trust building and national unity government formation; in Iraq, he led frontline advocacy for protection of civilians during the counter IS IS operations; in Iran, he served as the Un's spokesperson during multiple crises; he also served on the palestine and Peacekeeping policy planning teams.
He was a Research Fellow at Oxford University's Center for the Changing Character of War; and is the recipient of his alma mater, Georgetown University's Centennial Award for leadership and public service. To raise awareness about climate action, He became the first Indian to cross the Arctic and Antarctic circles in a year. He has been awarded Indian and Swiss government commendations for his rescue work after the 2004 tsunami and 2001 Bhuj earthquake. As a volunteer, he led the project that created India's first covid resilient village during the Delta Wave. He is currently Adjunct Fellow and Head of West Asia studies at Takshashila Institution.
He is an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade and Nizam College."
