At the recently held Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi, SNI’s Deputy Editor Parul Chandra chatted with Dr C.Christine Fair, an Associate Professor with the Peace and Security Studies Program at Georgetown University in Washington DC. Dr Fair is an authority on political and military matters in the subcontinent and the author of several books. She told SNI that her most recent work ‘In Their Own Words: Understanding Laskhar-e-Tayyaba’ delves into the mind of this terror outfit through its writings and the role it plays within Pakistan. She also held out little hope for peace to prevail between India and Pakistan, noting how the Pak army sabotages such initiatives. #India #Pakistan #sniwire
