SAMVAAD ‘21- Suvrat Arora
In a world where deceitful fiction propagates faster than facts, the dissemination
of information becomes paramount; and for that to happen, establishing
a channel for thought exchange is imperative. In an endeavor to ignite
conversations and learning, Thapar MUN Society is back with yet another
edition of Samvaad.
While we are all entangled in deciphering the bliss and miseries the current
situation has to offer, having a sound consciousness of the dynamically changing
world and the international political design is crucial. And when it comes to
international politics, the relations between China and the US have always been
convoluted. However, the connections between these two influential nations
tend to reshape the political aspects of the rest of the world. To help dispel the
dubitation that encircles the US-China relations, this edition of Samvaad shall
converge to deliberating upon:
International Politics with Emphasis on the US-China
Geo-Technology Race and its Implications for India
In order to address this critical subject, Thapar MUN Society is utterly
delighted to have Amb. (Retd) Smita Purushottam as the keynote speaker at
Samvaad.
