• Rhys Machold examined in depth how Israeli security procedures used against the Palestinians are spreading across the world, including to India, during his April 2025 event with CIPS. Check out his book, Fabricating Homeland Security, for a even more comprehensive look at how Israeli securitization politics became institutionalized in India.
• India’s rise to global prominence is traced by Professor T.V.
