Great crossroads? Pravesh Gupta, Associate Fellow at the Vivekananda International Foundation in New Delhi

For centuries, Central Asia has been both a coveted prize and a battleground for great power rivalries, serving as a graveyard of empires yet struggling to develop and prosper on its own terms. As the focal point in the struggle for Eurasia moved westwards, to Ukraine, with devastating consequences for the latter, how do the Central Asian nations manage being at the crossroads of global politics? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Pravesh Gupta, Associate Fellow at the Vivekananda International Foundation in New Delhi.

This interview was held on the sidelines of the Fourth Central Asian Conference of the Valdai Discussion Club in Ufa.
