    The United States retreat from Afghanistan will have a major impact upon regional 'players' such as India, Pakistan, & China. Moreover, concerns about the rights of women in the region and other religious and ethnic minorities are justified according to many global experts. Dr. Anuradha Chenoy joins us to give us a brief history of Afghanistan prior to the US invasion and what could be expected in the days, week and months to come as the US forces withdraw from the region. Dr. Anu Chenoy is the retired former Dean at the Jawaharlal Nehru School of International Studies in New Delhi, India. Dr. Chenoy has been the chairperson of area studies and director in the center for Russian and central Asian studies. She has also written numerous books, monographs and articles in the domain of security studies, development studies and gender. Dr. Chenoy has held short-term consultancies with the international committee of the Red Cross, UNESCO, Action Aid International, UN women and UN peacekeepers to name a few. She has also evaluated the work of organizations like Focus on the Global South and The Asia Europe Peoples Forum

Her book, “The Disinherited: Christianity and Conversion in Colonial India, 1813-1907” is forthcoming from Harvard University Press. The book-project is an intellectual and political history of the creation of the Indian political self – a self that emerged through an often-oppositional relationship with evangelical Christianity and the apologetic debates arising out of such engagements. Her research was funded by the award of the 2013 SSRC-IDRF dissertation research fellowship which enabled me to conduct research at multiple archives in the UK, in India and in Bangladesh. Her dissertation received the Harold K. Gross award , which is granted annually by the faculty of the History Department at Harvard to the graduate student whose dissertation ‘gave greatest promise of a distinguished career of historical research.” Dr. Banerjee's research interests include the religion and politics in India, the history of gender, hunger and food politics, the history of borders and immigration in colonial South Asia. Prior to her appointment at UW-Madison, she was College fellow at the Department of South Asian Studies at Harvard in 2018 and Assistant Professor of History at Clemson University in 2018-19.   Dr. Mou BanerjeeAssistant Professor of HistoryUW-Madison
