On March 11, Indian legislative assembly election results from five states — Goa, Manipur, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh — will be announced to the public. Nearly 240 million Indians reside in this group of states alone. Policies the newly elected state governments implement will have a significant impact on these states’ economic competitiveness as they strive to develop advantages that translate to jobs and growth.   Dr. Kartikeya Singh, Deputy Director of the CSIS Wadhwani Chair, sat down with Dr. Amit Kapoor, President and CEO of the India Council on Competitiveness, to talk about the pending elections, the connection between governance and competitiveness in India’s states, and how public and private sector partners in the United States and around the world should interpret the elections. Hosted by Will Colson.

In this episode we investigate India’s drug trafficking problem. South Asia’s traditional opium and heroin networks are now complemented by the rise in abuse of synthetic precursor chemicals. Large volumes of each type of narcotics are smuggled from and through India to the rest of the world, including the United States. To help listeners understand this multifaceted transnational criminal problem and its impact on India and the United States we turned to the Drug Enforcement Agency’s Country Attaché in India Derek Odney and illicit drug control expert Dr. David Murray of the Hudson Institute. We also hear from Brigadier Gurmeet Kanwal, a Delhi-based adjunct fellow with CSIS, and the CSIS Wadhwani Chair’s Natalie Tecimer to learn more about the situation on the ground and what U.S. and Indian officials are doing to counter the threat.
