Director's Note
My hope for the CCI is that it will emerge as a focal point for faculty and students at Berkeley with an interest in India. There is such a wealth of expertise on India and its contemporary affairs at Berkeley, spanning the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and professional schools. The creation of the Center gives us a new opportunity to come together, build inter-disciplinary bridges, and start new conversations about important topics of shared interest related to India.
