IIDS hosted Ideating @IIDS Episode-05 on November 7, 2025, organized by the Center for Geostrategic Affairs, featuring acclaimed writer Ms. Manjushree Thapa in conversation with Mr. Akhilesh Upadhyay, IIDS Senior Fellow.
The discussion examined the intersections of literature, identity, and geopolitics, highlighting storytelling as both a personal and political act. It also reflected on the Nepali diaspora’s ties to home and the pursuit of inclusivity and constitutional ideals.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Ms. Thapa for her profound insights and to all participants for their thoughtful engagement.
