(A new book from Oxford University Press NY, 2016)
People of Indian origin—whether they are Indian-born or American-born—make up about 1% of the U.S. population. While there are several anecdotal and journalistic accounts of Indians in America as well as scholarly studies on specific sub-groups of the population, The Other One Percent, co-authored by CASI Director, Devesh Kapur, is the first data-driven comprehensive account of the community.

Crisis, Corruption, and Credibility: Shaping Government Behavior in India
Bilal Baloch
November 21, 2016
In this issue of India in Transition, Bilal Baloch, doctoral candidate in political science, University of Oxford, argues that Indian government behavior in a crisis is not only shaped by external interests, be they domestic or international, but also through the causally independent ideas that parties and individual decision-makers in positions of authority possess.
