The city of Jaipur is charming in every way and I have had the pleasure of being posted there once in my career. It has wonderful people and great culture on display everywhere; a tourist destination of some distinction on the world tourism maps. Jaipur Dialogues introduced in 2016 brings to this lovely city an institutional opportunity to discuss and be educated on comprehensive security matters to include geopolitics, international strategic affairs, internal security, science and technology, ideology and culture. This was an area thus far the apparent reserve of Delhi and to some extent Mumbai and Pune. Putting together some panels of great distinction Mr Sanjay Dixit, the moving force behind the annual event, has created a footprint of intellectual excellence in Jaipur. I spoke at the first ever Jaipur Dialogues and received a great response and that’s why I intend to ensure I get right back there at the second outing; in fact I eagerly look forward to it.
