1. How should the U.S. deal with countries that are both geopolitically important and politically unstable, such as Pakistan? Does the U.S. need for political allies outweigh its role as a good neighbor and role model?
2. India and Pakistan have been involved in a very contentious and dangerous relationship. Both are nuclear powers and have been fighting over various issues since India's independence, how do you propose that the world respond and help to diffuse this dangerous conflict?
3. How do views of women's role/women's equality affect roles and environment in India and Asia? What is your evidence of inequality and does it matter? Why or why not?
4.What do you see as the biggest issues facing India as they become both the world's most populous country (by 2030 or sooner) and a world economic power? How do you see these issues as affecting this growth and what do you think would be the best way to approach these issues (assuming you were able to advise the Indian Prime Minister). (Please note, I realize that giving advice is difficult, but you don't have to solve the issues, just recognize how it would be beneficial to even look at the problems.)
