India’s Brahmaputra Bet
from All Things Policy · host Takshashila Institution
In this episode of All Things Policy, host Kavya Rai speaks with Dr Y Nithiyanandam about the growing geopolitical and ecological stakes surrounding the Brahmaputra River. From China’s proposed mega-dam in Tibet to India’s counter-dams and ambitious power-grid plans, the conversation explores how energy transition, disaster risk, local resistance, and transboundary governance intersect in one of Asia’s most fragile river basins. Moving beyond alarmist narratives, the episode asks what sound policy, credible data, and regional cooperation must look like when a river becomes an energy system, a strategic asset, and a governance challenge rolled into one.All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru.Find out more on our research and other work here: https://takshashila.org.in/research-areasCheck out our public policy courses here: https://school.takshashila.org.in
