A lovely surprise today to bump into @suhasinih in @Bahrisons_books in the process of buying a copy of Spying in South Asia! I've admired Suhasini's sharp writing on international affairs for @TheHindu for many years & it was wonderful to have a chance encounter.

Stopped by Khan Market in Delhi today to visit the institution that is @Bahrisons_books. Great to see the local edition of Spying in South Asia on the shelves. Better still that Bahri Sons staff had me sign copies that were promptly sold on to customers! @warstudies @CambridgeUP
