I am based in Iowa City, USA. My focus of study is China especially Yuan, Ming , Qing dynasties and the evolution of the present day China. Lately I have become interested in the evolving socio-political scenerio of the South East Asia. As this part of the world shares history and culture dating back thousands of years, my humble effort is to point out many similarities and try to fathom out why societies and nations behave in a particular way. Also as an unintentional byproduct,sometimes these analyses may provide some thoughts which may enthuse your esteemed readers to question the prevailing dogmas. My effort is to present them in an easily understandable format. Apart from these academic interests, every and anything under this blue sky and beyond interests me.
