About us
The Ashoka Society for International Affairs (ASIA) is the premier student-led platform for engaging with global politics, diplomacy, and international relations at Ashoka University. We aim to foster a deeper understanding of international affairs by creating spaces for discussion, research, and critical analysis of pressing global issues. At ASIA, we believe that international relations go beyond statecraft and treaties—they shape the world we live in.
Through a multitude of events, written pieces and speaker sessions, we encourage everyone across boundaries and institutions to engage with the state of the world around us from diverse perspectives. Our flagship initiative – the Annual International Relations Conference – posits a forum for students and academics alike to engage with contemporary notions of interest pertaining to international politics.
Whether you’re an aspiring diplomat, a future policymaker, or simply curious about world affairs, ASIA provides the perfect space to debate, learn, and engage with international issues.
From the Founders Desk
The HC Gazette is a brainchild of a simple conversation we both had. The presence of an online, informant magazine is something that Hindu College has lacked.
The need and potential value of an online magazine in today’s time is massive. Making quality content accessible for our readers as well as providing a platform to Hinduites to engage in academic debate and research and the dissemination of knowledge is our mission. We envision HC Gazette to be the go-to for our readers for insights in politics, economy, society, and much else.
The current pandemic has left many of us feeling uncertain, underproductive and anxious. It has taken a toll on the mental health of many people. Many of us have also felt the loss of human social contact. Admittedly, we as a publication would also be constrained and confined during this time.
However, we wish that all our readers, during the time of this pandemic and after it, are able to engage and connect with the issues we publish about. We hope to make this initiative successful with our dedication and your support.
Best,
Akshaya & Amitoj
