Research themes

I am interested in peace and security issues in the Indian Ocean region (especially South Asia). In recent years, I have been working on elucidating the security challenges that China, India, and the United States have over the "strategic bases" in the Indian Ocean region, such as Sri Lanka.

Research Topics
1.The Power Rivalry and Competition in the Indian Ocean
2.The causes of Violence with Special Reference to Sri Lanka
3.Postwar Peacebuilding in Sri Lanaka
