Dr. Rajendra Jain looks on during the discussions
Prof.(Dr.) Rajendra Jain delivering his address on ‘European Studies in India’. He explained that Europe, in light of various crises, is re-evaluating the way it looks at itself and the world, thereby also changing the way India looks at Europe. The financial crises, immigration problems and terrorist attacks have left in their wake a more aggressive, nationalist Europe that stands averse to globalization. Dr. Jain subsequently spoke about the effects of such a Europe on the world at large and India in particular.
