For this episode of our podcast, we invited Dr Parama Sinha Palit, Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at the Rajaratnam School of International Studies within Nanyang Technological University Singapore. She is also an affiliate researcher at SASNET. In 2017, her first book "Analysing China’s Soft Power Strategy and Comparative Indian Initiatives" was published at SAGE. Her current research focuses on the use of social media in foreign policy making. Her upcoming book, which will be released next year by Routledge, particularly deals with the use of social media in India's foreign policy.

We spoke about the role of social media and the circulation of fake news and misinformation in India during the Coronavirus pandemic.
