by These days, one news is being talked about a lot, which is that S. Paul Kapur has been appointed by the American government to the position of Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs, and this news is being widely discussed internationally. This decision might bring forward some positive ideas regarding terrorism, and it will be interesting to see how India and the US work on this issue after this change.
And if we talk about his career he is currently a professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the US Naval Postgraduate School and he was also a visiting professor at Stanford University.
He is indeed very ahead when it comes to security and safety. Mr.Kapur has written several important books and research papers on South Asian security, including “Dangerous Deterrent: Nuclear Weapons Proliferation and Conflict in South Asia” and “Jihad as Grand Strategy: Islamist Militancy, National Security, and the Pakistani State.”
In February 2025, President Donald Trump nominated S. Paul Kapur to be the Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs, a position he is anticipated to take once confirmed by the Senate.
While Kapur’s initial plans in this new role are not public, his extensive background in South Asian security and previous work with the State Department indicate a strategic focus on strengthening US-India relations and addressing Indo-Pacific security challenges.
Kapur’s nomination demonstrates a commitment to utilise his experience to strengthen US involvement in South Asia, with the goal of fostering regional stability and collaboration.
