Guest Speaker, Prof. Sreemati Chakravarty by Neha Agarwal, Gr 12 B


Being an IB history student, one realizes that multiple sources of information help in a better understanding of a topic. In line with that idea, we had a guest speaker visiting us to add another dimension to the content that we were covering in our History lessons.
We were lucky to have Prof. Sreemati Chakravarty, the Chinese affairs expert from the University of Delhi, give us more information on the unit on ‘China during the Cold War period’.
The discussion focused on hostilities between the PRC and the USSR in particular. There were aspects of this relationship that Prof. Chakravarty analyzed for us. There were a lot of other facets that we could have uncovered, but for the paucity of time.
We look forward to more such lectures in more subjects as this was truly an enlightening experience.
