ISIS in Central Asia: Past, Present & Future Paths
A 60-minute session, held on 17 August 2025, on why young people from Central Asia were pulled towards ISIS, how governments there responded, and what it means for the region and for India. Kept firmly on ordinary life: loneliness far from home, families who watch, children who came back, and the freedoms we trade for safety. Twelve independent cards; open three or four.
