Between 2005 and 2009, Chaitanya created and maintained several useful web-based research resources. These research resource sites, news round-ups and briefs were designed to highlight events and trends with long-term significance and to be of use to others working on specific issues. These will shortly be archived on this site although many of the links may now be broken.

Chaitanya Guides: As part of its policy intervention mission, Chaitanya Guides provided a point of departure for researchers, policy-makers, mediapersons, activists and interested citizens seeking to learn quickly on topics of contemporary interest. They are also useful as pedagogical tools for social science and history teachers.

Chaitanya Briefing Papers: Chaitanya created and disseminated briefing papers on current topics, providing background, analysis and interpretive prognoses.

Central Asia Chronicle: Curated by Dr. Sudha Rajagopalan, this was a resource guide that collated news stories and background articles on issues that concern and connect Central and South Asia. The Central Asian Republics (CARs) covered were Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

Peripheral Vision: This series of ready reckoners was devoted to those regions and units within South Asian states that geography, politics and even history conspire to keep out of the news and out of common consciousness.

Subcontinent South: Attention to South Asia remains largely attention to its large states; India and Pakistan’s troubled relationship garners the maximum attention. Subcontinent South was a Chaitanya initiative intended to draw attention to news, developments and trends in the southern part of the South Asian subcontinent, which we define as including Sri Lanka, Maldives and India’s southern states and island territories. It provided a weekly update/digest on security-related news from the southern part of the Southasian subcontinent. Subcontinent South was the most popular of Chaitanya’s resources. It has recently been revived as a curated feed on X, @southxsouthasia.
