This is further a conscious attempt from Indian perspective, to debunk the common prejudice and misconception about Central Asia, as a difficult neighbour.Nandini Bhattacharya teaches History in Calcutta Girls' College, Kolkata. She received her PhD from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, and her dissertation was published as a book titled, Dueling Isms: Soviet and Regional Identity in Central Asia, in 2007. Ever since then she remained fascinated towards her research interest in the history, culture and identity politics of Central Asia in general and Tajikistan in particular. Some of her recent research articles on various aspects of Tajik culture, including painting, musicology, films, religion and gender issues, have been published in well acclaimed volumes, journals and encyclopaedias.
