A new report by the Melbourne-based think tank, Australia India Institute, recommends that Australia offer a three-month basic Hindi language training program for defence personnel posted to India. It also suggests creating a national register of linguists and India specialists to boost long-term investment in language and regional expertise. The report, titled 'Building a Resilient Australia-India Defence Relationship: Options for the Next Decade', was launched at Parliament House by Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles. In this podcast, we speak with co-author Dr Gaurav Saini.
