UNITED STATES – INDIA MONITOR was founded in May 2012 by Mahanth, a journalist, editor, and government official born in Malaysia and based in Wisconsin. Mahanth runs an agency at City of Madison and worked for NYC Fleet, NYC Parks, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Embassy of India to the United States, and the Indian-American Center for Political Awareness. He served as South Asia Editor for Foreign Policy Digest and as a founding editor at Georgetown Journal of International Affairs. His work has been published in the Capital Times, Atlantic Online, India Currents, Foreign Policy Digest, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Fashion Fights Poverty Lookbook, Pakistan Defense Forum, the Georgetown Voice, the Georgetown Hoya, and other publications. Most importantly (to some), he voiced a character for the video game Grand Theft Auto IV: Liberty City. Mahanth is a graduate of Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, where he served as President of the South Asian Society, and a graduate of the Queens College Joseph A. Murphy Institute Urban Studies Master’s program.
