In Pursuit of Conflict About the Author Avalok Langer is an army kid who grew up playing hide-and-seek in tank garages. He was exposed to war and conflict at a young age and after a BA in political science from Delhi University, he began his career as a conflict journalist (or so he thought) with a prominent English TV news channel. He later joined a news magazine in Delhi and reported extensively on the Northeast. He is currently busy filming documentaries on various subjects, a good reason for him to escape Delhi, particularly during summers.
