आपके विचार सराहनीय हैं. आदित्य सर ने दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय में अध्यापन किया है, जवाहरलाल नेहरू यूनिवर्सिटी में सेंटर फॉर पोलिटिकल स्टडीज में टीचिंग असिसेंट रहे हैं. UGC नेट JRF और DAAD फेलो भी रहे हैं. सर ने अपने जीवन का एक दशक से ज्यादा केवल राजनीति विज्ञान और अंतर्राष्ट्रीय सम्बन्ध के अध्ययन में लगाया है. वह निरंतर अध्ययन करते रहते हैं और उनके पढ़ाए सभी विद्यार्थी आज भी उनके टीचिंग की तारीफ़ करते हैं. आप सभी कक्षाओं को देखिये और शेयर भी कीजिये की बाकी विद्यार्थियों का भी भला हो सके.
