Act east to connect people: India’s ‘Look East’ and the Northeast / Das, Samir Kumar   Article
Das, Samir Kumar Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract As India marched into the new millennium with her renewed emphasis on what had come to be known as her 'Look East policy' being followed since the early 1990s, the Northeast appears to have been poised for a great leap forward. The region - being the key strategic node through which India can Look East farther towards the countries of Southeast Asia and eventually of East Asia - is no longer considered as 'a cul-de-sac leading nowhere', but as Verghese puts it, “a gateway to lands and opportunities beyond”.

Border economy and the production of collective subjects in India’s East and the North East / Das, Samir Kumar   Article
Das, Samir Kumar Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract While globalisation unleashes forces that the Indian State1 finds increasingly difficult to stop and contain, a variety of intermediate institutions has emerged in recent years ranging between a fully securitised State and a State integrated fully into the world economy. These obviously call new configurations of border and border economy into existence as much as contribute to the production of new and hitherto unknown political subjects. Border economy produces the community and not the other way round. Border trade is one of the many instrumentalities through which the flow of persons, goods and services is sought to be contained in order to help making the nation in the border. Ethnicity and ethnic identification serve as a technology for governing the unofficial trade and contributes to the production of ethnic subject. Besides, it is important to understand how a number of people eke out a living by taking advantage of differential pricing across the border. Thus, the labouring life of the subaltern has become an agent, and a moral community thus gets produced, bringing about, in the process, mutation in the dominant discourses of national security and functional integration.

Border economy of India's Northeast / Das, Samir Kumar   Journal Article
Das, Samir Kumar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Border trade perhaps is the answer - only if we realize that there is a larger moral economy of border trade the gains of which far outweigh its meagre economic returns. Doesn't the moral economy of border trade force us to revisit both the dominant discourses of national security and functional integration and see how they mutate and transform under present conditions?

Democracy's three ripples: reflections on the state of democracy in India's neighbourhood / Das, Samir Kumar   Journal Article
Das, Samir Kumar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract South Asia, it is argued, has also been touched by democracy's fourth wave. The pro-democracy movements in Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh are a case in point. One may add the recent experiment with democratization in Bhutan to this list; but the experiment is not known to have been catalyzed by any popular movement for democracy in the Himalayan Kingdom. By contrast, the liquidation of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the military solution to the insurgency problem in Sri Lanka seem to have reinforced the stronghold of family and ethnic Sinhala rule in the tiny island nation. While these experiences have been part of the present history of South Asia, it is difficult to say whether these have really been the demonstration effect of the Arab Spring sweeping across countries of West Asia and parts of Africa.

Immigrants, Foreigners and the Security Paradox in Assam / Das, Samir Kumar   Journal Article
Das, Samir Kumar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract While India’s Northeast in general and Assam in particular have been a standing witness to the rather sustained history of what Amalendu Guha calls ‘anti-foreigner’s upsurge’ since the beginning of the twentieth century, there is reason to think that the ‘foreigners’ are perceived as a threat to the country’s security only recently with the turn of the new millennium.

India and the threshold ethics of R2P / Das, Samir Kumar   Journal Article
Das, Samir Kumar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract India’s foreign policy in the post-Cold War period has become a subject of one of the most acrimonious debates in her recent past history. While it is often denigrated as ‘firefighting’, ‘ad hocism’ and ‘drift’, many other commentators propose to interpret it as one driven by realpolitik interests paying scant regard to her ideological and ethical commitments. Never before in her history has Indian foreign policy faced such an ethical crisis as it is facing now.

India in Asia: perspectives from India’s Northeast / Das, Samir Kumar   Article
Das, Samir Kumar Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract With the emergence of India as an ‘Asian leader’, India’s Northeast has acquired both strategic and cultural importance particularly in recent years. While much has been written on the strategic part of India’s Asia policy with the obvious focus on the need for containing China, correspondingly very little – if anything - is written on either the cultural importance of Asia to India or similar importance of India to other Asian countries. For one thing, cultural dimensions are viewed in foreign policy circles as ‘soft power’ assets that can be deployed and mobilized at one’s will in order to accomplish strategic objectives. For another, culture is viewed in these circles not only in instrumentalist terms but also as an undifferentiated whole that pertains to the nation as an equally seamless entity.

India’s Northeast and its neighbourhood / Das, Samir Kumar   Journal Article
Das, Samir Kumar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract How does one make sense of, understand and interpret India’s foreign policy in general and her neighbourhood policy in particular? While acknowledging that there are indeed many approaches in this regard ranging from the realist and the currently fashionable neo-liberal approach at one extreme to the Marxist one at another (a brand of which even maintains that India’s policy towards the developing world of Asia and Africa is one of domination), in this essay I propose to follow an altogether different route.

Summary/Abstract Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Bangladesh in June 2015 is believed to have inaugurated a new era of India-Bangladesh relations. For one thing, it almost decisively establishes that Centre-state relations within India will continue to play a very critical role in shaping India's foreign policy.

Summary/Abstract While the revocation of Articles 370 and 35A that made special provisions for the state of Jammu and Kashmir is unlikely to be reversed, Kashmir, by all accounts, is slowly limping back into its normal after the lockdown on 5 August 2019. But the normal it limps back into is not the status quo ante bellum.
