Challenges to the Development of the Northeast through the Act East Policy / Das, Pushpita   Journal Article
Das, Pushpita Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract It is argued that the way to bring about development in the Northeast is by economically integrating the region with the vibrant markets of Southeast Asia and East Asia through the Act East Policy. Accordingly, a number of projects have been initiated to improve connectivity between the Northeast and the neighbouring countries. It is believed that connectivity projects will act as growth corridors resulting in economic development of the region. However, to effectively implement the policy and to reap its benefits, it is imperative to overcome challenges such as adverse security situations, bad governance, lack of entrepreneurial skills, absence of markets, and reluctant neighbours.

Evolution of the road network in Northeast India: drivers and brakes / Das, Pushpita   Journal Article
Das, Pushpita Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract The Northeast, strategically important yet economically underdeveloped, has been witnessing spurts of road building activities since independence. The need to establish connection with the rest of India following partition, the Chinese aggression, economic development, and trans-border connectivity are some of the main drivers which have been impelling the central government to construct roads in the region since independence. However, impediments such as terrain and climatic conditions, insurgency, and mismanagement of resources have also put brakes on the development of the road network in the region. The paper identifies the drivers and brakes, which have fashioned the evolution of the road network in the region and suggests some measures to overcome the hurdles.

India’s internal security challenges / Das, Pushpita   Journal Article
Das, Pushpita Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract India has been facing multiple internal security challenges for more than 60 years. These challenges have assumed five forms: ethnic/ tribal insurgencies in the North-East variously demanding secession or autonomy; left-wing extremism (LWE) seeking to overthrow the democratic political system; militancy arising out of perceived politicoreligious grievances in Punjab; a combination of an insurgency actively fuelled by Pakistan and terrorism perpetrated by Pakistani terrorist groups in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K); and Islamist terrorism in the hinterland. Despite sustained police/military operations as well as social, economic and political measures to address perceived grievances and empower estranged sections of the populations in these areas, many or most of these challenges have continued to persist. These internal security challenges have endured, and sometimes increased, due to a combination of factors unique to each case.

Issues in the management of the India-Pakistan international bo / Das, Pushpita   Journal Article
Das, Pushpita Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract A discordant political relationship, three and a half wars and Pakistan's material support for secessionist militants in the border states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir compelled India to harden its international border with Pakistan. An inward-looking economy and the absence of an imperative for regional economic integration also resulted in restricted movement of people and goods across the border. However, in the past decade or so, an emergent Indian economy coupled with both countries' desire to engage themselves constructively have paved the way for softening the border. As the India-Pakistan border gradually opens up for increased trade and travel, a number of issues such as infiltration by terrorists and militants, cross-border shelling and sniping, trafficking of drugs and arms and so on pose a challenge to the effective management of the border. Moreover, inadequate manpower, lack of resources and inadequate cooperation from Pakistan make management of the border difficult. As a result, India has to continuously balance the imperatives of maintaining the border as a barrier against cross-border terrorism with softening it to enable the regulated flow of trade and travel.

Managing India's land borders: lessons from the US experience / Das, Pushpita   Journal Article
Das, Pushpita Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract India has been grappling with the problem of devising an efficient border management strategy that would prevent the entry of dangerous elements while at the same time allowing the legitimate flow of goods, services and people. Given that it has always been vulnerable to cross-border threats and challenges such as illegal migration, drug and human trafficking, gunrunning, smuggling of commodities and cross-border terrorism, India has taken a largely unilateral approach towards border management whereby security of the borders is accorded primacy over the free movement of people and goods. However, as the Indian economy is growing and fast integrating itself with the economies of the region, there is a consequent increase in trade and cross-border flow of people. It has to jettison its unilateral approach towards border management and adopt a cooperative approach along the lines of the 'smart border' approach of the United States.

Securing the Andaman and Nicobar Islands / Das, Pushpita   Journal Article
Das, Pushpita Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The Andaman and Nicobar islands are of immense strategic significance for India. The geographical configuration and the location of the island chain in the Bay of Bengal safeguards India's eastern seaboard as well the approaches to the Indian Ocean from the east. Its proximity to the Southeast Asian region enables India to forge friendly relations with its Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) neighbours. The physical isolation and remoteness of the archipelago, however, make it vulnerable to conventional and non-conventional threats. At present, any possibility of a conventional threat to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands appears remote given India's friendly ties with its Southeast and East Asian neighbours. Nevertheless, military intervention in the Indian Ocean by extra-regional powers, especially China, remains a potential cause of concern. Meanwhile, non-conventional threats such as poaching of marine and forest resources, illegal migration, arms smuggling and natural disasters have been posing serious challenges to the internal security of the island chain. Steps to address these problems have been undertaken by the government, but the issues of remoteness, inadequate infrastructure, poor coordination among security agencies and pervasive underdevelopment create hurdles. Building critical infrastructure and sustainable economic development is, therefore, imperative for securing the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Security challenges and the management of the India–Myanmar border / Das, Pushpita   Journal Article
Das, Pushpita Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Being highly porous, poorly guarded and located along a remote, underdeveloped, insurgency-prone region and proximate to one of the world’s largest five opium producing areas, the India–Myanmar border is vulnerable to the activities of insurgents and drugs and arms traffickers as well as criminals. Although the Indian government has been alive to the threats that emanate from a poorly guarded India–Myanmar international border, its attention towards the problem has been woefully inadequate. Given that poor security along the India–Myanmar border poses a challenge to India’s security, it is imperative that India strengthens security of the border and redoubles its efforts to meaningfully engage Myanmar to effectively manage this border.

Towards a regulated Indo-Nepal border / Das, Pushpita   Journal Article
Das, Pushpita Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract The Indo-Nepal border is an open border, which has facilitated close social, cultural, and economic exchanges and led to a special relationship between the two countries. However, in recent times, the increasing misuse of the borders by terrorists, political activists, anti-social elements, etc. has led to the demand for the closure of the border from the Indian side. The paper posits that a closed border is not beneficial for both the countries as the social and political costs involved in such a border are immense. Therefore, the paper suggests the 'middle path' of a regulated open border should be adopted as a policy
