TODAY -
Northeast – On the Map, off the Mind? - Orgnised by Tehelka at Jamia Millia Ground- - 21st Nov, 2006 - |
Venue: Jamia Millia Ground, MA Ansari Auditorium * Introductory statement by Dr. Walter Fernandes, Coordinator is attached NOTE ON SESSION Northeast – On the Map, off the Mind? 21 November, 4pm - 6.30pm 'The Northeast' is a convenient way of clubbing the disparate political, social, cultural, and territorial histories and aspirations of eight different states and hundreds of distinctive ethnic groups. Further, the entire region is treated as a high security zone where guns are ever present: historically with state security agencies and increasingly with armed resistance groups. Are these two key realities of the Northeast the root cause of the larger problems of identity, recognition, self-determination and ensuing unrest that almost every state in the region is struggling with? Given the concept of the Summit , to discuss key issues and collectively search for equitable solutions, we need to lay out some of the chief concerns and situations that the region and its people are dealing with today: SECURITIZATION
ASPIRATIONS OF PEACE
DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY - what kind?
The idea is to keep the session agenda informal and flexible, wherein we structure some of these key issues that panelists will take up. Largely the discussion will be spontaneous and organic. To keep the session focused however, we would need to roughly follow the framework of issues raised by Dr.Fernandes in his note and those listed in this mail.
