Purbasa Conference[Index] 1 Welcome Address Lalit Mansingh, Chairman, Kalinga International Foundation 16 March 2018 The Hon. Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Skill Development, and Entrepreneurship, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan ji; Hon. Minister of Buddha Sasana, Sustainable Development and Wildlife of Sri Lanka, Mr. Gamini Jayawickrama Perera; Hon. Minister for Industry & Tourism of Assam, Shri Chandra Mohan Patowary; Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, As the Chairman of the Kalinga International Foundation and as a proud son of the soil of Odisha, it is my privilege to extend to all of you a welcome to Bhubaneswar. As the ancient capital of Kalinga, Bhubaneswar has seen the rise of many empires. It has also witnessed events that have changed the course of history. A few kilometres away lies a small hill from where Emperor Ashoka, in the 3rd Century BC saw the magnitude of human suffering caused by his invasion of Kalinga, and took a momentous decision to renounce war and embrace Buddhism. This, in turn, has influenced the history and culture of many of the countries whose distinguished representatives are here with us. At 6 o’clock in the morning, when the first rays of the sun fall on the statue of the Sun God in the Konarka temple, it will be 6.30 in Dhaka, 7.00 in Yangon, 7.30 in Bangkok, Jakarta and Hanoi, and 9.30 am in Tokyo. The sixteen countries represented at the PURBASA Conference are, indeed, the sunrise States of the Indo-Pacific which come to life when the rest of the world is still asleep. In terms of geo-politics and geo-economics, the centre of gravity 2 Purbasa: East Meets East of the world is in the process of shifting from the Euro-Atlantic to the Indo- Pacific. This is the new hub of human activity in the 21st Century. Also represented in this Conference are fourteen provinces from the North East and Eastern regions of India. The Kalinga International Foundation believes that the East and the North East should be seen as a homogeneous cultural and economic region of India, which will play a crucial role in the India’s Act East Policy. The region is marked by an abundance of natural resources, a rich cultural heritage, and a talented population which is producing a new generation of well-educated, tech-savvy youth with superior skills. The Kalinga International Foundation is pleased that, for the first time, the North East and Eastern regions of India will be in a dialogue with the friendly neighbours on India’s eastern periphery: Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, with ASEAN partners, and beyond with Japan and Australia. The title of the dialogue is aptly named PURBASA, meaning the rise of the East, the hopes from the East, and the message from East. To Prime Minister Abe of Japan goes the credit of giving the Indo-Pacific a geo-political connotation. In August 2007, while addressing the Indian Parliament, Prime Minister Abe referred to a ‘Confluence of the Indian and Pacific Oceans’. As strategic partners, India and Japan have assumed the role of the sentinels protecting and ensuring the security of the Indo-Pacific region. Our ties with South East Asia go back to the beginnings of history. The Look East Policy may have been announced by Prime Minister Narasimha Rao in 1992, but the merchant sailors of Kalinga (called the Sadhabas) were sailing to Sri Lanka, Thailand, Java, Sumatra, Bali, and other distant destinations as early as the 4th Century BCE. For the people of the Kalinga region, the Look East is not a new policy, but a part of their historical heritage. They were the pioneers who brought India in contact with the people of the Indo-Pacific. Our challenge today is to revive the connectivity we had with the region over the thousand years also. Sri Lanka ranks amongst the closest neighbours and strategic partners of India. Meeting here in Bhubaneswar, once the capital of imperial Kalinga, it is relevant to recall that Kalinga and Sri Lanka have had inseparable histories. Sri Lanka’s history begins with the arrival of Prince Vijaya of Kalinga in the 6th Century BC. It is from Kalinga that the Bodhi tree and sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha were transported to Sri Lanka. Welcome Address by Ambassador Lalit Mansingh 3 We feel specially privileged to receive the Hon. Gamini Jayawickrama Perera, Minister of Buddha Sasana, of Sri Lanka. To the Hon. Minister Sir, may I say ‘Ayubhowan’ and extend to you a warm welcome to the land of your ancestors. We consider your visit an important landmark for the people of this State. I also wish to extend a special welcome to Shri Chandra Mohan Patowary, Minister of Industry and Tourism of Assam. He brings to this forum the elevated presence of the North East, which Prime Minister Modi has described as ‘the heart of the Act East Policy’. Thank you, Minister, for joining us at the inauguration. We look forward to your support for holding our forthcoming conferences in the North East. To their Excellencies, the Ambassadors, High Commissioners, and other high representatives of friendly partner countries, may I also extend a very warm welcome? Most of you had joined us at our earlier conference on 13 December 2017 in New Delhi, when we celebrated twenty five years of India- ASEAN Partnership. I am grateful for the support and commitment to our cause, and seek your continued involvement in our efforts to bring your countries closer to India. In the next two days, the leading experts from India and abroad, along with the high dignitaries and Heads of diplomatic missions, will engage in intense discussions on the entire gamut of India’s relations with its eastern neighbourhood. The agenda for discussions has followed Prime Minister Modi’s mantra of the Three Cs: Commerce, Connectivity, and Culture. Following the historic India-ASEAN Commemorative Summit of 15 January 2018, we are pursuing the theme of ‘Shared Values, Common Destiny’. We look forward to a stimulating dialogue in the coming days, a dialogue that will be carried forward in other centres in the region, like Shillong, Guwahati, Gangtok, Kolkata, Patna, and other places. I am pleased to note that the cream of Odisha’s intelligentsia and thought leaders have assembled at this inaugural event. I invite you to join us at this session of the Conference which, I promise you, will be intellectually rewarding. PURBASA will close in the evening of 18th March, with a valedictory function with the Hon. Governor of Odisha, His Excellency Dr. S.C. Jamir as the Chief Guest. Before I conclude, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the high dignitaries on the stage, especially our distinguished Guests of Honour: His 4 Purbasa: East Meets East Excellency, Mr Gamini Jayawickrama Perara, Minister of Buddha Sasana; and Shri Chandra Mohan Patowary, Hon. Minister of Industry and Tourism of Assam. Above all, we owe an enormous debt of gratitude to our Chief Guest, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Skill Development, and Entrepreneurship. The Kalinga International Foundation has been privileged to receive his support, and we seek your blessings and guidance for our activities in the days to come. To all of you, Excellencies, Ladies, and Gentlemen, a very warm welcome, once again, to the inauguration of PURBASA. 2 Inaugural Programme: Summary Report on the Proceedings Kalinga International Foundation (KIF) organised a three-day conference (16– 18, March 2018).

The conference was inaugurated by the Chief Guest, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Honorable Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, on March 16. In lighting the lamp, the Union Minister was joined by the Guest of Honor, Shri C.M. Patowary, Honorable Minister for Industry, Commerce, Transport, Parliamentary Affairs, and Act East Policy Affairs, Government of Assam; the Guest of Honour, Gamini Jayawickrama Perera, Minister of Buddha Sasana, Sustainable Development and Wildlife, Sri Lanka; H.E.

The above dignitaries were presented Angavastrams and souvenirs by Ambassador Lalit Mansingh, Chairman, Kalinga International Foundation (KIF). In his welcome remarks, Ambassador Lalit Mansingh stated that the sixteen countries as represented in the Purbasa conference are the ‘sunrise states’ of the Indo-Pacific. In terms of geo-politics and geo-economics, the centre of gravity 6 Purbasa: East Meets East is slowly churning away from the Euro-Atlantic towards the Indo-Pacific, therein making it a hub for human activity in the 21st century. He reminded the august audience of the geo-strategic importance attached to the Indo-Pacific as brought out by Japan’s Prime Minister Abe in his address to the Indian parliament in August 2007. He also observed the participation of fourteen provinces from the east and northeast India. The KIF believes that the East and the Northeast should be seen as a homogenous cultural and economic region of India that is playing a crucial role in India’s Act East policy. This region is marked by an abundance of natural resources, a rich cultural heritage, and a young talented tech-savvy population.

It belongs to a series of Quaternary volcanoes, which includes the historically active Sumbing and Sundoro volcanoes. The plateau is a rich agricultural area for potatoes, cabbages, tomatoes and other vegetables. There are numerous surface manifestations of hydrothermal activity, including lakes, fumaroles/solfatara and hotsprings. The area is also known for the development of geothermal resources and lethal outbursts of gas. Scattered temples are the witnesses of the ancient Hindu culture that once reigned. Geological setting The 14 km long and 6 km wide Dieng Plateau has a general E-W trend due to the shift of eruptive centers with the youngest activity being in the east. It is underlain by Tertiary marls, limestones, tuffaceous sandstones and volcanics. The Dieng Complex itself consists of late Quaternary to Recent volcanic cones and explosion craters, formed at the intersection of two major fault zones trending E-W and NW-SE.

  • BOITA BANDANA UTSHAVA and BALI YATRA in ODISHA Colonel JC Mahanti (Retired) 25Thnovember 2015'
    BOITA BANDANA UTSHAVA AND BALI YATRA IN ODISHA Colonel JC Mahanti (Retired) 25thNovember 2015' Boita bandana utshava and Bali yatra are two important annual events held on the Kartika purnima. They mark the conclusion of all religious activities of Kartika month which is considered as the most holy month of the lunar year. Both are the reminiscent of maritime trade that once flourished in the State. Boita bandana utshava is a socio-religious festival whereas, Bali yatra is a large trade fair. Boita bandana utshava: -Boita in local language is an argosy or a large sail boat and bandana is worshipping with lighted lamp (dipa). Thus, Boita bandana utshava symbolises the festival of worship of sail boats with lighted lamps. It is to commemorate the maritime trade of the people of ancient Odisha (Kalinga). Centuries back, the sadabha (maritime traders) of the State used to sail off to distant Indonesian archipelagos (Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Bali) for trade and cultural exchange in boitas. Those days, the marine engineering had not developed as it is now. The boitas used to navigate with the manipulations of ajhala (large fabric sails) fixed on their masts in the direction of the wind. During the lunar months Aswina to Margasira (October to December), the sea was generally tranquil and the wind blew in the north-easterly direction. Again from lunar months Pausa to Baisakha (January to March) the wind blew in the reverse direction and those were the times for their return voyage. Thereafter, the sea became turbulent due to the onset of south eastern monsoon and the voyages were suspended.
