Printed in India FOREWORD The bonds of friendship between India and Namibia are, indeed, unique. They were forged at a time when India was not yet fully independent and Namibia, then called the mandated territory of South West Africa, was threatened with extinction as a separate entity. India took the lead in preventing the incorporation of South West Africa by its mandatory power, the Union of South Africa at the very first session of the United Nations General Assembly in 1946. Since then, India never wavered in her determination to secure full independence for the people of Namibia, bending all her efforts and all her resources to this end. While India always considered that her own freedom was incomplete until all colonial peoples and nations had been freed, it has also been her conviction that no country can be really independent unless political freedom is speedily followed by self-reliant development with the mutually beneficial cooperation of friendly countries. That this is no cliche came home to me when I had the privilege to be India's first High Commissioner in independent Namibia. As President Sam Nujoma observed, while opening the first Indian Trade Fair in free Namibia on 14 September 1991, The new chapter, opened with Namibia's independence, has increased the opportunities and strengthened the bonds of friendship that had been created during the struggle.... The solidarity between the people of India and Namibia now gets strength through bilateral agreements and reciprocal visits iv at high levels. The visit of the President of India to Namibia in June 1995 is thus an appropriate occasion to recall the stages through which India had stood firmly behind the people of Namibia for five decades. This documentary survey brings into focus the principled and consistent support extended by India to the people of Namibia through their long and arduous struggle and describes the steps being taken through mutual agreements to further strengthen our brotherly relations. p,. (Shiv Shankar Mukherjee) Director-General Indian Council for Cultural Relations EDITOR'S NOTE The documents presented in this collection do not merely speak of India's contribution to Namibia's independence. They reflect the course of the tortuous yet determined struggle of the people of Namibia for their independence, integrity and progress, under the leadership of the South West Africa Peoples Organisation (SWAPO). Essentially, the progress of Namibia to independence was marked by three stages, the most important of them being the preservation of the territorial integrity and international status of the former mandated territory, followed by the taking over of the administration de jure by the United Nations through its Council for Namibia and the drawing up of an agenda for full freedom under international guarantee and aegis. India is legitimately proud to have a played a useful and effective role in all these stages, especially in the early years of the United Nations, when African-Asian strength in the world body was negligible. The first stage began with the thwarting of attempts to incorporate the territory of South West Africa into the then Union of South Africa in 1946 and ended with the termination of the League of Nations Mandate of the Union of South Africa over the territory of South West Africa in 1966 and the renaming of the territory as Namibia in 1968. India welcomed the assumption of direct responsibility by the United Nations as 'unique, historic and sacred'. The second stage was marked by the emergence of the SWAPO as the 'sole and authentic' representative of the people of Namibia. While favouring peaceful negotiations to hasten the independence of Namibia, India had no hesitation in extending moral and material support to the armed struggle which the SWAPO found ineluctable in the face of fierce and ruthless oppression by the occupying power. The third stage began with the adoption of the U.N. Security Council Resolution 435 of 1978 which laid down an agenda for Namibia's independence. From then on, India directed all her efforts to get that Resolution fully and faithfully implemented. To this end, India gave diplomatic recognition to the SWAPO and provided it with facilities to publicize its cause and mobilize support from important and influential groups of countries, including the Non-aligned Movement and the Commonwealth. The Brazzaville accord of December 1988 ushered in an era of hope and challenge in India-Namibia relations, having established a definite time-frame for the implementation of the Security Council Resolution of 1978. India participated fully and fervently in the Nationhood programme for Namibia launched by the U.N. Council for Namibia through direct programmes of human resources development as well as through multilateral schemes. The documents presented in this collection have been selected with a view to highlight the distinct stages in the evolution of Namibia's nationhood and to recall the solidarity that marked India's relations with the people of Namibia.

Jain, Director (Information & Library) by providing access to the bulk of the documents included in this collection.

Assalamu Alaikum and Good Morning. I am deeply honored on being awarded the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development for 2009. This most prestigious Prize also greatly honors my country and people. I thank the Indira Gandhi Memorial Trust for this memorable gesture. I also thank Her Excellency Pratibha Patil, His Excellency Hamid Ansari, His Excellency Dr.Manmohan Singh, and Her Excellency Mrs. Sonia Gandhi for the gracious words addressed to me and to my country. On this special moment of honor, I recall with profound respect your great leader, Late Indira Gandhi, who regarded the world economic order "based on domination and inequality," as unsustainable. She pursued a life dedicated to peace, justice, and democracy. Her unfaltering stand for the deprived and downtrodden was well known, and was not confined only within the borders of India. When the people of Bangladesh in 1971, were in the throes of pain, subjugation, and bloodshed by the ruling occupation forces, she rallied support for the victims within India, and around the world. The unflinching support of Mrs.

For more info on SFD and the SFD promotion initiative visit https://sfd. susana.org/ During the first two phases of the SFD promotion initiative, CSE was closely working with SFD PI partners (BMGF, EAWAG, GIZ, University of Leeds, WEDC, World Bank) to develop tools and methods for the production of SFDs and refinement based on feedback received from sector practitioners. As part of the SFD Phase 1 & 2 grants, CSE prepared more than 100 SFDs (65 + in Ganga basin states & the rest for other cities in India). CSE has made a considerable contribution to support the production and review of good-quality SFDs as well as help train practitioners. A demonstrated impact is the uptake of the approach by local, regional and national organiza- tions and governmental agencies - in particular in India, South Africa (WRC with CSE technical support launched a national campaign) and in state / cities in Africa and South Asia, where there is widespread use of SFDs for advocacy and as a tool to map progress across the sanitation value chain.

    Research paper IJMSRR E- ISSN - 2349-6746 ISSN -2349-6738 INDIA’S POLICY TOWARDS BANGLADESH DURING UPA GOVERNMENT Zahoor Ahmad Malik Research Scholar, Department of Political Science, Vikram University, Ujjain, MP, India. ABSTRACT India and Bangladesh share proximity of culture, history, language and geography. India’s relations with Bangladesh are multi-dimensional- ideological, political and also economic. An extreme sense of distrust, insecurity and perceived domination by India has shaped Bangladesh’s foreign policy in recent years. In spite of this intimate relationship, ties between the two countries have remained problematic. Among the many challenges facing the relationship are river water sharing, trade and transit, illegal migration and border management. One recent source of tension has been violence on the border. Even though there have been attempts on both sides to bring peace and tranquility to the border, success has been elusive. In the social, cultural and economic fields the two countries tried to strengthen their bonds and concluded a number of agreements. Similarly in the field of science and technology the two countries agreed to cooperate. The two countries also amicably settled certain border issues. The last decade has seen a new development in India’s foreign policy, The UPA government has sought to improve political relations and deepen economic partnership with Bangladesh. This paper examines the India’s ties with Bangladesh, areas of cooperation and challenges during UPA government. This paper seeks to establish the challenged and opportunities for furtherance of India-Bangladesh ties, in light of recent development. Keywords: Brief History, India’s Foreign Policy, Area of Cooperation and Challenges, Future Prospects.
