With a view to exploring the developments in this area in India’s neighbourhood, the Asian Institute of Transport Development held a one-day seminar on May 24, 2008 at India International Centre, New Delhi. The seminar was inaugurated by Hon'ble Mr. Mani Shankar Aiyar, Union Minister for the Development of North-Eastern Region (DONER) & Panchayati Raj and chaired by Mr. B. G. Verghese, a noted guide and commentator of our times. Mr. TCA Rangachari, former Indian Ambassador to France, eminently coordinated this colloquium. The speakers at the seminar included distinguished academicians, thinkers and policymakers: Gen. V.P. Malik, Mr. Rajiv Sikri, Mr. Vijay Sakhuja, Prof. Manoj Pant, Mr. TCA Srinivasa-Raghavan, Prof. Mahendra P. Lama, Mr. Falguni Rajkumar, and Mr. R. Dayal. The background papers and presentations addressed the main theme from different perspectives. The discussions were stimulating, informative and well- focussed. A snapshot of the key issues and guideposts for action is presented in the ‘Overview’ included in this publication. The rich material provides a fertile ground for further research. Asia is now building transport networks to rival any in the world. This is happening not only at the national level but also at the regional level. As a result, the old divisions are giving way to much-needed integration in the region and we are witnessing the emergence of regional transport networks that are bringing countries and peoples closer together through greater promotion of trade and tourism. It gives me great pleasure in bringing to the readers this highly useful volume. It brings home the central role of connectivity as a network of goodwill and influence rather than merely as something along which people travel. I hope our policies will be adjusted accordingly to meet the challenges of our times. K. L. Thapar Chairman Connectivity: An Overview The last quarter of the 20th century saw the re-emergence, after a gap of about 50 years, of an old phenomenon – greater global integration, first through trade and then through finance. It was the former that led to the latter. There were many reasons why global trade increased but at the root of it lay an age-old reason: better connectivity between regions and countries. The obverse of this, of course, was that countries and regions that did not improve their connectivity were left out of the global trading boom. There are many reasons why countries trade with each other. Unilateral trade liberalisation, participation in the multilateral trading system, decline in transport and communication costs, all have a role to play. Satellite delivery of services has completely neutralised the distance factor. The decline in transport costs in the 20th century has resulted in monumental changes in the patterns of trade and investment. The most striking example of this is Europe. East Asia is the latest case in point. Some researchers have found that, over time, the proportion of trade over shorter distances increases in relation to trade over longer distances. One of the most important consequences of this boom in trade has been gradual (but by now very perceptible) shift in economic power from the West to the East. Two centuries ago, before the industrial revolution, India and China accounted for more than half of the world’s output of goods and services. By 1950, this share came down to less than 10 per cent. But in the last two decades, it has begun to climb back and Asia can be expected to produce 50 per cent of the world's GDP by 2030. The key factor in this regard has been better connectivity of different sorts – physical, financial, electronic and intellectual. To deliberate on the various facets of this issue, the Asian Institute of Transport Development organized in New Delhi a seminar on Connectivity Issues in India’s Neighbourhood: Economic and Strategic Implications on 24th May 2008. Inaugurating the seminar, Shri Mani Shankar Aiyar, Minister for the Development of Northeastern Region and Panchayati Raj observed that connectivity between the rest of India and the North East was disrupted by the Connectivity: An Overview iv Partition of India and the creation of East Pakistan and the 1965 war and subsequently, the emergence of Bangladesh really wrecked that. What had been, throughout history, internal trade was transformed into international trade subject to all its vagaries. The Chhatak Cement Factory in Northern Bangladesh, set up in 1937 by a British-Indian firm which had tapped the limestone available in Cherrapunjee (Sohra) and brought it by an aerial ropeway to Chhatak, is a good example. It is staggering that our diplomacy with respect to a country in whose liberation we were deeply involved has been of such a high order that we have not succeeded in reestablishing that connectivity which was taken as normal and natural through the worst period of the India-Pakistan relationship! As a result, the Northeast continues to be on an economic trajectory well below that of the rest of India; also the 'Look East Policy' cannot be operationalized without the participation of the Northeast, for Northeast India is where South-East Asia begins. If there is a Look East Policy, then, it cannot be looking East only from Chennai and Bangalore, who have been the biggest beneficiaries of this policy thus far, but will have to include the Northeast. Connectivity to, and through, the Northeast is the most important element of connectivity between India and its neighbourhood in regard to the economic and strategic implications. The pipeline from Akyab (Sittwe) in Myanmar through Bangladesh into India might have helped Bangladesh in improving their balance of payments and perhaps even bring it to equilibrium by squeezing us for transit fees on gas that will go through the pipeline. We might even have put in a little clause that either party, Bangladesh or India, could feed their respective gas into the same pipeline that would take gas from Myanmar into India. At Brahmanbari, which is the place where they have most of their gas, there is no petrochemical or chemical industry and the bulk of these industries are located around Jessore, a place which is at diagonally opposite end of Bangladesh, much closer to Kolkata than it is even to Dhaka. This could have been a way of effectively using available gas from Tripura which is also capped for lack of, what the oil sector technically calls, evacuation. The evacuation of gas is a big problem from Tripura. So, it is all capped there. Here was the opportunity to bring it to the rest of India using exactly the same pipeline that would come in from Myanmar (where we are part owners of the gas fields A1 and A3). But that draft agreement was not allowed to v Connectivity: An Overview move forward. And Myanmar, in total despair, committed the entire gas to China. In thirty-seven years after helping this country to liberate, we have not been able to restore that level of connectivity between the rest of India and the Northeast. There is a railway line connecting all of the Northeast and Kolkata that went through East Pakistan at the worst time in relations between India and Pakistan, but there is, today, no direct service. And the same applies to road traffic though a bus service between Kolkata and Dhaka, and, subsequently, between Agartala and Dhaka is operating. As for waterways – cheapest form of transport we can still go from Haldia all the way up to Dhubri – except that the Bangladeshis don't really need that waterway, and, therefore, they are neglecting its upkeep, and, in a delta area like Bangladesh, if you do not resort to frequent upkeep, you cannot really use it. If the Brits could go up and down by waterway, it is extraordinary that two centuries later, we cannot go upstream and downstream by waterway! We have had a difficult relationship with Bangladesh but Thailand has an excellent relationship with them. There is a Thai company specialized in the upkeep of waterways. If we were to tie up with them, and if the Thai company were to offer to look after the upkeep of the Padma in Bangladesh, that would solve the problem and we would have plenty of connectivity to the Northeast region through the Brahmaputra. We need to get on with the job of this connectivity.

  • Border Trade: Reopening the Tibet Border Claude Arpi the First Part of This Paper Concluded with This Question: Can the Borders
    Border Trade: Reopening the Tibet Border Claude Arpi The first part of this paper concluded with this question: can the borders be softened again? Can the age-old relation between the Tibetans and the Himalayans be revived? The process has started, though it is slow. This paper will look at the gains acquired from the reopening of the three land ports, but also at the difficulties to return to the booming trade which existed between Tibet and India before the invasion of Tibet in 1950 and to a certain extent till the Indo-China war of 1962. It will also examine the possibility to reopen more land ports in the future, mainly in Ladakh (Demchok) and Arunachal Pradesh. Tibet’s Economic Figures for 2012 According to a Chinese official website, the Tibetan Autonomous Region is economically doing extremely well. Here are some ‘official’ figures: • Tibet's GDP reached 11.3 billion US $ in 2012, an increase of 12 % compared to the previous year (Tibet's GDP was 9.75 billion US $ in 2011 and 8.75 billion US $ in 2010). • Tibet's economy has maintained double-digit growth for 20 consecutive years. • Fixed asset investment have increased by 20.1 % • The tax revenues reached 2.26 billion US $ (fiscal revenue grew by 46%) • And Tibet received over 11 million domestic and foreign tourists earning 2.13 billion US $ Tibet’s Foreign Trade Figures for 2012 The foreign trade is doing particularly well. On January 23, 2013, Xinhua announced that Tibet has registered new records in foreign trade. A Chinese government agency reported that the foreign trade of the Tibetan Autonomous Region reached more than 3 billion U.S.

  • Sikkim Earthquake of 14 February 2006
    RECONNAISSANCE REPORT SIKKIM EARTHQUAKE OF 14 FEBRUARY 2006 By Sponsored by Hemant B Kaushik Kaustubh Dasgupta TATA STEEL LIMITED Dipti R Sahoo Gayatri Kharel INDIA NATIONAL INFORMATION CENTER OF EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KANPUR KANPUR 208016 (INDIA) nn ii cc ee ee April 2006 Authors of this report – Hemant B Kaushik, Kaustubh Dasgupta, and Dipti R Sahoo are PhD Scholars in the Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Kanpur, and Gayatri Kharel is a Consulting Structural Engineer based in Kalimpong, West Bengal. Photographs on the cover and back pages show different construction practices and performance of different types of structures in Sikkim during the earthquake shaking of 14 February 2006. PREFACE This report is the result of a Reconnaissance Study in Sikkim (India), immediately after the earthquake of 14 February 2006. The study was undertaken by the National Information Center of Earthquake Engineering (NICEE) at IIT Kanpur with support from TATA STEEL LIMITED, India. The objective of the study was to document perishable information and collect on-site data on the behaviour of buildings and structures in Sikkim under the impact of the 14 February earthquake. The earthquake caused damage to heritage structures as well as modern buildings. Both masonry and reinforced concrete buildings showed poor performance. The damage seen in and around Gangtok was clearly disproportionate to the size of the earthquake, which was a moderate 5.7 on the Richter scale. This very clearly establishes the high level of seismic vulnerability of the region. Such disproportionate damage is a direct consequence of poor design and construction practices in an inadequate professional environment that is challenged by the lack of trained human resources in the state.
