  • India's Relations with Russia : 1992-2002 Political
    INDIA'S RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA : 1992-2002 ABSTRACT THESIS . SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD GREE OF irfar of 3fflliliJ!50pl{g O POLITICAL SCIENCE I u Mi^ BY BDUL AZEEM Under the Supervision of Prof. Ms. Iqbal Khanam DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ^^^ ^ ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2006 ABSTRACT India's friendly stance towards the USSR has greatly been exaggerated, misunderstood and misinterpreted in India and abroad. An examination of the subject appeared necessary in order to explain the nature, extent, direction and implications of India's relations with the USSR. An attempt has been made here to analyze India's policy towards the USSR and place it in proper perspective. The ever growing friendly relations between the two neighbours are the result of many factors such as the complementarily of their national interests and the constantly changing national and international situations. The Soviet Union's huge size, its vast potentialities and the geo-political situation compelled Indian leaders, Jawaharlal Nehru in particular, to realize, even before India attained independence, the need to develop close and friendly relations with the Soviet Union. India's attitude towards the USSR has been derived from its overall foreign policy objectives. In understanding and evaluating this attitude, it is therefore, indispensable to keep in view two important considerations: first, the assumptions, motivations, style, basic goals and the principles of India's foreign policy which governed her relations with other States in general; second, the specific goals which India sought to achieve in her relations with the USSR. It is the inter-relationship between the general and the particular objectives and the degree of their combination as well as contradiction that give us an idea of the various phases of India's relations with the USSR.

  • The EU-India Partnership: Time to Go Strategic? Institute for Security Studies Security for Institute European Union
    The EU-India partnership: time to go strategic? go to time The partnership: EU-India European Union Institute for Security Studies How can India and the EU expand their relationship from its current economic dimension Indian Council of to a broader, security-based dimension? Why is this not happening in spite of expressed World Affairs willingness and the clear reciprocal benefits that would ensue? Is there a lack of frank dialogue on sensitive areas, or is there a more general lack of mutual understanding? The various Indian and European contributors to this volume – the result of long-standing collaboration between the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) and the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) – assess incipient progress and explore ways to advance India-EU relations in the bilateral and multilateral dimensions of the Strategic Partnership. Although it was launched in 2004, a consensus emerges that such a partnership cannot be called strategic as yet. Continuing discussion and analysis of pressing issues is thus necessary in order to facilitate a breakthrough. This book contains detailed proposals for widening the scope of cooperation to both traditional and non-traditional security issues, such as counter-terrorism, security sector reform in third countries and energy. It also explores the potential for India and the EU to reach consensus in international governance forums, with particular emphasis on economic governance, as well as prospects for effective inter- regional cooperation on the main global security

Landes Ferree Professor of Early Modern History & Women’s Studies Nancy S. Love Director, Interdisciplinary Studies Program & Professor, Government and Justice Studies Appalachian State University Carol Reardon Director of Graduate Studies in History & Professor of Military History * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract In “Culture of Food in Colonial Bengal ” I seek to relate the rise of a new middle- class in colonial Bengal to the development of a new gastronomic culture. I argue that the colonial transformation of the relations of production contextualized the cultural articulation of a new set of values, prejudices, and tastes for the Bengali Hindu middle- class. These cultural values, together with the political and economic conditions of colonialism, formed the habitus of this class. I investigate the historical specificities of this instance of class-formation through an exploration of the discursive and non- discursive social practices that went into the production of a new “Bengali” cuisine. Drawing on government proceedings, periodical literature, recipe books, and visual materials, I demonstrate that the Bengali Hindu middle-class created a new cuisine, one that reflects both an enthusiasm to partake of the pleasures of capitalist modernity and an anxiety about colonial rule.

  • 'Look Far East': the Vladivostok Moment in Indo-Russian Relations
    MAY 2020 India’s ‘Look Far East’: The Vladivostok Moment in Indo-Russian Relations HARI VASUDEVAN India’s ‘Look Far East’: The Vladivostok Moment in Indo-Russian Relations HARI VASUDEVAN ABOUT THE AUTHOR Prof. Hari Vasudevan (15 February 1952 – 10 May 2020) was a renowned historian who studied Russian and European history and Indo-Russian relations.

No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without permission in writing from ORF. India’s ‘Look Far East’: The Vladivostok Moment in Indo-Russian Relations ABSTRACT This paper explains Russian co-option of India into the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) at a high level of participation in September 2019 and the range of agreements involved. It argues that the co-option was the result of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s dissatisfaction with the economic outcomes so far for the Russian Far East of “northeast Asian regional cooperation.” Moscow related this behaviour to skewed priorities of East Asia’s “big three”—i.e., China, South Korea and Japan. India’s positive response to Moscow’s overtures is linked to the economic policy of the Modi government to acquire assets abroad and support private ventures by Indian businesses. A cautious approach has been followed to EEF involvement, as indicated in the Joint Statement at Vladivostok.

  • Idea of India’
    This conference is dedicated to the memory of PeaceWorks friend and patron Kozo Yamamura (1934 - 2017). In 2015, at the annual conference that launched the History for Peace project, Dr Barbara Christophe delivered a powerful keynote address that has since served as a prism, refracting ideas that strengthen our objectives. Speaking about memory, history and history textbooks and the ambivalence inherent in these, she elaborated on the advantages and disad - vantages of different approaches to the use of his - tory teaching as a resource for reconciliation and thus for ‘teaching history for peace’. Traditionally, history has been defined as the study of the past as it is recorded in documents. However, in recent years, Memory Studies has become an in - tegral part of the historiographical landscape. Urvashi Butalia, also speaking at the same confer - ence, discussed how marginalised histories emerge when we record oral narratives. Thus, textual, visual and oral representations of the past have gradually gained equal importance among historians as source and evidence. This year, as we complete 70 years of Independ - ence, the History for Peace annual conference looks at India’s engagement or its lack thereof with institu - tionalised, collective and individual histories that make up the ‘Idea of India’. The Idea of India Monday, 14 August 2017 In Conversation: Romila Thapar and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak [6.30 p.m. – 8.30 p.m.] Satyajit Ray Auditorium, ICCR, 9A, Ho Chi Minh Sarani, Calcutta 700 071 Romila Thapar is an Indian historian whose principal area of study is ancient India.

    History remains a continuous narrative of preselected events, where neither the basis for the selection of those particular events is examined, nor their relevance. Students of history therefore are trained to receive a certain body of information which they generally commit to memory and which they then go on repeating ad infini- tum when they in turn become teachers of history or when they attempt writing history. Another reason for this highly unsatisfactory research in a particular field of history is rarely incorporated into stan- dard works and textbooks. Thus in most schools and colleges the student of history is still learning the subject, both in content and in technique, as it was taught one generation (if not two) ago. Romila Thapar PeaceWorks—an initiative of The Seagull Founda- tion for the Arts addresses this and many other issues through its History for Peace project by showcasing and engaging with alternative work— in the arts—in education and in civil society—at an annual conference, with the aim of exploring pos- sibilities of bringing these into classrooms. This volume is a compilation of presentations at the 2017 History for Peace conference in Bangalore. The International conference The Idea of India was held in Calcutta from 14 to 17 August 2017.

    Report FOURTH EAST ASIA CONFERENCE ON SLAVIC AND EURASIAN STUDIES (REGIONAL CONFERENCE OF ICCEES) Image of the region in Eurasian Studies 4-5 September 2012 Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Institute of Asian Studies, Kolkata In collaboration with ICCEES, JCREES, CAEERCA, KASS, and Ministry of External Affairs, GOI [Compiled by Suchandana Chatterjee] Inaugural session On behalf of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Institute of Asian Studies, Dr. Anita Sengupta welcomed all participants of the Fourth East Asian Conference on SlaVic and Eurasian Studies. Professor Om Prakash Mishra, Senior member of the ExecutiVe Council of MAKAIAS deliVered the formal greetings on behalf of the Director of MAKAIAS, Dr. Sreeradha Datta. He especially thanked the Ministry of External Affairs, GoVernment of India for supporting this initiatiVe. 1 Remarking on the theme of the conference Image of the region in Eurasian Studies, he stated the releVance of the theme in an age of global interdependence. He explained how the nation states have been impacted by the deVelopments in the international arena and tried to identify an interesting trend in this deVelopment. Secondly, he also pointed at the issues as borders, passport and Visa, which in a way are creating barriers between nations. Despite the reality of the aboVe fact, today each country is increasingly getting strengthened by sharing and with the exchange of ideas, which he feels is a strong sign of global Interdependence. He pointed at studies conducted by certain International institutions and agencies whereby the attempt has been to highlight attitudes that haVe been shaped by issues related to boundaries and borders. HoweVer in the realm of ideas, Professor Mishra pointed out, ‘globalization’ in the true sense has set in and this conference is a perfect example of that.
