However, peace and security are no longer measured only in terms of conventional wars. Under-development in many parts of the globe manifests itself in crime, terrorism, and civil wars which, invariably, have a transnational character, and affect regional stability. In 2016, the United Nations Security Council and the General Assembly adopted concurrent resolutions on Sustainable Peace, recognising that development, peace, and security are firmly interlinked.

  • Gandhi Centre for North - Eastern Languages
    GANDHI CENTRE FOR NORTH - EASTERN LANGUAGES GANDHI CENTRE FOR NORTH-EASTERN LANGUAGES is set up by Dr. Tanuja Majumdar, Head of the Hindi Department, Presidency College on 7th February 2008. It is a joint collaboration of Presidency College and Gandhi Smriti Evam Darshan Samiti, New Delhi. The centre is now a part of Presidency University. The objective of the centre is to enhance, promote and encourage the development of North-Eastern Languages and literature along with Bengali, Santhali and Hindi. The North-Eastern languages include Assamese, Kokborak, Manipuri, Mizo, Garo, Bodo, Khasi, Nagamese, Karbi, Nepali, Haflong Hindi and all other oral languages of North–East. Bengali and Santhali are included in this panorama because Bengali is also one of the prominent languages in Tripura, Assam and Manipur. Along with North-Eastern languages Santhali had a nourished age-old oral and folk literature. A comparative and inter-linguistic, inter-literary and inter-cultural study can be accomplished between different regional folk languages with Hindi as the centralized ‘lingua franca’ being the medium of expression in all these studies. Apart from Hindi and Bengali, the Centre is also working in Urdu and English because Urdu is a sister language of Hindi and English is the state language of many north- eastern states like Nagaland & Manipur. Most of the north-eastern states prefer English as the language ‘en masse’. Centre also aims to promote comparative study of Gandhian thoughts with Rabindranath Tagore and other great social thinkers of India. Completed Projects : 1. Mahatma Gandhi and Indian Literature. ( Published) 2. Mahatma Gandhi and Bangla Literature.

  • ARTICLE 2.Pmd
    Indian Foreign Affairs Journal Vol. 14, No. 2, April–June 2019, 103-115 India and the United Nations Dilip Sinha* The United Nations will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2020. This is a good time to look back at its performance, and examine how far it has met the aspirations of its founders and how relevant it is in today’s world. India is a founder member of the organisation. What has been India’s approach to the UN? How does India view the organisation, and what expectations does it have of it? The United Nations has grown in the last seven decades from a general security organisation to an omnibus international entity that brings numerous international organisations dealing with every conceivable aspect of human life under one umbrella. But maintaining international peace and security remains its primary goal, and it is on this that its reputation has rested even though its main achievements have been, and continue to be, in other fields. The United Nations started as a wartime alliance. It was formed at the peak of the Second World War, on 1 January 1942, against the Axis Powers - Germany, Japan, and Italy. After the war, only the allies were invited to the San Francisco Conference to adopt the Charter. Argentina, which had remained neutral during the war, was a late invitee. The conference converted the military alliance into an international organisation. The primacy of security is established in the Preamble to the UN Charter: “We the peoples of the United Nations determined: to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and *The Author, Ambassador Dilip Sinha, is a former Special Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi and former Permanent Representative of India to UN Organisations in Geneva.

  • Amb. Dilip Sinha Chair: Amb. Vinod C Khanna Date: 13 September 2017 Institute of Chinese Studies, Delhi
    China in the UN Security Council Speaker: Amb. Dilip Sinha Chair: Amb. Vinod C Khanna Date: 13 September 2017 Institute of Chinese Studies, Delhi This presentation is a work in progress for Ambassador Dilip Sinha. His presentation largly dealt with the two aspects of China in the Security Council: i) How did China become the permanent member of the Security Council and ii) How had China progressed with its position in the Council and its resolutions on the various questions of peace and secuirty around the world? According to the speaker, China has the most colorful or chequerd membership among the P5. Initially, Republic of China was the part of UN Declaration which was signed on 1 July 1942, then People’s Republic of China swapped the horses with Taiwan in 1971 and became an unlikely member which was not fully involved in both the world wars 1 . As he further explained, China became the part of the core group because Ambassador T. V. Soong was one of the four leaders who announced the famous declaration of United Nations as war alliance soon after the pearl harbor when US joined the war. According to Amb. Sinha, China was a superficial partner of the alliance as it was never the part of the various consultations going on in the course of the war. It was also ignored in the preparatory years of the United Nations establishment. China was neither the part of the elementary conferences of Cairo (1943), Tehran (1943), Yalta (1945) and Potsdam (1945) nor the participant in deciding the outline of the new international world order.
