Like Andy, the recipients of this award also demonstrate that just one courageous and hardworking individual can take charge of his or her fate and ultimately transform the lives of thousands of people, their families, and their communities. About Andy Matsui: Like many AUW students, Andy Matsui grew up in a rural village. He was not encouraged to pursue a university education. Instead, he was expected to remain on the family farm to care for his parents and siblings. However, Andy also fought to defy cultural conventions and succeed on his own terms. He sailed from Japan to America with $28 in his pocket in 1961, and eventually became the founder, owner, and president of Matsui Nursery, America’s largest orchid nursery. Through the Matsui Foundation, Andy donates millions to the children of immigrants so that they may pursue a university education. In January 2016, Andy made a $1 million gift to AUW’s endowment, so that more deserving women will be able to access the liberal arts and sciences education offered at AUW. AUW 7th Commencement Ceremony, May 11, 2019 7 A Message from the Vice Chancellor to the Class of 2019 Dear Class of 2019, It gives me great pleasure to welcome you into the company of scholars, a community of educated women and men that spans the globe and millennia. You have worked diligently to reach this point, and I am pleased to offer my personal congratulations to you on this memorable and special occasion. As you accept your diplomas and go on to innovate the political, social, and economic landscapes of your communities, I hope that you will take a moment to cherish the community that surrounds you today. No one graduates alone. All along the way there have been teachers, classmates, family members, friends, mentors, and other supporters who have worked tirelessly with you to help bring you to this point. They did it because they believe in you; they believe in your courage, your empathy for others, and your commitment to live and work in the service of something greater than yourselves. They believe that you, together with other cohorts of AUW graduates spanning industries and countries, will change the world for the better. I, too, am moved by all that you have accomplished and by all that you are on the cusp of achieving. It has been a pleasure witnessing you grow into the leaders you have and will continue to become. Wherever you go, all of us in the AUW community will follow your paths with interest, cheering for you every step of the way. Warmly, PROFESSOR NIRMALA RAO, OBE, FAcSS Vice Chancellor, Asian University for Women 8 AUW 7th Commencement Ceremony, May 11, 2019 Lisianthus Manifesto Each year, the graduating class selects a metaphor to represent their community. This year, the AUW Class of 2019 voted to call themselves Lisianthus, after a flower that requires specific conditions to first germinate, but then grows into a resilient and bloomful plant. The Lisianthus symbolizes perseverance, overcoming, gratitude, and enduring bonds. The Lisianthus Manifesto is a reflective, inspired, and public declaration of the beliefs and intentions of the Class of 2019. It reflects what students have learned and become as students of AUW. It expresses what they believe in and what they will achieve as graduates, both in terms of service to AUW and the world at large. Manifesto of the AUW Class of 2019 “In this life we prepare for things, for moments and events and We are Lisianthus—100 petals of a versatile flower, sown together situations… We worry about with the seed of unity, breaking the wall of stereotypes with our growth. wrongs, think about injustices, Though we may have different roots, when we emerge from the dirt, we read what Tolstoy or Ruskin… has rise above all towards the sun. to say… Then, all of a sudden, the We are shards of a fragment, hues of a colour, an assembly of the issue is not whether we agree with languages, dress, food and representations of our cultures. Different, what we have heard and read and yet so similar. One heart in different bodies; open hearts and fresh studied… The issue is us, and what minds. We are sisters and daughters of the forgotten souls of an unjust we have become.” world. Rising above all towards a new beginning like a wind that knows no border.

  • India-Bangladesh Relations India Was the First Country to Recognize
    India-Bangladesh Relations India was the first country to recognize Bangladesh as a separate and independent state and established diplomatic relations with the country immediately after its independence in December 1971. India's links with Bangladesh are civilizational, cultural, social and economic. There is much that unites the two countries – a shared history and common heritage, linguistic and cultural ties, passion for music, literature and the arts. This commonality is reflected in our multi-dimensional and expanding relations. India and Bangladesh’s geographical locations complement each other and present an opportunity for both to further develop their connectivity links and economies. In the last more than four decades, the two countries have continued to consolidate their political, economic, trade and cultural relations and have built a comprehensive institutional framework to promote bilateral cooperation. India and Bangladesh share a 4096.7 km. of border, which is the largest land border that India shares with any of its neighbouring countries, out of which 1116.2 km is riverine. The settlement of the maritime boundary arbitration between Bangladesh and India, as per UNCLOS award on July 7, 2014, paves the way for the economic development of this part of the Bay of Bengal, which will be beneficial to both countries. Both countries share 54 rivers, out of which, a treaty is already in existence for sharing of the Ganges water and both sides are working for early finalisation of agreements for sharing of water of other common rivers. Both countries are also cooperating in the conservation of the entire Sunderbans ecosystem, which is a common biodiversity heritage.

When I decided in the 1980s that Bengal's priceless literature ought to be given its rightful place in the world of letters in order for readers outside the Bengali language to have access to it, and that even a practitioner of engineering and science might summon the courage and commitment to offer his labors to it, I was most apprehensive about taking on what to me was the most sacred treasure in that domain - the lyrical songs of Rabindranath Tagore known to all beholden Bengalis collectively as Rabindra Sangeet.
