Reclamation of PoK - Alliances, Road Ahead & Strategies.

Reclamation of PoK - Alliances, Road Ahead & Strategies.

Mr. Srinivas Jayaprakash provided a wonderful lecture on the topic Reclamation of PoK- Alliances, Road Ahead & Strategies. He began by addressing the problem of secularism in Kashmir and how it has changed over the years. Various opportunities that came our way that could have paved the way for India in becoming one of the most powerful nations in the world was dealt in detail and the reasons as to why we missed were also clearly explained. 

The resource person precisely stated the need for well established strategies that would have long term effects for about 50-60 years rather than those that were prepared in the past with no foresight, which he states might be one of the reasons for us to be in the current position. 

He rightly pointed out the history and economic reasons behind the reclamation of PoK and the aftermath of the merger. He also explained how India geographically located on a higher altitude gets the advantage of power over jurisdiction. The concept of military alliances were also briefed. International affairs between Pakistan, India and China were explained. The timeline of how Bangladesh would emerge as a powerful nation was also touched upon in the session. 

On the whole it was a very insightful webinar and was attended by around 30 students from Saveetha School of Law.
