Shoring up the Northeast frontier: How rebranding the discourse on connectivity is imperative to meet the China challenge
March 21, 2022
Associate Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Ms. Shruti Pandalai’s Oped ‘Shoring up the Northeast frontier: How rebranding the discourse on connectivity is imperative to meet the China challenge’ has been published in ‘The Times of India’ on 21 March 2021.
MS Pandalai argues that as India and China negotiate this new normal, what New Delhi really needs is a new discourse on border connectivity. While strategic aims naturally guide the agenda, the conversation must be reimagined with local needs and context. This requires humanising our borders and a deeper awareness of our frontier states.
