| FOCUS
NORTHEAST: ON THE MAP, ON THE MIND
This summit follows
up on the panel 'Northeast India -
On
the Map, Off the Mind' at the
Summit of the Powerless in New Delhi,
2006.
The focus of this summit in Guwahati
will be to examine and critically
discuss what keeps the Northeast "off"
the mind. TEHELKA seeks to look for
a crucial, alternate, neutral space
to bring the front running minds of
all relevant groups to a common table;
to generate a common fount of thought;
to spark the will to look for creative
and humane ways out of the historic
and tragic mess that many parts of
the Northeast have become; to concretely
work towards peace and a positively
integrated society in the entire region.
The discussions will be on:
Policies for
the Northeast - taking stock
Security and
militarization - the AFSPA, search for
alternative mechanisms
Development Processes
and Fund flow - sensitized, inclusive
and equitable future |
