Indian Mandala: Empowering the Pacific Region with a Secure India

In recent weeks, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has visited Japan and met with the leaders of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad). Meanwhile in India, the country hosted the G20 Summit facilitated by Modi through tourism. The Prime Minister also flew to Papua New Guinea (PNG) this week to participate in the Forum for India-Pacific Islands Cooperation (FIPIC), becoming the first Indian leader to participate in the event. U.S. President Joe Biden was scheduled to join them, but flew home to manage the country’s debt limit crisis and was instead represented by the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.

The meeting in Papua New Guinea and the fourteen regional countries involved in FIPIC symbolizes India’s interconnectedness with the Pacific region. India is simultaneously taking a strong middle ground in the Ukrainian War, showing non-Western countries the country is willing to provide economic support to fight climate change, which is a key concern for the Pacific islands that may soon be affected by rising sea levels.

In response to Prime Minister Marape’s warm welcomes, where he proclaimed India as the “third big voice,” Modi expressed his willingness to share India’s capabilities and experiences. He mentioned digital technology, space technology, health security, food security, climate change, and environment protection as potential sharing opportunities. The United States also signed a $45 million deal with PNG to boost economic and security cooperation, and an additional agreement to increase surveillance of the nation’s exclusive economic zone.

India’s presence in the Pacific appears as a safer power in the region. At the moment, India does not possess the same military capabilities of other Western countries and cannot surpass China’s influence. Nonetheless, the country is striving to make a difference by leveraging its knowledge and experiences to help countries, particularly those in the Pacific region, in areas like solar energy and climate change.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs reported there are around 320,000 Indians living in the region, many of whom have immigrated over time. These people offer bridgehead opportunities to promote trade and can play a huge part in the country’s future.

In conclusion, India is determined to solidify its power in the Pacific region by using available resources, similar initiatives from other countries, and its own capabilities to achieve its goals. By taking these steps, India can successfully become a safe and reliable power in the Indo-Pacific.

Is Inclusive Education Still Unattainable in Nagaland?

In Nagaland the dream of providing inclusive education remains unfulfilled. On Friday, Diethono Nakhro, the State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, urged everyone in the state including churches, civil societies and government departments to take responsibility for ensuring inclusive education. She lamented that there are few inclusive schools in the state and the available data relating to persons with disabilities are underestimated.

In the workshop on Rights of Children with Disabilities, Kopele Tepa, Headmistress of Bumblebee Inclusive School, Kohima, made the point that the idea of inclusion is still quite exclusive as PwDs are not consulted or included in the conversation or planning. She further encouraged creating awareness about PwDs to ensure that educational institutions are more accessible to them.

Ngaugonbe, joint secretary of NSDF Nagaland, discussed during the workshop some of the challenges faced by CwDs when it comes to education. These included lack of awareness of available guidelines and provisions related to PwDs, lack of trained educators, lack of special education support, lack of accessible classrooms, and lack of inclusion in planning solutions. He proposed that scholarships can be initiated by the government for CwDs and that trained professionals and accessible classrooms should also be available to ensure that all children have a fair chance to attend school and learn.

Deputy Director of School Education Department, Nellayappan B, informed that the department is making changes and striving for inclusive education, but there is a need to produce more trained professionals and open doors of educational institutions more widely for PwDs. He proposed that the state government can consider training surplus government teachers as special education teachers to facilitate this.

On the whole, the need of the hour is to create more awareness and ensure opportunities and support for PwDs. Governments, civil societies, and churches need to come together to work on the goal of giving everyone equal opportunity to education while ensuring that the rights of CwDs are respected.
