The arc to Southeast Asia India and ASEAN must draw up a functional road map to enhance ties

Republic Day celebrations in a dramatic declaration of intent by New Delhi to boost India’s

ties with Southeast Asia

Year 2017 was an important landmark as India and

• ASEAN commemorated 25 years of their partnership,

• 15 years of summit level interaction, and •

• 5 years of strategic partnership

Challenge now is to map out next steps in IndiaASEAN partnership at this time of unprecedented

geopolitical •flux in the wider IndoPacific.

Overcoming disillusionment(मोहभंग)

ASEAN member states have been disappointed that India continues to punch below its

weight in the region- India’s capacity to provide development assistance, market access

and security guarantees remains limited


ContinueModi government’s ‘Act East’ policy is aimed at enhancing India’s strategic profile in

East and Southeast Asia.

Main focus remains on South Asia and the Indian Ocean region

India moving away from the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) to the

Bay of Bengal Initiative for MultiSectoralTechnical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC)

But it is no match for China’s regional profile

India’s export sector remains weak and the government’s focus has shifted to boosting

manufacturing domestically.

The three Cs of commerce, connectivity and culture

They also need to focus on areas such as digital technologies

Chinese giants begin to dominate the digital space in Southeast Asia

Indian IT sector may take some advantage of the seeming reluctance of ASEAN states to

put all their eggs in the Chinese basket.


Continue India as a facilitator of the ASEANwide digital economy would not only challenge

China but also emerge as an economic guarantor of its own

Focus on projects

Delhi now needs to focus on more effective delivery of projects it is already committed to.

IndiaMyanmarThailand Trilateral Highway, which will run from Moreh in Manipur

to Mae Sot inThailand via Myanmar, is key

plan is to extend this highway to Cambodia, Laos andVietnam in an attempt to project India’s

role in the emerging transportation architecture

China having three times more commercial flights than India to Southeast Asia, improving air

connectivity between India and ASEAN countries should also be high on the agenda

Bay of Bengal can be used as an exploratory ground for the development of an India-ASEAN

maritime framework.

Finally, the cultural connect between the two needs strengthening.


ContinueWhile India o•ers scholarships to students from ASEAN states to study at Nalanda University,

this initiative should be extended to the IITs and the IIMs.Tourism too can be further encouraged

The need now is to focus on functional cooperation and make the idea of an

IndiaASEAN partnership more exciting.


Today- Question- 150-250 words

To focus on current state of India’s relationship with ASEAN countries. What

should be India’s priorities when dealing with the ASEAN?


A turtle recovery plan Integrated conservation measures are needed to protect sea turtles

Every year, thousands of sea turtles are accidentally captured,injured or killed by mechanised boats

, trawl nets and gill nets operated and used by comercial •fishermen.

Each year, environmentalists record a high number of dead turtles washing up ashore

When turtles begin migrating to their nesting grounds on beaches

•Five species in Indian waters — Leatherback, Loggerhead, Hawksbill, Green and Olive Ridley.

In India, though sea turtles are protected under the IndianWildlife Protection Act of 1972,

under the Schedule I Part II, they face grave threats.

Concern for maintaining marine biodiversity.

Turtle breeding season is usually between November and December- moving towards beaches

Role in marine ecosystem

Sea turtles, especially the leatherback, keep jelly•fish under control, thereby helping to

maintain healthy •fish stocks in the oceans - Green turtle feeds on sea grass beds


ContinueUnder current regulations, mechanised trawl boats are not allowed to operate within 8 km of the

shore in Andhra Pradesh, 5.5 km inTamil Nadu and 5 km in Odisha.

However, these limits are not being enforced

All areas where •fishing boats land need to be monitored.

U.S., all trawl shrimp •fishing vessels need to be equipped with turtle excluder devices orTEDs,

which are twodimensional net inserts with large escape openings for turtles

If used correctly, TEDs have been found to reduce turtle captures by 90%.

These small but meaningful measures will help the sea turtles that are our marine heritage have

another chance at survival.
