4 Today s Roadmap India s pivot to Eurasia J&K Governor N.N. Vohra, the man in the hot seat FUN FACT ANALYSIS VOCABULARY

5 India s pivot to Eurasia When you have complicated ties with neighbours, it makes sense to strengthen ties with your neighbours neighbours Sandwiched between U.S. President Donald Trump s acrimonious public exchanges with other leaders at the G-7 (group of seven industrialised countries) summit (June 7-8) and the headline-hogging U.S.-North Korea summit (June 12), the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Qingdao, China (June 9-10) attracted little international attention. It was the first SCO summit attended by India as a full-fledged member (It has been an observer since 2005.) The SCO grew out of the Shanghai Five grouping of Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, which was set up in 1996 to resolve boundary disputes between China and each of the four other members. The admission of India and Pakistan has expanded the geographical, demographic and economic profile of the SCO, which now has about half the world s population and a quarter of its GDP. The SCO s relevance for India lies in geography, economics and geopolitics. Its Central Asian countries border Afghanistan, Pakistan and China. Since the break-up of the Soviet Union, the optimal development of India s relations with Central Asian countries has been constrained by lack of overland access through Pakistan and Afghanistan/Iran, because of political and/or security reasons

6 CONTINUE In the formative years of the SCO, Russia pushed strongly for India to join it, to somewhat balance China s economic dominance in Central Asia. India has to carve out a political and economic space for itself in Central Asia, alongside Russia s role as net security provider and China s dominating economic presence. The India-Pakistan interaction was closely watched in Qingdao. The handshake and exchange of pleasantries between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain were noted, as also the absence of bilateral altercations. China made substantial concessions to settle its boundary disputes with Russia and Central Asia, in pursuit of larger strategic and economic objectives in the region. The challenge for India besides that of security and defence cooperation with Pakistan may come from increasing Chinese dominance of the SCO. Another possible game-changer could be the fallout of the much-heralded U.S.- North Korea summit. If, as Mr. Trump has hinted, peace in the Korean peninsula leads to reduced American military presence in the region, it would dramatically change the balance of forces in the Asia-Pacific in favour of China.

7 J&K Governor N.N. Vohra, the man in the hot seat The Centre is unlikely to remove him from the post as an experienced hand is required at the time of the Amarnath Yatra that commences on June 28. N.N. Vohra, is the governor of Jammu and Kashmir since Mr. Vohra (82), a 1959-batch IAS officer of the Punjab cadre, has only briefly remained out of work after he retired as Union Home Secretary in He was appointed Principal Secretary to thet hen Prime Minister, I.K. Gujral, in 1997 and has been on several committees on internal security and defence. The Centre is unlikely to remove him from the post as an experienced hand is required at the time of the Amarnath Yatra that commences on June 28. Mr. Vohra is also the ex-officio chairman of the Shri Amarnath ji Shrine Board and is the first one to offer prayers and inaugurate the yatra. The Centre has made massive security arrangements for the yatra after eight pilgrims were killed in an attack by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants last year.
