Lumami, October 7 (MExN): Nagaland University, Department of Sociology, Lumami organised lecture as part of its Sociology Lecture Series on October 4.
The event featured Professor Anjan Chakrabarti, Director, UGC Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Centre, North Bengal University, who delivered lecture on “Silk Route to Look East/Act East: North East India in Perspective,” informed a press release from NU, Lumami PRO.
Professor Chakrabarti offered a comprehensive analysis of Northeast India's historical trajectory.
His lecture traced the region's development through three distinct periods: precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial.
A key focus of his presentation was challenging the prevalent notion of the Northeast's isolation, arguing instead that the region maintained strong historical connections until the British colonial administration's territorial reorganization disrupted established trade routes and developmental pathways.
Similarly the conflict and security interests have further hampered the growth of economic opportunities in the region.
He also spoke on how these geopolitical changes shaped the region's development trajectory and current circumstances.
The session was moderated by Dr Suraj Beri, Asst Professor, Department of Sociology and vote of thanks was delivered by Dr Dipika Paul, Asst Professor, Department of Sociology.
