Write an article on "India will Rise and Shine again"
Answers
Answer:
India, which boasts a long history and rich traditions, consistently occupied an important position in the world economy prior to the Industrial Revolution. However, the nation was left out of the expansion of the world economy and it became customary for it to be treated from the economic perspective as a "poor" and "backward" developing country. India began to "shine" again with the globalization of the market economy at the end of the twentieth century, and most observers expect that in the not-so-distant future the nation will, together with China, which has already achieved remarkable progress, become a major power which will influence the future of Japan.
The National Institute for Research Advancement (NIRA) organized a research group on India in 2004, and began conducting research to obtain a true picture of India's status as it becomes a major economic power. The group's major focus was where India's "shine" comes from and whether the nation will be able to continue to "shine" in the future. In conducting research we advanced our research from the perspective of a panoramic overview of Indian society, a society in which politics, economy, history and culture are harmoniously blended.
This approach is reflected in the composition of this report, entitled "Is India Shining?" Two of the papers were written by visiting researchers at NIRA with backgrounds in government and academia. These papers cross political, economic, historical and cultural boundaries to offer a true image of India's "shine." Shinyasu Hoshino has extensive knowledge of economic development in postwar Japan and contemporary China, and his paper "Indo Ni Bokkouki wa Aruka (Is India Rising?)," offers a comprehensive summary of India's political and economic situation. Yo Nakanishi's paper "Indo no Hito to Shakai (India's People and Society)" that explains the rise and decline of ethnic groups, cultures and religions in the area from the Middle East to the Indian subcontinent. "'Tayousei' ni Izonsuru 'Indo Moderu' no Jizokukanousei (Sustainability of the "Indian Model" that Relies on "Diversity")" by Yoshiyuki Mita, which takes as its starting point a concept proposed by Dr. Amartya Sen, a winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics whose major concern continues to be the achievement of freedom from poverty in India, aims to complement the comprehensive approach of the other two authors while also considering Dr. Sen's perspective.
This report attempts to gain a picture of what India, which has commenced its rise to become a major economic power in the twenty-first century, will mean to Japan in the future. By clarifying the fundamental aspects of Indian society, this report presents important points which will assist in formulating strategies for future relations between Japan and India.
