#HTLS2019 | Finding the right path in an age of disruption

We are living in an age of disruption. In the second decade of the twenty-first century, India remains the only country in the world that can legally produce fissile material without having to sign onto inequitable treaties. Much like the rest of the world at this moment in time, we in India could easily be drawn to a form of provincialism that closes our eyes to the desperate need for trade and grip onto industrial protectionism that places limits on foreign capital and finance. The EU Commission might be unwilling to relax long-held concerns with regards to a Free Trade Agreement with India, but there is much that can be done to prompt bargains to share data and technologies. In short, this is perhaps the time to work soundlessly but studiously to remain ever connected with parts of the world that have initiated, stimulated, and suffered in an age of global ecological disruption.
