India’s Look East Policy: Opportunities for the tribal of Manipur
Abstract
India’s Look East policy was launched in 1991 by the then Narasimha Rao government to renew political contacts, increase economic integration and forge security cooperation with several countries of Southeast Asia as a means to strengthen political understanding.
There is different opinion or interpretation among scholars and writers regarding the implementation of India’s Look East Policy. Some says Look East Policy would generate socio-economic and commercial development to the people of Manipur in general and tribal in particular. In the contrary, some scholar and writers have the opinion that India’s Look East Policy is a threat to tribal culture and their traditional land ownership system.
This paper intends to throw lights what kind of development or benefits have been brought by India’s Look East Policy for the tribal of chandel district in Manipur.
