INDIA'S LOOK EAST ACT EAST : ARE WE FINALLY THERE ? / #CASADialogues #GunnersShot

This video features a panel discussion on India’s transition from a "Look East" to an "Act East" policy. The panel of Ambassador Gurjit Singh, Lt Gen Gautam Moorthy, Lt Gen Shokin Chauhan and Lt Gen PR Shankar examine whether the nation has truly established itself as a regional leader. They highlight significant strategic shifts, noting that India has successfully evolved into a security provider through defense exports and maritime cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. However, the dialogue identifies critical implementation deficits, particularly regarding delayed infrastructure projects and a failure to fully integrate into regional supply chains compared to China. Security challenges in Northeast India and political instability in Myanmar and Bangladesh remain major obstacles that hinder physical connectivity to Southeast Asia. While India has gained geopolitical influence and offers a democratic alternative to Chinese dominance, it has not yet reached its full potential. Achieving the "Act East" vision requires overcoming bureaucratic inertia and stabilizing border regions to transform from a silent partner into a vibrant economic hub.
