Who,What,Why?
Did you know that International Relations have a dynamic
dress-sense? Trends change. New political views become fashionable. Economics
sport a fresh avatar. Defence takes the ‘modern’ route. East meets West.
Chennai Centre for China Studies (C3S) (www.c3sindia.org) realizes these seasonal shifts in I.R.,
which demand youth-based perceptions. In this light, C3S has kick-started
the ‘Young Minds of C3S’!
“Quo Vadis (where do you go), oh thee of envious youth?”
The question echoes through the strategic community in
Chennai...
While there is a strong circle of established and
experienced veterans in the field of international relations in the city, there
is scope for building a community of young people in this field. ‘Young Minds
of C3S’ aims to bring together the many rivers of knowledge flowing through the
young blood of Chennai and elsewhere, and bring them to a common sea. Here they
share knowledge on China and brainstorm on the country's internal dynamics and
international relations. The larger goal always in sight is improving India-China
bilateral linkages.
YMC3S members discuss, debate and interact on a wide range
of China related issues. The platter of topics is a diverse buffet, with
ingredients varying from politics, economics, bilateral relations, regional
cooperation, defense/strategy, science, technology, gender issues, human
rights, law, development, media and culture.
Meetings and events keep the YMC3S wheels whirring. Apart
from these, virtual dialogue keeps the buzz on China active.
Move over Quo Vadis... its time for YMC3S to be the cutting-edge transit point for the next generation with an eye on China.
