Networks: An Integrative Theme in the Natural and Social Sciences (80 min)
Speaker: Professor Sanjay Jain, Professor of Physics, University of Delhi
Chair: Prof. Ajoy Ghatak, former Professor of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi
 
Networks underlie some of the most fascinating phenomena around us: life, society, and thought. The study of these networks is part of a new movement in science that respects the essential indivisibility of the complex systems that exhibit these phenomena and attempts to understand them as wholes and not just as the sum of their parts. The talk gives some examples of this - networks of molecules in living organisms; of species in ecosystems; social and economic networks in societies; neural networks in brains; and also describes how their study is breaking down barriers between disciplines. An example of how such an approach helps illuminate the origin of life will be discussed.

Restoring India-Nepal Relations: What Steps to Take

Speakers: Amb. Bekh Bahadur Thapa, former Ambassador of Nepal to India; 
Amb. Ranjit Rae, former Indian Ambassador to Nepal; and Maj. Gen. (Redt.) Ashok K. Mehta
 
Moderator: Maj. Gen. Ashok K. Mehta
 
India-Nepal relations are at one of their lowest points; but not as bad as in 2015.  Both countries have enjoyed excellent relations as two closet neighbours with open borders and shared history, geography, culture, religion and people to people ties beyond compare. The recent slide has to be arrested and relations restored to even keel between the two sovereign nations
