"A stronger India-Japan relationship is imperative amid growing global uncertainty. Beyond trade and investment, the two democracies must build Asia's most trusted civilisational partnership, rooted in shared values and the rule of law. Their demographic differences present an opportunity to create a joint care economy, expand female workforce participation, and strengthen economic resilience. India's progress should be measured not only by GDP but by the growth of an inclusive middle class. By combining Japan's manufacturing strengths with India's talent and innovation, the partnership can foster a more stable, equitable, and democratic Indo-Pacific."

"Major global concerns such as climate change, inequality, poverty, AI and automation, and displacement and migration need to be studied from an interdisciplinary perspective, but academic tribalism continues to protect disciplinary boundaries. There are five major hurdles sabotaging interdisciplinary research: epistemological clashes, the lack of a common vocabulary, inadequate institutional funding, the absence of dedicated journals, and academia's chronic silos syndrome. Academic tribalism is the norm, and egoistic clashes often hinder collaboration even when faculty work together. While everyone admits that interdisciplinarity is the future, institutional hurdles prevent research from translating into action. The ecosystem breeding academic tribalism must be challenged, interdisciplinarity consciously promoted, and faculty undertaking interdisciplinary projects incentivised."
