This presentation discusses whether history is a valid tool for planning the future. It provides examples of both how history can inform future planning but also how the future is not determined by the past. Specifically, it examines how Gujarat was able to recover strongly from a devastating 2001 earthquake through community and government efforts, despite expectations that economic and social recovery would be difficult. It also discusses how India successfully implemented democracy despite expectations that pluralistic societies were not suited for it, based on other countries' histories. The presentation concludes that while history can provide lessons, the future is not predetermined and unexpected outcomes are possible through collective action.

GUJARAT EARTHQUAKE , 2001 When India was celebrating its 52nd Republic Day on 26th January 2001, the Western part of the country faced one of the worst earthquakes in history. 26 January 2015 marks the 14th anniversary of one of the most devastating disasters that left nearly a million families homeless. The earthquake which last for two minutes killed more than 19727 people in Gujarat. ● Twenty one out of 25 districts in the state was were totally destroyed and Kutch was the worst affected district , followed by Ahmedabad ,Jamnagar and Rajkot. ● Following the massive 7.9 magnitude quake ,more than 5oo aftershocks continued to strike different parts of Gujarat till March. ● When many believed that Gujarat would take years to get back to normal, and the business and trade activities will never flourish again in the state, the collective efforts and planning of the people and the government helped the state to recover and moreover lead the industrial , healthcare and education sector reached new heights. HOW HISTORY DID NOT AFFECT THE FUTURE PLANNING IN GUJARAT BUSINESS BOOM ◼ Some 300 companies established their business in Kutch even though being aware of the fact that Kutch is listed among as an earthquake prone area. ◼ Mundra was a small fishing port in Kutch before the earthquake and its an industrial hub handling hundreds of tonnes of goods everyday. ◼ Near ANJAR, a city that was devastated by the earthquake , the biggest towel factory in the world by Welspun was set up in just nine months. INDIAN DEMOCRACY AND OUR FIRST GENERAL ELECTIONS • When India got independence ,our leaders decided to opt Democracy as a form of governance. • Universal Adult Franchise i.e. giving every individual the right to vote was enshrined in our Constitution. • But keeping in view the past history of our country many dignitaries around the world revealed that Democracy would be a failure in a country which has just attained independence ,has just come out of the trauma of partition , where people are illiterate and moreover in a country where pluralism exists i.e. where people of different religion ,caste group and cultural groups live together in a society ,hence democracy was considered to be a failure in a country like India. ● But despite of our past failures , the then Election Commissioner ,Sukumar Sen, planned our future vision to be democratic and in the year 1950, conducted our first general elections which not only proved our critics wrong but India emerged as the largest democracy in the world and continues to be so. ● Despite of the fact ,where the history revealed that in countries where pluralism exist, democracy is deemed to be a failure, our country proved that democracy can exist anywhere and everywhere in the world.
