Dear allPlease find here with the write-up on nobel laureate John Nash based on the conversation with an young Assamese Dr. Surajit Borkotokey. The article is published in Assam Tribune , Horizon , today The game theory is now more relevant with the new allignments of American policy on NATO , Paris Agreement and other issues like Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project, Gerukamukh , Assam .

Actually initially I thought of giving you precise comments on the issues you posed. But then it occurred to me that if I am to give a game theoretic explanation to those issues I need to explain certain phenomena of Game Theory. But while writing those things at one point of time I was not sure whether I could finish it by today itself. But I tried to be little less rigorous in the last couple of issues as you can understand the problem solving follows the same path.I am looking for your comments.Regards,Surajit Prof. Surajit Borkotokey Head, Department of Mathematics &Chairperson, Centre for Computer Studies Dibrugarh UniversityDibrugarh, Assam India-786004 ph. 091-9954430677 On Sun, Jun 4, 2017 at 7:06 PM, Surajit Borkotokey <[email protected]> wrote: Yes Ankur Da,I am working on it.

I started with the story of Akbar and Birbal about the filling of the pond with milk. Then justified the behavior of the commons as its a Nash equilibrium. Then said something about Ostrome and her empirical works for which she visited various parts of the world. Gave examples of communities where sustainable uses of the commons are seen. My argument in the article is the following. To avert the Tragedy of Commons the game has to be so designed that the behaviour of the commons which used to be Nash in the earlier game can no more be Nash in the redesigned game. Now Nash will be shifted to the strategy that leads to the social welfare. I cited Aumann's paper in this regard. Received some very interesting feedbacks. Started with our VC who said that the Swach Bharat Abhiyan and the likes are not successful upto the desired level because people don't find any motivation...the outcomes are farsighted. They need myopic incentives. Then there was a lady from Guwahati who made a paper cut of the article to show to her fellow flat dwellers in their society as they fall victim to the tragedy of commons...water wastage, dirt in the common places etc...There are also suggestions for the next pieces of writings. Most of them are surprised to see the application of Mathematics in day to day life. Mathematics for most of the common people is still jargons of symbols, abstract concepts etc. it seems.Sharing with you as you may find it interesting.
