The Cabinet of India, 1962

Letter from Chairperson

Greetings Delegates,
I am Kinshat Gangwani and it is my honour to serve as the Chairperson of the Cabinet of India,
1962 at the 11th iteration of The Shishukunj International School Model United Nations
Conference 2026. On behalf of the entire Bureau, I feel genuinely delighted to welcome you all
to a room that will leave you fundamentally changed.
I am a twelfth-grader, the world's biggest Ananya Pandey fanboy, a devoted Damon Salvatore
lover, and someone whose religion begins and ends with Messi. I back Alonso, Norris and
Hamilton every race weekend without apology, and my nights are spent shredding electric guitar
riffs in the rain until the neighbours give up. I attended my first MUN in 2022 with a Wikipedia
speech, a downloaded study guide, and the kind of blind confidence that only complete
ignorance can produce. That room dismantled me entirely and rebuilt me into someone who
actually knew what he was walking into. I live by the story of Icarus, When he was falling, he
didn't scream, he didn't regret but he laughed, he laughed as he fell for he knew that to fall is to
once have soared.
COI-62 is no ordinary committee. It is a Continuous Crisis Committee, full of surprises in every
session, frozen on 19th October 1962, a room where every assumption will be questioned,
every decision will carry real weight, and every delegate will be pushed far beyond what they
believed their ceiling was. My only promise to you as your Chairperson is that no question goes
unanswered, and you all leave having experienced what I hope will be the finest Indian crisis
committee at this conference.
Feel free to reach out for any queries regarding the ROP, the agenda or especially if you think
Ronaldo is better than Messi. Come in prepared, come in hungry, and come ready to have
everything you thought you knew turned completely upside down. Looking forward to meeting
you all this July.
Warm Regards,
Kinshat Gangwani

Agenda Description

Welcome to the Cabinet of India, 1962, a war room where unparalleled authority is matched by unforgivable failure. Convened under direct order of the Prime Minister, frozen at 19 October 1962, 18:00 IST, hours after the People's Liberation Army launched a coordinated offensive across NEFA and Ladakh. Nehru's faith in friendship lies shattered, Menon's decisions sit under fire, and Pakistan watches from a hostile border, weighing its opportunity. Buried warnings and broken promises brought the nation here. What breaks first: the border, the Army, or the Cabinet itself?
