| Summary, etc |
Mumtaz Ahmad Shah observes that India’s relations with West Asia have evolved through various phases. At first there was anti-colonial solidarity with the Arab World with regard to the Palestinian cause, in view of India’s domestic political equation, but over time, various challenges and opportunities reset the trajectory of India’s West Asia policy. Against this backdrop, the following study aims to trace how India came to embrace multi-alignment in the post-Cold War period; it assesses whether the delicate balancing act between support for the Palestinian cause and expanding relations with Israel at one level and simultaneously nurturing ties with Israel, Iran, and Saudi Arabia at another level has worked. The paper argues that India’s policy of bilateralism and support of Arab secular nationalism has been unsustainable in West Asia, and that New Delhi has come to follow selected preferences based on a hierarchy of economic and strategic priorities. – Reproduced |
