Synopsis

The papers in the volume analyse the trends and patterns of relations between India and Canada in the context of both being poised to play an increasingly important role in the international arena. Both India and Canada are regional powers with a global leadership role. Canada, the second largest country in the world, and India, the second most populous, share a number of common values including a firm belief in democracy, the rule of law and respect for pluralism. The two are among the rare examples of successful federal polities with a parliamentary system of government. While during the first ten years of Indias Independence the two countries had developed cordial and close relations to the extent of being called Indo-Canadian entente, the later decades of the twentieth century witnessed almost a freezing of those. The twenty-first century has begun with a renewed interest in the two countries. There is great scope in areas of economic and trade cooperation as well as security-military and non-military- issues including environment. The essays in the volume bring out new trends in strengthening Indo-Canada relations and hope for a positive growth. At the same time they highlight the challenges in the way. The volume is part of the various efforts initiated to enhance political and cultural understanding between two different nations belonging to two different civilizations, but capable of contributing significantly in world affairs in a positive manner.
