    We need to focus on quality, training, excellence and investment for India’s soft power to be globally recognised, asserts an Indian arts expert. India is the world’s largest democracy. India has a global presence thanks to its economically successful diaspora, a successful IT industry and its internationally loved cuisine, cinema, dance and music. Our much-appreciated multi-culturalism, religious pluralism and the heritage of yoga, Ayurveda and philosophy also play a vital role in establishing India’s soft power globally. A survey of [...]

          India has no shortage of potential partners, so the UK must act to ensure that we are India’s partner of choice, writes an outspoken Brexiteer. The global economy is undergoing historic transformations as economic and political power continues shifting towards Asia. With a rising share of the world’s total GDP, the UK needs to ensure it achieves greater strategic access into Asia’s biggest markets, notably into India. The importance of this preferential access cannot be overstated: as India is the [...]

            Easier visa regime will benefit Britain more than India

            2018-08-16T10:50:38+00:00August 3rd, 2018|UK Edition - August 2018|

            Tough immigration norms in the UK are holding up a proposed trade deal with India. But studies show that easier visas will also help Britain stave off competition from Australia and retain its position as the second-most popular education destination in the world. The Theresa May government’s hard line on immigration is not only causing outrage in India, it is also costing the UK dear. Oxford, Cambridge, St. Andrews, SOAS, LSE and many other iconic institutions that made Great Britain [...]

              The relationship between India and the UK is gradually moving beyond its nostalgic framework to look towards a future that is ripe with opportunities, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Ask any foreign policy expert in London or New Delhi about the state of UK-India relations and the most probable answer will be “warm and close”. But dig a little deeper and these same experts will begin to grope for words. The truth is that the two countries [...]

                India and the UK are increasingly aligned on the Commonwealth’s potential to provide an impetus to trade and investment, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. Tennis legend Billie Jean King famously said: “Create your legacy, then pass on the baton”. As the 25th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) draws closer, there is anticipation that an initiative taken to bring trade and investment to the forefront of the grouping’s concerns may, in the years to come, see the [...]

                  Can the Commonwealth help Brexit-hit Britain?

                  2020-03-05T06:39:22+00:00March 21st, 2018|2017/2018, Commonwealth, Home Page, UK Edition- April 2018, Year|

                  A leading anti-Brexit voice within the UK political establishment calls for a democratic exit from Brexit to firm up closer ties with the Commonwealth. Some Brexiteers have promoted the Commonwealth as an alternative to membership of the European Union (EU). In truth, the European Union and the Commonwealth are each stronger with Britain playing a leading role in both. And Britain is stronger too. The most effective way to exercise global influence is to remain a member of the largest, [...]

                      Businesses, the diaspora and policy powerhouses will all need to work in tandem to build lasting UK-India ties, writes India Inc. Founder & CEO Manoj Ladwa. This year, there is an important chance to reassess the strength of India’s bond with the UK and show the world that India is a bridge-building nation.
