Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policy of renewing and redefining India’s millennia-old civilisational bonds with the Middle East are bearing concrete fruit in the form of strategic alliances and investments in India’s infrastructure sector. Mention the Middle East to an Indian and he will immediately associate it with oil, deserts, Dubai and, very possibly, a non-resident relative stationed there. None of the above provides a misleading picture of the region; equally, none of them paints the complete picture either. Today, the [...]

The Indian PM’s visit to Washington will be crucial to determine how much the US President is in a mood to listen. The Indian political leadership has, since Independence, rooted for a multi-polar world. Now, with Donald Trump’s US voluntarily pulling back from its role as world’s peace keeper of last resort, India is close to being granted its 70-year-old wish. But, in keeping with the old Indian proverb that more troubles are caused by wishes that are granted than [...]

India has historically had close economic ties with the Arabian Peninsula, especially the Gulf region along its eastern shores, writes a banking expert. The first historically recorded maritime trade route in the world was, in fact, between the Indus Valley civilisation and the civilisation of Dilmun, which was located on the island of Bahrain and the adjacent shore of Saudi Arabia.

The British General Election of 2017 was intended to provide stability and certainty, but it did not go according to plan. Theresa May asked the country for a resounding personal mandate to strengthen her in the Brexit negotiations – but the public refused it, confounding expectations of a clear Conservative victory in this early General Election. But, even before the inconclusive result, it was striking how little light the election campaign had shone on the key choices facing Britain about [...]

A new report by a leading UK-based think tank claims there is enough untapped trade potential to offset the possible effects of Brexit on exports to the European Union (EU). Open Europe, in its research titled ‘Global Britain: Priorities for trade beyond the EU’, has said that Britain can make up for any export loss as it exits the EU by building on under-developed links with countries like India and making it a priority in its trade negotiations. “There’s little point making policy looking at [...]

A US Federal Reserve report forecasts that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has the potential to hike India’s GDP by nearly $100 billion. The US Federal Reserve has confirmed what many people, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, have been saying for a long time. Countering nay-sayers, they have maintained that the Goods & Services Tax (GST), which will come into force from July 1 this year, will push India into a higher growth trajectory [...]
