Description
Reconnecting Britain and India: Ideas for an Enhanced Partnership seeks to survey the main features of a diverse and complex bilateral relationship. As the shadows of the colonial period fade into history, this book aims to analyse the scope for a new relationship that recognises the role the UK can play in India's quest for international stature. Original essays from more than three dozen thought-leaders from the worlds of academia, business, politics and the arts assess the potential for the two countries to forge an 'enhanced partnership', the objective set out by the two prime ministers, Manmohan Singh and David Cameron during the latter's 2010 visit to India.
