The ties between India and Australia stem from the early nineteenth century, initially in trade, and then, as parts of the British Empire, together playing significant roles in both World Wars. Since Indian independence there has been a developing relationship, recently expressed in the IOR-ARC where Australia succeeded India as Chair in 2013. Cooperation continues on initiatives from security and environmental issues, to energy and education.
The breadth of interests covered by the essays in this collection reflects the diverse concerns of those in Australia with an academic interest in India. The essays range from discussions of India`s diplomatic relationships and energy strategy to analyses of communalism and the strength of village elites, and on to considerations of the fundamentals of Hinduism. The contributors come from equally wide backgrounds, reflecting the complexion of Australian academia.
