This volume then commemorates 50 years of diplomatic relations between India and Singapore and highlights some of those diverse areas. It also explores the less well-known facets about the political, economic, commercial, and social engagements between the two countries during the last five decades. It is imperative to highlight these facets as Singapore and India draw closer to each other in a post-Cold War globalized world. It appears today that this engagement was the normal course of history and that the Cold War disengagement was but a short-term aberration. Both countries are of the view that India is an Asian political and economic giant that should play its legitimate role in the Asian and global political and economic order.

This volume brings together eminent scholars and public personalities who have participated in the making of India and Singapore relations. Many of the authors have directly contributed to the development of diplomatic relations between India and Singapore. Readers will therefore benefit from a ring side view of the evolution of this relationship over the last several decades.
