    India’s Saudi Policy: Bridge to the Future

    P R Kumaraswamy & Md Muddassir Quamar

    23 October 2020

    India’s relations with Saudi Arabia has evovled and improved over the years resulting in greater political engagment between the two countries. What role did the ‘Pakistan’ factor play and did it use the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation to push the Kashmir issue? Over the years, have India and Saudi Arabia strengthened economic relations and what impact will a dwindling American influence in the Gulf region have on this relationship?
    This book tries to address several such questions, while also tracing historical, trade and cultural connections. It ends with a suggestion that besides enhancing bilateral ties, India must focus on the Islamic dimension that could yield substantial gains.
