Raja Mandala: Rethinking the Gulf
New Delhi is paying too little attention to the growing weight of the region and the strategic possibilities that it opens up.
India’s relations with the key Gulf countries have never been as good as they are today. The deepening energy interdependence is marked by growing volumes of energy imports into India and the prospect of substantive investments from the Gulf into the Indian hydrocarbon sector. The number of Indian migrant workers in the region stands at more than 7 million. The Gulf is among India’s top trading partners.
