| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Despite strong reasons to be friends, India and Israel remained estranged for more than forty years. India's West Asia policy to pledge solidarity with the cause of Palestinians and stand by the sentiments of Arab countries has been most instrumental for India's desertion of Israel. However, the relationship between the two countries did not ever reach the lowest ebb as Israel's response was prudent enough to understand India's practical and internal compulsions. Along time India's disillusionment with its Arab neighbours increased and so was changing its attitude towards Israel. The post-90s era brought a major shift in India's West Asia policy. India decided to bury its long-standing differences with Israel. |
