| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Islamic revolution in Iran during 1978-79 resulted in bringing about a fundamental change in the Iranian foreign policy orientation that had a positive bearing on the indo-Iranian relationship. To reinforce this relationship the two countries began to discover and emphasize a number of commonalities between the two in history and in contemporary times. In this context while as Pakistan continued to be pro-west and the US partner in anti-Soviet war in Afghanistan, Iran gained greater proximity with India as a member of non- aligned community. In the changed context Iran became weary of the OIC and its activities. This indifference towards OIC and many of its conservatively oriented concerns was reinforced by Iraq-Iran war that polarized the Muslim countries. |
