| Summary/Abstract |
The contemporary India–Africa relations, although built on strong historical, cultural and political relations, is driven today by economic and geopolitical concerns. Although this relationship has evolved significantly over the years, it had never taken on a strategic nature as it has today. With African nations becoming more assertive and playing host to emerging nations such as China and Brazil, India’s aim of becoming a partner in African development faces competition of sorts. It is imperative therefore, to create new and more productive engagements with Africa, ones that extend beyond the current milieu.
