| Summary/Abstract |
The Arab Spring did not turn everything vis-a-vis Gulf politics upside down, but the post-Arab spring politics seems to provide a fundamental component for change in nature of India-GCC relations. Primarily, there are profound shifts in GCC countries' foreign policy making in the post-Arab spring period. The event, of course, has brought a likelihood of a post-American phase in the external policy formulation. This shift is more explicit in Qatar's case as the country is making concerted moves to come closer to the champions of post-Arab spring regional politics-Egypt and Turkey. India and China appear to be the major potential beneficiaries of the emerging situation.
