| Summary/Abstract |
Why does India have a vested interest in Eurasia? How feasibile is non-
Western Eurasia’s future? In this paper, the term ‘Eurasia’ refers to non-
Western Eurasia, that is, excludes the EU. Indian policymakers and scholars
believe that the Eurasian region’s strategic location, culture and civilization
offer great opportunities for the development of energy resources, trade,
and other fields. However, the enormous Eurasian landmass, covering China
in the east to Europe in the west, and the Arctic in the north to India in the
south, embraces various powerful countries that are facing serious security
and strategic challenges. The strategic importance of China’s Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI) intended to build a link to Eurasia pushes India to get more
involved in the Eurasian region.
