Reconnecting Britain and India: Ideas for an Enhanced Partnership seeks to survey the main features of a diverse and complex bilateral relationship. As the shadows of the colonial period fade into history, this book aims to analyse the scope for a new relationship that recognises the role the UK can play in India’s quest for international stature. Original essays from more than three dozen thought-leaders from the worlds of academia, business, politics and the arts assess the potential for the two countries to forge an `enhanced partnership’, the objective set out by the two prime ministers, Manmohan Singh and David Cameron during the latter’s 2010 visit to India.
