Recenzii
‘Rajiv Bhatia offers, in a capsule, the Afro-Indian fusion that has evolved over millennium, and that is undoubtedly shaping future global dynamics. A must read for any scholar, policymaker and strategist keen on trends that will define our tomorrow.’
Ambassador Dr. Monica Juma, EGH, Cabinet Secretary for Defence, Republic of Kenya
‘Diplomat-scholar Rajiv Bhatia presents a masterly dissertation on the past, present and future of the India-Africa relationship. His passion for Africa is transparent. Bhatia offers thoughtful strategic choices for India as it confronts the multiple challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.’
Lalit Mansingh, former Foreign Secretary, Government of India
‘In this eminently readable study, Ambassador Rajiv Bhatia has captured the essence of multilayered and multi-dimensional nature of complex ties between India and Africa since the past two decades. As a scholar-diplomat, the author’s passionate and praxiological commitment to promote Indo-African ties has incontestably made this exercise uniquely worthy of consideration by scholars, policy makers and graduate students.’
Rajen Harshé, leading Indian scholar in African and international relations studies and a former and the first Vice Chancellor of the Central University of Allahabad.
‘This beautifully written account of relations between two increasingly important actors – Africa and India – captures both Bhatia’s passion for Africa and his deep knowledge of a continent he experienced at first hand. His sharp and frank analysis scrutinises not only the relationship but also how it plays out in the context of the growing interest of other actors in Africa, not least China.’
Elizabeth Sidiropoulos, Chief Executive, The South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA)
