Prime Minister Theresa May’s ongoing three-day visit to India is expected to provide an insight into how Britain seeks to energise its relations with India post Brexit.
Expectations from the summit-level talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Theresa May should be seen in the context of new realities defined by Britain’s shrinking economy. And also in the context of a rising India predicted to be the largest global economy in purchasing power parity terms by 2050, having finally embraced the argument of power.
For both countries, May’s visit is a moment to seize for forging a mutually reinforcing relationship rooted in a realistic appreciation of future challenges. The ties must also be anchored to a historic bond informed by the realities of the present.
