About the Book

The book is a narrative of Indo-Central Asian contacts from November 1917 Revolution in Russia to 2002 i.e a decade following the emergence of sovereign independent nations in Central Asia.
After an initial spurt, the relations were virtually snapped but were restored after Stalin's death when Indo-Russian friendship prospered under Khrushchev. The new relationship, guided by the Soviet government was mostly diplomatic and cultural.

The birth of sovereign independent nations in Central Asia necessitated redefining and restructuring of Indo-Central Asian relations. They have become multi-dimensional and mutually satisfying.

The book is useful for researchers and general readers interested in independent India's relationship with its neighbours.
