The bonds between India and Australia go as far back as pre history. Contemporary realities within one nation find almost a mirror image at time in the other. This is true of all domains, be it historical landmarks, politics, economy, international relations or the multicultural nature of existence and of course the developments in the arts and literature. What are the shared spaces between the two countries? What are the issues that differ or those that they do not see eye to eye? Why? What are the challenges that the two nations face in different spheres and how are they negotiating with those? Does the future seem bright in terms of a healthy and progressive relationship between the two countries? What are some of the exciting prospects that the two nations can look forward to? This is only a glimpse of the kind of questions dealt with by the contributors of this book.
