• W802156835 abstract "Rumel Dahiya (ed.), Review of Developments in the Gulf Region, Pentagon Press, (2014), New Delhi, Pages: 210, Price: Rs. 695.00The title of the book under review, and the subtitle - namely, Prospects and Challenges for India in the Next Two Decades, together sum up quite appropriately, the content of the volume. It is the outcome of a study undertaken by the Institute for Defence Studies, which was coordinated and edited by Brig Rumel Dahiya, (Retd.) on a region that is of critical importance for India for political, economical, social and geo-strategic reasons. The book analyses the impact of recent major developments in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council - Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and in the wider West Asian region covering Iran, Yemen, Egypt and Turkey, to understand their likely future evolution and the resulting opportunities and problems that they would create for India.The content of the book is well structured. It has seven sections, starting with the Introduction, which outlines the framework of the book. The next five sections are the five succeeding chapters covering separately the trends in India's relations with the Gulf countries with regard to issues of political and strategic ties, security, energy, trade, and Indian migrants in the region, in that order. Each chapter includes a brief abstract and concludes with listings of key drivers of change along with recommendations for the policy makers. A novel and interesting feature of the study is the seventh and final section, which provides three possible scenarios for the year 2030 for the West Asian region as a whole, based on the key drivers identified in the earlier chapters. Most of the chapters contain useful statistical tables and with the exception of the section named Scenarios, all the remaining six sections contain notes and references. An index is provided at the end of the book.The section Introduction covers broadly, the reasons why the Gulf is important for India. It also identifies the main actors, not just in the Gulf but also in the wider West Asian region, namely, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, Turkey and Yemen, whose roles would have a bearing on the developments in the Gulf. This section also explains why and how India's bilateral and multilateral interactions have been limited to the levels currently seen. The reasons given range from the differences in the respective governing structures - such as democratic in India versus monarchic in the Gulf countries, at the national level, to the negative role of Pakistan at the regional level, and to their being on the opposite sides during the Cold War. With the end of the Cold War, the major changes in the Indian foreign and economic policies; India's energy requirements combined with the US reducing its energy dependence on the Gulf region; Iran's nuclear ambitions and its control over the Straits of Hormuz with implications for India's oil supplies; the impact of the Arab spring; and the Shia-Sunni rivalry are some of the themes visualised as having determining influences on the trajectory of Indo-Gulf relations.The basic thesis of the chapter on strengthening political and strategic ties between India and the Gulf is that in the past our relations were dominated solely by energy imports from the region and our exports to that region. The lack of political depth in our relations has been ascribed to several factors besides those already noted in the Introduction. These include Pakistan's propaganda against India with regard to Kashmir and Bangladesh; India's links initially and for several succeeding decades with the secular and leftist governments in Egypt, Iraq and Syria, and its recognition of Israel. Another significant factor mentioned is the perception in the Gulf of soft-pedalling by India with respect to both, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The end of the Cold War had not only removed the geo-political divide between India and the Gulf countries but the former was seen by the latter in the glow of the attention given by the US, the current sole superpower, in its new global-security-architecture-in-the-making. …" @default.
