Analysis of New Era of Relationship between Modern India and Great Britain Begins after Brexit

Abstract

The process of strengthening relations began with President R. Venkataraman’s visit to England in April 1990. R.V. conveyed to the British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher India’s serious concern at Pakistan’s involvement in terrorist activities in Punjab and Kashmir of which incontrovertible proof had been given to the Pakistanis. He also suggested to the British Prime Minister that the absence of an extradition treaty need not come in the way of extradition of terrorists. Mrs. Thatcher also expressed her concern over the upsurge of fundamentalism in the world and was firmly of the view that no country could ever think of negotiating with terrorists who were acquiring more sophisticated techniques and that their challenge must be met by the governments with greater determination and superior techniques.
