Kazakhstan-India Relation: Challenges and Prospectus

Abstract

This paper focuses particularly on Kazakhstan-India relations. Kazakhstan is celebrating its 25th anniversary of the state independence and sovereignty and this 25th anniversary is an excellent occasion to stare at how Kazakhstan-India relation is structuring since 1991. It is a known fact that historically, present day Kazakhstan is the result of centuries-long emerging and fading of tribes in the vast steppe between the Altai and Volga. The economic restructuring efforts undertaken by Kazakhstan after its independence were also accompanied by various reforms in the political arena. Kazakhstan became a constitutional republic with a strong accent on the principles of national identity and political stability. Distinct from other Central Asian countries, Kazakhstan is now constant both politically and socially due to its enormous political direction. In this context this paper deliberates the prospectus and challenges in Kazakhstan- India relation.
