DESCRIPTION
This monograph seeks to analyse, in brief, the developments that took place in India’s relations with the USSR during 1972-91, the period which coincided with the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent country and the tragic death of Rajiv Gandhi. It was during this period that India’s first nuclear experiment was conducted giving rise to various reactions most of which expressed concern at India’s growing status as a new power in Asia. Two events, the Afghan crisis which continued to keep the peace in the region disturbed for about a decade and the disintegration of the Soviet Union which incidentally followed in the wake of the Afghan crisis, have been given detailed treatment. This would enable the readers to have a proper understanding of how India was going to fare in the context of new world order that was in the offing.
