Over a decade has passed since India’s rise was popularized in books such as The World Is Flat and the report Dreaming with the BRICs.

Spring 2016 marked the two-year anniversary of Prime Minister Modi’s ascent to power. The pressure to deliver on his promises of significant policy reforms continues to grow.

Canada’s engagement with India has intensified over the last decade with the launch of negotiations over freer trade and closer bilateral relations.

Learn about long term implications for Canada due to the intersection of India’s economic reforms and its increasingly important and strategic role in world affairs.
