Australia and India: Mapping the Journey
1944-2014
Meg Gurry
After six decades characterised by misperception, lack of trust, neglect, missed opportunities and even hostility, a new chapter in India's relations with Australia has begun. —Professor Amitabh Mattoo
Only rarely has India, home to one-sixth of the world's people, forced itself
onto the maps constructed by Australian diplomats and politicians. In this
book, Meg Gurry explores why this is so. Australia and India: Mapping the
Journey 1944-2014 traces the evolution of Australia's role from outpost of a
decolonising British empire and junior member of an American military alliance
to engagement with the Asia-Pacific (without India), and onto partnership
in a newly mapped Indo-Pacific region (with India). The story ends with the
excitement and optimism engendered by the reciprocated prime ministerial
state visits of Tony Abbott and Narendra Modi in 2014, which point, some
argue, to a transformative moment for the bilateral relationship.
Along the way, this study explores the obstacles—personal, political, geopolitical—to deeper relations. Based on years of research, the book provides a detailed study of the roles of key players in Australian diplomacy since the first High…

Along the way, this study explores the obstacles—personal, political, geopolitical—to deeper relations. Based on years of research, the book provides a detailed study of the roles of key players in Australian diplomacy since the first High Commission was opened in New Delhi in 1944. Meg Gurry argues that the Australia-India connection—as well as having its own distinctive bilateral trajectory—can best be explained by locating it within the wider context of Australia's understanding of its regional identity, and by studying the changing maps that reflect the journey.
