Description
This book takes readers on an interesting and unique journey that sheds light on the multifaceted relationship between the UAE and India. The author, Venu Rajamony, was the Consul General of India in Dubai from 2007 to 2010, during which time relations between India and the UAE witnessed remarkable developments. HH Sheikh Mohamed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, UAE Vice-President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, states in the preface: “…Tradesmen in both countries have played a significant role in building cultural, social and commercial bridges between their peoples. Such developments have placed India at the forefront of commercial and industrial exchange with the UAE, in addition to other non-petroleum industries.” The 267-page book contains five chapters: a historical review of the long-standing relations between India and the UAE; the scope of their political relations; a comprehensive review of economic activity; relations in the fields of health and education; and finally, on the people in both India and the UAE. India and the UAE: In Celebration of a Legendary Friendship is supported with scores of pictures, illustrations, maps and tables collected by the author from various sources, including the National Archives (NA).
