Abstract:
Geographically, the Central Asian region is centred on a pocket of relatively flat land bordered by mountain ranges on east and south; and the Caspian Sea on the west. The borders of the region are loosely defined. In this paper, the focus would be on the five former Soviet and now independent states of Kazakhastan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and the term "Central Asia" will be attributed to these states.
Owing to its geographical proximity with Central Asia. India, in the pre partition era had vast cross-regional linkages with this region in terms of trade, culture, etc. These linkages broke during the British occupation of India and revived with Indian independence and the formation of USSR. Later ,with the collapse of USSR and the formation of the Central Asian states, relationship between India and Central Asia took a backseat till recently when India realized that security, stability and prosperity of Central Asia is imperative for peace and economic development of India and is now making efforts to revive ties with the region.
