Australia’s Pivot to India

**A thoroughly absorbing, must-read examination of why Australia’s relationship with India might hold the key to our future, by federal MP Andrew Charlton** ‘A powerful declaration for the shared future between Australia and India’-Penny Wong The time has come for Australia and India to forge closer ties – and reap the benefits. But will Australia seize the opportunity? India is on the rise to become the next global superpower, with a population expected to be larger than the United States and China combined by 2050. For Australia, as the world grows more volatile, India has emerged as a new geopolitical partner offering hope for a more secure and balanced Indo-Pacific region. Australian cities are full of thriving ‘Little Indias’ created by a rapidly growing Indian diaspora estimated to become the largest migrant group in the nation in just over two decades. In *Australia’s* *Pivot to India* , Andrew Charlton provides an authoritative analysis of Australia’s relationship with India, explains why now is the time to seize the opportunity for collaboration and cooperation, and outlines a vision for the Australia-India partnership that will enhance Australia’s security and prosperity in the twenty-first century. He argues that both Indians and Australians have an outdated view of each other, trapped in decades-old stereotypes and misunderstandings. Lively, thought-provoking and timely, *Australia’s Pivot to India* is the go-to source for anyone interested in Australia-India relations, India’s role in reshaping the global order and the impact this will have on Australia’s future.
