However, ties with Britain have lagged because of the following reasons,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>First<\/strong>, mistrust between the two countries owing to the <strong>colonial legacy<\/strong>. The bitter experience of the Partition and Britain\u2019s perceived tilt to Pakistan have hampered India-U. K relation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Second, <\/strong>the British Labour Party\u2019s growing political negativity towards India. For instance,\n<ul>\n<li>Supporting for <strong>self-determination<\/strong> for Kashmiris.<\/li>\n<li>Criticism of government over recent <strong>farmers\u2019 agitation.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>What are the possible areas of convergence for mutual development?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>India and Britain need each other to achieve their larger goals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Firstly, Cooperation in the health sector. Bilateral strategic cooperation in the health sector<\/strong> can help India to benefit from the enormous potential of U.K in public health sector.\n<ul>\n<li>Further, both nations should work towards building a resilient medical supply chain\u00a0to control the global Pandemic.<\/li>\n<li>Britain along with the G-7 countries can help transform India\u2019s internal capabilities in the Health sector.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Secondly, building new global economic partnerships. <\/strong>Since both the countries have moved away from their regional blocs (<strong>India-RCEP, Britain-EU<\/strong>) a new economic partnership will benefit both the nations immensely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thirdly, cooperation in geopolitical issues. For instance, <\/strong>Britain is tilting to the Indo-Pacific, where India is a natural ally. Whereas, India needs a wider coalition as possible to balance aggressive China.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fourthly, Cooperation in mitigation of Climate change<\/strong>. The U.K Can support India for the adoption of a Clean mechanism and e-mobility in the transport sector.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fifthly, cooperation in labour movement<\/strong>. Agreement on \u201cmigration and mobility\u201d to facilitate the legal movement of Indians into Britain can benefit India\u2019s skilled workforce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/opinion\/columns\/narendra-modi-boris-johnson-digital-conversation-covid-crisis-india-uk-relations-7300826\/\">Indian Express<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis:\u00a0 Through this article, we will discuss the contentious issue hampering India-UK relations as well as possible opportunities of convergence for mutual development.
