      abstract = {This book explores the transformation of Indias relations  with Central and Eastern Europe from being a subset of  Indo-Soviet relations during the Cold War to the  rediscovery and rebuilding of relations with the region  almost from scratch in the post-Cold War era. It examines  how the combination of Brexit, the rise of China and Indias  expanding geo-economic interests in Europe has led the  Narendra Modi government to contemplate relations with  Central Europe through a more strategic lens and treat the  region as an autonomous element within Indias foreign  policy rather than a footnote of its relations with other  great powers. Fulfilling a long-felt gap in existing  literature, this volume examines Indias political,  economic, investment, defence and cultural relations with  the Visegrad Four (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and  Slovakia). It analyzes Indian perceptions of Central Europe  and explores prospects of New Delhis political and economic  engagement with the region. The painstakingly compiled  appendices on the exchange of bilateral visits and  agreements between India and the Visegrad Four would be of  immense use as a handy reference to scholars,  policy-makers, and other interested persons and  institutions.
