  • India-Bahrain Relations
    India-Bahrain Relations India-Bahrain Relations India and Bahrain enjoy excellent bilateral relations characterized by cordial political, economic and cultural contacts. Our bilateral Trade and commercial exchanges go back to about 5,000 years ago tracing their origins to the period of Dilmun Civilization in Bahrain to the era of Indus valley civilization in India. Ancient Bahraini traders are believed to have carried out flourishing trade of Bahraini pearls with Indian spices from India. Presence of around 350,000 Indian nationals who comprise a third of Bahrain's total population of 1.4 million is an important anchor of our bilateral relations with Bahrain. Recent visits to India State visit of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa: At the invitation of the then Hon'ble President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the King of the Kingdom of Bahrain paid his first state visit to India from 18-20 February, 2014. HM the King was accompanied by a high-level delegation comprising Ministers, senior officials and business leaders. He was accorded a ceremonial welcome in the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan on 19 February, 2014.

  • Sheikh Qassim, the Bahraini Shi'a, and Iran
    k o No. 4 • July 2012 o l Between Reform and Revolution: Sheikh Qassim, t the Bahraini Shi’a, and Iran u O By Ali Alfoneh The political stability of the small island state of Bahrain—home to the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet—matters to the n United States. And Sheikh Qassim, who simultaneously leads the Bahraini Shi’a majority’s just struggle for a more r democratic society and acts as an agent of the Islamic Republic of Iran, matters to the future of Bahrain. A survey e of the history of Shi’a activism in Bahrain, including Sheikh Qassim’s political life, shows two tendencies: reform and t revolution. Regardless of Sheikh Qassim’s dual roles and the Shi’a protest movement’s periodic ties to the regime in Tehran, the United States should do its utmost to reconcile the rulers and the ruled in Bahrain by defending the s civil rights of the Bahraini Shi’a. This action would not only conform to the United States’ principle of promoting a democracy and human rights abroad, but also help stabilize Bahrain and the broader Persian Gulf region and under- mine the ability of the regime in Tehran to continue to exploit the sectarian conflict in Bahrain in a way that broadens E its sphere of influence and foments anti-Americanism. e Every Friday, the elderly Ayatollah Isa Ahmad The Sunni ruling elites of Bahrain, however, l Qassim al-Dirazi al-Bahrani, more commonly see Sheikh Qassim not as a reformer but as d known as Sheikh Qassim, climbs the stairs to the a zealous revolutionary serving the Islamic pulpit at the Imam al-Sadiq mosque in Diraz, d Bahrain, to deliver his sermon.

  • His Majesty, King of Bahrain Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa P.O. Box 555 Rifa’A Palace Manama, Bahrain 16 November 2018
    His Majesty, King of Bahrain Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa P.O. Box 555 Rifa’a Palace Manama, Bahrain 16 November 2018 Your Majesty, We write you in order to share with you our concerns regarding the upcoming elections for Bahrain’s lower house of parliament, the Council of Representatives, taking place on 24 November. We are deeply concerned about the restrictive political environment in Bahrain, in particular the government’s effective closing of all civil and political space. On 4 November, the Secretary General of Bahrain’s largest dissolved political society, Sheikh Ali Salman, was sentenced to life imprisonment. This sentence raises further concerns that the results will be viewed as unfree, unfair, and illegitimate. To ensure international recognition of election results, we urge you to take all necessary steps to ensure the elections’ credibility, including by releasing political prisoners and allowing the formation of independent civil and political society organisations. Denial of Political Participation In order for the elections to meet international standards of free and fair elections, citizens must be able to organise politically and have the opportunity to support a wide range of candidates running for office. However, your government’s decision to forcibly dissolve all major political opposition groups, including Al-Wefaq and Wa’ad, deprives large sectors of the population of their preferred political associations. Actions taken by your government’s security services – including harassment, intimidation, and arrest – towards smaller political societies like Al- Wahdawi, and high-profile leaders, further marginalised political opposition groups and limit many citizens’ ability to vote for policies they support.
