Embassy of India Ankara Embassy of India Ankara India-Turkey Relations Executive Summary: India-Turkey bilateral relations have been traditionally friendly, cordial and have been influenced by several factors. There are deep historical connections between India and Turkey. The first exchange of diplomatic missions between Ottoman Sultan and the Muslim rulers of the sub-continent dates back to the years 1481-82. However, after the 16th century, Ottoman relations with India became infrequent and of relatively minor importance since the two great Sunni Muslim rulers were too remote to be of interest to one another either as allies or as rivals. India and Turkey have a great cultural overlap. The Turkic impact on India in areas such as culture and civilization, art and architecture and costumes and cuisine was considerable. For example, the Ottoman Architect Mimar Yusuf, disciple of the great Mimar Sinan went to India and entered the service of Akbar. He is reputed to have had some hand in the buildings in Agra and Delhi. The names of one of India’s great languages, Urdu, can be traced to the Turkish language. The Sufi philosophy of Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi found a natural resonance in the Indian sub-continent with its own traditions of Sufism and the Bhakti movement. More recent historical contacts between India and Turkey were reflected in the medical mission led by renowned Indian freedom fighter, Dr. M.A. Ansari, to Turkey in 1912 during the Balkan Wars. One of his companions, Abdur Rahman stayed on in Turkey and was later Kemal Ataturk’s envoy to Kabul. India also extended support in 1920s to Turkey’s War of Independence and formation of the republic. An amount of 106,400 British Pounds were sent by India which was used for emergency needs of the Turkish army, for reconstruction of the city of Izmir (after it was burnt down by the Greek army), formation of the Iş Bank and for buying land and developing food and beverage factories on the forest farm of Ataturk. Turkey and India are both secular democracies, based on ethnic, religious and linguistic plurality, although the ruling AK Party government has been criticised especially since its June 2011 electoral victory for several moves that are taking Turkey away from the path of secularism and democracy. Having a Customs Union with EU, Turkey can be a bridgehead for Indian exports to Europe through Turkey. India and Turkey have a great potential for economic and commercial interactions with the success of market reforms on both sides. There are opportunities in sectors like energy, infrastructure, services as well as science and technology. As members of the G-20, both countries have a role to play in the international economic processes. India and Turkey have a shared interest in the stability and security of Afghanistan and Central Asia. In the light of the above, the possibility of improving relations between India and Turkey are good, particularly with India’s emergence as a major power with considerable influence on the world scene. India’s impressive economic growth and nuclear status have also attracted Turkish 1 attention. Turkey has begun to view India as possible source of high technology and a useful economic partner.

Under Mamata Banerjee’s regime, unrest and distrust defines and dominates the atmosphere in the state. There is a no sphere, be it political, social or religious which is today free from violence and instability. It is well known that from this very land of Bengal, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore had given the message of peace and unity to the whole world by establishing Visva Bharati at Santiniketan.

  • Indian National Congress Sessions
    Indian National Congress Sessions INC sessions led the course of many national movements as well as reforms in India. Consequently, the resolutions passed in the INC sessions reflected in the political reforms brought about by the British government in India. Although the INC went through a major split in 1907, its leaders reconciled on their differences soon after to give shape to the emerging face of Independent India. Here is a list of all the Indian National Congress sessions along with important facts about them. This list will help you prepare better for SBI PO, SBI Clerk, IBPS Clerk, IBPS PO, etc. Indian National Congress Sessions During the British rule in India, the Indian National Congress (INC) became a shiny ray of hope for Indians. It instantly overshadowed all the other political associations established prior to it with its very first meeting. Gradually, Indians from all walks of life joined the INC, therefore making it the biggest political organization of its time. Most exam Boards consider the Indian National Congress Sessions extremely noteworthy. This is mainly because these sessions played a great role in laying down the foundational stone of Indian polity. Given below is the list of Indian National Congress Sessions in chronological order. Apart from the locations of various sessions, make sure you also note important facts pertaining to them.

    an> Title: Introduction of the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2015. HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Now, we are taking up Item No.13. After that, we will resume the discussion. THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI JAYANT SINHA): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move for leave to introduce a Bill further to amend the Insurance Act, 1938 and General Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Act, 1972 and to amend the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999. HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Motion moved: "That leave be granted to introduce a Bill further to amend the Insurance Act, 1938 and General Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Act, 1972 and to amend the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999. " ...(Interruptions) HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: I have received notices. I will call each one. Please take your seat. Now, Shri P. Karunakaran. SHRI P. KARUNAKARAN (KASARGOD): Sir, I rise to strongly oppose the introduction of the Bill under Rule 72(1). The reason for my objection is that the Bill is pending before the Rajya Sabha now. According to the Rules of Procedure either in the Lok Sabha or in the Rajya Sabha, if a Bill is placed before the Lok Sabha, it has to be passed. Then it goes to the Rajya Sabha. That is true in the case of Rajya Sabha also. So, the Bill is pending before the Rajya Sabha; it is not defeated; it is not deferred and it is also not withdrawn. We have not got any message from the Rajya Sabha. Of course, the Secretary-General has to give the message as to what is its position in the Rajya Sabha.
