India shares a multi-dimensional relationship with the Federal Republic of Germany. Germany is India's largest trading partner within the European Union, and is also a major source and destination of foreign direct investment, a significant donor, and an important source of technology.

Drawing on English and German language source material, this book covers the evolution and expansion of India’s economic, political, defence, and scientific-technological ties with Germany from 1947 to the present day. It analyses mutual perceptions, highlights the elements of convergence and divergence, and discusses the challenges and prospects of this relationship in a world marked by geopolitical uncertainty.
