Europe–India relations require more than trade agreements, institutions, and policy frameworks. They also require a deeper understanding of history, identity, public sentiment, and cultural sensitivity. In his latest opinion piece, our Founder & Chairman Sujit.S.NAIR ., M.Sc, M.B.A, FRSA reflects on why certain international narratives and perceptions are often interpreted very differently within India. He explores how historical memory and national dignity continue to shape public sentiment and influence the way many ordinary Indians respond to global discourse even today.
