Keeping India in the Commonwealth: British Political and Military Aims, 1947–49
The Commonwealth was the fount of British power; and it gained strength through the united front it presented to the world. The Indian republic would not owe allegiance to the British Crown, which was the keystone of the Commonwealth, and the King would have no place in the government of India. The Colonial Office thought that India&s;s presence in the Commonwealth would lessen problems with Indian settlers in British colonies, while her secessio…

Diaspora, Political Action, and Identity: A Case Study of Canada’s Indian Diaspora
This article challenges models of diaspora that predominately use categories-based frameworks to show heterogeneity within diasporas. The critique is that these models do not consider the diverse political activity of its members and that, by defining communities based on factors such as religion, region, and language divisions, they eventually render diasporic identities rigid and fixed within these parameters. While we recognize the need to und…
The India-Canada Civilian Nuclear Deal: Implications for Canadian Foreign Policy
Regimes to control weapons of mass destruction have been impressively effective, making nuclear acquisition less simple and significantly more expensive. Yet despite these mechanisms, a few states still find it to their self-defensive, prestigious, or strategic advantage to develop nuclear weapons, regardless of the dramatic international response to these proliferation decisions. India, in 1974 and then again in 1998, made such a decision, testi…

India's relations with Russia and Central Asia
Since the end of the Cold War changed the geopolitical map of the world, Russia and the other successor states of the former Soviet Union have had to establish new international relationships based on complex combinations of interest and advantage. This article examines how India, once both a stalwart of the Non-Aligned Movement and a close trading and military partner of the Soviet Union, has reforged its relationships with Russia and the Centra…
Managing National Diversity through Political Structures and Ideologies: The Soviet Experience in Comparative Perspective
The nationalisms faced by Gorbachev after 1985 were an outcome of Soviet policies, and most of them were not secessionist. Why, then, couldn't the Soviet state accommodate them? This article puts Soviet attempts to manage ethnic diversity into a comparative perspective, and looks at some of the ways in which the ideology and political structures of the USSR contributed to its failure to overcome its ethnic problems. Like other authoritarian state…

Keeping India in the Commonwealth: British Political and Military Aims, 1947-49
On 27 April 1949, the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference in London accepted India's request to allow her to remain in the Commonwealth as a republic. The Indian republic would not owe allegiance to the British Crown, which was the keystone of the Commonwealth, and the King would have no place in the government of India. This settlement marked a break with the Statute of Westminster of 1931, which had declared Commonwealth members to be unit…
Decolonization in India: The Statement of 20 February 1947
the British statement of 20 February 19471 was the first and penultimate occasion that the British government announced a date for the termination of the Raj. India policymakers in Whitehall claimed that the declaration symbolized the fulfilment of 'the policy of successive British governments to work for the realization of self-government in India,' a decision which had been presaged by the Government of India Acts of 191 9 and 1935, the Cripps …
