India's rise as a global power has profoundly transformed both its domestic and international roles, creating unique opportunities to explore the intersections of national ideologies, multiculturalism, and emerging partnerships. The conference seeks to investigate on how India's socio-political changes, rooted in its multi-ethnic and multicultural fabric, influence its domestic policies and international relations.In 7-8 May 2025 we aim to analyze the impact of India's ascent on global geopolitics, particularly regarding its evolving relationships with smaller states like Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
Key topics for discussion include:
India and the Baltics in Global Geopolitics: How do the Baltic states engage with India within the European Union’s Indo-Pacific strategy, and how might the upcoming India-EU Free Trade Agreement strengthen economic ties?
Technology and Trade: What opportunities exist for partnerships in digital governance, pharmaceuticals, and renewable energy? How can Estonia’s digital leadership complement India’s initiatives?
Cultural and Historical Connections: How do shared Indo-European roots and the contemporary exchange of Indian cultural practices enhance cross-cultural understanding?
National Ideologies and Multiculturalism: How has India’s policy of multiculturalism evolved, and what lessons can be learned for broader global contexts?
Geopolitical Challenges: How do India’s relationships with Russia and its non-aligned stance on the Ukraine war affect its engagement with the Baltics and the European Union?
Organised by Asia Center & The Center for Oriental Studies, University of Tartu, in collaboration with The Embassy of India, Tallinn.
