<strong>Common</strong> <strong>Futures</strong>: India and Africa in Partnership chains and feed the most economically dynamic region of the world. Making up for lost time That Africa and India were natural partners and allies was well known to the founding fathers of the Indian Republic; the Bandung Conference sixty years ago was testament to Africa’s place in the Indian worldview. The vagaries of the Cold War, a dismal economy, and a fragmented polity all translated into a situation where India’s commitments to Africa didn’t always translate to concrete improvements in bilateral ties. By and large, India is back on track sixty years later. An Africa whose time has come has also necessitated the much-needed mindset change in New Delhi. The Summit this month is a very significant message to the world that both regions, once united only in problems, can – and will – shape their destinies together. Perhaps more significantly, as some of the fastest growing economies of the world, they can also shape the global governance order. It, then, behoves both regions to stop the search for lost time and, instead, make up for it. The current volume lays out the promises for a renewed partnership and the challenges this partnership must address. 86
