India, to Pakistanis of both wings, was the greatest threat to their security, and a generation of Bengalis in East Pakistan had grown up on a diet of mistrust and hostility towards India.
India deferred to the wishes of the Bangladesh government on this point but expressed the view that the border trade was essential to the economic well-being of a large number of people on both sides of the border.

The early history of radio broadcasting in independent India is important because it set the parameters for the subsequent role of television in the country.
However, television in India was still a modest enterprise with most parts of the country getting just one channel except for the major cities which received two channels.
The number of hours of television programming produced in India has increased 500% from 1991 to 1996 and is expected to grow at an ever faster rate until the year 2000.

 CNN.com - India plans moon mission 'by 2007' - August 13, 2002
India's space program has been running since 1972, but a mission to the moon would be its first venture into deep space.
Critics of India's lunar ambitions say any such mission would have only limited scientific value and be a waste of cash on a mission primarily designed just to boost national prestige.
India insists its space program is purely for civilian interests, but defense experts say that developments in Indian rocket technology are also likely to help the military in its goal of producing a homegrown intercontinental ballistic missile.

The key document guiding relations with India is the Treaty of Friendship Between the Government of India and the Government of Bhutan of 1949.
In 1960 the Druk Gyalpo had said that Bhutan was not 100 percent independent because of the 1949 treaty, and until Bhutan emerged into the world of international diplomacy by joining the UN in 1971, Article 2 of the treaty seemed intact.
Bhutan had raised its representation in India to the ambassadorial level in 1971 and in 1978 changed the name of its diplomatic office in New Delhi from the Royal Bhutan Mission to the Royal Bhutan Embassy to further reflect its sovereign status.
