Abstract
We are all too aware of the on-again, off-again nature of the Australia-India bilateral relationship. It has become characterized over time by neglect and blame, outcomes of foreign policy differences. Australians with an interest in India have spoken, written about and questioned Australia’s neglect of India over time. In examining the ideas of neglect and blame they may be seen as outcomes of Prime Ministers Menzies’ and Nehru’s failure to relate personally or professionally, and the gulf between their foreign policies, creating a pattern of distrust, even hostility that cast a shadow over the then potential bilateral relationship which persists today.
