This book explores a range of connections between India and Australia that develop outside the writ of the two states. It seeks to decentre the nation-state by focussing on a politics drawn from everyday life.

This book was published as a special issue of Postcolonial Studies.

This book explores a range of connections between India and Australia that fall outside the formal diplomacy of the two states. It examines how race, class and gender shape conceptions of the two nations, whose voices are heard and whose are not, and the politics that emerge from sport, culture, the drive for development as well as from language and the poetic. The book seeks to challenge the primacy of the state in determining the character of the nation and its monopoly of relations with other peoples. To this end, it looks to everyday life to find linkages not only between India and Australia but also extending through the South and Southeast Asian regions.
