Explanation:
India-Israel relations reflect bilateral relations between India and Israel. [1] Till 1992, there was no relationship between India and Israel. There were mainly two reasons for this: first, India was a non-aligned nation that was a supporter of the former Soviet Union and did not recognize Israel like the other non-aligned nations. The second main reason was that India was a supporter of Palestine's independence.
Even in 1947, India created an organization called United Nations Palestine (Unscope), but the controversy in Kashmir in 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union and Pakistan's illegal infiltration led to a change in the political environment and India changed its mind and emphasized on strengthening relations with Israel and a new era began in 1992.
As soon as the BJP came to power after the defeat of the Indian National Congress, cooperation between India and Israel increased and the relationship between India and Israel deepened due to the same mindset of the two political parties towards Islamic fundamentalism and the pro-Jewish policy in the Middle East. Today, Israel is India's largest military assistant and exporter after Russia.
With the increase in terrorism in India and Israel, relations between India and Israel also strengthened. So far, India has launched about 8 Israeli military satellites through the Indian Space Research Organisation.
