Hey!!!

Here is your answer___________


India and Korea have been historically friends with one another. The mutual relations dates back to atleast two thousand years.

In the ancient times, Buddhism was the bedrock of relationship between the Korea and India. Buddhism was introduced to Korea in the second half of fourth century and Koguryo was the first among the three kingdoms of Korea, which received Buddhism. During the reign of Kim Sosurim (371-384), Buddhism was officially recognized in Korea. Supposedly, Buddhism reached from India to Korea via China.

However, there are some theories to suggest that Buddhism reached to Korea directly from India. There is mention of advent of three Indian monks in Korea during the reign of Kim Chik-pyong (579- 631) in the book of Taisho named Haedong-kosung-chon or the Biography of Eminent Monks of Korea.

The legend of princess Ho of Karak, an ancient Korean kingdom, depicted in Samgukyusa (a historical book of the three kingdoms) in the first century AD also considered to be an important chapter in the inter-Korean relations in the ancient time. According to legend, Kim Suro of Kimhae faction married to 16 year old princess from the ‘Ahyuta’ (which was most probably the capital of the ancient Indian kingdom Kosala, Ayodhya). After marrying, king and queen lived happily for around one and half century and had 10 sons and 2 daughters. The second and third sons adopted the mother’s surname Ho (or Huh). When Kim Suro found princess Ho at the Southwest coast of the Korean peninsula, she was accompanied by ‘more than a score of attendants and servants.’4 She also brought with her a pagoda and Buddha statue to Korea. There are some archaeological evidences which prove that the ‘double-fish’ pattern discovered inside the mausoleum of Kim Suro were also prevalent during the same time in central India. There could be debate about the authenticity of the legend, but there could not be denial of the fact that Korea belief that the princess Ho Hwangok came from Ayut’a is significant enough to consider that India has a place in the mental map of Korea during that period.

The political and economic ties between the two countries have been further strengthened by the Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam’s visit to Korea in February 2006. Korea and India have agreed to establish a Joint Task Force during the Indian President’s visit and it would develop a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the two countries by 2007 and take the economic relationship between the two countries at a higher level. Two other agreements on the matters related to science and technology as well as custom duties have been also signed between the two countries.
