Conflicting Visions

In 1974, India shocked the world by detonating a nuclear device. In the diplomatic controversy that ensued, the Canadian government expressed outrage that India had extracted plutonium from a Canadian reactor donated only for peaceful purposes. In the aftermath, relations between the two nations cooled considerably.
As Conflicting Visions reveals, Canada and India’s relationship was turbulent long before the first bomb blast. From the time of India’s independence from Britain, Ottawa sought to build bridges between Indian and the West through dialogue and foreign aid. New Delhi, however, had a different vision for its future, and throughout the Cold War mistrust between the two nations deepened.
Ryan Touhey draws on archival records, personal papers, and interviews from Canada, India, the United States, and Britain to trace the breakdown of this complicated bilateral relationship. In the process, he deepens our understanding of the history of Canadian foreign aid and international relations during the Cold War.
Ryan Touhey is an associate professor of history at St. Jerome’s University (University of Waterloo), where he teaches courses on the history of Canadian foreign relations, Canadian political history, and modern South Asia. Focusing on post-1939 Canadian foreign relations, his current research examines Canadian efforts to develop public diplomacy programs in the early Cold War. He has published on Canada's foreign relations with South Asia in International Journal, the Canadian Historical Review, and the Canadian International Council. He has been a frequent commentator on Canada-India relations on Radio Canada International, in the Globe and Mail, and in India Abroad.
