Migrants will take India-Australia ties beyond commonwealth, cricket and curry in future: Professor Pradeep Taneja

Professor Pradeep Taneja, Academic Fellow at Australia India Institute and Senior Lecturer at the University of Melbourne, says the 700,00-strong Indian diaspora will play a crucial role in strengthening ties between Indian and Australia in future. Professor Taneja explains the current Australia-India relations after Treasurer Josh Frydenberg on Thursday announced $36 million for expanding Australia's diplomatic presence in India's southern city of Bengaluru.
