Analysis of Malaysia-India Diplomatic Relations from the Era of Tunku Abdul Rahman to the Era of Najib Tun Razak
Abstract
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the development of Malaysia-India diplomatic relations from the era of Tunku Abdul Rahman to the era of Najib Tun Razak by focusing its analysis on political, economic, and social issues that occur throughout the current bilateral relations, as well as assess the implications of these issues on the development of Malaysia. By using a qualitative method design that is a historical study through primary document analysis instruments such as newspapers, leader speech texts, and secondary sources, the study finds that the evolution of Malaysia-India bilateral relations is seen in three different phases, namely: the first phase (1957 - 1970) was known as the conflict phase, the second phase (1970 - 2000) can be classified as the recovery phase and the third phase was seen as the development phase (2000– 2010). Malaysia-India relations are not only based on trade and economy, but more on a friendly relationship based on mutual benefits. Although there were political, economic and social that posed a security threat to Malaysia, these issues did not affect the good relationship between the two countries without any armed conflict or prolonged crisis. Therefore, this study concludes that the Malaysia-India bilateral relationship will remain strong and grow in the future with active involvement in various aspects of economic, political, defense and cultural and societal exchange.

Abstrak: Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perkembangan hubungan diplomatik Malaysia-India dari Era Tunku Abdul Rahman sehingga ke era Najib Tun Razak dengan memfokuskan analisisnya kepada isu-isu politik, ekonomi dan sosial yang berlaku sepanjang berlangsungnya hubungan dua hala pada waktu ini serta menilai implikasi isu-isu ini terhadap pembangunan Malaysia. Dengan menggunakan reka bentuk kaedah kualitatif iaitu kajian sejarah menerusi instrumen analisis dokumen primer seperti akhbar, teks ucapan pemimpin serta sumber sekunder, hasil kajian mendapati bahawa evolusi perkembangan hubungan bilateral Malaysia-India dalam dilihat dalam tiga fasa berbeza, iaitu; fasa pertama (1957 – 1970) dikenali sebagai fasa konflik, fasa kedua pula (1970 – 2000) boleh dikelaskan sebagai fasa pemulihan dan fasa ketiga dilihat sebagai fasa perkembangan (2000– 2010). Hubungan Malaysia-India bukan hanya berlandaskan perdagangan dan ekonomi, tetapi lebih kepada hubungan pesahabatan atas dasar saling melengkapi demi kepentingan bersama. Walaupun terdapat juga isu-isu politik, ekonomi dan sosial yang memberi ancaman keselamatan kepada Malaysia, namun isu-isu ini tidak menjejaskan hubungan baik antara dua negara ini tanpa wujud sebarang konflik bersenjata atau krisis yang berlanjutan. Oleh itu, kajian ini merumuskan bahawa hubungan dua hala Malaysia-India ini akan kekal kukuh dan berkembang pada masa depan dengan penglibatan aktif dalam pelbagai aspek ekonomi, politik, pertahanan dan pertukaran budaya dan masyarakat.
