- [India Matters](https://aii.unimelb.edu.au/category/india-matters/) - The India Matters program includes events, policy briefs, expert analysis, publications, reviews, podcasts and interviews on why India matters to Australia and the world. India is important to Australia. The Australia India Institute recognises the vast opportunities presented in Australia getting its relationship with India right. Through engagement with policy-makers, leading experts, analysts and researchers, India Matters provides policy-oriented research, expert analysis and commentary on a range of bilateral issues key to the Australia-India bilateral relationship. The AII’s three broad programs – security & geopolitics, bilateral economy, education and cultural diplomacy – provides a platform for discussion and viewpoints that strives to inform public commentary about Australia-India relations, deepen Australia’s understanding of developments in India, and thereby strengthen Australia’s capacity to develop more effective policies toward India. As part of India Matters, the Australia India Institute has also launched Vichar, a knowledge hub that will feature in-depth analysis and opinion pieces by our fellows and experts, on issues that relate to our three pillars: security and geopolitics, bilateral economy and cultural diplomacy.

- [Vichar](https://aii.unimelb.edu.au/category/india-matters/vichar/) - Vichar is a knowledge hub that provides insightful and in-depth analysis on issues relevant to both Australia and India by experts, thought leaders, and policy makers. It serves as a platform for commentary, debate, and diverse perspectives on contemporary issues, creating awareness, understanding and engagement on our three programs: Security and Geopolitics, Bilateral Economy, and Cultural Diplomacy. In Hindi, Vichar can take on several meanings depending on the context. Generally, ‘Vichar’ refers to an idea, opinion, thought, discussion, reflection or judgement. One might say “Please think (vichar) over it”, or “I like your idea (vichar)”, or “You should reflect (vichar) on this before making a decision”. Vichar aims to provide fresh ideas on the Australia-India relationship as well as encourage and facilitate discussion and debate among the community and Australian public. The views expressed on Vichar are those of the individual authors and don’t represent the views of the Australia India Institute or the institutions to which the authors are attached. Write for Us
