ABSTRACT
The foundation of the phrase “culture” as the nurturing of the soul is how some were raised and how they raise their kids. This has always been so pervasive that it went unnoticed most of the time. On the contrary, socio-cultural factors play a vast role in shaping perception and orienting the policy towards a particular country or the region. Thus, this section aims to investigate the socio-cultural dynamics of India’s relations with Central Asia. While doing so it is divided into four parts. The first parts access the explanatory variables of India’s socio-cultural policy towards Central Asia and then it discusses the intervening variables of India’s socio-cultural policy towards the region. The third and fourth part presents India’s goals, assumptions and instruments of socio-cultural interaction with Central Asia.
