Australia–India relations are foreign relations between Republic of India and Commonwealth of Australia. Before independence Australia and India were both part of the British Empire and as a result share common linguistic ties; both are part of the Commonwealth of Nations. One of the prominent ties is a shared love of cricket which has been controversial recently.
After World War II, the Australian government of Ben Chifley supported the independence of India from the United Kingdom so that it could act as a bulwark against communism.
In 2009 relations were strained between the two nations by the attacks on Indian students, termed "curry bashings", in Australia Police had denied any racial motivation but this was viewed differently by the government in India and students in Australia, leading to high-level meetings with Australian officials. As a result of this, one trade union in India has placed a ban on filming in Australia until the matter is settled by Australia.. Amitabh Bachan also refused to accept an honorary doctorate from an Australian University. There were also calls in the Indian community to apply a travel ban on Australia.
India has conducted a joint naval exercise in Indian Ocean with USA, Japan and Australia and has had bilateral military exchanges with all of these except Australia.. India had almost negotiated a deal to buy Australian uranium during John Howard's term, until the new Australian Labor Party Government barred Australian companies from selling uranium to India creating some tension between the two nations..
