Japan-India Association

The Japan–India Association (日印協会, Nichi In Kyōkai) is a foundation headquartered in the Suzuko Building (スズコービル Suzukō biru) in Nihonbashi, Chuo, Tokyo.[1]

History

It was established in 1903 by former Prime Minister Shigenobu Ōkuma, Viscount Moriyoshi Nagaoka, Viscount Eiichi Shibusawa and others to encourage India-Japan friendship. The association has contributed to the improvement of India-Japan relations since the establishment.

In 1939, the association was authorized as a foundation by Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During WW2, the association supported the Indian independence movement. The war ended, the association was disbanded by Allied Forces for the reason of having supported the Indian independence movement. In 1947, India gained her Independence, the association restored activities by changing their name to Japan–India Economic Association.

In 1952, the year of regaining sovereignty, the association restored the association's name to Japan–India Association and expanded activities to different cultures. The association's activities are expanded from year to year.

The current president is former Prime Minister Yoshirō Mori.

gollark: The main interesting properties lasers have are, also very roughly, that they produce light which can be focused very well and which has very precise/specific frequencies.
gollark: Laser diodes are just things which do that using semiconductors, somewhat like LEDs, and are powered by electricity.
gollark: No. Someone with more physics knowledge could answer better than me, but, very approximately: "laser" stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation", and describes a specific way to generate light through some magic process using a "gain medium" and optical feedback thing.
