Since its [[2008 Kosovo declaration of independence|declaration of independence]] from [[Serbia]], [[Kosovo]] sought recognition from the major of the world's most influential countries, among them, India. [[India's reaction to the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence|Indian views regarding the developments]] followed initial constringent to comment but dismissed to give recognition of statehood. There are almost negligible interactions.

After India achieved its [[Indian independence movement|independence in 1947]], the country moved to support Palestinian self-determination following the [[Partition of India|partition]] of India. In light of a religious partition between India and Pakistan, the impetus to boost ties with [[Muslim]] states around the world was a further tie to India's support for the [[State of Palestine|Palestinian]] cause. Though it started to waver in the late 1980s and 1990s, as the recognition of Israel led to diplomatic exchanges, the ultimate support for the Palestinian cause, was still an underlying concern.
Beyond the recognition of Palestinian self-determination ties have been largely dependent upon socio-cultural bonds, while economic relations were neither cold nor warm.

India recognised Palestine's statehood following its [[Palestinian Declaration of Independence|declaration]] on 18 November 1988;<ref name="unesdoc.unesco.org"/> although relations were first established in 1974.<ref name="meaindia.nic.in"/>

PNA President Abbas paid a State visit to India in September 2012, during which India pledged $10 million as aid. Indian officials said it was the third such donation, adding that New Delhi was committed to helping other development projects. India also pledged support to Palestine's bid for full and equal membership of the UN.

;Taiwan
{{Main|India–Taiwan relations}}
India recognized the Republic of China (R.O.C) from 1947 to 1950. On 1 April 1950, India officially recognised the People's Republic of China (P.R.C) as "China" and continued to recognise the PRC's "One China" policy in which the island of Taiwan is a part of the Chinese territory. However, the bilateral relations between India and Taiwan have improved since the 1990s despite both nations not maintaining official diplomatic relations. Taiwan and India maintain non-governmental interaction via [[India-Taipei Association]] and Taipei Economic and Cultural Centre respectively. In July 2020, the Indian government appointed a top career diplomat, Joint Secretary Gourangalal Das, the former head of the U.S. division in India's Ministry of External Affairs, as its new envoy to Taiwan.
