What if Dubai’s history had taken a completely different turn? 👀🇮🇳 Long before the skyscrapers, luxury malls and global business hubs, the Gulf had deep administrative and economic links with British India. The Trucial States were tied to the British system in the Gulf, while the Indian rupee became an important part of everyday commerce in the region.
The most fascinating chapter came after Indian independence, when Britain shifted responsibility for the Gulf from the India Office to the Foreign Office in 1947. Even years later, India’s monetary influence continued through the Gulf Rupee, introduced in 1959 and used across parts of the Gulf until the 1960s.
History is full of connections we rarely hear about—and the story of India and the Gulf is one of them. 🇮🇳🌍
