India adapted economic reform measures in 1991. In less than two decades, India’s economic reforms have already reached remarkable achievements in many aspects: in infrastructure, industrial and economic development and national living standards have made great progress. In 2003, Goldman Sachs picked India as one of BRIC states, and predicted that India will be one of the most economically promising countries in 21st century. India’s economic and market potential is attracting global focus. This thesis has a four-core analytical framework: “India’s political and economic development, from independence to 1990”, “Political and economic development after 1990’s”, “Opportunities for India’s rising”, “Challenges to India’s rising”, and “Observations on the Taiwan-India political and economic relationship”. In accordance with the three dimensions of "chronological", "political and economic aspects", and "internal and external factors", this thesis will observe and analyze India’s political and economic development, using internal and external factors to assess the opportunities and challenges for India’s rising. In the last part of this thesis, according to the above observations and findings, from a political and economic point of view, observing the evolution of relations between Taiwan and India
