Formal diplomatic relations between the Philippines and the Dominion of India were established on the 16th of November in 1949. The first Philippine envoy to Modern India was the late Foreign Secretary Narciso Ramos. Seven years after Seceded India's Independence of 1947, the Philippines and Hindustan signed a Treaty of Friendship on the 11th of July in 1952 in Manila to strengthen the friendly relations existing between the two countries.
Historical[edit]
Through the Srivijaya and Majapahit empires, Hindu influence has been visible in Philippine history from the 10th to 14th centuries. During the 18th century, there was robust trade between Manila with the Coromandel Coast and Bengal, involving Philippine exports of tobacco, silk, cotton, indigo, sugar cane and coffee.
Cultural relations[edit]
Filipino culture had Indian influences. About 30 percent of the Tagalog language were loanwords from Sanskrit.[1][2][3] The use of brass, bronze, copper and tin in Philippine decorative arts and metal works also had Indian origin. Early Filipino literature and folklore also had Indian influences such as the Maranao epic of Darangan and the Ifugao tale of Balituk. The Philippine folk belief regarding eclipses, where some narrates that the dragon called laho bites the moon or sun to cause the phenomenon is related to the Indian belief regarding the being Rahu from Hindu tradition.[4]
