Question

India does not recognise Kosovo as an independent nation.
India was one of the first countries to recognize Belarus as an independent country in 1991 after the break-up of the Soviet Union.
The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is a partially recognised state that claims the non-selfgoverning territory of Western Sahara. While the region maintains diplomatic relations with 40 UN states, the UN has not granted it recognition. Between 1985 and 2000, the African nation was recognised by India, only to be derecognised later. As of 2018, around 85 countries recognise it.
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 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 via 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.
