The methodology includes elements of classical political economy, neoMarxism and historical sociology. The author rst provides a brief outline of the history of Gujarat, and then analyzes the role of intellectual elites in shaping the foundations of India’s external policy. The author argues that a new type of intellectual has emerged at the top of the Indian intelligentsia: a historian and strategist who knows the past and can predict the future. This contributed to the establishment of complex relationships between the academic community and the ruling class, as well as the academic community acquiring a distinct role that transcends that of mere servants of the political elites, a position that has traditionally been occupied by experts. Academics lay the historical and philosophical foundation for building foreign policy. Using the example of ‘maritime Gujarat,’ the author illustrates the mechanism of interaction between politicians and academics. The author identi es several stages in the development of the ‘Gujarat narrative,’ linking them to the transformation of Indian external policy imperatives, and analyzes the role of individual scholars and schools. In conclusion, the author highlights the key features that characterize the relationship between the Indian academic and political elites, and suggests using the existing historical groundwork to include the topic of historical interaction between India and Russia within the ‘Gujarat narrative’ framework.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Проанализирован вклад академического сообщества Индии в формирование так называемого «гуджаратского нарратива» - транслируемого политическими элитами Индии представления об особой роли, которую штат Гуджарат исторически играл в развитии экономических связей политий Индостана с остальным миром, и о специфическом месте Гуджарата в регионе Индийского океана в целом. На основе методологии, сочетающей в себе элементы классической политэкономии, неомарксизма и исторической социологии, приведен краткий очерк истории Гуджарата в контексте развития его бизнес-сообществ, выявлена роль индийских интеллектуальных элит в формировании основ внешней политики страны. Утверждается, что в силу особенностей генезиса индийского правящего слоя среди верхушки интеллигенции сложился тип «стратега-историка-интеллектуала», равно сведущего в проблемах прошлого и в прогнозировании будущего. Это, в свою очередь, привело к тесному вовлечению в деятельность правящего класса академического сообщества, которое не просто играет роль интеллектуальной обслуги политических элит, но формирует историко-философский фундамент, на котором выстраивается внешняя политика государства, реагируя на изменения в мировой политике и тенденции в общественных отношениях. При этом индийские академические элиты находятся в постоянном контакте со своими иностранными коллегами. На примере формирования одной из частей «гуджаратского нарратива», а именно концепции «морского Гуджарата», продемонстрировано, как именно происходит взаимодействие политических и академических элит. Выделено несколько этапов развития «гуджаратского нарратива» в контексте трансформации индийских внешнеполитических императивов, и показано, какую роль сыграли отдельные ученые и научные школы в создании исторического базиса для реализации внешней политики Индии. В заключении выявлены основные особенности, характеризующие отношения индийских академических и политических элит, и предложено использовать имеющийся исторический задел для того, чтобы включить тему исторического взаимодействия Индии и России в рамки «гуджаратского нарратива».</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"/><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>India</kwd><kwd>Gujarat</kwd><kwd>Indian Ocean</kwd><kwd>Narendra Modi</kwd><kwd>elite theory</kwd><kwd>political economy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Индия</kwd><kwd>Гуджарат</kwd><kwd>Индийский океан</kwd><kwd>Нарендра Моди</kwd><kwd>теория элит</kwd><kwd>политическая экономия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Alpers, E. A., &amp; Goswami, Ch.
