Taiwan, India will remember AbeBy Sana Hashmi 胡莎娜Former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated in Nara, Japan, on July 8. As an Indian living in Taiwan whose work is deeply influenced by Abe’s policies on India and Taiwan, I understand why there are striking similarities between the responses of Indians and Taiwanese to his passing. Abe became more vocal on Taiwan after stepping down as prime minister in 2020. In India, Abe was well-known and respected. Abe believed in India and encouraged its leadership to play a greater role when the West was hardly paying attention to the country.
