What is the historical relationship between India and Oman?

Indians have been trading and living in Oman for centuries, with the trading community from Gujarat's Kutch region playing an important role in establishing strong people-to-people connections between the two countries. This relationship has led to significant cultural influence, with Hindi being widely understood in Oman, especially in the capital Muscat, due to the large Indian diaspora. In 2023, India and Oman celebrated 70 years of diplomatic ties, marking the formal establishment of relations between the two nations. During Indian Foreign Minister S.J. Shankar's visit to Oman, a special commemorative logo was released to honor this milestone in their enduring relationship.
