(web-magazine “Culture. Nation”, issue 32, November 2023, 156-171, http://www.sakavik.net)

Abstract. Some of the most distinctive examples of addressing to the Indian theme by Belarusians and Poles, including representatives of diasporas, when the Belarusian-Polish dialogue takes place, are considered. Contacts between Indianists and Americanists of the two countries are presented primarily by the Gomel correspondence. In the short chronology of important publications from the „Belarusian-Indian Bibliography” most examples are given from the interwar period; Western Belarus exists as a unique zone of „border” ideas that evoke parallels with America. Keywords: Indians, Polish-Belarusian cooperation, correspondence, personalia, publications
