After a fairly long lull in World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement activity India has become active again. There are at least three disputes involving India before the WTO dispute settlement body. There are several other trade differences that are perceived as potential disputes as India engages with other Members of the WTO community for an early resolution of these differences. While some of these trade differences have already been reported by the media as 'WTO challenges', it is important to put in perspective the nature and type of these trade differences and whether they can culminate in trade disputes. This Comment also seeks to understand the diverse economic and systemic issues these disputes and trade differences have raised.
