In March 1962, [[Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis|Jacqueline Kennedy]] embarked on a [[Cultural diplomacy|goodwill tour]] of India and Pakistan, serving in an unofficial diplomatic capacity. While media attention largely focused on her fashion and public image, the visit also marked a deepening of her engagement with the arts and architecture of the region. In subsequent years, she returned to India to co-produce a publication on [[Indian art]].

Accompanied by her sister [[Lee Radziwill]], and as guest of U.S. ambassador to India [[John Kenneth Galbraith]], Kennedy arrived in [[New Delhi]] on 12 March on an [[Air India]] flight. She spent time with Prime Minister [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] before visiting [[Fatehpur Sikri]], [[Agra]], [[Varanasi]], [[Udaipur]] and [[Jaipur]]. On 21 March, Kennedy left India to begin a five day tour in Pakistan, where she was greeted by President [[Ayub Khan]].

American magazine ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' estimated Kennedy wore 22 different outfits during her first nine days in India. The goodwill tour likely influenced some of Kennedy's later [[sari-inspired dress|sari-like gowns]]. Some criticism was made of Kennedy being kept away from [[Poverty in India|India's poverty]], but the whole tour was generally aired favourably by the press. In 2019, her sister's personal photo albums of the trip went on auction at [[Christie's]], New York.

==Fashion style==
Kennedy's fashion style, which she preferred not to talk about, was a regular topic of discussion in the media by the time of her India and Pakistan tour.<ref name=Brown2012/> It was not her intention to have her wardrobe a focus of attention.<ref name=Brown2012/> Worried about the response to her expensive wardrobe, she jokingly told her press secretary that "if you say anything, tell them it's secondhand and that I bought everything at the [[Ritz Thrift Shop]]".<ref name=Brown2012/>

Working for the ''[[Chicago Daily News]]'', [[Keyes Beech]] was one of the foreign correspondents who covered what they called Kennedy's "glorified fashion show".<ref name=Braden1962/> ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' magazine estimated that during the India trip alone, she wore 22 different outfits, some designed by [[Tiger Morse|Joan "Tiger" Morse]].<ref name="Green2020">{{cite web |last1=Green |first1=Cynthia |title=Of Jackie Kennedy's India Spiked Wardrobe |url=https://thevoiceoffashion.com/intersections/famous-wardrobes-then-and-now/of-jackie-kennedys-india-spiked-wardrobe-3500 |website=thevoiceoffashion.com |access-date=5 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220405155534/https://thevoiceoffashion.com/intersections/famous-wardrobes-then-and-now/of-jackie-kennedys-india-spiked-wardrobe-3500 |archive-date=5 April 2022 |language=en |date=20 January 2020}}</ref><ref name="Chrisman2019">{{cite book |last1=Chrisman-Campbell |first1=Kimberly |title=Worn on This Day: The Clothes That Made History |date=2019 |publisher=Running Press |isbn=978-0-7624-9358-6 |page=121 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WrSXDwAAQBAJ&dq=jacquelin+kennedy%27s+nine+day+goodwill+india&pg=PT121 |language=en}}</ref> When she visited the [[Taj Mahal]], she was photographed in a Morse designed [[Blue and green cotton shift dress of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy|green and blue floral-print cotton shift dress]].<ref name="Chrisman2019"/><ref name=Mirzoeff1999>{{cite book |last1=Mirzoeff |first1=Nicholas |title=An Introduction to Visual Culture |date=1999 |publisher=Routledge |location=London |isbn=0-203-20046-2 |pages=230–231 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hhajBE0mUfwC&dq=jacqueline+kennedy+taj+mahal&pg=PA230 |language=en |chapter=7.

==Response==
''Life'' dedicated several pages to the trip, the national press detailed every outfit both the sisters wore, and ''[[Newsweek]]'' gave the tour a mention as a "smash hit".<ref name="Dawson2009"/> ''Elle Magazine'' hired [[Jacqueline Duheme]] to document the trip in a series of miniature watercolours.<ref name="Dawson2009"/> ''LIFE'' reported that despite smaller crowds than others such as the Queen had attracted, “she [nevertheless] conducted herself magnificently.<ref name="Life"/> It also reported that "days after she had gone people still called her "America Rani, Queen of America".<ref name=Mirzoeff1999/> "Her every seam has been the subject of hypnotized attention from the streets of Delhi to the Khyber Pass", the journalist Anne Chamberlin reported.<ref name="Life"/> Fashion historian [[Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell]] included the dress worn outside the Taj Mahal in her 2019 book ''Worn on This Day: The Clothes That Made History''.<ref name="Chrisman2019"/> Kennedy herself described the tour as "a dream".<ref name="Life"/> Criticism did appear in the Indian Press, who argued that Kennedy had not been exposed to poverty in India.<ref name=Nehru2012p.438/> Biographer [[Barbara Leaming]], noted that Kennedy's success in India added pressure to do likewise in Pakistan, and her five days there received a favourable response in the media.<ref name="Leaming2002"/> The ''New York Times'' columnist [[Charlotte Curtis]] credited the success as due to what in her opinion Kennedy stood for... "foreign languages and an effort to understand foreign people in a country that tends to think it is the only country and that English is the only language."<ref name="Walton2013"/> The detail to her fashion style in news reports often diverted attention from the initial purpose of the visit.<ref name=Brown2012/>

According to biographer Tina Santi Flaherty, "Kennedy was taken by the way the sari was draped".<ref name="Green2020"/> Her visit to India likely influenced some of her later outfits.<ref name="Green2020"/> She had bought back several saris with the intention to make them into dresses and upon her return to the US had for a short while popularised the sari and inspired several designers including [[Wesley Tann]] to design sari-inspired dresses.<ref name=Deihl2021>{{cite book |last1=Deihl |first1=Nancy |editor1-last=Way |editor1-first=Elizabeth |title=Black Designers in American Fashion |date=2021 |publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing |location=Bloomsbury, London |isbn=978-1-350-13846-9 |pages=134–150 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vA8oEAAAQBAJ&q=Wesley+tann&pg=PA133 |language=en |chapter=7.
