This book examines the changing dynamics of the issues between India and China in the wake of extensive globalisation, economic slowdown, the trade wars, Covid 19, Galwan and the undercurrents in the emerging new global order. Providing a comprehensive overview of India–China relationship and the role of the USA in the context of India’s economic and security cooperation in the region, it argues that India–China relations are too complex to be defined through the binary of friendship and enmity, since it includes an element of cooperation, competition, coordination and as well as conflict and confrontation. The book also opens new avenues for research. As such it is of interest to researchers and students of Asian studies, Asian history, China studies, peace and conflict studies and international relations.

This book, part of a two-volume exploration, examines the trajectory of India-China relations, spanning from the making of a common border to the events leading to the 1962 war. Relying on vast Chinese, Indian, as well as western sources, the study provides a detailed exegesis of the nature of conflict covering over a century of political contours in the British India, Manchu China, Republican China and finally the Republic of India and Peoples Republic of China. This includes the British as well as Manchu aggression in Tibet and the ensuing diplomatic manoeuvrability between various stakeholders, resulting in conclusion of various conventions and boundaries including the contentious McMahon Line and shifting line alignments of the Chinese in the Western Sector of India-China border. The domestic socio-political and economic climate as well as the equations that resulted from the Cold War between India and China have been looked into and analysed reflecting the Chinese and well as Indian perspectives. The special case of Sino-Pak entente and India-China rivalry in Asia as a whole has been analysed vis-à-vis their security concerns. B. R.

This book, part of a two-volume exploration, examines the trajectory of Sino-Indian relations, spanning from the aftermath of 1962 war in the Himalayas to the growing rivalries in the Indo-Pacific. It scrutinizes the decade-long diplomatic freeze post-1962, analysing China's propaganda, collusion with Pakistan, and supporting insurgency in India's northeast. It delves into the rebalancing approaches starting from Rajiv Gandhi's pivotal 1988 China visit to finding an equilibrium with China and then losing it after three decades owing to widening asymmetries with China, resulting in the crisis of confidence building and a prolonged military standoff in the Western Sector in the aftermath of the Galwan face off. Furthermore, it explores the Indian choices for finding a new equilibrium with China navigating China's discourse on the Indo-Pacific strategy, India's equations with major powers, and makes enquiries into China's military modernization and implications to India in a complex security environment influenced by internal and external factors, economic considerations, and global power dynamics.

A unique examination of the development of the modern Indian economy over the past 150 years.

The 32-month tryst of the Indian Peace Keeping Force with LTTE in Sri Lanka, between July 1987 and March 1990, was the first out-of-country overseas assignment since independence for the Indian Armed Forces under the national banner. For the soldier who laid down his life and limb, all wars are the same. The ‘IPKF syndrome’ has been casting its long melancholy shadow over decision-makers ever since the withdrawal of this force in 1990. The book recounts real-life accounts of veterans who fought a grim battle, largely forgotten by the mainstream and a thankless establishment. What was the politico-military aim of the government, and was the Indo-SL Accord watertight in its scope? Was timely intelligence shared with the troops who were launched into battle? What were the feelings of the soldier towards the involvement of IPKF fighting someone else’s war? Were the soldiers given their due? What were the tactical errors committed by the IPKF? These issues are highlighted in these interesting and gripping personal accounts of the veterans. “I hate the drums discordant note Parading round and round To thoughtless youth it pleasures yields And lures from city and fields To sell their liberty for charms Of tawdry lace and glittering arms And when ambitions voice commands To march and fight and fall in foreign lands” Ode XIII by John Scott of Amwell, 1730-93
