| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The national movements of China and India took divergent paths and the chasm grew wider over the years. After a brief spell of bonhomie in the beginning, the relations between the two countries have been bedevilled for long by three factors, viz. the relentless suppression of the Tibetan autonomy by the Chinese, its obdurate claims on the border issue and its deliberate policy of encouraging Pakistan to undercut India's stature in regional and world politics. As for the future, it may be fair to say that the two Asian powerhouses cannot be friends, nor need they be enemies. There would be areas of engagement in the new sense of the term and areas of discord. Harmonizing Indian nationalism and Chinese nationalism would be the test of statesmanship in both countries. As there is no immediate challenge from China, India would be well advised to continue engaging China with a measure of caution and vigil. |
