Kalapani-Lipulekh Row: Rift between India and China Serves Nepal / Kochhar, Geeta   Journal Article
Kochhar, Geeta Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Recently Nepal is in uproar against India and anti-India sentiments are rising. This will eventually have lasting effect on bilateral relations. The main causes of this are both, internal political turmoil and the external factors. However, the crucial aspect also lies in Nepal using the ‘China card’ all along in its diplomacy that is now being threatened due to cooperation between India and China. As the closeness between India and China will rise, the insecurity of Nepalese leaders and the related evoking of nationalist sentiments will become a major obstacle for India to deal in its relations with Nepal. The historical issue of Kalapani-Lipulekh, border dispute, will be a major factor used by Nepalese politicians as a tool to create India-China rift due to the fact that Nepal knows the vulnerabilities of India, and the border tensions with China. Unless, the Indian government settles these critical issues with Nepal, the irritants will become a major factor used by Nepal to impact India’s role in the region as well as dent its international image. Nepal will surely use hard bargaining to gain benefits from both neighbours.

Market and migrants: redefining China's urban social welfare system / Kochhar, Geeta   Journal Article
Kochhar, Geeta Journal Article

Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract China's reforms left many redundant workers with no social guarantees. At the same time, with the "push-and-pull" of market forces, rural populations are moving in bulk to urban areas where they are devoid of state benefits but use urban amenities. When the traditional social protection is breaking down and the market is taking command, new contradictions are arising over the distribution of state resources, making a workable social support structure desirable. This paper analyses how social welfare benefits are distributed among urban and rural populations in the urban centres, what changes have taken place with the introduction of a market economy and the nature of evolving welfare programmes in China.
