Summary/Abstract |
India and China are two major Asian powers, vying for a dominant geo-strategic space & say in world affairs, owing largely to their respective sizes of population, area and economic clout. Both the countries are members of BRICS, an association of developing or newly industrialised nations which are distinguished by their large and fast growing economies with significant influence on regional and global affairs. China is also one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Since Independence, India’s China policy has witnessed a number of highs and lows in their relations, the hallmark being the boundary and territorial disputes.
