| Summary/Abstract |
In fact, both India and China continue to struggle for the supremacy of the geopolitically sound and strategically important Indian Ocean Rim region (IOR) with a view to surpass each other in this area of sea waters as a major bone of contention between the two hostile neighbour though the thorniest border issue still remains unresolved between them. While Beijing ridicules Indian position with respect to Indian Ocean just not as India’s Ocean, China must also not extend its claim over the entire South China Sea as China’s own Sea and ought to honour this principle of equity as regards its expanding roles in Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar besides many other countries scattered around the Indian Ocean Rim.
