| Summary/Abstract |
Manoj Kumar Mishra reviews the evolution of India’s policies towards its smaller Himalayan neighbours Nepal and Bhutan. China’s rising profile in the region and growing interaction with all regional states has whetted their appetite for greater independence from Indian influence. New Delhi must be mindful of the sensitivities of the two strategically situated and landlocked former protectorates, which Beijing seeks to involve gradually in its foreign cooperation projects.
