A
History of Sino-Indian Relations: From Conflict to Cooperation
During the 1950’s the
relations between India and China were flowery, based on the
peaceful co-existence, but the Tibet issue, followed by a border
dispute poisoned the climate of Sino-Indian entente cordiale.
Nehru’s policy of no-dispute and no-negotiation policies finally led
to a border war in 1962. From then on, Sino-Indian relations entered
an era of cold war which lasted nearly 20 years. However during the
era of Rajiv Gandhi (1988), the tension between the two countries
was minimized and initiatives were taken for improvement in the
relations. Since the end of cold war the relations between the two
countries has steadily improved, and also strengthened in various
fields of mutual interest. The continuous visits between the heads
of state and officials have strengthened the relations and various
issues including the border issue haves been in the discussion for
resolution by mutual cooperation. The recent visit of Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh brought a new direction in the bilateral relations.
In this paper attempt has been made to trace the history of
Sino-Indian relations.
