Since the mid-twentieth century China and India have entertained a
difficult relationship, erupting into open war in 1962. Shadow
States is the first book to unpack Sino-Indian tensions from the
angle of competitive state-building - through a study of their
simultaneous attempts to win the approval and support of the
Himalayan people. When China and India tried to expand into the
Himalayas in the twentieth century, their lack of strong ties to
the region and the absence of an easily enforceable border made
their proximity threatening - observing China and India's
state-making efforts, local inhabitants were in a position to
compare and potentially choose between them. Using rich and
original archival research, Berenice Guyot-Rechard shows how India
and China became each other's 'shadow states'. Understanding these
recent, competing processes of state formation in the Himalayas is
fundamental to understanding the roots of tensions in Sino-Indian
relations.
