China's territorial disputes with India have been a matter of
debate since 1950s. While China has amicably resolved boundary
disputes with twelve out of its fourteen neighbouring countries, it
is yet to resolve its boundary disputes with India and Bhutan as
also its maritime disputes in the South China Sea and East China
Sea. This volume looks at the complex dynamics of India-China
boundary disputes which remains unresolved. It is still the biggest
challenge to the relations between the two countries. From the
Indian perspective securing Arunachal and the Indus Watershed is
highly important. From the Chinese point of view Karakoram and
Xinjiang-Tibet road must be respected. Secondary issues have always
occupied a central and pivotal focus in the relations between India
and China. This work also shows how British efforts to secure a
defined and natural boundary began immediately after the creation
of Jammu and Kashmir in 1846 after Amritsar treaty. In the eastern
sector such an effort began only in the first decade of twentieth
century. Relevant documents have been presented which examines the
role of bureaucrats, diplomats, generals and surveyors. It examines
the treaties, conventions, correspondence as well as internal
debates between changing British officials and their conflicting
British policies. Nehru refused Chou En Lai in 1960, which in turn
led to the unilateralism in Chinese attitude after 1962. The volume
breaks new ground by evaluating the differing policies, and
explains how a secured boundary can ultimately be agreed upon.
