Sino-Indian border dispute reconsidered
By: Maxwell, Neville.
Material type:
ArticlePublisher: 1999Description: p.905-18.Subject(s): India - Foreign relations - China | International relations
In:
Economic and Political WeeklySummary: The Nehru government sought to decide for itself where India's borders with China should lie and then impose the alignments it had chosen on Beijing, refusing to negotiate them. That meant that unless Beijing surrendered to India's territorial claims to Aksai Chin and areas north of the McMahon Line conflict was inevitable. China's military action in 1962 was reactive and pre-emptive, and that India suffered `unprovoked aggression' is a self-serving myth. That there has been no settlement of the Sino-Indian borders is the consequence of Nehru's policies, to which successor governments, except Narasimha Rao's, have strictly adhered. - Reproduced
