India China relations with special reference to Pakistan

Abstract

India and China are two emerging powers with a lot of potential. Their relation has not always been cordial and at its lowest have fought a war in 1962. In spite of this China is India s largest trading partner which suggests that there are areas for cooperation. But since they are both competing powers, conflict of interest is bound to occur in some areas. The present study analytically examines India China relations with a special emphasis given to Pakistan s role in this relation. China and Pakistan have forged a strategic partnership which is multi sectorial and also India centric. Therefore, it is of critical importance that a partnership of this kind is examined and the implications which may emanate from it. To achieve the objectives of the study descriptive and analytical method of research has been adopted of data from both Primary as well Secondary sources. newline
