Book Review [91] : India - China Relationship

'India - China Relationship Rivalry and Engagement' is a very thought provoking and well researched book on the India - China relations. It does a historical survey of their relations, covers various dimensions including political, military, economics, energy etc as well their relations with respect to USSR/Russia, US and Pakistan. Its a good read for a student of the geopolitics of South Asia and gives a great insight into the coming challenges and opportunities in South and East Asia. The Sino-India partnership can make South Asia the next West of the world in terms of economic prosperity and high HDI but their rivalry can make it a poor cousin of middle east. The choice is on the leadership and the people of these two countries. The future generations have lot of expectations from these two countries.
Although this book was published in 2004 yet this book contains some very good gems from the volatile history of India and China.
Highly Recommended (8/10)
