The result is an overt emphasis on diplomatic and international history of a rather narrow form. In critiquing this narrowness, this paper offers an alternate chronology accompanied by two substantive case studies. Taken together, they demonstrate that an approach that takes seriously cultural, scientific and economic life leads to different sources and different historical arguments from an approach focused on political (and especially high political) life. Such a shift in emphasis, away from conflict, and onto moments of contact, comparison, cooperation, and competition, can contribute fresh perspectives not just on the histories of China and India, but also on histories of the Global South.

  • India - China Relations
    India - China Relations India-China Political Relations On 1 April, 1950, India became the first non-socialist bloc country to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China. Prime Minister Nehru visited China in October 1954. While, the India-China border conflict in 1962 was a serious setback to ties, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s landmark visit in 1988 began a phase of improvement in bilateral relations. In 1993, the signing of an Agreement on the Maintenance of Peace and Tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) on the India-China Border Areas during Prime Minister Narasimha Rao’s visit reflected the growing stability and substance in bilateral ties. Visits of Heads of States/Heads of Governments Cumulative outcomes of nine key visits in recent times have been transformational for our ties. These were that of Prime Minister Vajpayee [2003], of Premier Wen Jiabao [2005 &2010], of President Hu Jintao [2006], of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [2008 and 2013], of Premier Li Keqiang [2013], of President Xi Jinping [2014] and of Prime Minister Narendra Modi [2015]. During Prime Minister Vajpayee’s visit, the two sides signed a Declaration on Principles for Relations and Comprehensive Cooperation and also mutually decided to appoint Special Representatives (SRs) to explore the framework of a boundary settlement from the political perspective. During the April 2005 visit of Premier Wen Jiabao, the two sides established a Strategic and Cooperative Partnership for Peace and Prosperity, while the signing of an agreement on Political Parameters and Guiding Principles, signaled the successful conclusion of the first phase of SR Talks.

  • Sino-Indian Relations: Contours and Contents
    VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1, OCTOBER 2011 Sino-Indian Relations: Contours and Contents Rup Narayan Das* This article undertakes a historical tour d’horizon of relations between China and India from ancient to contemporary times. It provides a factual narrative of the journey that these two Asian civilisations and nation-states have taken over millennia and focuses on cultural as well as political and economic factors which have helped manage serious problems and crises. The author presents a hopeful picture of present-day ties between the two Asian giants and expresses guarded optimism about the ability of both sides to handle the pressures of growing competition in the future. _____________________________ The Sino-Indian relationship is multi-layered. There are many aspects to it, which in fact reinforce one another. The relationship has cultural and civilisational linkage, political resonance, strategic and security dimensions and robust economic content as well. This article makes and attempts to put this complex and yet dynamic relationship in perspective. In the narrative of Sino-Indian civilisational linkage, cultural and philosophical bonding occupies a very important position. From time immemorial, trade and commercial intercourse between India and China, which are well researched and documented, between land and sea, embraced ideas as well as merchandise. As is well known, there was a regular stream of Buddhist missionaries from India to China, beginning in AD 65 with Kashyapa Matanga, who was followed by such scholars as Kumarajiva, Dharma Kshama, and Paramartha. Chinese scholars too gravitated towards India and left behind their indelible imprint on it. Of these, the best known are Fa Hien and Hiun-Tsang, whose records of travels form an important source material of India’s social and political history.

    WAR HEROES: CONSTRUCTING THE SOLDIER AND THE STATE IN MODERN CHINA, 1924-1945 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yan Xu, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Christopher A. Reed, Adviser Professor Ying Zhang Professor Patricia Sieber Copyright by Yan Xu 2012 Abstract The frequency of wars in modern China between 1924 and 1945 was accompanied by the phenomenon that the soldier figure played an important ideological role in state rhetoric and social discussions. Different political, social and cultural forces, such as Jiang Jieshi (1887-1975)’s Nationalist government (1927-1949), the Whampoa Military Academy, urban intellectuals, activists, professionals, writers, students, and the Chinese Communists in the revolutionary base of Yan’an constructed the soldier figure to argue for their agendas and assert their political influence. The multiple meanings assigned to the soldier figure by diverse forces as well as the intentions behind the meanings are the main theme uniting this dissertation. This theme serves as a useful window to explore the state-building processes in the GMD and CCP areas and the complex state-society relations that were engendered by these processes in modern China. By examining how different political, social and cultural forces resisted, collaborated with, complicated, questioned and confronted the heroic ideal of the soldier promoted by Jiang and the Nationalist government, this dissertation demonstrates that the cultural negotiations over how to create and support a strong army were central to the state-building processes in modern China, and a significant factor in determining different trajectories in state-society relations in the regions controlled by the GMD and the CCP.

  • India-China Bilateral Relations
    INDIA-CHINA BILATERAL RELATIONS Political Relations The People's Republic of China (PRC) was established on October 1, 1949, and India was the first non-communist country to establish an Embassy in PRC. On April 1, 1950, India and China established diplomatic relations. The two countries also jointly expounded the Panchsheel (Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence) in 1954. Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai visited India in June 1954 and Prime Minister Nehru visited China in October 1954. Premier Zhou Enlai again visited India in January 1957 and in April 1960. The India-China conflict in 1962 led to a serious setback in bilateral relations. India and China restored ambassadorial relations in August 1976. Higher political level contacts were revived by the visit of the then External Affairs Minister, A.B. Vajpayee in February 1979. The Chinese Foreign Minister Huang Hua paid a return visit to India in June, 1981. Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi visited China in December 1988. During this visit, both sides agreed to develop and expand bilateral relations in all fields. It was also agreed to establish a Joint Working Group (JWG) - to seek fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution on the boundary question - and a Joint Economic Group (JEG). From the Chinese side, Premier Li Peng visited India in December 1991. Prime Minister Narasimha Rao visited China in September 1993. The Agreement on the Maintenance of Peace and Tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the India - China Border Area was signed during this visit, providing for both sides to respect the status quo on the border, clarify the LAC where there are doubts and undertake CBMs.
