No. 2 SC #04157/63 THE S INO- INDIAN BORDER DISPUTB This is a working paper, the first of three on the Sino- Indian border dispute. This paper traces the political factors which led initially to the dispute and later to the attack of 20 October 1962. In focusing on the motivation of the Chinese and Indian leaders, the paper offers only a cursory exposition of the historical case each side has developed for its border claims, ...I. and it does not attempt toNjudge the legality 0.f the respective claims. The SinowIndian dispute, as we see it, did not arise as a function of the Sino-Soviet dispute and has not been conducted primarily with a view to its effect on that dispute.

Upon entering a community, always introduce yourself and your fellow team members to the village chief and elders. Briefly explain the purpose of the survey, and be sure to gain permission before commencing data collection. Whenever possible, interview people alone; because some of the questions may address sensitive topics, the presence of another person may be distracting and may bias results. Always ask questions as they appear on the questionnaire, based on the translations agreed upon during the interviewer training. If questions are not asked in the same way, results will not be comparable. Unless otherwise indicated on the questionnaire, do not read response choices aloud; responses should be spontaneous. As a general rule, the response choices listed on the questionnaire should not be read aloud except for those questions containing 2 or more columns of check boxes (labeled ‘YES/NO/DK); items having either coded (numbered) response choices or a single column of check boxes should be posed as open-ended questions and responses should not be read aloud or prompted by the interviewer.
