Since ancient times, relations between India and China had been friendly. After independence, many ups and downs were seen in Sino-Indian relations. India always saw China as its best friend and its relation with China were strong in the field of culture and trade. The study of India-China relations is not only based on friendship feelings bat also based on the ups and downs of friendship.

In suitable reference, the study of India-China relations can be done through following points :

i. India’s outlook : 

Since beginning, India is expressing the wish of friendship with China. During freedom struggle, Nehru wrote clearly. “China would have friendship with India. when in China under Mao Tse Tung, communist rule was established, India made her friendly relations more strong”. For 1947 to 1959. 

Following were the reasons which strengthened relations between India and China :

1. To give recognition to communist China. 

2. India’s role in getting China membership in UNO. 

3. Agreement of both countries on Panchsheel. 

4. Co-operation on the question of Korea.

ii. Indian Policy on Tibet : 

For centuries, China was talking about its hold on Tibet. When communist government was formed in China, it declared its claim on Tibet. In 1950, Chinese government established its control over Tibet. Indian government talked with Chinese government, and afterwards, India accepted Chinese sovereignty over Tibet. Thus upto 1956, India and China’s relations remained cordial.

iii. China hard attitude towards India : 

In 1956, in Khampa area, a revolt started against Chinese rule. This revolt continued upto 1959. Chinese government crushed it on March 31, 1959, The Dalia Lama took political asylum in India with his followers. Later on, China blamed India and thus, relations turned bitter.

iv. China’s deceptive step : 

Showing her peaceful policy, India put a proposal to solve border question before China on May 10,1962, but China attacked India on October 20, while India was not ready for war.

v. Negligent attitude towards India: 

In 1965, war started between India and Pakistan. That time China supported Pakistan, and it declared India the aggressor. China warned India to stop construction on Sikkim border. But India did not heed it because India’s stance was just. China became silent and in 1971 with USA in UNO, declared India an aggressor by passing a proposal in UNO.

vi. India-China relations in changing situation : 

India and China are two big powers of Asia continent. But the relations between the two countries have remained far from cordial in the last 25 years. Both countries, specially India tried to improve relations with Beijing, but Chinese leaders put a suggestion before Indian journalists that if India accepted Chinese hold in Ladakh area, then in eastern sector, it would consider international border to be the line of control. But India did not accept it. On November 20, 2006, Chinese President made a visit to India.

It became helpful in making good relations, Through tourism, 2007 is celebrated as India China friendship year. Zintao suggested a new Panchsheel for the conduct of economic relations between India and China, and advised to follow its five principles so that relations between India and China may be improved.

After the formation of Modi government on September 17, 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping came to India and signed on 12 agreements. Then from 14-16 May 2015, P.M. Modi went to China and signed on 24 agreements of 10 billion dollars. Slowly, the relations are getting better. If the border dispute is solved, farreaching effect will be there in international and regional politics.
