Strangers Across the Border - Reshma Patil
- In english. First published in 2012.
More than five decades since the month-long border war in 1962, mutual ignorance and prejudice define the relations between India and China. The two countries have differences over strategic issues beyond the border and Pakistan, including the Indian Ocean and South China Sea. The coming decade, with new governments in China in 2013 and in India in 2014, will be a crucial indicator of whether these neighbours move further apart or better manage their differences.
-> An interesting book bringing some light about how the 2 largest countries see, dislike, and need each other. Inspirational and useful reading allowing for a bit more of an understanding of this part of the world.
