In examining Sino-Indian issues, Rajesh Rajagopalan reviews
India's "forward policy" versus China in the late 1950s
and early 1960s--a policy of deploying Indian troops in areas where
China was intruding, particularly Aksai Chin, which historians argue
provoked Beijing to launch the 1962 war. Indian
sensitivities are still rankled by the military defeat inflicted upon it
by China in 1962, in the short but intense border clash that left China
in possession of the disputed Aksai Chin territory. From the 1950s onwards, Beijing has
laid claim to an eastern portion of Kashmir named Aksai Chin, which lies
between the Chinese province of Xinjiang and Tibet. |
