ABSTRACT:
India and China have shown keen interest in expanding their influences in terms of trade in the whole world through heavy investments and an increase in exports. Economically, India has had its fair share of struggle since Independence, for instance, the balance of payment crisis in 1991, which would have put the country in a debt trap had the acting government, not ‘liberalised’ the Indian economy. Similarly, China too had to struggle after its independence in 1949, that too under the harsh and incompetent regime of Mao Tsung. However given the oddest circumstances both these nations modernised themselves in a short period. A lot of credit for their success should be attributed to their foreign policy, especially towards South Asia. This paper would majorly focus on the bilateral relations of India and China with Bangladesh and Pakistan and how geopolitics has had an impact on it.
