A COMPELLING ACCOUNT OF INDIA-CHINA RELATIONS

Subramanian Swamy combines first-hand experience with a provocative exploration of historical sources and new insights to create Himalayan Challenge – the definitive account of India-china relations. From uncovering the perfidy committed by the British vis-à-vis the Mcmahon Line in 1936 and the circumstances leading to the folly of war in 1962, to the current fluid situation at the border, this work blends scholarship and memoirstyle writing. Swamy suggests a middle path grounded in pragmatism, and not carried out over fear or overreaction, that India must take in her interactions with China. Himalayan Challenge is an important book on the rise of China by an original thinker.
