INTRODUCTION

While China and India’s average incomes remain low, their sustained economic

growth of recent decades combined with their enormous populations (that each exceed

the size of the OECD) has turned both countries into such large players that their

economic scale is only exceeded by the United States, and possibly Japan.2 So though a

large share of their populations remain poor, both China and India are already heavily

integrated into the rest of the world’s trade and financial flows, making their current and

future development impossible to ignore.

Most recently, as the developed world has slipped into a severe and prolonged

recession – which many observers are calling a depression – China and India stand

alone among major economies in registering positive growth, with the rest of the

world’s economies hoping that these emerging giants will help to bring the rest of the

world out of its deep morass. Nevertheless, these countries are fragile and are still in the

midst of ongoing dramatic structural reforms, facilitated by their governments in some

straightforward as well as peculiar ways.

Recently, the Chinese case has been cited as an example to the most developed

countries of the potential virtues of a state-interventionist growth model to push

through dramatic reforms, which could even be of use to market economies that are

facing difficulty. Though there are many serious proponents of this view, and numerous

RELATIONS BETWEEN INDIA AND CHINA

India and China are two big countries not only of Asia but also of the world. They are two neighbouring counties and both have also preserved their five thousand years old cultures. They are agricultural countries and a great majority of population is rural. The lacks of villages spread all over the country and the rural population have been the main resources of the cultural expansion as well as of the economic growth of their respective countries.

The characteristic of harmony that Indian and Chinese Cultures achieved thousand of years ago made a great impact on the other countries of the world. As China and India are neighbouring nations, the quality of harmonization had a particular influence on the masses of the two countries. It can be noticed in the lives of the people living in the North-Western regions of India and of those living in the border areas of China.

The Indo-Chinese relationship was established long ago in the ancient

times, on the basis of the quality of harmony present in both the cultures. It will

require writing a big book to tell in detail about the long-standing cultural ties.

However, I would like to mention in brief that it was in consequence of the

profoundness of these cultural ties that hundred of Chinese scholars were the student

of the famous Nalanda University much before the advent of Christ. The Chinese

scholars participated in Buddhist Congregations [Sangeetis] ahead of others. They

were the centre of attraction in the forth congregation [Sangeeti] held in Kashmir

during the reign of Emperor Kanishka in the first century A.D.

From the time onwards and up to the 19th century, the scholars of the two

counties visited each other and strengthened the cultural relationship. In ancient

times, if the Indian scholars like Dharmaratha, Kumarajiva, Buddhajiva,

Dharmakshema and Sanghabhuti visited China, the Chinese scholars Fa-hein, Sung-

Yun, It-Sing and Huentsang came to India. Among them Huentsang was the

Chairman of a Buddhist conference sponsored by the Indian Emperor

Harshavardhana. It is not all. The way Huentsang and Fah-Yan enriched the Indian

history by their writings, they became inseparable part of it. In other words, the

Indian history is incomplete without a mention of them. I am, therefore, in a position

to say that the Indo-Chinese cultural relationship is not a past event of history but a

reality even now.

THE SECRET CYBER WAR BETWEEN

INDIA AND CHINAIndia discovered deadly Stuxnet internet worm from China targeting Indian strategic installations, computers, and networks. Bangalore is striking back like never before.

In Bangalore it’s called Chikku Sharbat. Is the nick name of Indian cyber worms that are creating havoc in Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA). No one knows if and when India unleashed the ''Sharbat'' in Chikku-land (China). But the Chinese in latest round have desperately unleashed the deadly Stuxnet internet worm without being able to completely concealing the identity of the originating identities.

While Chinese hackers are known to target Indian government websites, the scale and sophistication of Stuxnet suggests that only a government no less than that of countries like US, Israel or China could have done it. "I think it's more likely that China is behind Stuxnet than any other country," says American cyber warfare expert Jeffrey Carr.

What is just getting unveiled is the scare among the Chinese Military about Indian Cyber Missile Chikku Sharbat originating from Bangalore.

One of the solutions may be that US Corporations should keep Bangalore busier with outsourcing contracts so that Indian cyber hackers working in Bangalore have less time to go after Chikkuland (China).

CHINA AND INDIA SIGN BORDER DEAL

India and China have signed an agreement inDelhi aimed at resolving a long-runningdispute over their Himalayan border.India's national security adviser said it was "oneof the most significant documents" signed by thetwo countries.The agreement was sealed as Indian premierManmohan Singh met visiting ChineseCounterpart Wen Jiabao.

The world's two most populous countries fought a bitter war over their largely unmarked border in 1962.

'MAJOR PROCESS'India's National Security Adviser MK Narayanan told Indian

television that Indian and Chinese officials had worked out a

roadmap for resolving the disputed 3,550km (2,200 mile) border.

"It shows a lot of give and take on both sides," he said.

"We are very hopeful that this document will be the starting point

of a major process in the settlement of the boundary dispute

between India and China."

The joint statement by the two countries did not go into specifics

on the issue, talking of "political parameters" and "guiding

principles".

However, China has now formally given up its claim to the state of

Sikkim.
