Prof Kondapalli on 'India-China:Protracted talks, Contested Sovereignties'


Dr.Kondapalli, Professor in Chinese Studies in his article, on rediff.com deciphers the complexities of boundary talks, recently held in New Delhi.

Prof. Kondapalli reviews A. G. Noorani's "India-China Boundary Problem, 1846-1947: History and Diplomacy"

Dr. Srikanth Kondapalli, Professor in Chinese Studies, reviews A. G. Noorani's "India-China Boundary Problem, 1846-1947: History and Diplomacy" for The Financial Express.
