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. He asserts Dai's basic mission to Delhi was to discuss a "framework" for the resolution of the boundary dispute between the two countries. While Dai stated that both sides have "scaled much height" in working out such a framework, as he is stepping down this year as the State Councilor and the Special Representative on border talks, he has little to show to his own people on the subject, having engaged with four Indian counterparts since 2003...

Prof Kondapalli on Deputy Chief of General Staff General Ma Xiaotian Visit to India

Dr. Kondapalli, Professor in Chinese Studies in his write up to rediff.com analyses the significance of Gen Ma's visit to India. He says 'this visit comes in the wake of the postponement of another high level meeting - that of the 15th Special Representative meeting a week ago with China citing the Dalai Lama's  sharing the platform of International Buddhist Convention at New Delhi around the same time of the meeting.

Right Sino-Indian move in right direction

from ChinaDaily

India and China have resumed their military dialogue with the visit of a high-level Indian defense delegation to Beijing. This is a confidence-building step, and may be followed by the fourth bilateral defense dialogue later this year.

Although the resumption of military exchanges has gained little coverage in the Chinese media, it has drawn much attention in India and other countries.

Many anxious observers are following the development closely, because the fourth defense dialogue will take place at an extremely critical juncture. Despite the three defense dialogues held earlier, and notwithstanding the multiple meetings between the leaders of the two countries, the 2011 defense dialogue will be held under the shadow of recent history

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. He says the book is a timely intervention, given the rise in nationalism and aggressive behaviour of China, the Chinese infrastructure projects in northern areas of Kashmir (in hydro-electric, road, and railway construction activities) and tensions between India and China on Arunachal Pradesh (termed since about 2005 in China as ‘southern Tibet’).
