Mcmahon line : a century of discord
By: Singh, J.J.
Publisher: Noida HarperCollins Publishers 2019Description: xix, 441p.ISBN: 9789352777754.Subject(s): Foreign Relation -- China--Tibet Autonomous Region -- Boundaries -- India -- China -- TibetDDC classification: 327.54051 Summary: Sir Henry McMahon, a British colonial administrator, drew a line along the Himalayas at the Simla Convention of 1913-14, demarcating what would in later years become the effective boundary between China and India. The boundary, disputed by India's northern neighbour, has had a profound effect on the relations between the two Asian giants, resulting prominently in the war of 1962 but also in several skirmishes and stand-offs both before and after that. It continues to be a thorn in the side - reaching a flashpoint at the tri-junction between Tibet, Sikkim and Bhutan in Doklam in 2017 - and may derail all the progress in bilateral ties if left unattended.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
