Abstract
Pakistan, China, and India not only share geographical borders
but also share a common history of sufferings at the hands of
colonial powers. Though all three of them received
independence around the same time, in the latter half of the
1940s, history haunted their political interactions. China and
India began their relations cordially enough, but geopolitical
disputes soon hampered the relationship. The Hindi-Chini Bhai
Bhai (Indian and Chinese are mutual brothers) slogan proved
short lived and Panchsheel (Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence) could not save their relations for long. The resultant
Sino-India war of 1962 changed the regional geopolitical map
and made Pakistan and China come closer for a more durable
relationship. Pakistan and India had a bad start with wars and
mistrust which finally pushed Pakistan and China towards closer
cooperation. This paper analyzes the way geopolitical dynamics
shaped the regional politics from 1947 to 1962.
