Items related to India and China in the Colonial World
This brings together thirteen essays by eminent Indian and Chinese scholars as well as young researchers who look at the multi-dimensional interaction between the two countries. This interaction was a complex one. It was of many kinds and took place at various levels. It is possible to see in these interactions seeds of future misunderstanding as well as a basis for common aspirations founded on a sense of shared anti-imperialism and the rediscovery of each other's cultures. This volume looks at some of the problems that confronted the relations between India and China as new states and in doing so, challenges stereotyped images of this relationship.
The major areas of the India-China relationship covered in this book relate to trade, migratory communities, cultural interaction, and links between the political struggles in the two countries. It also includes some aspects of the situation during and after World War II. Some papers, such as those on the importance of Shanghai in Sino-Indian trade; the presence of the Chinese community in India and Indians in China; Indian fighters in the Taiping Rebellion; Gandhi and the Chinese in South Africa; and ties between Southwest China and Northeast Indian during World War II present the findings of new research. Others such as those pertaining to the opium trade; the controversial visit of Rabindranath Tagore to China; and the complexity of Subhash Chandra Bose's position with relation to both China and Japan, have been put in a new light.
