    Describe Indo-China relations from 1947 to 1962.

    Answer:

    Nehru?s foreign policy towards neighbours: Due to the foreign policy with neighbouring countries, India-China nations border problem which created a lot of damage. India and China had the same experiences with foreign rule for more than two hundred years.
    (i) After the Chinese revolution in 1949, India was one of the first countries to recognise the communist government. Nehru helped the new government in international era. Some of the colleagues were worried about the possible aggression by China in future but Nehru thought it was exceedingly unlikely that India will face an attack from China.
    (ii) On 29th April 1954, a peaceful co-existence between Zhou Enlai and Nehru was a step in the direction of stronger relation between the two countries.
    (iii) The plateau of the central Asian region called Tibet, is one of the major issues that historically caused tension between India and China. In 1950 China took over the control of large part of Tibet, but population of Tibet demanded their freedom. Hence Panchsheel agreement was signed in 1954. In 1958 it was decided Tibet will be given greater autonomy than what they enjoyed. But many refugees came to India and other parts of the country. Dalai Lama also set up his home in Dharamshala. But due to these tension China invasion occurred in 1962, for which India demanded help from other countries. The attack lasted one week and Chinese forces captured some areas in Arunachal Pradesh. But after this China declared a cease fire. Now relations are good between India and China.
