History and Future of India-China Relations


Listen Later

India’s elections are underway! What does the future hold for the world’s largest democracy? Will the election results impact India-China relations? What about India-US relations?

To discuss, ChinaTalk interviewed Dr. Raja Mohan, Director of the Institute of South Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore.

Co-hosting today is James Crabtree, author of The Billionaire Raj.

We get into:

  • What the border disputes between China and India can tell us about the political economy of the two nations;
  • The anti-imperial history that frames India-China relations;
  • Modi’s election prospects and India’s spirit of democracy;
  • What score Biden’s diplomatic team has earned in Southeast Asia;
  • Criticisms of Modi and accusations of democratic backsliding;
  • Opportinities for friction in the US-India relationship, including Trump tariffs, immigration, and Russia;
  • Whether the US is making a “bad bet” on India, and how India is prepared to involve itself during an invasion of Taiwan.

  • Outtro Music: Jhoome Jo Pathaan Vishal-Shekhar, Arijit Singh, Sukriti Kakar, Vishal Dadlani, Shekhar Ravjiani, Kumaar https://open.spotify.com/track/6FAYpZ4jve8vpvTwUvjK6H?si=66c7c984fd52497cs
