Ebook: India-China-Nepal Decoding Trilateralism

Nepal is India’s closest neighbour, linked not just with geographic
boundaries but has a cultural and linguistic binding. China is also a close
neighbour of India, having territorial linkages and historical connections.
However, in the present day, the moment one talks of India-Nepal relations,
China is an inevitable discussion point. Similarly, when we talk of China-
Nepal relations, India is placed at the core. While India and China are two
rising big powers, Nepal is a small state between them, looked upon as "a
buffer state between India and China". The objective dimension of this
book looks into this trilateral relationship as it exists today and is likely to
evolve in future.
