The Tibetan Problem In Sino-Indian Relations

India is the first capitalist country that established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. Since the bilateral relations setting up, it has experienced several stages: warm friends (1950s), cold war confrontation (1960s-1970s), alleviation (1980s), improvement and further progress (from 1990s). In fact, since China and India established diplomatic relation, it has gone over 50 years. Most of the time, the bilateral relations have been in a state of "cold peace". The tortuous experience of development of bilateral relations lie on many aspects: Tibetan problem, boundary disputes, Indian Atomic experiments, the elements of Pakistan, the USA and the Soviet Union etc. They all play important roles in the development of the Sino-India relations.The paper tries to study the Sino-Indian relations from a very important variable: the Tibetan problem. The whole article breaks into two parts: prophet and context (including three chapters and a conclusion).The first chapter of the paper makes clear our position from the very beginning: Tibet is one part of China that can't be cut apart. From the fact that the past central governments of China exercised valid governance, it can give us a solid proof that China owns the sovereignty of Tibet. We have profound proofs and legal basis. The paper explains the origin of Tibetan problem. The problem resulted from the intrusion of the British Imperialism. At the same time, it shows us the attitudes of international societies, Which is the international background of the policy evolution of India on Tibet. Then it comes to the Tibetan problem of Sino-Indian relations. Its occurrence lies in India completely: India's meddling in Tibetan problem, interfering with China inner politics. All of these built the main hinder that restrict the Sino-India bilateral relations.The second chapter is the focal point of the paper. It studies the inside-outside elements of India to Tibetan problem. I make clear the inner factors of India from the following points: geopolitical strategy, security strategy, big-power strategy purpose, religious culture and the masses' moods. India's geopolitical strategy, security strategy and big-power strategy make it take for granted that it should separate Tibet from China as a buffer state. Just as the pre-premier Nehru once said, "We can't agree that the protective screen (the Himalayas) is weakened, otherwise, our country's safety will be in danger." The other two excuses of India: religious culture and the mass' feelings are just pretence for India's ulterior motive, it's the fig leaf of India's attempt.International surroundings also played an important role in India's policy towards Tibetan problem. The paper select three countries: Pakistan, America, The Soviet Union (Russia) which have profound influence on India's policy on Tibet. Moreover, it researches how they affectIndia's policy to Tibet.The last chapter shows China's principled state from the very beginning, and tries to put forward to some beneficial suggestions for the countermeasures we should take on Tibetan problem. We explain the suggestions from two aspects: One is from inner China, suggest that we should strengthen our comprehensive national power, lay the power foundation of settling the problem of Tibet. The other is from international aspects: that is, develop good relationships with periphery countries to provide a fine international guarantee for solving Tibetan problem.The part of conclusion forecasts the development trend of Tibetan problem and its influence on Sino-Indian relations.
