A Study On The Issue Of Tibetan Separation In The Sino-Indian Relations

Since the founding of PRC,the relations between China and India have gone through an unfavorable process,including "Friendliness" in the 1950s,"Hostility" in the 1960s and 1970s,and "Reconciliation" since the 1980s.The reasons for this unfavorable process lie in the various factors affecting the relations between the two nations,like the historical problems,boundary disputes,India-Pakistan problems,Dalai issues, international factors,etc.Among all these issues,the key factor is the problem of Tibet Separation.This thesis intends to sort out the causes,developing process,and consequences of the Tibet Separation problem in the Sino-india relations,and hopes to put forward some constructive suggestions on the improvement of the Sino-india relations.There are three chapters in this thesis:Chapter 1 analyzes the formation of the Tibet Separation problem and its relevance to Indian support.Since World Warâ…¡,India has been attempting to inherit the colonial heritages of the UK,and its support for Tibetan protesters is one important element in the forming of the problem of Tibet Separation.Chapter 2 analyzes the close connection between the growth of Tibet Separation problem and the support from India.One main factor that allows the problem to grow is the fact that India has been supporting the Tibetan protesters' seditions and providing political asylum for them.This chapter further analyzes and concludes that the Tibetan Separation Problem has become a main barrier to the improvement of Sino-India relations.Chapter 3 puts forward some minor thoughts and suggestions on how to inhibit the Tibet Separation problem and improve the Sino-India relations.
