India’s Tibet Policy In The Period Of Nehru And Sino-Indian Border Issue(1947-1959)

The Tibet issue is the British colonialists invaded China and attempting to split China, which in 1914 Simla Conference proposed "McMahon line" is the most significant. The Britain’s Tibet policy has a typical imperialist color, expand the British power, to prevent the south is the main purpose of thepolicy. However, after the withdrawal of the British South Asian continent, India, after the independence of the leaders, apparently inherited the British regard Tibet as a buffer zone policy thinking. In addition, to achieve the British left border interests by maintaining the policy of Tibet, Tibet become the primary consideration in the process of India’s Tibet policy formation concerns.Facing the fact ofPeople’s Republic of China established, and the need for policy toward China and India was facing difficulties in the area of facts, after the failure of trying to support the independence of Tibet, the policy adjustment on the situation of India reservoir, thought to maintain Tibet autonomous status for the primary purpose of height. At the same time it can be seen that the Tibet policy adjustments did not affect the the boundary interests in India which hidden in Tibet issue and the buffer action of Tibet in fact. Therefore, around the interests of the border in India and realize the "McMahon line",after the founding of People’s Republic of China, India’s Tibet policy is divided into two stages. During the 1956 Zhou Enlai’s visit to India and Nehru on Tibet and the border issue reached consensus as the main watershed. After through diplomatic means to maintain the status of Tibet, the military means to achieve boundary control and boundary between leaders reached consensus, Nehru successfully used the Tibet issue to achieve the boundary of interests. Since India adjusted Tibet policy again, began to avoid involvement in Tibet, maintaining the status quo of Tibet stage.Until the situation and the status of Tibet had a radical changein 1959, Nehru’s Tibet policy failed once again. In India it seems that changes in the relationship between the evolution of the situation in Tibet and Chinese central government and Tibet local, pose a serious challenge to the northwest of India in the northern border and border defense security interests. In order to make up for the security threat caused by the change of status of Tibet, India is trying to expand the border while strengthening defense. This reflected changes of Nehru’s policies in the western part of the Sino Indian border Aksai Chin area. At the same time, it also leads to the China and India because of border disputes and the Tibet issue formed the irreconcilable contradiction. India has always made the boundary problem and the Tibet policy around together, then with the failure of the policy on Tibet, the boundary problem inherent interest demands and wider ambitions exposed, which makes China and India the fighting on the border issue is difficult to avoid.
