The Takshashila Podcast

In this episode, Rakshith quizzes Saheb Singh Chadha, a senior research analyst at Carnegie India, who recently authored a paper that meticulously examines the four-year period of heightened tensions and negotiations between India and China from 2020-2024. This paper divides the period into three distinct phases based on the negotiating positions of both sides. The analysis explores various communication channels, including high-level political meetings, diplomatic talks, and military commander discussions. It investigates the underlying reasons for the conflict, noting that China views India's border infrastructure as part of a US plan to contain China. The paper also provides policy recommendations to help resolve the standoff. Check out the podcast and let us know your comments.
