Chindia by Shastri Ramachandaran offers a timely and insightful exploration of India China relations from 2008 to 2025. Drawing on his extensive experience and observations, the author examines the political, strategic, economic, and diplomatic developments that have shaped the relationship between Asias two largest nations.
